Critical risks

  1. Review window has lapsed

    Last first-party review 2026-08-05; window closed 2026-08-12.

    → Re-read the official pages before using this record for a decision.

Watch items

  1. Official sources conflict — both claims preserved

    Retain each source, date and field conflict; do not select the more favorable statement without evidence.

    → Call (971) 489-2202 and ask the conflicted field as a direct question. Keep both recorded claims visible until sources converge; do not adopt the friendlier one.

Residual unknowns — carried forward, not resolved

  1. Booking is competitive; your lead time is unstated

    Reservations are released monthly through Resy. Limited walk-in seating may be available. Party-size changes and late cancellations can trigger per-person charges. Commitment terms from the restaurant's own pages: A six-course tasting menu was offered -- complete with wine, beer, or zero-proof pairings.

    → Add a date to the situation console to rank this record honestly.

  2. Dietary handling requires direct confirmation

    The entire menu is published as gluten- and dairy-free. A vegan menu is available on request, but alliums, capsaicin, and cilantro cannot be removed from much of the menu.

    → Confirm before inviting anyone with a restriction.

  3. Access honesty marker: route unstated

    Detailed physical-access route and restroom information were not stated in the reviewed first-party pages.

    → Ask only if a guest needs it; the record does not claim accessibility either way.

  4. Live availability

    Recorded as unknown at the last first-party review; not inferred, not filled.

    → Carry into the confirmation call if it bears on your night.

  5. Detailed physical-access route and restroom configuration

    Recorded as unknown at the last first-party review; not inferred, not filled.

    → Carry into the confirmation call if it bears on your night.

  6. Suitability for restrictions beyond the published accommodations

    Recorded as unknown at the last first-party review; not inferred, not filled.

    → Carry into the confirmation call if it bears on your night.

Price

Parking / transit

Dress

Group
Family-style sharing works well for small groups; party size is tightly tied to the booked table and cannot simply be expanded. Seating evidence from the restaurant's own pages: Our private dining room upstairs above kann ’s main restaurant can accommodate groups of up to 36 guests.
Meal length
Shared-plate dinner typically runs about two hours once seated.
