A Portland restaurant offers a unique shared dining experience with a variety of dishes to choose from. While some diners enjoyed the ambiance and favorites like broccoli and lobster, others were disappointed by the food quality and service. Accessibility concerns for patrons with disabilities were raised, and the wine list was criticized for being overpriced and overly complicated. However, theme nights like Harry Potter were praised for attention to detail and value. Overall, the restaurant received mixed reviews with some highlighting the delicious food and accommodating staff, while others found certain aspects lacking.
