Sur Lie is a tapas-style restaurant in the heart of downtown Portland, Maine.

There’s something special about Sur Lie that sets us apart. It’s the values we have and the values we all share as a team that is transferred through to our guest. To us it’s about buying local. It’s about giving back to our community. Food and drink are a craft here, something we take very seriously and we take pride in. To us it’s more than sitting down to eat dinner. You get more than food and a couple drinks…you get an experience. To us…it’s about giving each guest an amazing experience. Every time.
