"This is a Woodstock neighborhood gem with a lot of locals dining there. There is familiarity between staff and local patrons which isn 't the best for 'outsiders '. The restaurant has great potential to be one of the best in Portland. I have no doubtthe chef is doing a superb job because the food tasted delicious and was presented well. I am not a food critic, and feeltastes are subjective so I will not review the food any further. Our disappointment was about the service and overallrestaurant effort given the high prices for a non-downtown restaurant. Paper napkins for a $200 meal for two? Really? We choseto sit outside not knowing the layout of the outdoor space because it was a lovely warm day. We were definitely ignoredthroughout our wine pairing, 3-course meal until another table was seated outside towards the end of our meal. We waited about20 minutes for our dessert to show up. We don 't mind 'slow dining ', in fact we prefer it, but there is a huge difference betweenbeing ignored and a deliberate slow dining experience. Nobody checked on us throughout our meal, and plate collection was veryslow as well as forgotten paired wine with our entree. : The obvious let down is the very busy and very loud street, but weweren 't expecting apartment occupants above the restaurant to be so loud and obnoxious as well. Not sure how either of thoseconditions would be remedied other than sitting inside. I am not sure if we would go back given the expense and our first timemediocre experience.????"
