The space itself is stunning—luxurious, modern, and incredibly inviting, with an open, airy design that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. It feels elevated without being intimidating, and effortlessly stylish. The drink menu is truly unique and creative.

"My search is over. I have found the absolute best corned beef hash in my life. I don't know if I could make it at home any better. One bite of this and you'll be looking in the kitchen to see if your mom is back there. Great atmosphere for sitting and chatting. Great coffee options. All around nice place with super service. If you're in the area give this place a try."

"I had lunch here and everything was delicious. I’ve had the Salt Yard Latte twice now and it’s really good, I prefer it hot over iced. The chowder and the leek soup were so delicious. The clarified cocktail was so so so good!"

"Loved this spot! It was magical and cozy during the Christmas season. Mikey was a fantastic bartender and gave awesome drink recommendations then ensured we were happy with what we ordered. Let me tell you, WE WERE! I had the spiked salt yard latte and it was absolutely delicious, the best espresso martini I’ve ever had. The espresso was freshly and ground and you could tell! We also split an order of fries that were super fresh, and we were obsessed with the garlic dipping sauce. I look forward to visiting again next time I’m hanging out in Portland!"
