Bid on this $100 gift certificate to be used at any of The Rooms by Chef Harding Lee Smith in Portland, Maine. 

Dedicated to offering classic food made with quality local ingredients at moderate prices, Chef Smith opened The Front Room Restaurant & Bar in late 2005 in Portland’s hip and scenic Munjoy Hill neighborhood, steps from Casco Bay at 73 Congress Street. The Front Room, recently featured in a story on Munjoy Hill in theWashington Post, continues to garner enthusiastic acclaim from regional and local press, and was recognized by the Portland Phoenix as the city’s Best New Restaurant of 2006.

Smith’s second restaurant, The Grill Room & Bar, immediately became a popular lunch and dinner spot and has been packed since opening in May 2008. Located at 84 Exchange Street in Portland’s historic Old Port district, the “urban steakhouse” features a wood-fired grill and pizza oven that turns out boldly flavored steaks and crisp pizzas from the open kitchen, featuring local, all-natural meats from Wolfe’s Neck Farm in Freeport. The Portland Phoenix named The Grill Room the city’s Best New Restaurant of 2008.

Chef Smith opened his third establishment, The Corner Room Kitchen & Bar, in early July 2009. The restaurant is located in the space formerly occupied by the Salt Institute at the intersection of Federal and Exchange streets in Portland’s Old Port (110 Exchange Street). With the same comfortable rustic ambiance as the first two Rooms, The Corner Room features fresh housemade pastas, antipasti and artisanal breads – affordable rustic Italian-inspired food at its best.
