The Hottest New Restaurants and Food Carts in Portland, February 2025
"At this restaurant, opened in August, chef Joey Gibson uses wines selected by sommelier wife Stacey as reference points to create dishes like dirty rice arancini and hush puppies served with luxurious uni butter. Although small plate and wine pairings — a creamy, rich seafood cannelloni and a medium-bodied Italian friulano among them — anchor the menu, the rest of the bar and kitchen’s offerings are no afterthought. Cheese plates are constructed with a balanced trio of cow, goat, and sheep’s cheese from Cowbell and Stumptown cold brew espresso martinis come with an optional dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano." - Paolo Bicchieri
