The Front Room is a quintessential neighborhood eatery with a loud bustling crowd and simple food with rich flavors. It has an open kitchen and cozy bar, giving it a signature look. Unlike other Rooms, The Front Room does not accept reservations and operates on a first-come, first-serve basis. Chef Harding Lee Smith, a Mainer by birth, started The Front Room as his first restaurant in Maine after gaining experience in Venice, Italy, and Maui, Hawaii. The restaurant offers New American Comfort Food and attracts Mainers with its affordable brunch and dinner menu. With classic wooden Hancock chairs adorning each table, The Front Room provides a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. It is located in Portland, Maine and is part of the Rooms restaurant family owned by Chef Harding Lee Smith.
