Unfortunately the Fore Street Restaurant does not post a daily menu online - so the selection for this day isn't listed

Looking to fly into Portland, Maine (PWM) and finding the price a bit steep... Try flying into Boston, Massachusetts (BOS). Take the shuttle bus from Boston Logan airport to the Portland, Maine bus terminal - which is next to the Portland, Maine Amtrak station as well as walking distance from downtown. I've taken this route to have greater flexibility with flight times and get better fares. The airport shuttle usually takes 1 hour and 30 minutes so make sure to factor in traffic for the just in case scenarios.
Another alternative route is to fly into Manchester, New Hampshire (MHT) then taking the airport shuttle to Portland, Maine. I have yet to take the route though.Shuttle Bus links:
