Very nice place for a business lunch. Clam chowder was unique with clams in the shell on top of a light chowder. Very good. A bit noisy.

The food, the people, the drinks, you can’t go wrong. Your dining experience can be adventurous or safe with lots of well known options and maybe something you’ve never tried before, but it’s all made with love and care. You feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door and are taken care of right up until you leave. One of my favorite restaurants in Portland.
