Food was excellent! Loved the ambiance. We picked the restaurant because of the covid precautions and were thrilled with our meal.

Visiting Portland. The menu (which changes daily) was inaccurate. The service was rushed. The food was um - not good. Odd flavors across the board, food and drinks. Seems like the chef was trying too hard to be creative.

good brunch outside! our whole table got shakshuka, which wasn't as tomato-y and saucy as i'm used to, more onions/yellow peppers. potatoes were good, bloody marys were good.

I had a splendid birthday meal at Little Giant! The presentation of the food was beautiful - not to mention the flavor! Everything from the beets, to the scallops, to the steak melted in your mouth. They also had a fun and diverse wine selection that gave me a little bit of decision paralysis. Thankfully our friendly waitress and the knowledgeable bartender helped us decide. I will hopefully be coming back soon for the next special occasion!!

The drinks were unique and extremely tasty. We had several and I don't recall the names. One was a tequila old fashioned and the other was deliciously spicy. We had the scallop ceviche and crab with black rice and lemongrass. Delightful. The staff was very helpful and kind. The only downside was there was a very loud table of eight and the sound voiced everywhere. It made it hard to have a quiet conversation at times.

Really enjoyed our meal. The sour dough bread with a side of olive oil, balsamic and garlic appetizer was just okay, while the beet salad appetizer was very good. The oil poached halibut over a buttermilk sauce was delicious.

Wonderful to have such a lovely place open during covid with all safety precautions in place. Loved that we felt comfortable. Ambiance is awesome. The neighborhood feel of the place was so cool considering most good food in Portland is surrounded by tons of tourists and impossible parking. The food exceeded expectations. Absolutely everything we ate was beyond our expectations. Can't speak highly enough about our food experience. We are low carb and there was almost nothing on the menu that we couldn't eat (other than the bread:) I almost never write reviews. I wanted to be sure I did today because this place is certainly little but it's culinary experience is giant ?

We really loved some items (e.g., the beets, the tomatoes, the green salad) and the service was great. A few items weren't amazing (the black rice, the grilled prawn), but were still interesting. The music was too loud and house-y, though. It put a big damper on our experience. Some mellow jazz would have been great! Mostly, we were happy about the vaccine requirement and wanted to support, but I don't think we'll be back anytime soon when there are so many great choices in Portland.

Pre-covid menus were more extensive. The brunch menu is limited, no substitutions. I would have preferred a lunch menu with more choices. Having said that, I enjoyed my lobster egg sandwich and bloody mary.

Outstanding food, unusual and delicious cocktails, setting, aesthetic and ambience makes me want all my foodie friends to enjoy the great experience this was. Wish I could dine here on a regular basis. A real treat.

Eclectic restaurant with interesting and delicious food and great service. We got reservations there because of the restaurants by the water we’re all booked and we’re glad we went there. We enjoyed scallop chervicie and barbecued outstretched. We enjoyed the Signature dish me with black rice and a unique and tender halibut prepared so that the dish complimented the subtle taste of halibut.

We had so much fun! Everyone was so nice from the host to the manager. We had a big group and they were super accommodating. Will definitely be back for any occasion or just date night!
