The 3-course meals were fabulous. The flavors of the food were intricate and meshed well with one another. However, it took about 30 minutes for the first plate of food to get to our table. While we know that the preparation of food takes awhile, it would’ve been nice to receive them in a timely manner. The explanation of the food was a bit rushed,but overall, it was good experience. It’s pricey, but well worth it if there’s a special occasion.

The service was incredible, the attention to detail and sincere care of the staff was unmatched. Every single plate we had was delicious. The cocktail menu was so incredibly creative and made it impossible to choose. My wife and I now have a new favorite spot in Portland and can’t wait to go back.

Tried a multitude of things, all delicious. That nap burger has no business being as good as it is. I would definitely come back to try more of the menu. Exquisite flavors.

What a wonderful experience! From the moment we walked in we were greeted with enthusiasm and excitement. The food was delicious and the ambiance of the restaurant made it even better. Our server Noriko was just the absolute sweetest. She was so caring and passionate about giving us the opportunity to enjoy everything.
