Very, very good! The runner beans were my favorite dish we tried along with the caviar fingers. The outdoor patio was lovely and the atmosphere was great. The only downside was how long of a wait we had between the appetizers and entree. I was surprised the waitress or server didn’t even mention how long we waited. Maybe it’s just normal here? I’m always a little shocked by the large bill compared to the small amount of food purchased but that’s just the dining experience! Overall, a great restaurant that I would be happy to come back to.

Wonderful restaurant! I am a sucker for traditional Spanish food and this place executes perfectly and add their own twist. The Serrano ham is PERFECT and the little gruyere puffs went with them amazingly. Loved my squid ink lobster pasta as well. Would totally go again!

Fantastic meal start to finish. Great drinks, great service, and amazing food in the beautiful, serene back patio. Chaval is a wonderful neighborhood gem.
I came here with my fiancée for our anniversary and had a great time. I had the best steak I have ever tasted and my fiancée had the chicken special. The servers were attentive and knowledgeable and the atmosphere was warm and comfortable.

Great wine, cocktails and small plates. The entree was excellent but a little short on veg. Service was exceptional with great conversation and excellent suggestions. We will definitely return!!

I have never had a bad meal or experience at Chaval! The food is consistently delicious (I always get the Patatas Bravas and the deviled eggs) but we often get a little bit of everything for the table. The staff are so kind, welcoming, and make excellent recommendations. Thank you to the team at Chaval for making my most recent visit on my birthday such a treat :)
This was, hands-down, the BEST dining experience I have EVER had in a restaurant. I have very many dietary restrictions (Vegan, GF, allergic to soy, sesame, garlic,+more). The kitchen was very happy to work with me and accommodate my needs. I have a passion for plant-based culinary artistry, and these guys really know what they're doing. I was dining alone for my birthday and the staff here really took amazing care of me. Do yourself a favor and stop in here while you're in Portland, you won't regret it. I can't wait to stop in again!! Thanks so much for making my trip 10x better!!

Delicious good, relaxed vibe, amazing service

Delicious food! Nice staff. The only problem is that there were lots of Loud people and it was hard to have a conversation in your own table, since the restaurant is small

You can look far and wide, but you just can't beat this restaurant. My wife and I always sit at the bar. The bartenders are fun to engage with and take good care of us. Our only complaint is that there is so much good to choose from on the menu that we always leave there feeling over-stuffed.

I have been to Chaval three times now. Each time I have been the food has been excellent and the service has matched. They hold themselves to a high standard with an ever changing menu filled with delicious options. The price point may be a little high for some people but the quality of the food, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff more than justifies the price. If you are looking for a special place in Portland for a date or just a nice dinner Chaval is the place to go.
