Very rude owner always drinking in the bar. Â He started a fight with a patron who complained his food was over cooked one night. Â He is a short little man with a bad attitude. Â thinks himself to be above everyone because he owns the place. Â My whole group got up and left afterwards. Â Â Mens room exposes anyone at the urinal to the whole bar. Â Food is iffy at best. Â
I Would recommend to just drive past this dump anytime you are hungry.
Have taken wife there for dinner three times in the last ~2 months. Always went on a weekday and ate in the downstairs bar - apparently upstairs dining room is only open on weekends. Â
It's very definitely a neighborhood hangout but the patrons are friendly, as is the service. Downstairs bar has tables for four and is a bit noisy (brick interior) but not too bad. Menu prices are very reasonable but I can only comment on two of the dishes. Every time we go there my wife and I both have the calvadeiros (Portuguese seafood stew) which is excellent. It comes in an individual metal pot with a generous quantity of seafood in a spicy tomato broth. In fact it's so darn good we have yet to try anything else. Â
On our last visit we took along our daughter, who ordered the fisherman's platter. She said it was very good and cleaned her plate. Dinner for the three of us including a beer, tax and tip was less than $50. Â
Getting there is a little tricky, since Central St. is a one-way into the main drag. If you're heading north on Gorham turn right onto Union St (2nd street past the courthouse) - go to the end and turn left onto Central. Four Seasons is a block and a half ahead on your left. The atmosphere might not be upper crust but the food is good, plentiful and cheap.
I am really surprised by the reviews here saying the food is good, but the atmosphere is terrible. I found the exact opposite. I liked the local feel. It was crowded on a Friday night. Everyone at the bar having a great time.
After we sat down, it took awhile to get a beer. We both ordered from the specials, my husband ordered the sirloin, med rare, FF and rice, I ordered the shrimp and scallop scampi. We should have known we were in trouble as soon as the "bread" was put in front of us, day old, cold Fantini bulkie rolls!
They brought our dinner, and it looked as bad as it tasted. My husbands steak was gray, with some charcoal marks on it, cooked medium well, no flavor, no seasonings, tough, better steak comes in a Dunkin Donuts breakfast sandwich!
French fries were potato slices that were attempted to be fried, but they were a pile of greasy, limp, potatoes.
My "scampi" was actually an alfredo. Scampi to me is a garlic,butter white wine sauce. They put a congealed, heavy cheese sauce on a mound of pasta with three little shrimp and three scallops. At least the seafood was edible.
It looked like if you were a regular, then you got good service from the waitstaff, otherwise, they paid no attention to you.
This place looks like a decent local place for drinks, maybe their burgers are better, but the actual dinner entree's were disgusting!
