    Gorgeous view! Loved watching the sunset admiring the lovely Portland skyline. Food was innovative and so delicious! Drinks were tasty too. Our server Jesse was amazing with knowledge of the menu and suggestions to try. While we were leaving, my husband and I stumbled onto the Patio. Oh my! We will request to be seated here next time. It is open to the elements but heated and a glorious view of the city.

    Great view from our window table. Terrific meal and drinks, served well by a fine young lady who pointed out that -- not knowing how to eat my King crab legs -- I was leaving half of the meat of a dish that was costing me $130! She swiftly took it to the kitchen to have the meat removed from the shells so that I had a wonderful meal (with butter too) at home the next day. Bless her heart! It was a delightful way to celebrate a big birthday event (my 86th).

    Each dish on the menu was unique and delicious, prepared with great care and creative presentation. We especially loved the dessert courses. Highly recommend the s’mores as a dish for two to share… it was a whole experience with a surprise at the end.
