“Didn't have a bad bite and the service was friendly. In the realm of fine dining, Arden offers exceptional value. That's not to say that it's only about price to quality ratio though. They deliver on quality and enjoyment on a more objective level ultimately. My partner and I would both love to return. The Prix Fixe menu was a great choice and I recommend that, but either way you go I'm sure you would enjoy whatever you choose.“

“We stopped in for a quick tasting. This place has a variety of wines to choose from and taste. The service was great and we enjoyed learning more about the particular wines, etc. The hummus snack was the right complement to the wine flights we had.
If you’re in the area and looking for a sip or to kill some time, def stop in!“

“Saw an ad on Instagram about this spot and boy am I so glad I saw it! This place is so beautifully decorated and immediately sets a fun, polished, welcomIng vibe. I'm a big fan of flights so was very happpy to see that at the forefront of this menu. We went for the bubbles flight - everything was delicious and I had never had a sparkling red! For the food we tried the fondue (delish), deviled eggs, and tuna tartare (definitely the star). Service was amazing as well of course can't wait to come back and also can't believe I had never explored this area before!“

“My good friend Renee and I had an enchanted evening at Domaine Serene where we had the pleasure of trying their ambitious new menu which is now available to the public. The new menu has been crafted in collaboration with iconic, local Executive Chef George Morris, of Bos Taurus and Nomé notoriety, and features creative wine-inspired cuisine with a French bistro flair, and notable Pacific Northwest ingredients. We had been eagerly anticipating the new menu launch event, and it was a memorable and magical experience with every course. Our multi-course dinner was exceptional, and the world class wine pairings were curated with thoughtfulness. Some of our favorite dishes included: Amuse-Bouche // Shigoku Oysters on The Half Shell w/ Blood Orange ‘R’ Rosé Granita, & Yuzu Kosho. Beef Short Rib Bourguignon // Creamy Polenta, Root Vegetables, w/ a Red Wine Jus. For me, the culinary star of the show, and probably one of the best dishes I’ve ever had: The Steamed Foie Gras Wontons A rich, delectable creation framed with a Smoke-Forward Shoyu, and Aromatic; Miyagi Chili Oil, Hints of Mint From the Shiso, and the citrus notes from the lime accentuated the strengths of the dish with a delicate balance. With their exciting new menu, and added team members, now is a great time to go experience the serendipity of Domaine Serene for yourself.“

“Omg. Brock was amazing. So informative and funny and engaging. He gave us the experience I normally expect at a winery where I’m doing a tasting. He is amazing. This was our fifth stop on our wine trail but also our favorite. I can’t wait to come back.“

“Cute little place in a strip mall—that in mind I didn’t have super high hopes to be honest but this place is a gem! The food menu is thoughtful and innovative, the drinks are solid, and the staff are so charming and helpful. Will definitely be back.“

“If you're downtown, don't blow it and go somewhere else to get a bottle of wine, or get a sip of something delicious.
This place is a Portland institution, for lack of a better and more casual term.
1) You will find what you need.
2) You will find a selection of local and international bottles with love and expertise that leaves you smiling.
3) You will feel at home. Get a glass here. If you sip wine from the box at home, or if you buy from the crate. It doesn't matter, you belong here.“

“In all fairness, the owner is a relative of mine. Still this was our first visit to her wine bar and our first impression was of a very comfortable relaxed atmosphere with quality food and service. Given that she's owned the business going on thirteen years, I would say that Niche definitely deserves a visit if you have never been. It would be a great place to take out of town guests.Because of our unique circumstances, there are many details I find it difficult to speak towards. Therefore I would recommend you reviewing their website and/or calling with your specific questions or concerns.“

“Honestly was the best steak house I’ve been to… I liked how the waiter explained the whole process to the table, gave great recommendations & the chef gave us a free soup sample. All the food was 5/5 stars. Best steak & pork chop hands down.“

