Little Giant

Being safe on the patio courtyard with ventilation, a heated floor and a menu that includes eggs, lobster and caviar on brioche just cannot get old.

a lovely date night during covid times: little giant's outdoor patio is warm with proper airflow and space between tables to feel like a safe choice during the pandemic. delicious burger and sea witch cocktail. incredible, attentive, fun service.

Perfect and safe outdoor dining! Attentive and friendly staff, awesome cocktails, and delicious food. Stay for the cocktails, the people, the food, honestly just move in there if they let you.

Little Giant has created an excellent, very attractive, and comfortable outdoor dining area. The food is delicious, innovative and creative. We have never been disappointed. Definitely in our top 3 favorite restaurants... maybe even taking first place. The staff is exceptional.

Little Giant was great. Outdoor seating with plenty of heaters to stay comfortable. We were even offered seat warmers. The food was excellent and so were the cocktails.

Wonderful brunch menu! Every dish is creative and thoughtful and the space is amazingly warm and comfortable.

If you are looking for a spot with lovely food, that is following COVID-19 prevention protocols then Little Giant would be a great fit!

My partner and I stopped by to celebrate a birthday brunch just the two of us and found it was the opening weekend for their new outdoor patio.

The tables were spaced far apart, servers were wiping down chairs and the tables after each party, and heat lamps were placed all around making for a warm meal even in January in Maine.

My partner ordered the huevos rancheros, which were spicy and eggs cooked perfectly. I ordered the Spanish toast, a large piece of bread toasted with honey with an incredible whipped spread. We shared an order of the potatoes with garlic aioli, that was also lovely.

Would highly recommend Little Giant and looking forward to our return trip!

excellent choices for brunch food. very comfortable outdoor ambiance

We have dined here multiple times but the food and drink this past weekend was perfection! Fully recommend the crudo specials!

We loved the ambience and the food, it's always so good here!
The music is awesome too!

Great new outdoor space

This was my second visit to Little Giant in the last few weeks as I just had to treat my friend to her birthday dinner at this fabulous restaurant! Everything the team at this restaurant does is first class. I felt well cared for by all! You will love their new outside dining space!

Eating oysters and salmon in a well ventilated, outside yet comfortably warm setting in Maine in January, made me count my blessings.

In light of the Covid Climate, Little Giant has endeavored to pull out all the stops and create a safe environment for customers to gather and enjoy creative good food.

This is the place to be! The patio is comfortably warm and aesthetically pleasing. The Shakshouka on the brunch menu is the best I have tasted since being in Akko.

You can tell everyone who works here respects their place of work and the product they serve, which can be rare to come by! The food was delicious. The drinks were thoughtful and tasty. The new heated outdoor patio is an absolute treasure. We loved our brunch and felt like they were making the necessary concessions for us to be clean and safe.

Little Giant has created a amazing outdoor space that is chic, inviting and comfortable. We can't wait to go back and enjoy our favorite menu items! Highly recommend!

it is getting more difficult to find outdoor dining and Little Giant is a gem.

As always, this place delivers.

Little Giant always delivers, the staff go above and beyond to give everyone a very special dining experience in these complex times.

It is still cozy and comfortable under the heaters and there are some great new dishes.

Little Giant is consistently great.

We tried a number of small plates and each had uniquely paired flavors, nicely balanced. Everything was delicious and special!

Great services with fantastic outdoor space. The menu was small but well curated. Our waitress was veyr friendly and helpful

Thank you to the team at Little Giant for a fabulous "date night" enjoying dinner in your sidewalk cafe under the heat lamps. Special thanks to our server Rachel who was warm and welcoming, giving advice on the food and drinks. Even with the challenges of COVID-19, this restaurant turned out a top rate dining experience. I have recommended them to three friends just in the last day!

We had a really delicious dinner on Friday and loved the outdoor area behind the restaurant! A Portland gem!

We went on a Monday evening and had a reservation for outdoor dining. Right after we were seated they put the heaters on and it was comfortable sitting outside. The bourbon drink was delicious although the large ice cube, while esthetically pleasing, kept hitting my nose (granted it’s on the large size haha). Everything we ate was flavorful and presented beautifully. The fried artichokes, the roasted and grilled mushrooms and the cheeseburger were all excellent. We will return for sure.

Earthy, flavorful mushroom and delectable decadent chowder under the stars!

We’ve been twice in the past 2 weeks. It is our new favorite restaurant. Excellent and innovative menu, food and service.

Exceptional service, loved our waitress.

Best food and best cocktails in Portland. First in class all around.

The service really stood out as amazing. We loved the cocktails, the crispy squid and the deconstructed chowder. The fried chicken and tostadas/burritos were also delicious but a bit too salty. The back outdoor space is really sweet.

The food was delectable, with great recommendations from our server. The patio was spaced out perfectly and the outdoor heaters kept us as toasty as our meal. I cannot wait to go back, whatever the temperature is outside!

Keep coming here as long as you can. It is very comfortable under the heaters and there is always a new treat on the menu.

Awesome! Everything was great.

They were out of ingredients to make a dirty martini, roasted oyster app tasted like straight up salt , fish tacos were dry and waitress forgot to place one of our apps. When we asked she apologized and said it would arrive shortly then 10 minutes later asked if we still wanted it?? It was not worth the wait! It is too bad as ambience was nice.

It was a nice experience ! Food was delicious, especially the lobster roll ... just VERY decadent, but in a good way. Drinks were great, staff was super cool...would def go back

Super chill with Some unique but delicious options!

Based on other reviews, we thought we were going to be "wowed" by a great meal, but instead, our experience was just OK. We ordered the artichoke appetizer, which was delicious. However, we thought the entrees were overpriced for what we received. Particularly the Fried Chicken, which was $26 for chicken THIGHS. The biggest disappointment was the service. When we arrived, we were completely ignored by several staff members. Our server was somewhat pleasant but seemed to expect us to know how things worked there, what was available on the menu and what wasn't, and how they were accepting payments during this time. We were traveling from CT, so how would we know any of this? She spoke to us in a condescending tone and really rubbed our entire party the wrong way. Overall, the food tasted good enough, but the staff could use additional training in hospitality.

Outdoor dining (and a rain shower!) didn’t take away from the food and service — attentive staff and outstanding food! Pan con tomate, hangar steak, and their new taco vampiro were delicious. Will definitely return on our next visit to Portland!
