Everything was wonderful except our server. The server neglected us, although his colleagues helped us out. in the end I just poured the wine myself. The food was delicious.

We really enjoyed our experience at BRUTØ. The food was excellent, with the corn and uni dish as one of the best bites we have ever had. We also appreciated the gesture of a small glass of champagne to celebrate a special occasion. I really like the intimate atmosphere of the restaurant as well. Most of the staff were great. There was one staff member, however, who was rather distant; he was beyond robotic in his delivery, curt, and refusing to make eye contact. Maybe he had an offday, but it wasn't the kind of hospitality we expected — or have ever encountered — at this level.

5:15 reservation, arrived early, warm greeting, and seated immediately for our anniversary dinner. Our server (I think her name was Meghan) was warm, upbeat, and attentive thru the evening (she made our experience so memorable). She served us a surprise sparkling wine to start our anniversary. We had 2 great cocktails (Inzhir&Charkali Sour). We were told to put in our entire order & they would arrange for the timing to our table (perfection). Started with Pickle & Things (who thought pickled watermelon could be so good), Chicory Salat (blend of great texture & flavors), Sour Cherry Varaniki (exquisite), & Sturgeon Ukha for our main (so comforting). Finished with the cookies & 3 vodka infusions for fun. Great environment, people, & value given the high marks for the food. Would make this a sure stop on our next visit to Portland.
