Grilled Octopus

market

Charred over the live-fire parilla, finished with citrus and herbs from the kitchen garden. A signature plate since opening.

Ahi Tuna Ceviche

market

Refreshing, citrus-cured ahi with bright aromatics — the kind of bite that opens the table for everything that follows.

Small Plates

Shared · House-Made

House-Made Empanadas

market

Hand-folded daily, with seasonal fillings from the Pacific Northwest. Ask your server about today's preparation.

Steak Tartare

market

Hand-cut beef, dressed with capers, shallot, and yolk — a Patagonian take on a classic.

Foraged Mushrooms

Oregon mushrooms gathered from local foragers, cooked simply over wood-fire to honor the season.

From the Parilla

Live-Fire · Dry-Aged

28-Day Dry-Aged Rib Eye

Aged twenty-eight days in-house, grilled over open flame on the parilla, and finished with bright, herbaceous chimichurri. The dish to share at the head of the table.

The Bar Program

Drinks

Our beverage list takes its cues from the same regions that inspire the kitchen — Argentina's bold Malbecs, Chile's coastal whites, the spirit traditions of Patagonia and Peru, alongside an Oregon-led list of local pours.

Sit at the bar facing the open parilla, or settle in beside the 1,300-gallon live jellyfish and coral reef aquariums. Either way, a glass and a small plate is a fine way to spend an hour on the waterfront.
