Helmand
Apr 23, 2008 by Katherine from Northern Maine
Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Highly spiced, delicious and different food.
• It's not cheap, but well worth it.

“The food at Helmand Afghan Restaurant is incredible. Everything was delicious and perfectly done, nicely presented. We tried the Kaddo appetizer-pumpkin w/sugar on yogurt/garlic sauce topped with ground beef sauce sounds weird, right? No scrumptious! Entrees were all tasty. Mine was Aushak-leek and scallion ravioli. Unbelievable. Every bite had a new nuance of wonderful flavor. Also sampled the other dishes our group ordered the spiced rice was just yummy; two different lamb dishes were both perfect, tasty but entirely distinct from each other, the trout was lovely. I think one person got the wrong entree but didn't care! Even the flatbread with 3 sauces for dipping was excellent. Make a reservation, and go there soon!”

• Food temperature, service, cost.

“This restaurant is local to my home so my family has been a few times; it seems as though every time there has been at least one problem with our order. Tonight we ordered rice and asked that it not have bean sprouts in it, when we picked up the order, we asked about it again and they confirmed when we got home and found the bean sprouts they were not willing to work with us to fix our dinner. Reasonably expensive and service is quite disappointing. They even hung up the phone on me when I called with the complaints. We've also had trouble with them shortchanging us with extras such as rolls and sauces. We usually order food for 4 people, and have always gotten one roll in the past, with tonight's order we got none at all.”

La Groceria Restaurant

Overall Rating: 2
Food:[1] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[4]

• The service was fine.
• The food was unsatisfactory.

“The meal was overall very disappointing: our appetizer was served with unripe, green tomatoes. My main dish was presented cold, upon reheating the meat was too chewy to finish. Furthermore, I was kept up most of the night with a terrible stomach ache. My meal had the strangest combination of flavors and sadly they just did not compliment each other. Upon complaining I was offered a free dessert. I declined; resolving never to return.”

Sunset Grille

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[9] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Food was fresh and well prepared.
• Means bathroom needed up dating.

“This is a great local eatery and watering hole. My favorite dish is the roast goat with fried potatoes and rice. You can sample great Portuguese cosine, wines and other fares. If you are looking for something other than the same mass market cosines in America then the sunset is for you. From seafood and a verity of meats, (beef, chicken, goat & rabbit) all the food is well prepared and fresh...”

• Food was fresh, plentiful and delicious.
• Half-hour wait for a table.

“Great fresh seafood. A good menu with fresh daily choices put up on the wall on a huge blackboard. Open concept floor plan gives diners lots of room, even when busy. Comfortable chairs. Also has non-seafood choices. Fresh in-season veggies & fruits featured on the blackboard as sides and desserts.”
