Since last August, we've known that former Boston chef Chris Gould (Uni Sashimi Bar at Clio) was planning to open a restaurant in Portland, but it wasn't until this week, when Richard Borelli of Harriman Architects appeared before Portland's Historic Preservation Board, that any more news was revealed.
REVIEW: PORTLAND HUNT & ALPINE CLUB: HUSH, HUSH W/ CHRIS GOULD
"I’d completely fail you if I didn’t tell you about the second half of this tasty evening – the food. Chris Gould (of Boston’s Coppa and Uni) prepared an exceptional spread of small plates to accompany the cocktails. Chris, with his wife Paige, is planning on opening a “seasonally inspired small plates restaurant with international flavors” sometime later this year, and if the dishes we sampled tonight were a fair preview, this yet-to-be-named place will quickly rise to the top of any Portland must-eat list."
