Our dinner tonight at Helms was excellent in every way. The martinis were perfection, the wait staff was en pointe and the... cuisine was of very high standard. The hen.of.the woods starter was the best treatment of those delectable mushrooms I've everhad. All.3 desserts were amazing! Yes, we shared! We hope to.return.soon! Read more

Had a great time at Helm. Inside the atmosphere is upscale but not stuffy, and service while to the point was congenial and... quick. The oysters, as one would hope, were delicious and the other shellfish we ordered like scallops on the half shell andlobster were solid. I will say the drinks didn't particularly impress me, but they were certainly good. I can't say I loved themain entree we were recommended to order by our waiter, but it was definitely unique and not bad by any measure, just not mypreference. Overall Helm was a great seafood spot, albeit for the price I'd expect a little more. Read more

Highly recommend! We were in the Portland area for the first time and found this place on our walk by the waterfront. They were... able to accommodate us for dinner very last minute on a busy holiday weekend. These were some of the best oysters I?ve ever hadand the muscles were a huge hit! Can?t forget the delicious, incredibly fresh lobster either! We had a lovely waiter, Caleb, whotruly made our experience. A must visit if you?re on the hunt for fresh Maine sea fare! Read more
