Portage

been meaning to try this place since i’d heard that a french bistro was taking over barbacoa’s space.

the remodel was well done; modern & simple which, given the tiny space, is a smart choice.

the servers were very friendly & efficient.

the food was creative &, for the most part, well executed although, a bit on the pricey side which seems a bit contrary to the “bistro” concept.

tips:
• get the saffron soup w/mussels. very rich & creamy w/perfectly plump mussels.
• don’t get the chocolate torte. it was too heavy & dense.
