Five Fifty-Five

Portland


This elegant, two-level restaurant serves up of-the-moment dishes like truffled lobster mac 'n' cheese and New England scallops with sunchokes, but prices are quite high – you may do better to opt for the cheaper bar menu, where steak and fries or a burger come in at around the $20 mark.
