Everything was delicious and well paired, for example the gravy really enhanced the fried chicken rather than overpowering it or making it soggy. Mac and cheese was just the right richness and texture. Cocktail was very tasty. Presentation of everything was thoughtful. Generous portions. I was super impressed with the quality, especially for a casual come-as-you-are restaurant. Would definitely come back if we lived in Portland!

We were lucky that the staff was able to accommodate us being late because of traffic. (15 minutes) We travel down from Seattle to see a show at 7:30 and sis their theater menu as stated we seat down at 6:17 and walked out at 7:17 with feeling of full but not uncomfortable full. Made our show on time.
