Best Casual Restaurants in Five Corners

Our new favorite Italian restaurant. Our reservation table was ready when we arrived, great service, good choice of wines.

We arrived earlier than our 5:30pm reservation but were still graciously seated, and immediately told about the “Golden Hour.” Our kind and informative server was thoughtfully descriptive when telling us about particular menu items we had questions about (e.g. Sambal flight), as well as made the recommendation of ordering rice with the Grilled Banana Leaf Black Cod (which was definitely appreciated), and checked in with us throughout the meal with perfect timing. We all agreed that every dish was delicious, and we especially enjoyed the Chinese Sausage & Shrimp Siu Mai w/spicy mustard, the Zucchini & Corn Fritter, and the Dry Aged Steak Tartare. The decor of the restaurant was colorful and eclectic which created a comfortable non-pretentious vibe. We look forward to our next visit!

Best trivia in town! Well organized and interactive.

I cannot even put into words what a wonderful experience it was dining at Morchella. My partner & I came to celebrate our anniversary with the 7 course chefs tasting menu. From tip to tail, the experience was curated with intention, care, and passion. The ambiance is mellow, beautiful & intimate. The service was incredible with very knowledgeable servers & chef Cam going the extra mile to tell us the history of the foraged spices used in our drinks & food. If you are looking for an affordable fresh fine dining experience in the Portland area, Morchella is the place to go.

The decor of the restaurant is so detailed. Such an amazing place. We loved it.
