You can absolutely smell the fish and vinegar as soon as you walk through the door, which I think gives the place a very homey pub feel. I ordered a spiked peach Arnold Palmer, which I enjoyed (and it was pleasantly strong) and a glass of the house white, which was good for the price. Our server was very fast and attentive. To eat I got the tomato soup with a grilled cheese, which was absolutely fantastic. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and I cannot imagine a better meal after spending all day walking outside in the rain. The fries were super crispy and I liked the batter. My partner and I shared some of their breadsticks, which were deliciously baked (fresh!) and came with a super refreshing basil crema and a nice tomato-y dip. Wonderful all. My partner ordered fish and chips, and was surprised to find that it is one large fillet of fish, not multiple pieces like you would typically expect. He said the fish was fine, but a little tough. Overall, a wonderful experience. I definitely hope to return. I highly recommend this place as a refuge during the cold winter months!

This being one of two bars in Portland dedicated to Buffalo Bills(his team, not mine), he's been hinting that he wanted to come and try to catch a game here but it's quite a hike from home in Beaverton. Well today was our day since we were so close. Walking in his face lit up as he took in all the Buffalo Bills decor around the restaurant. It was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon holiday weekend; we found a couple seats up at the bar. So many things in the menu screamed out at us to try but "Weck Royale" was his choice, a delicious twist on the sandwich he's been craving since we last visited his hometown in 2018. The "Royale" version was served with bone marrow. The cheese curds were good with a Buffalo spice dry rub. I committed one of the cardinal East coast sins and asked for Ranch dressing!! I opted for the crab roll and a cup of clam chowder that were featured as their anniversary special. We'll definitely be back to try the wings as well as the "chicken finger sub" known to Buffalo folks!
