- RRickvipDetroit / Eastern Michigan •56 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWhat a nice surprise first visit. Charming, clean and classy restaurant vibe. Terrific knowledgeable service that helped us with our choices of drinks and food. Small plates but we left satiated. The avocado salsa macha with crispy corn tostada was delicious, but the flanked beef ribs with mole were over the top. Wasn't completely sold on the dessert which consisted of outstanding ice cream but a less than overwhelming rye bread something to eat with it, otherwise the food would have been 5 stars for sure. Lesson learned. We will definitely return.More infoREGARDSPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Portland•4.6
