| - I like this place a lot. Been a couple times for a drink or two. Decent and different beer selection. I've tried a cocktail, thought it was good. I like their glassware and unique ingredients. Definitely could learn a thing or two drinking here.
The ambience is what really sells this place. Love the feel and openness of it. Right on the NW corner of Portland and Central. With the floor to ceiling windows open it is easy to just sit and chill.at this bar. Art gallery/hotel/bar/restaurant. Super into it. Everything is new so it looks very clean. Sets a fantastic foundation for some truly good f+b.
Ate for the first time today. 'Mid-day' menu. Had the Calabrese pizza and a side of the pork belly green beans. Green beans were out first. Being super hungry, I started inhaling those suckers. Very good, but I will say this: for 6-7 dollars I could have dealt with less beans more pork belly, but hey, it was good so no complaints really.
The pizza was also really good. Some fresh tasting ingredients. Portion was great. Honestly, could've split the green beans and pizza with my girl. Only critique would be it was pretty salty. I thought this while shoving it into my face and thought "it's pizza dude. It probably should be a salty, greasy, mess." Nonetheless, I offer my take: The (pickled?) peppers were pretty salty (along with all the other great flavors they leant), and on top of pepperoni and cheese... I just wonder if the cook added unnecessary salt, or if it's just the ingredients and I'm a loser. The flavors were great, it was salty and greasy, but it's pizza, right?
I like this spot. It's close by and mellow. One of my new favorite spots. Will be back.
