This is a must-stop for visitors to Portland. The food was fantastic! So many flavors and variety across the board. Do not miss out on the plantains, octopus, and bone marrow, but my review would not change even if I had not had any of those items.

Absolutely wonderful food! We had the asparagus, crepe, duck confit, and orange cake. Every item was prepared carefully and was extremely fresh and flavorful. Wine list is good, though prices by the glass seemed quite high.

Excellent food-we had catfish, chicken, ettoufe-with great sides-especially the mac and cheese-coleslaw-cornbread-mushrooms. Service excellent. Space is too noisy and restrooms needed attention.
