horrifically slow and poor service with the most rude, disinterested waitstaff i've ever met. patrons don't come to spend 100s at an establishment to be talked to like that. the food was mostly unmemorable other than the steak, which was ge

The best meal of my life, and at 70 years of age that is saying something! The dining room is simple modern - a look I like. Service was impeccable. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. Presentation of our prix fixe meal was not rushed and all

In 70 years on this planet this was the best meal of my life! I will likely never have a martini that can match the one at Twelve. My dinner companion and I agreed that every bite of our appetizers, main courses and desserts were unparalleled. The am
Best meal we've had in awhile!
Was definitely a meal that lived up to its promise. Food was outstanding - upscale without being tortured. Service was top-notch - helpful, knowledgable without being pretentious or overbearing. Ambiance was perfect. Best meal we've had in a ver
Great food, truly spectacular.
Acoustics no issue- not too loud, comfortable seating not crowded tables. Five star experience for prix fix menu.

We came by for some celebrations again this year and as much as we wanted to love it again it was pretty good but better last visit. Staff had a few hiccups in a few things but were as nice as could be. (They fixed it with a smile as we politely ment
Wow! This is hands down the best restaurant in Portland.
I had the pre-fix menu with the tuna credo, steak, and floating island. Each course was delicious, and you could tell each ingredient on the plate was chosen with care. Definitely a must try for any ME foodie!

My husband and I dined here on our last night in Portland after a week long trip along the coast. We did the prix fixe along with the elevated wine pairing. We subbed the dessert for an additional appetizer. We were blown away by every course! Each

The prix fixe menu was fun and the wine pairing was exceptional. We loved the food and enjoyed the pace. Lovely ambience and the service was frankly outstanding.

Loved my dinner with my wife! great food and amazing hospitality. not somewhere I would go regularly, but will be back.
The portions were very small for the price.
Food was too salty. Service was slow. $20 for cut up cucumber? Dont come here.
Saucey.
The open kitchen is buzzing. The bar is expensive but great. Management and hosts are middling. We find the east coast cooking to be over-sauced and this place crowns king of putting sauce over the fresh ingredient upon which the sauce covers. It

Unfortunately, I was not able to answer the owner on the Twelve website review. We were ONLY given a price fix menu for $110.00 per person. Our waiter was Andrew and he seemed like a nice man. He NEVER offered an A La Carte menu. We were sitting
Disappointing food good waiter
When the best thing about a restaurant is a lovely waiter... the sour faced cooks in the kitchen made careless food, with their bare hands. I will say that my tuna appetizer was very good, but I had old, brown peashoots on my halibut which spoiled it
Energetic vibe, Amazing service, and interesting, often delicious food
This is a restaurant for people who are serious and open-minded about trying different taste and texture combinations-- often with unusual ingredients. The menu is creative and delicious, the servers well-versed in the wine list and the menu options.
Memorable Experience
My wife and I came to Twelve for our second wedding anniversary and provided such a memorable experience. We informed them during the reservation process that it was our anniversary and they truly went above and beyond. We were seated a beautiful co
Incredible Food, Unpretentious Service
Couldn’t be happier with our special night out. We sought Twelve out on a recommendation from a friend and drove 2 hours to celebrate my son’s 13th birthday. Both of my kids are huge foodies, but bringing them to fine-dining establishments is alw
Lives up to Portland (ME)'s growing food reputation
We were a bit apprehensive (having been warned by locals that the owner can be a bit of a jerk and) given some of the hype surrounding the Portland food scene, where demand for a high-end experience still seems to exceed the real supply, but we were
What a fantastic find 5 Stars
What an amazing experience. We sat at the chefs table which was fantastic to observe such a well oiled machine. It was great to watch an incredibly good humoured bunch of professionals. The food was in every way delicious and a visual feast. Service
Absolutely awful
Twelve had a special price fixed 5 course menu for Valentine's weekend. It was $125 per person. We were a party of 6 all of whom have fairly discerning and sophisticated taste in food. Simply put we all deemed the food we sampled at Twelve to be
Winter, and appreciate "Burgers @ The Bar" while we do not appreciate your 3% Kitchen Wellness Fee
Similarly to last year, at this time of the year Twelve offers burgers at the bar seating. And we really enjoy this food service annually for $25 each. The chef kindly cooked both burgers MR and not the suggested M, so they were super good to our tas
A wonderful evening!
This is a well polished, professional establishment! The crew worked as a team! The food and service was to die for! I went for their lobster roll! It’s different, not your traditional but a gourmet version! It was in a brown butter cream sauce wit
Connect with users posting reservations for Twelve Portland
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Twelve Portland. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Twelve Portland at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Twelve Portland page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Twelve Portland to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Twelve Portland!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
