Enjoyed wine and dinner. Tried the 3 red wines (Loire, French Gamay Noir, OR Gamay Noir) and enjoyed the option for 1/2 glasses of wine. The beet salad was fantastic, so much flavor. The brussel sprouts were also good. The trout was fabulous, and the pork chop was moist and delicious. We sat at the bar. Atmosphere and service were great. Will be back!

We stopped because we were picking up our in-laws from the airport, and I wanted to have a good meal if I was coming all the way from Eugene. What I didn't expect was to have one of the best meals of my life! The atmosphere was lovely, though the music was a little loud. Our server was nice and knowledgeable of the menu, and the food was out of this world phenomenal. Everything we got was treated simply and with love. The warm olives were soft and fruity, the Focaccia had a beautiful crust with a delightful soft spongy crumb, the sprouted broccoli had a bold char flavor, and the squid ink pasta was the best pasta I have ever had. The pasta had a wonderful chew, the shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the broth was a deft balance of unctuous fat, slight heat from the Calabrian chiles, and well-rounded tomato flavor. For dessert we had the ricotta doughnuts which were tender, peppery, and served with a bright lemon curd. I would gladly go here time an time again. It far exceeded my expectations for a good meal after terrible Portland traffic, and made navigating the insane Thanksgiving traffic more than worth it! If you have a chance to go here DO IT! What are you waiting for? GO NOW! The owners, chefs, and staff truly have something special here and I hope they continue this great work of love as long as it brings them joy.

Party of 6 for wife’s 40th bday dinner - We all LOVED the food! Summary/Highlights: all the pastas were amazing but the squid ink was our least favorite, for apps we all loved the salad & focaccia. Entrees: the Trout was the best trout I’ve had in my life. Full Review: We made a reservation with the RESY app and were seated in the back room where we shared a table with two seatings. It was plenty big though and was at least one chair between groups so we weren’t exactly next to each other. All of us on one end. I ordered two bottles of sparkling Rose to start for the group along with with every appetizer except the soup. Olives were just olives and are tasty but I could skip that next time. Focaccia was amazing and so were both salads. We shared everything family style. We all enjoyed the pastas so much. So light and fresh, seriously so good. We got every pasta dish. The Cacio e pepe was good, the raviolis were so good, and the butternut one AMAZING. The squid ink wasn’t bad but it was very soupy:lots of broth with a lemon flavor and the squid ink flavor is kind of lost. The trout was also a crowd favorite and I really believe the best I’ve ever had anywhere hands down. We also got the pork chop which was tasty but maybe we were all too full by this point to say it was amazing. Desserts also good. Highly recommend this restaurant and staff. We really had a great experience. Too busy and didn’t take photos.

Everything was amazing!! Extremely rare that a vegetable side is my favorite dish, but I can’t stop thinking about how well-balanced and textured the broccoli was. Our server was great and was very patient with us, as we had a 1 yr old. Been wanting to try this place for a while and it definitely didn’t disappoint! Will be back to here and other locations :) Thank you for a lovely night

Made reservations weeks in advance to come eat at this fabulous establishment! The lady behind the bar, Tanzy(sp?), was fabulous. She made great recommendations for food and fabulous drinks. There were 3 of us, and we shared everything. We grabbed some apps and 1 of each of the main dishes. It was more than enough food to share for the 3 of us. I can't find my picture of the carbonara or the tuna, so we had everything pictured plus 2 more items. We also had to get double on the focaccia bread. That was warm and amazing. This place was as advertised! Definitely male reservations before you go. Even grabbed a couple items to go, as a friend we had was unable to join us! Chef Patrick was nailing it from the 3 point line with this menu, from a fellow Blazer fan to another. Well done!

[update upon 5/7/2022 visit] Still perfect. We tried different menus this time and yet were surprised again. Even donuts were just came out of the oil and awesome. 5/5 period. None of servers was in tux, yet the service was top-notch--Used plates were replaced, bread crumbs were cleared. We had a truffle-stuffed triangoli and a squid pasta. We've seen restaurants used truffle salt or truffle oil for the flavor, but this place uses actual minced-truffle. What a nice surprise. The squid pasta was just amazing. I almost used an f word in my first bite. Pasta itself was awesome too, but the base soup of the squid pasta was better than famous cioppino from Sotto Mare in SF. Overall, the pastas was comparable or better than Rosmarino. As for the dessert, chocolate mousse was great, but the cannoli sundae outshined. Another wow ice cream since Bos Taurus in Bend. Will definitely revisit and try all items in the menu.