“So, I went to this place called Forte Portland just to check it out. I ended up getting a coffee, but it was completely silent in there. Not a single person was around, which was kind of relaxing, I guess. There's a piano there, but no one was playing it. And get this, the person working the counter was practically asleep when I walked up. I'm guessing it's not exactly a popular place during the day. Maybe it turns into a nice bar or something later at night.“
“The cozy wine bar across from the Convention Center is amazing and a must stop spot for a date night, a stop before a show, a gathering with friends, or a happy hour before trudging home from work. Great wine selection that is updated regularly, there's a little something for everyone. The owners and staff are super friendly. Cannot wait to see what's on the menu next!“

“Gawd…Aren’t we spoiled in Portland? Another gem discovered.
This is a meal I will remember for its simple perfection.
Haricot verts served cool with mint, almonds, pickled cherries tossed lightly in chèvre based ‘dressing’. Carrots roasted to perfection with balanced heat and sweetness served over a cloud of whipped chèvre. A meltingly tender boef steak. My idea of a perfect meal. Cocktails were delicious. A memorable sparkling rosé.
Service was impeccable. The ambience, warm, charming and romantic.“

“My wife and I enjoyed the charm and nostalgic ambiance of Willful Wine at the Grant House, especially with its unique location inside historical 1850's era building on Officer's Row at Fort Vancouver. The hostess was very welcoming. Staff was very friendly and helpful with our wine selection. My wife and I ordered their sharable charcuterie board, a house salad, and wine as a mid-afternoon refreshment after attending a historical presentation at the Visitor's Center. Everything was delicious. We were pleasantly surprised to have beautiful live piano music serenade us both as we enjoyed sampling their wines and cheeses. Willful Wine has a good selection of pinot noirs, red blends, and other wines served by the flight, glass, or bottle. They also offer classic signature cocktails. As a scratch kitchen, there is limited selection. We look forward to returning to try other menu items.“

“Always a great time and a beautiful meal at Beso. The service is friendly and the food is quality. Such a warm and comfortable environment.“
“Linda was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and polite. Highly recommend the Vancouver tasting room. If in Walla Walla go to the tasting room there. Michelle was equally fantastic“
“From the outside, you approach a rather non-descript older building somewhere between Slabtown and the Pearl. However, the moment you step through the metal-framed glass front door, you are transported somewhere else. Moreover, what you come to realize as you gaze at the eclectic collection of memorabilia throughout is that there is a story waiting to be told.
However, before you can get to the “back” story, cozy up to the bar and introduce yourself to Chris. He is the laid-back host, sommelier, front man, musician, producer, tour guide, curator, deli chef, etc… He’ll tell you about the French wines they are pouring this week. Perhaps a French Rose or Chardonnay is what you’re looking for, but for me, and always, it’s the French red. Tonight, we had a bottle of the 2016 Bordeaux, with a simple but delicious charcuterie board. Yes, Chris did the corking, decanting, and charcuterie carving!
There are so many things right about this wine bar and the vibe here that you simply must visit. It’s hip, chill, cool, old school charm, and before you take your first sip of wine, you are already in love! The signs hanging on the walls appear to be from a bygone era. Maybe they reference the building’s history? I’m quite sure Chris would be happy to answer your questions. He’s an excellent conversationalist, and is one of the main reasons this place is so unique and absolutely worth you’re your time to explore.
I won’t get into the “back” story about this place, but it’s fascinating, and if you are one of the lucky patrons, you might just get a guided tour by the above-mentioned curator, Chris.
I have attached a few pictures from our recent tour for your consideration. Cheers!“

“We can always count on Olympia Provisions to provide us with a truly pleasurable experience. The food is always impeccably prepared and delicious. The wait staff is excellent, attentive and genuinely concerned about our experience. The ambience - lighting, decor, etc is enjoyable, too. (Full disclosure: Our son was one of the architects who worked on the Olympic Mills building renovation. So we get to feel a little pride in his work while we're there.)“

“found ourselves in the st johns area and had this pizzeria on our list to visit for a while! simple pie choices on the menu, but in my humble opinion that is the mark of a good pizza place. the pizza we chose (prosciutto with green olives) had very high quality ingredients and tasted great. the crust was next level crisp and flavorful. lombardo's has a few picnic tables outside for seating, which was a lovely way to eat a lovely pizza on a lovely autumn day. service was friendly and quick. absolutely would recommend and would return.“

