Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Great for brunch

Chef Gabriel Pascuzzi's flag ship restaurant featuring a one of a kind wood fire grill. Guests watch as the cooks tame the fires and cook everything over live coals; imparting amazing flavor experiences. Perfect for parties of all sizes, family friendly, and great for dinners with dietary restrictions! Originally opened as a chicken and vegetable counter service model pre pandemic, Chef pivoted to a more formal sit down experience to truly capture the amazing flavors coming from the grill and matching the ambiance. Featured as Portland's 50best from Portland Monthly for 3 years straight until 2024, looking to be re-reviewed and once again taking its place on the list!

Was disappointed overall. We ordered the Steak A Poive. It was not prepared as we requested. The sauce was very bland. We ordered the Bananas Foster. It was ehh. The pound cake was very dry with little flavor. The Apple Crisp was delicious.

We were almost an hour early and they were able to seat us. The service was excellent and the food was incredible. My burger was a little under done, but still very good. The corn bread was better than expected.

Excellent service from front door to dessert. Highly recommended. Papa Beef pop up. Incredible beet salad and deliciously seasoned filet were the highlights from an all-around great meal
