What People Say

Reviewers rave about the charcuterie boards, calling them “the best in Portland.” Many love the industrial-chic vibe and warm hospitality, with one guest stating it’s “like dining in a friend’s upscale European kitchen.” The cocktails and local wines earn points too, as does the seasonal menu packed with bold, comforting flavors.
