Indulge yourself in a memorable dining experience. The winner of this auction item will receive a $150 gift certificate to Fore Street, located one block from the waterfront in Portland's Old Port District.  

Fore Street's interior surrounds a unique brick and soapstone hearth consisting of a wood-burning oven, grill, and turnspit, visible from most tables. Hardwood and apple wood fires cook and flavor the seafood, meats, game, and vegetables 
that have made Fore Street a New England destination.

In 2002, Fore Street was named Number 16 in Gourmet Magazine's Top Fifty Restaurants of the United States. In 2004, Chef-partner Sam Hayward was named Best Chef: Northeast by the James Beard Foundation and the restaurant is nominated for Best Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation this year as well (winners will be announced in May).
