"The captain of HMS Boxer, Commander Samuel Blyth, was killed early in the action by a cannonball; had he lived he might have defended his ship more desperately, but it is not probable with more success. It was his fate now to receive like courtesy at the hands of his enemy. His remains, in company with those of the brave Lieutenant William Burrows, were brought to Portland, where they were interred with military honours in Eastern Cemetery. It was a striking and affecting sight, to behold two gallant commanders, who had lately been arrayed in deadly hostility against each other, descending into one quiet grave, there to mingle their dust peacefully together."
My husband and I really enjoyed our quick lunch stop! The service was great, so was the food. I couldn’t enjoy the decor more. I don’t live in Portland otherwise I will be there often!
You can tell that the creators of their menu absolutely love what they do and is really creativity at its finest. I mean Tom Yum Punch is certifiably insane but I will remember how amazing it was for a long time.
Awesome love the service and atmosphere and how can you beat $1 oyster Wednesdays . Our group loved the drink specials and great beers on the menu and other cocktails .
Most unique but also just all around best cocktails I had in Portland! That Tom Yum drink is truly mind blowing. The oyster shots are also outstanding.if you see a pho cocktail on there in the future just know that was inspired by me!
Such a fun little place to find. People were walking out from it and told us we should check out the door down the alley. Very happy we followed the advice of those strangers. I asked for a mocktail, dealers choice and I got a very yummy drink and the other two drinks my friends got were delicious also.
