It was two or three years since I had been to Enio`s on Cottage St. in South Portland. The small Italian restaurant with a rustic feel offers food created with their own flair and and a relatively extensive beer and wine list. After a long week of work, a restaurant close to home sounded perfect and we made a last minute reservation.

When we arrived for dinner, the restaurant was almost empty. I assumed that meant we would be on the receiving end of really good service. We were immediately seated at a table that indicated it was reserved. We had three menus to review – food, drinks, and specials.
