This review is long overdue. We were in a rush so we had to take the food to go. Aaron and his staff were great. Food was fantastic and I’m so glad that we found this spot in such a hurry. Definitely worth the money.

The fact I have never stumbled upon this place is wild. The prices are absolutely the best for the quality. I had a 10oz rib eye cooked perfectly w/Demi with mashed potatoes and asparagus for $32 it’s was absolutely the best steak I have had in I don’t know how long. Cocktails prices are great as well. My lady had the Elk burger and it was perfect. The servers were so attentive and talkative this place is seriously on of the best in the Portland. Can’t beat the prices for the quality of food you get.

Fell in love at first sight w this place. Has a lot of personality. I am guessing they had 24 Christmas stockings hanging up around the room, so let’s say it’s a very festive place too! My husband loved his lamb burger and fries w a tasty root beer. He said he woukd order it again. I loved their chicken Asian salad. It was excellent! Bartender was very skilled it seemed to me. I only drank water but the couple beside me had about eight drinks all together and the bartender was quick and focused on delivering a good drink it seemed to me!!

Went here for a quick bite while waiting for the traffic to settle, and they did not disappoint! The staff was super friendly and attentive, the service was not rushed and efficient! I got the Mac & Cheese with the sausage on the side and it was incredible.
