The eclectic menu is described as "New West drinking food. Expect blood orange and miso with your Brussels sprouts, foie gras on your poutine, and wasabi leaves and corn nuts atop salmon carpaccio. Read more

The rotating cocktail menu is exquisite. Don't forget to order the Cumin Carrots and Bao!

The food was AMAZING! Not what I expected. Small plates, and some were definitely smaller than others, but everything was delish. One recommendation: The place was insanely loud. Sound Dampeners?!

You can't go wrong here. The Manhattan with salted caramel bitters is a great way to start.

At this unofficial home of PDX bar food, the chicken meatball skewer is the thing to get.

Everything is good. You may spend 300$ on 7 dishes, but you'll be happy about it.

The plates are small and designed for sharing. The only dish I wouldn't order again was the pork belly, which was tasty but a little too sticky.
