reviews

"Portland's most adventurous kitchen."

The Willamette Week

Karen Brooks, Portland Monthly

"A must visit for those who view the dining experience through a progressive lens."

Opinionated About Dining

"Among reader nominations, the complex desserts by Castagna's Justin Woodward and Eve Kutteman emerged the clear favorite, with designations like 'most original' and 'three-star Michelin worthy.'"

"Woodward earned his pastry stripes at Manhattan’s modernist food lab WD-50, and it pays off in the complex techniques and conceptual excitement largely missing from Portland’s other dessert menus."

Portland Monthly Magazine

"Chef Justin Woodward offers surprises, risks and that rarest of qualities in this city: elegance."
