The industrial-chic space feels equally at home as a quiet morning retreat or a lively lunch spot, with bartenders who'll guide you through both their beer and beverage selections with genuine care. Whether you're settling in for a slow coffee morning or stopping by for a full meal, this Portland gem manages to excel at both coffee shop comfort and restaurant-quality food.”

Breakfast was delicious. Big portions. Service was great. Bcs it wasmorning there was nobody, so we enjoyed a lot)
Great coffee and breakfast choices in addition to lunch/dinner. I enjoy the industrial look, comfortable environment and food and drink options.
Stopped in for a lobster roll ~ it was amazing! If you’re stopping in for lunch, it’s a must. We tried a couple of different beers as well, both so good. Go with the recommendation on the beer, you won’t be disappointed. The restaurant and the area around it is has a great vibe.
I really wanted to like this place. But alas was left disappointed. Food not cooked properly. The grill lines on a filet are just the start. Not the way we expected a filet cut. Vegetables looked frozen out of a bag. Asked for a medium rare on the strip steak and got it medium well. Steaks not seasoned and rested properly (bleeding on plate). I really hoped for a better experience. The cocktails are good and worth a try.
We sat at the bar because the restaurant had reservations coming in shortly. Nice conversations with the bartender. We ordered the 33 cent prohibition cup of soup. It was very capital very good. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next day and had a cup of soup for lunch. The bartender had said that it has a different flavor taste each day because whatever's left has been used in the soup. And we found that to be true.
