The husband and wife behind Ox, Greg Denton and Gabrielle Quiñónez Denton have just now opened the doors SuperBite in the old Grüner space at 527 SW 12th Avenue in Portland's West End.

"We like the function of what small plates do, what amuse-bouche and hors d'oeuvres do," says Denton. "A superbite is designed to be one to three bites. You can be really aggressive with the seasoning and the flavors, and even if you go over the top, it's a still a small amount of food to eat. When you taste one, you might crave more, but [because they're so intense] you might not necessarily want it. On its own, it's a perfect bite."

The rest of the menu is divided into plates and platters – plates are small plates while platters are designed for sharing.
