in the last weekGot super lucky and was able to get a table on walk-in! (Was 7:30pm on a Saturday). Most delicious food ever. All fresh! Farm to table! so cool you can see the chefs making it right from practically the farm and delivered right to your table! Sourdough bread was a delicious and delightful complementary course- baked right downstairs! I got the spinach & feta pie (10/10) and my mom got the braised chicken (10/10). Such good quality food. To top off the night we got a crème brûlée and scoop of malted cider ice cream. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

in the last weekA staple on our annual Portland visit. The food is solidly outstanding and service is top notch. The scallops were some of the best I have ever had, anything under the brick oven section is not to be missed. Reservation is tough to come by, but definitely worth it. Only criticism is that twice now, we have had to wait over 30min after our reservation to be seated.

in the last weekCame here with a large group, and I think we ordered 90% of the menu that day. Everything slapped, my hanger steak was one of the better steaks I've had in awhile.
