"We do not get to Portland as often as we like, and definitely have our favorites; however, we heard about Bolster Snow Company and were excited to try a new place. We chose to sit at the bar with direct view to very small but efficient kitchen. We went early which was a treat, as Executive Chef Verdisco and team were congenial and shared with us their experience, training, and influences for the menu. We started with the oysters and shrimp which were so fresh and delicious we ordered. We moved on to the fried olives with harissa and a lovely field green salad, with beets and goat cheese, which I would recommend as they were prepared perfectly and very flavorful For our final selections we had the Duck and Papparedele. The duck was perfectly prepared and generous in portion. The Peach and Apricot were a nice surprise and paired beautifully. The Papparedele was so delicious and we could taste the freshness of being made in house. The Lamb Sausage was so delicious; we savored every last bite and left us wanting more. The presentation of the food and selection of wine was impressive, the service impeccable, and restoration of the space and history makes for an inviting and comfortable experience. We will be back"
