Great food

Sonia Cook

We ordered a cheeseburger which was delicious. Tomatoe bisque soup was really great and creamy with a bread stick included. The taco salad wasn't too bad but didnt love that the shell was more flour than a crunchy shell so that would be a suggestion. Great service. Carlee was our waitress and she was wonderful and so very helpful!

Took along time for someone to wait on us, but once she did, she was great. Food was really good! Bang Bang Shrimp highly recommended!

Pleasant wait staff and good food.

Dave Jones

Lunch and wine. We even bumped into a wonderful couple that we hadn't seen since retirement!

Very good food and service! We ordered a 14" deep dish pizza, and didn't have to wait long at all for the pizza! The price was very reasonable, coming in on the lower side compared to similar style restaurants.

The hostess was adorable, welcoming and well-spoken. The servers were friendly, prompt and attentive. The food, pizza in this case, was perfectly prepared and served in a timely manner. The building has a well designed layout to facilitate service, host a variety of seating options and offer an enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely return whenever I visit Portland, again!

By far the best pizza I've ever had. Most importantly our hosts Chelsea was hospitable friendly and always smiling. I travel a lot and the service she provided was exceptional and hard to find these days.

I am from ATL. Came to portland to fish with some old friends. What a little gem to find! The service here was so friendly! Had the time of my life..alone...at the bar. Jenny and the other tender made me feel welcome. We all had a blast! Food was priced right and delicious. Thank you all for a great time!

Man, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had in a while. I've been in the service industry for most of my adult life and I HAAATE to leave a bad review, but come ON.

The nachos were real mid, very little in the way of veg. I asked for a side of lettuce so there was some kind of relief from the heavy greasy meat and cheese. I got a little ramekin full, lol. The spicy Italian beef, in my partner's words, "the only people who'd call it spicy probably also think ketchup has a lil zing to it." I thought it was friggin delicious, though. Enviable compared to the world's most mediocre nachos?

The wine I ordered was undrinkable toilet water, but I picked it, so caveat emptor, I guess. I literally took one drink and pushed it aside. The water tasted real funky too, like kinda salty? Hard water, I'm guessing. I'd have had some of my partner's tea, but he never got a refill despite finishing it like 20 minutes in. I left thirsty as hell.

And, not to tell tales outta school or nothin, but I've been home for about half an hour and I've got to wishin' this commode had a seatbelt. Woof.
