    So glad we got to experience this! The food was phenomenal. The service (we sat at the bar) was on point - informative, friendly, unobtrusive. Sad to learn it was a pop-up, and would no longer be open after mid-October. We will definitely follow this chef (reportedly headed to NYC) for more of her delightful dishes!

    Great restaurant! Huge portions, delicious food, and we loved the physical space; very cool, clean and unblemished, with touches of 1950's memorabilia on the walls. The service was very friendly as were the other patrons in the restaurant during our visit. Great experience and we will be back!

    In a city where you cannot find a bad meal, this is my longtime favorite! Location, menu, quality of the Food, and Service all top-notch. Actually not as expensive as some of his other venues like Fore Street and Scales and every bit as good. Hopefully Street And Company lasts forever.  go and enjoy!

    This was our first time at The Corner Room. We were pleasantly surprised. Our server Shawn was attentive without being a pest. The food was delicious. Our table ordered salads, chicken parmigiana, cioppino, gemelli with pesto and salmon. Every dish was well seasoned and tasty. We split a carafe of wine with our friends and the carafe was split equally between our checks. What a great thing and no complaints from the staff. Bravo. We will be back next year on our annual Portland trip.
