Superb food,

We just moved to Portland and had a long day of unpacking. We were looking for a place that was open late on a Sunday(10pm-ish). This place fit the bill, we were greeted by the co-owner (Nancy). She ended up being our waitress as it was a surprisingly slow night. However, we have returned several times to find this place with a small wait.

The food was superb. Hands down the best mussels we have had to date (9 out of 10 times, I will order mussels if on a menu). The pork chops are tender and flavorful and the warm olives hit the spot on a chilly evening. I will spare us all a little time raving about the the rest of the amazing eats and ambiance at this place. My advice is.. make sure this is on your "Great food & beverages that I/we must enjoy while in Portland" list.

A few comments on previous reviews. We have never experienced an extra bread charge. We have been offered bread on several occasions and never noticed additional charges on our. However, we do typically order appetizers, dinner entrées and drinks. Typically, turning down dessert indicates the conclusion of a meal. At that time, I find it customary to inform the waiter of additional interests, perhaps in lieu of dessert perhaps we will have another glance at the wine menu.
