Portland has no shortage of great spots to meet someone for the first time or the hundredth, but if you’re looking to dazzle a date or a business client, then hop in the elevator at the Eastland Park Hotel and let the best view in town make a good impression for you. Park yourself in one of the comfy brown leather couches and take in the view of Casco Bay and even Mount Washington (on a clear day) as you sip a martini or, perhaps more appropriate to the lofty location, something served in a highball glass. 157 High St., Portland, 207-775-5411, www.eastlandparkhotel.com
