Delectable food, pleasant ambiance, excellent service: simply a perfect dining venue. If you want to try something off the beaten path and enjoy a leisurely evening, Vinland is the spot. All ingredients are locally sourced and organic, and the space is small and cozy. Great care goes into every dish, and the superb service completes the experience. We had a 2.5-hour dinner here, and felt welcome to take our time and enjoy a slow dinner, taking pleasure in every course. Highly recommended!

Incredible meal. Our second time there and possibly even better than the first. I had the mussels-big plump mussels with a flavorful broth- my daughter had scallops and her boyfriend chose the strip steak. Wonderful meals all, carefully sourced and thoughtfully presented. Don't pass up the chance to dine here.

Eat delectable 100% local food to nourish your soul! The Nordic and Italian influences of chef David Levi's background are apparent in his artfully composed, minimal plates. The carefully balanced flavors and attention to detail in plating will leave you planning a return trip to Vinland. I have had a tasting menu dinner at Eleven Madison Park, but I would choose a meal at Vinland over that any day.

I wish I could give Vinland 4.5 stars as it merits more. Excellent farm to table restaurant that truly only gets food from Maine. We had a salad and the cold soup. The turnip soup was excellent and the presentation was gorgeous. The salad was beautiful but a bit too salted for my taste. This is where I take the half star off. Too many restaurants over salt their food.
Dinner was the Bangs Island mussels and monkfish which were both amazing. Vinland is a place to visit if you're in Portland. It has cute ambiance, a friendly staff and excellent food. Definitely a recommended place!

Unbelievable! I love this restaurant: everything is 100% organic and local, incredibly nutritious and delicious. Super attentive, pleasant and passionate waitstaff! We were so honored as well that the chef said hello. We will certainly return the next time we are in Portland; can't wait!
