Restaurants throughout the state offer tons of specialties that match the season. We love just how many milkshakes we can slurp our way through each summer, for example! And let’s not forget the incredible seafood options you’ll bump into on any car ride up and down the coast. But what’s on offer for the winter? Apparently, it’s hot chocolate and this spot in Portland offers some of the best!

The Yard in Portland is a relatively new addition to the bar and restaurant scene, but its hoppin' live music and great ambiance have made it a go-to option for people looking to have a good time.

And it's the awesome food that has people leaving full and satisfied. The menu feels like a cross between a pub and a country spot, complete with burgers and tacos.

Inside, things feel a bit rustic and it's that rustic feeling that allows patrons to feel at home.

But we might just love their desserts the most! The Reese’s S’mores option is a fun take on camping.
