I'll keep it short. It had to be tough to push forward with this place in the face of crashing real estate sales, though the closure of Genoa may help. This place is extremely expensive, affordable by perhaps 2-3% of the Portland population (my family income is in the top 20%; I can't/won't afford it except on special occasion. Therefore there is room for (perhaps) one place like this. The service is impeccable and what I'd expect for the prices, however I also was asked who ordered what, and the staff missed one of the items I ordered. The decor is interesting, if somewhat overwrought; the food is good to great, but the portions are TINY.
Pros: Good food, generally good, friendly service
Cons: Very expensive, small portions, won't validate parking
