Two of us dined at Kann in mid-July after months of trying to get a reservation to this popular restaurant. I’m conflicted about our visit. On the one hand, the food was excellent. We ordered the Salad Russe (potato-smoked beet salad - $15), Diri Ak Djon Djon (Haitian black mushroom rice and lima beans - $15), octopus ($26), crispy rockfish ($25), and bottle of wine followed by two desserts ($15 each), a coffee ($5), and a glass of port ($11). Our server was helpful in ensuring our portions were sized appropriately, warning us the octopus was just one tentacle. Dishes were presented with an extensive description that at times bordered on comical. On the other hand, noise level was excessive and the pricing was at the top for Portland or even a resort area. One menu item is a bone-in ribeye steak for $200 (not sure how many it serves, but the one we saw leaving the kitchen was huge). We ended up with a $195 bill, which included suggested tip options at 25%, 30%, and 35%, far more than any other bill we’ve ever encountered. What happened to the customary 20% tip that was 15% pre-pandemic? We left 25% minus change but still felt coerced. Chef Gourdet was present in the kitchen but we never saw him conversing with diners at the long chef’s counter, which we thought a bit odd since he is the prominent face behind this endeavor and could have personalized this expensive experience for his guests. Before dining at Kann, we had a drink and accra (saltfish cod fritters) at Sousol, the downstairs bar. While pricey for a glass of cava, a nonalcoholic drink, and the fritters at $51 including tip, it was the mandatory 22% gratuity that was off-putting, as was the $25 cocktails. We’ve never encountered a mandatory tip at a bar. Kudos to Chef Gourdet for showcasing his culture to a Portland restaurant, but based on the pricing it will be interesting to see if many diners return to support it (and help his investors pay off the reported $2 million price tag). If he truly wants to expose Haitian cuisine to Portland diners, bringing it only to the well-heeled seems an odd way of doing so.
