Amazing!! But if you don't have a reservation at this joint ....might be a forever wait! But you can always call and see if there are any last minute cancellations. The bar also accommodates diners on a first come first served basis. The salads are the star here, in my opinion. And that says something! great atmosphere, knowledgeable service and amazing cuisine are the reason this place is at the top of Portlands dining scene. Can be a bit on the loud end so be prepared.

Great little hole in the wall to catch a beverage before or after dinner. While they do have food here I might say the beverages are the main attraction. The setting is light and bright on the main floor with a subterranean knotty pine mecca that the King would be proud of. Horseshoe bar and no windows make this seem a little vegas of long ago
