Eleven Madison Park and Per Se alums will open Twelve in Portland over Memorial Day weekend
Coming soon: Portland, Maine, gets a dose of Manhattan when alums from world-famous New York City restaurants Eleven Madison Park and Per Se team up to open Twelve (120 Thames St.) over Memorial Day Weekend.
Eleven Madison Park was named the world’s best restaurant in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants rankings in 2017. Per Se, Thomas Keller’s New York flagship, has three Michelin stars. Former EMP executive sous chef Colin Wyatt and Per Se general manager Daniel Gorlas will open the New American restaurant, with about 100 seats indoors and outside.
It’s the latest from Portland’s Prentice Hospitality Group, which owns and operates Evo Kitchen + Bar, Chebeague Island Inn, and Fore Points Marina Bar.
