"I recently visited Bistro 233 in Portland, Maine, which is one of my favorite places to be. The experience started off a bit rocky as we waited for about 20 minutes without anyone taking our order. Just as we were about to leave, my husband noticed that there was only one waiter serving all the tables. Despite being overwhelmed with 13 tables, the waiter was incredibly pleasant, apologetic, and took our orders promptly. The oysters, fried calamari, shrimp cabanara linguini, hummingbird cake, and martinis that we ordered were all excellent. The fried calamari was especially the best we've ever had. Despite the initial wait, I will definitely be returning to Bistro 233 as the food was worth it. The oysters were only $1 on Wednesdays and everything was seasoned well and very tasty."
