Menu: Official menu publishes dinner, dessert, wine, drinks and vegan sections; item availability may change.
Occasion fit: Celebration dinner; meat- and fire-focused meal; group dinner; visitors seeking a Portland institution; lively date night.
Hours: Dinner is served daily from 5 PM to 10 PM.
Reservations: The official site directs guests through its information and booking paths. Live availability should be checked directly before visiting.
Price: The menu spans small plates, grilled vegetables, seafood, steaks, and larger shared-format dishes. Current item prices should be checked on the active menu.
Dietary: A dedicated vegan menu is published. Individual allergy accommodation and cross-contact controls require direct confirmation.
Beverage: Separate wine, drinks, and dessert menus are published.
Groups & private: Private dining is available by inquiry. The menu also supports shared plates and larger-format ordering for small groups.
Atmosphere: Energetic neighborhood dining room centered on a visible wood-fired grill and Argentine-inspired cooking through a Pacific Northwest lens.
Accessibility: Detailed physical-access route and restroom information were not stated in the reviewed first-party pages.
Parking & transit: Parking and transit details were not published on the reviewed first-party pages; confirm access for your arrival window.
Dress: No formal dress code was stated on the reviewed first-party pages.
