    This was the last night they were open in their old location. Nothing special. We’ll wait to see how the new location works out.

    The sauces were very watered down which lead us to believe that cream/ milk wasn’t used due to the Oct storm.

    The bread was delicious, but food portions were on the smaller side, and rather pricey. The ambiance was nice and the service was satisfactory.

    The food was great and so was the ambiance. It was a bit pricier than we expected but that won’t stop us from going back. Only suggestion would be to note on the menus if any sides come with an entree. Even though they were training some new and very young servers, the service was great and very timely

    The food was very good. The restaurant recently reopened after a short closing. Menu was not what was listed on website. Limited selections. Very short staffed. One waitress and it was only her second day. She did well due to the circumstances. Host had no personality. Don't think I would return. Too many other good restaurants in Portland.

    The food was decent. Most people enjoyed their red sauce. The service and the decor was underwhelming. Took 10 minutes to get a waitress to come to the table. Took drink orders and then took another 10 minutes to come back and forgot the wine. Orders went in and had to ask for the complimentary bread after 5 more minutes. Finally got meals and ate. Asked for bill another 5 minutes. Place has seen time fly by.

    The food was 3 1/2 stars I had to wait a long time to get my meal then they brought the wrong meal. I finished my glass of wine and it sat empty for the remainder of the meal ! I had a Caesar salad that was fresh and the bread was excellent! After sitting for a while without any attention I asked One of the bus people to bring me a carton to package by meal. After waiting for a while for my waiter with my meal packaged up he finally approached me and asked me if I wanted desert! Synopsis, the food was decent for the money and the service wasn’t! Would go back but in no hurry!!
