There’s something special about Sur Lie.

Sur Lie is a tapas style restaurant in downtown Portland, Maine serving American contemporary cuisine of an eclectic mix of influences from all over the world. Sur Lie uses tapas as a way to bring people together and create a unique dining experience. The food focus is on the amazing and beautiful bounty of locally sourced ingredients that Maine has to offer.

To us it’s about buying local. It’s about giving back to our community. Food and drink are a craft, something we take pride in. It’s more than sitting down to eat dinner. You get more than food and a couple drinks – you get an experience. To us, it is about giving each guest an amazing experience.

Happy Hour all day Wednesday, and 5-6pm Thursday-Saturday. Only available in the Bar/Lounge.

Excellent food and friendly service with unique and inventive dishes. We made dinner reservations for a Saturday night and were seated when we arrived. The server was friendly and helpful and recommended 4-6 dishes for two people to share. The dishes were unique and came out as prepared and all very flavorful with quality ingredients. Some were a bit small for sharing but others were much larger and overall balanced out on value. The Lobster Popovers were very good but our favorite were two fall inspired dishes the roast acorn squash and mushroom gnocchi. We would definitely order all three again. Prices were reasonable considering flavors and quality however we skipped dessert as nothing on the menu interested us. A great place for dinner out.

I didn't love their food. We had the shrimp, scallop, mussels, cod, and the lobster popover. The shrimp and scallops were pretty good.as was the cod. The mussels were not to my taste. The biggest disappointment was the lobster popovers which is the reason we came. The sauce was not good, the rest of the popover was just so so.

I thought the dishes were interesting and well-prepared. The restaurant is small plates, six dishes for two people were just right, leaving room for dessert. 206 dollars before tip. Favorites: muscles in curry sauce, lobster popover.

I have never left a review before but for this place, I just have to! We ate here last week for our anniversary dinner. And let me tell you. It blew. My. Mind.The food was so damn good, I can’t stop thinking about it.. especially the pork belly, scallops and the steak! Our server was so great.. explained everything when it came out. The atmosphere is cozy yet super vibey! Wish I could give Sur Lie 10 stars! We will definitely be back when we visit Portland next!

We had an amazing dinner at Sur Lie. The drinks in particular were so unique and delicious, but the food was also incredible. We had the wild arugula salad, scallops, the popover, steak, and pasta, and it was all incredible. I think the popover and pasta were probably our favorites.Our server was knowledgeable and easily answered any questions we had about the menu - highly recommend!

Sur Lie isn't just a meal; it's an experience that lingers long after the last bite. The intimate bistro captures the essence of fine dining without any pretense.The staff elevates the dining experience. They're knowledgeable about the menu, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely excited to share their recommendations. The owner in particular is very involved and makes sure both her staff and the guest are having a good time. It's clear the whole team is invested in making sure every guest leaves happy.The ingredients were fresh, everything was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were bold while maintaining balance.The tapas sized portions are perfect for sharing, letting you try more of the menu. We ordered 7 to start and ended up added 2 more because it was so good (sadly I didn't photograph everything!)Highly recommend sitting at the chefs counter! It was such a fun experience. The chef was really engaging. We'll be back again in the future :)

What a delicious meal! From the moment you walk in the server greets you with a smile. The music was almost like low-fly, loud enough to enjoy but easy to talk and hear over. We started with cocktails which were so fine. Then a few dishes of yummyness. Dinner was spaced out just enough to make the meal flow but not feel rushed. Price was just right… super happy!

Walked in early without a reservation on a Saturday night and was lucky enough to nab a high top in the bar area. Every dish was lovely from start to finish. Memorable shared dish meal with friends. Fantastic service and a cozy atmosphere. Local catch and pork belly were my favorites. ❤️
