Incredible food. The crab rice, the tamale, the cabbage. Outrageously good. Cocktails were perfect. Service was lovely. Can't wait to return!

Quite possibly the best restaurant I have ever dined at. I was looking for something different to celebrate our anniversary and Regards was the place. Small plates to share is all they do. No more wishing you ordered what the other person did. They recommend 4-6 plates for 2 people and 4 was perfect for us. We started with diver caught scallop ceviche which had a nice acidic bite to it. Paired perfectly with the Motivator and LA Nights cocktails both wish are Mezcal and citrus. Our second course was grilled octopus in a spicy sauce. Never had octopus before but wanted to channel my inner Somebody Feed Phil Rosenthal and go do it. So glad we did it was very good. It's been 24 hrs and I am still thinking about that dish. Another round of cocktails. Dish three was the coffee rub fried chicken. At first feeling fancy we started with fork and knives but quickly humbled ourselves and ate with our hands. Everything was well flavored and cooked just right. Our last dish was the miso short ribs and greens. Again cooked to perfection. Sadly we were too full for desert I really wanted the tortilla blueberry ice cream. A reason to come back. Overall very impressed with Regards and we will be back. Thankfully it's only 2 miles from our house. If you are looking for something different to celebrate a special occasion or just splurge with friends this is the place to go to. 10/10 would recommend.

Regards never fails to be a great experience. Menu is constantly changing and I have at least one life changing item every time I visit, this time it was the chicken wings stuffed with chorizo with an amazing sauce that you whipped an egg yolk into. Unforgettable. Environment is always friendly, warm, and intimate, and the yummy high quality drinks always help. Can't wait to be back.

Everything was delicious; so many interesting flavors! Especially loved the Macadamia mole tamales, and the strip lounge tartar. Fun to try different mezcals.

We had an amazing time at Regards. Service was wonderful, we sat at the bar with Jordan and he was kind enough to go through the menu items with us and answer questions about allergies. I have celiac and almost all of the menu was available to me! This chef is doing some INCREDIBLY innovative things with food and every single bite we had was delicious and like nothing we'd ever had before. We came on what seemed to be a slower night but there should be a line out the door every single night here. If you love a great meal with good vibes, put Regards on your Portland list. You will not regret it.

We felt disconnected from some of the very negative reviews we read. Our server, Neville, was very cordial, informative and helpful in guiding us, plus efficient. We had no delays in service and loved all of our 5 choices which came spaced our in time nicely. The restaurant was full and yet they kept our service going well.

Lovely staff, good service, nice ambience. Not every dish was a hit; some were more "interesting" than delicious. The peekytoe crab with black rice, for example, was ambitious but too salty (I thought) and the flavors did not quite come together in harmony. I will probably return, with foodie friends, but it won't be my go-too night out spot...

Some of our favorite dishes of our trip were the Scallop Crudo and the Tamale with the the White Macadamia Nut Mole.

extremelyinnovatuve cuisine, unexpected touches such as Burrata with herbs and tomatillo salsa, do not miss the desserts
We thoroughly enjoyed the fresh and unique ingredient combinations. Thank you for an excellent dinner and great service, too!

We had a wonderful meal at the bar, tried a couple cocktails each, and split 6 dishes with a dessert, which was actually the perfect amount for two hungry people. Cocktails were great. Food was all truly excellent, the maitake tacos were recommended and were a highlight of the meal. Mackerel crudo was crazy. Scallops, avocado and hamachi all great. Cant say enough about the great hospitality we received from Mena at the bar. He was thorough with accommodating an allergy, genuine, gave the right recommendations, and had great knowledge of the menu. His colleague that night who was serving the floor was also a really friendly and and genuine person. We appreciate them, and would go back here again for sure.

I was excited to host our party due to the hype in the news paper. We eat out at least twice a week and have numerous favorites and hoped to add regards to that list. The food looked more appetizing than it tasted. The tamale was bland, the prawn tacos and deboned wings were overcooked and the grilled short ribs were grizzly. My favorite was the chef created hot sauce. Over all very disappointing.
Alexander
Small dish, tapas style. Half of it was good, half of it was great, nothing was bad. Good staff. Energetic environment.

Very creative food, small portions. Great presentation. Multiple waitstaff serving the table which made the experience a little difficult.one staff member was pretentious snd low spoken. Created an awkward environment. The rest of the staff was amazing.
