Extremely good! Service was fast and the food was top notch and my cocktails were decent too. Only complaint was the noise but considering how many people were there it could have been way worse. Honestly a solid 9/10 would recommend! Also try the fried cauliflower and the apple crumble, it is really tasty!

Stopped in for lunch with family and had an excellent experience. Cam was our server and he clearly knows his job. My stepson, who has many years in the restaurant business, leans over to me after Cam took our orders and says, “This guy is a professional.” My wife and I shared the turkey sandwich which was huge and delicious. Stepson had the flatbread and said it was on par. This restaurant met all of our expectations and we will come back again if we are in the area.

Food is as good or better than it looks. Service is superior. Best Scotch eggs in the world. One if my all-time favorite places to eat without breaking the bank.

A colleague recommended this restaurant. I was on business trip, alone, and this restaurant offered a nice ambiance with many people. No moment feeling bored. There was a great vibe. The chicken salad was delicious and the alcohol free cocktail tasted great. The Sunday, as desert, completed the evening. I really recommend this restaurant.

Love everything about this place! Food, drinks, bar, sports on TV and of course the people! Chris and François were my waiters and bartenders tonight. Always have good recommendations for food and drinks! Chris makes the best Old Fashion in Portland! Tuna Poke salad recommended by François was the best! Tasty, healthy, colorful and has a little 🔥 with the home made wasabi vinaigrette!
