And to all my friends who've supported my come back to Portland! I love all of you more than I can say on insta!

Stay warm!

Due to low demand for the Oct 17th event, we will be postponing events until Nov. Super bummed that there wasn't more traction for the events given the first one sold out. We were really excited about the menu and the experience we were creating.

Back to the drawing board....

Thanks to , , for their help creating that first event.

Stay tuned for details on November events.

Can't get enough of this delicious carrot cake by for our events this month!

Did you know our events make a wonderful gift for that special someone? Or better yet, treat yourself to a special night out and leave the dishes to us.
