Warehouse Bistro


Tucked away down a hidden alley sits a new cherry-red bistro; reflections from its red patent leather ceiling send an inviting, warm glow across the cobblestones outside. Elizabeth is the newest addition to Portland, Maine's gourmet restaurant scene. Pink terrazzo, plum-colored leather, and gleaming nickel have recently been incorporated into the mellowed red brick and heavy timber interior of what was once a 19th-century dockyard warehouse.
