SuperBite

SuperBite (sometimes Superbite)[1] was a New American restaurant in Portland, Oregon.[2] It operated from April 2016 to December 31, 2017.

Description

The New American[3] restaurant SuperBite operated in downtown Portland, serving small plates (or "super bites").[4] The menu included a burger,[5] Dungeness crab, egg noodles, onion rings, salmon ceviche, and fried trout over potato purée with a black bean sauce.[6] Michael Russell of The Oregonian called the restaurant "experimental".[1]

History

SuperBite opened in April 2016, in the space that previously housed Grüner.[7] SuperBite launched happy hour in 2017.[8] That same year, sous-chef Nikko Marquez replaced Cory Rom as chef de cuisine.[9] In November, the owners announced plans to close SuperBite after service on New Year's Eve (December 31) in order to open Bistro Agnes in the same space.[10][11]

In 2016, SuperBite was named reader's choice in the Best Restaurant category of Eater Portland's annual Eater Awards. Chef-owners Greg Denton and Gabi Quiñónez Denton were also nominated in the Chef of the Year category, and SuperBite was also named editor's choice in the Restaurant Spin-off of the Year category.[12]
