We were looking for a nice, upscale cocktail bar, and a friend told us how great this place was, so we decided to check it out on a Sunday afternoon. The place is super cute and feels really welcoming as soon as you walk in. Elias is an awesome mixologist—super knowledgeable about the drinks and ingredients and clearly takes a lot of pride in what he does. We showed up during Happy Hour, which was a nice surprise! Definitely worth checking this place out if you’re looking for great cocktails and good vibes.

Friendly, knowledgeable bartenders and farm-to-table food. Portions can be quite small, but Taco Tuesday is an amazing deal.

This is our go to for creative and excellent food, a creative bar, and just great vibes. Chef Trever has really upped the food here, and everything is excellent. My husband and I end up sharing small plates and have loved every single dish so far. From roasted carrots to Raab salad, salmon, pork chops, desserts - all amazing! (and we don’t even like desserts!)

Island envy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - had a delicious pineapple - not overly sweet - cool and refreshing Penny royalty ⭐⭐⭐✨ - has a coppery aftertaste - refreshing though, has a lime Chupa thingy ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - good but I don't like the salt - kind of like that Mexican mango drink Spices tea old fashioned ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - really good for an old fashioned - what you'd expect but with a very slight twist Preface, for bar food, these are all 5/5 stars. Potato dumplings ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - imagine lightly fried gnocchi - with marinara sauce - wish it was a little crispier ❤️Onion rings ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - amazing onion rings - wish there were more Oxtail cheese steak ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - it was super tender - I like the cheese - there's something about it that is different from a normal cheese steak and I feel like it's the mushrooms Chicken po boy ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - had crunchy bits that were delicious - I liked the lime and cilantro taste - the chicken is super crunchy - I like the kale slaw, all the vegetables on this were perfect - unsure if I would order again over the cheese steak. I think maybe because the chicken was too salty for my liking? Vintage burger ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - what you'd expect - double stacked - juicy and delicious Pork shoulder ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - the salad was good - smoked taste - crispy Brutus salad ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - the chicken was so juicy and amazing - basically a ceasar salar - can actually taste the anchovies in a not fishy way - kale was definitely massaged Poutine ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - the gravy is on the bottom - not cheese curds, not sure if this is poutine tbh Smoked rockfish cheese dip ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - it hits - it's not overly cheesey - I wish there were more tortilla chips

HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST Philly’s I’ve ever tried. It’s not a traditional one at all. Dope cute little hole in the wall with a full bar. Dope dinner and date vibes. The god damn oxtail and brisket Philly had me smiling all the way home. Must try this place in Portland!
