Opened in September, 2016, Dame is a restaurant and wine bar located in the Northeast Killingsworth area of Portland; Owen Gabbert, LLC assisted in reinventing and remodeling it from the inside out. 

The building itself had been home to many restaurants before Dame, so the team worked to fully transform the space, working closely with the designer and owners. We moved the bar, rebuilding it from the ground up, to offer more space for both the customers and the bartenders behind it. The team’s carpenters installed custom oak shelves, as well as custom paneling, around the bar to give it a classic but updated look. 

Not content to focus strictly on the front of house, we redid both bathrooms, and fully reinvented the private dining room with paneling and dark hardwood floors to offer an inviting, but intimate area for small groups. Finally, we added new wallpaper, a banquet, antique mirrors in the main room and all new mid-century modern lighting throughout.
