Snow Squall - South Portland

I looked on Google for a restaurant that served clam chowder and possibly lobster, and I came across The Snow Squall Restaurant, located just across the Casco Bay Bridge in Autumn 2019. The area is a mix of residential and commercial, with plenty of parking available, even for our 25-foot RV. The food and service were outstanding, so I’m giving it a FIVE-star rating in this review. My husband and I enjoyed the chowder and shared some crab cakes as an appetizer. They also have a full bar featuring local beers that were easy to sample and enjoy. Overall, the meal and experience were fantastic!

What a charming and quirky restaurant! The food, sourced from local vendors, was incredible. The atmosphere was delightful, and there was a live band performing during our visit. It's certainly a hidden gem!

Every week, we make it a point to try a new restaurant, and this week we struck gold with The Snow Squall restaurant. It was such a delightful surprise—delicious food, outstanding service, and a five-star chef who owns the place. I can't praise the service we received from Danielle enough; she was fantastic. I have a food allergy, and the chef made sure to inform me about the ingredients in the dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning soon!

I ate brunch here for the first time since living in Portland and thoroughly enjoyed my meal and experience. The location is perfect. Right on the marina in Cape Elizabeth. There are options for outdoor and indoor dining and the patio is nice if you want to sit outside. I would love to come back for a dinner in the near future. Service is a bit slow but I didn't mind and it wasn't unreasonable. It makes for a nice break in the day and if I sit down to a restaurant, I'm not there to rush. The owner was lovely and accommodating. I will definitely be back. This local business certainly deserves the support!

The food...what can I say except it's exquisite. I got the crab encrusted haddock with lemon and spinach rissoto. Let me just say this fish was moist, full of flavor, light, and deliciously decadent. The Chai martini was sweet but very well balanced. I am counting down the minutes til the next time I'm here.
