We recently came here for lunch as it was a new place for the both of us. I remember it being completely different before. The space is nice and feels inviting. There is a small shop in the front for you to buy little snacks. I had the Italian sandwich, and my friend had the chicken pot pie. We also got some fries to share. The sandwich was nice and simple. I think the Calabrian chile aoli gave it that extra flavor. The fries were pretty good, and I would recommend ordering it.

Bright room with huge windows on a beautiful corner. The decor and the menu reminded me of Paris. We had gorgeous oysters from British Columbia, Ken’s Arrisan bread service, and house made pickled veggies providing a crisp flavor finish. Highly recommended!

Been here three times and just can’t see myself coming back again. First time the staff was super rude and turned away our large group because they refused to push tables together even though there was open seating everywhere, second time food and service was good but the clams were sandy as hell, and now Google says they’re open but they are on vacation and didn’t bother to update their hours online so we just wasted an hour of our time driving here. Come on!

Oh, this place is so cute and sweet. Finely curated little market in addition to a lovely bar and beautifully crafted, fresh dishes. The service was excellent. Friendly and attentive staff. Definitely recommend this as a special spot for foodies.

Stopped in recently for a burger and cab franc and both were delightful. Had previously enjoyed old pal but was reminded of why this place is so good.

Don’t question where to go, just come here. I can’t understand why this place isn’t slammed busy every night. Incredible esthetic, delicious plates with such fresh shellfish/ingredients. Staff is always so friendly and welcoming. A gem in Portland.

I love this place. We have been several times. The cocktails are always excellent. The food rotates seasonally and has always been great as well. Service has been friendly and helpful

Oysters and salad were delicious. The orange wine by the glass is the best orange wine I've had.

Came for dinner / happy hour. The Friday night fish fry here is delightful. Very crispy tasty fish, and the sauce paired with it is perfect. The oysters were divine, super fresh. The drinks were good. Fries weren’t very crisp and maybe could have been cooked a bit more. Good flavor though. The staff here were so nice and attentive, quick service, and I like the clean vibe of the restaurant.

We dined here on a Friday night with friends to celebrate our anniversary. As a non-drinker, I enjoyed the mocktail options and my partner had an IPA. Appetizers were tasty—although the butter that came with the bread was Incredibly salty. I tried the celery and olive salad. It was…odd. It had a lemon vinaigrette which overpowered the other flavors. My partner had the burger (the server never asked him how he wanted it cooked) and it was WELL done. Our friends had pasta which they enjoyed. We enjoyed the atmosphere. But for the cost of our meal, likely won’t return. We wish they had more options for people with food allergies.
