290 slayed it for Valentine's Day! Amazing salmon, beef, scallops (pickled red onions were a magnificent touch), dim sum tacos, and stuffed bread balls... I forget the proper names hahaha but their staff is always friendly and their specials are ALWAYS 100% awesome. Comfortable outdoor seating seasonally and a huge variety of 290 apparel... they even make their own cocktail-themed candles now! Ryan and Pete have done something great here and I love to watch it progress. My favorite place in the Oxford Hills area.

We went today for our first time. Great food and great beer selection. Kim our server was the best. Got to meet the owner Ryan who was very happy to stop and have conversation with us. Ryan is a local and contributes to the community whenever he can which I think is awesome.

I went with my mother for lunch. It was clean. We were met quickly to be seated. The Reuben and homemade french fries that we ordered were very very good, but at 18 for a sandwich. Ummm a bit much. And we needed to park in a nearby business parking lot.

Ate here for the 1st time before our trip to the casino with friends & I have to say we were all happy & full when we left !! I had the chicken tenders w/ onion rings & coleslaw , my hubby had the 290 dip & raved about how delicious it was , my friends had burgers - 1 of them had the beyond burger & loved it & the other friend had a regular burger & was very happy ! All the food was awesome , the server was friendly & prompt & the drinks were great !! We will definitely be back next time we are in the area & I'd definitely recommend a visit to everyone I know !!
