This event includes a book signing and a roast lamb dinner inspired by Hamilton’s book. All-inclusive tickets are $120 per person; reservations can be made by calling the restaurant at 207-828-4422.

We just went to Portland a couple weekends ago for our anniversary and a place for foodies is right! We at the Farmer’s Table for brunch and it was awesome! The sweet potato hash was delish! We also went to Cinque Terre for dinner and Street & Co for dessert and wine… both amazing places worth checking out if ever in Portland, Maine!
