Reservations for 6 and a newborn at the last minute. The menu had some of their brunch standards with a Father's Day twist.The "sliders" (555's take on Eggs Benny) are my favorite brunch menu items.
The service and setting is always impeccable, and personable. The menu is local and fresh and a real culinary experience in an unpretentious manner.

A wonderful museum. The museum itself is a work of art. The Wyeth paintings that are part of the museum's permanent collection are not to be missed. The changing exhibits have never disappointed me. Check out the glass downstairs and you will see some early Dale Chihuly's. Wonderful. Make this part of your tour of the Old Port, you will be glad you did.

We visit this museum every time we're in Maine - two or three times a year. It's really a wonderful, creative, cheerful place, clean and brightly lit too.
It's a very manageable museum - not huge, but plenty to do: balls and ramps, a fire truck, gas station, grocery store, barn, vet's office, touch tank, to name a few areas. It's like a huge indoor educational playspace, very hands on. During nice weather there's a great outdoor area with a ship to climb on and a music area that's kind of like a big percussion station.
There's no cafe, only vending machines, but there are tables and chairs if you want to bring your own food. You can also get your hand stamped and return later that day if you want to take a lunch break somewhere else.
If you have younger children, you should really plan a visit. It will be a couple of hours very well spent.
