"Get the Sourdough Grilled Cheese! Absolutely the Best grilled cheese we have ever had! Great drinks, Espresso Martini, and small plates of great food. Come and get some. Next to our hotel, the Inn at St. John. The staff is great and the place is nicely decorated and is the perfect size for hanging with friends. We are just visiting from Ohio and will come back for sure!!"

"A relaxing atmosphere with great service and delicious small plates. Freshly made food, and in-house prepared desserts.. Great price point for the quality."

"Hidden gem! Great drinks. Great service. Fantastic small plates. Owners fully involved."

"B&O is a gem. Food is delicious. Drinks are creative. Prices are reasonable. Everybody knows your name. The seared tuna will blow you away. It’s like walking into a big hug."

"In a random twist of events, we found ourselves looking for a bite to eat on our way to our hotel in South Portland. We decided to look in the less crowded area of town and happened upon Bread and Olive. The dishes were mostly tapas sized. All of the ingredients seemed fresh and homemade. We had the bread and olives for an appetizer, the Mediterranean Flatbread and the grilled cheese... all of which were delicious. The homemade sourdough was absolutely delectable. The best part about the dishes being smaller is that we had room for dessert, which was a bundt cake. Lastly, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend Bread and Olive!!!"