“Great pho with better than most cuts of meat. My wife got the pad thai and said she enjoyed it very much. Would recommend to friends. They were also very nice to my 2.5 year old daughter and were considerate enough to bring a small bowl for her to share some of our food with.“

“Charming ambiance, phenomenal meal, and excellent service. Thank you Abigail for waiting on us. I regret it's taken us so long to find our way back here. Still as great as it was a few years ago. That's a testament to a great owner and team. We really enjoyed the bruschetta appetizer, creative mocktails, the king salmon and Dungeness crab pasta specials, and the best tiramisu in all of Portland! See you again soon!“

“Andina was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our waitress Jana was superb. Immensely attentive, kind, pleasant, and professional. She helped us with some suggestions. The beet salad and yucca were stellar to start - the green and white sauce was tremendous. I had the rib-eye stir fry with tamari, tomatoes, garlic rice, and my friend had the same but with mushrooms instead of steak. The poached pear dessert was phenomenal. It was a birthday dinner for me, so my friend motioned to Jana (who was aware and got the hint, coming right over to us) - she brought over a scoop of their homemade pear ice cream with matcha along with a candle. I made a wish and the ice cream was pure bliss. A 10/10 all-around experience! - Ben“

“I have been at Riccardo's twice for lunch in the pass month. The food, and service are superb. I wanted to tell Riccardo in person what a wonderful Ristorante that he has, but he had already left. Thank you.“
“I’m not from Portland, but this place deserves more hype. Cocktails are great ( the house Negroni is amazing ), the food was delicious ( the focaccia, the farro carrot salad, and meatballs were particularly good ) , and the ginger cake with apple compote for dessert was just insane so so good. Come here, give this place the hype it deserves.“
“Google stated the closing time as 6 pm, but it was 4 pm. However, the barista was still there chatting with some folks. She was happy to make me a latte despite it being well past 5 pm. Sitting on the porch in the sun, I was drawn into a friendly conversation with other guests. The place -- including its bathroom -- were spotless and really friendly. The latte was good.“

“I came for one beer and left with three new friends, a minor existential crisis, and a T-shirt I don’t remember buying. Civic Taproom is like Cheers, if Cheers had 20+ rotating taps and everyone was slightly more hipster.
The bartender had the beard of a lumberjack and the pour skills of a Michelin-star sommelier. I asked for something “hoppy but emotionally supportive,” and he nailed it. The IPA hugged my soul while whispering, “You’re doing your best.”
Also, shoutout to the bathrooms for being cleaner than my apartment. 10/10 would hide from my responsibilities here again.“

“LOVE this place. Great ambience. Great food. Live DJ is a nice touch. I had the Kim Chee Fried Rice with Pork Belly. The pork belly was cooked to perfection. Nice flavor balance. Not too spicy but just enough kick from the Kim Chee. My only disappointment was the portion size. But this is a very minor thing considering the food was so delicious. I also tried the Popcorn Tofu. It's amazingly hard to find tofu fried just right and they do it well. The spice they sprinkled on it was sweet/salty with the perfect balance of flavor. Can't wait to go back.“

“Last night's dinner at RC was amazing...as usual!!! Wonderful service, no attitude just nice and helpful people. The food was very tasty. ALL of it served HOT. French Onion soup was yummy. I really did not care too much for the Center Cut steak that was on the monthly special. It was fibrous and a bit tough to slice and chew.. As for desserts....HUGE and DELICIOUS ❤️❤️‼️“

“Stopped by on a whim to make sure I tried some Oregon wines while I was visiting Portland. I had a wonderful time and tried some delicious wines. Met the owners who were as nice as could be. I ordered a flight of three wines and also ordered the olives. the wines were very good, and the olives were so good I had to ask what kinds they were. Seems like a great place to enjoy some wine and food. I wish I could've stayed longer and gone back another time. They also have a bottle shop attached so if you find one you really like you can take it home with you.“
