The menu also features clam strips prawns and fish Reuben hamburgers and other mouth-watering delights, come in and see Bob, you want leave hyngry or disappointed.“

“My friend and I visit here every Friday evening. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. Especially Jason. He remembers regulars, and is very genuinely caring about the people he serves. The servers, including Lupita, are very prompt and nice. Your drinks never go empty! We prefer this location because it’s not only open until 10pm, but because we have had such pleasant experiences with the staff. Food is pretty darn good too! Fresh breakfast meats and French toast! Thank you!“

“Had family in town with their kiddos and we wanted to do a night out. OP was the perfect choice. The staff was great getting a spot set up that could handle a wheelchair, stroller and energetic 3yr old.

They have a great cocktail and wine menu, but as the designated driver I stuck to the N/A drinks. Luckily they have one of my top 3 N/A cocktails- red ferrari (think negroni).

The food was fantastic. I highly recommend starting with a meat and/or cheese plate (we did both) then do a Round 2 of small plates. For us it was a few salads. All were good but I especially liked the chicories salad with Caesar-like dressing. Next we grabbed entrees. It was hard to narrow down to one option so I ended up doing a split plate situation and shared the gnocchi and the chicken plate. The gnocchi was pillowy with a perfect amount of mushrooms and carmelized onions. The chicken thigh had crispy skin and the potatoes were smooth and buttery which paired nicely with the chard.
Sadly, there was no space for dessert so I'm just dreaming of the Basque cheesecake, but guess that just means a return trip is needed.“

“This is a great first date place. The food presentation was outstanding. However, we felt it was a little blan. They use RC soda products here, which are flat at the bar but have carbonation if gotten from the back. Amazing happy hour!

Kid-friendliness: Not great for kiddos.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of wheelchair accessibility tables.“

“Had a fabulous dinner here! The venison special was better than any steak I’ve ever had, and dessert was just as incredible. A true gem worth supporting!“

“Excellent food. Rotating menu of inventive, tasty dishes. Excellent service.“

“One of the best brunch spots in Portland. Everything is high quality, and they even have delicious mocktails! The seasonal veggie hash was a clear winner for us. The fried chicken was so juicy and tender. Highly recommend- come early because it’s crowded and there’s always a line!!“

“Great food , better service and amazing atmosphere, all because of the service. Not 1 person walked by us without asking if we needed anything.“

“This review is based on our last few minutes paying the bill, everything else was top notch. Our group of 4 was chatting when our bills arrived and continued to visit, and our waiter came by to gather abit later and told him it was ready. At this time we Bagan to review our bills to pay one with a card and we were paying cash. As soon as I placed the cash in their bifold and placed on the table another waiter came to the table and stated being just like our waiter and dressed similarly. Worth noting she was about 110 5 foot or so with our waiter at 220 plus and 6ft or so wit a great beard. I stated that our waiter had much bigger feet and a great beard with my wife commenting about our matching hairlines... lol right. No next thing we get is she identifies as law enforcement and proceeds to walk away with an elevated voice "I'll kick beat you down" I turned left to my friend and sain now she wants to wrestle. At this point mist people are watching and then just short of screaming she yells "I'll Kick your A$$". And indeed the entire restaurant is watching on what was going on, I simply went back to visiting with our group not knowing what was next. Not long afterwards our waiter walked by and as he did thank me for the tip. No follow up from management nothing. So probably about 15 minutes after this a few other groups had left and we started our departure and still nothing. Over the years we have been here many times as a couple and a few large groups, after this event not to sure we could return for an enjoyable dining experience with their staff threatening some ones life unprovoked.

“all I can think saying is it’s delicious every spoonful come out and have some …delicious I promise“

“This was the first visit, but there will be many, many more! We showed up and were told there’d be about a 10 min wait - which was fine! About 30 seconds later though, we had a seat and were looking at the menus! Service was excellent and kind. The food was so, so good! The portions were more than generous and the coffee was good! Can’t wait for our next visit!“

“One of the best values out there for a healthy bowl! I can’t get enough of the #3 Nori bowl. It’s my favorite bowl anywhere!! So tasty, quick, and reasonably priced.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“I've eaten at Good & Evil many times during the last 10+ years and eat from both the Good and Evil sides of the menu.

The wraps and bowls/salads are always tasty and consistent.

One of the very best food carts in the Portland area.“

“Amazing little, literal, hole in the wall for some quickish eats. Food is fresh and on point and the staff is super friendly. What more is there? Highly recommend the Spicy Russian. The Pastrami is hard to beat at this price. $1 chips and sodas like the ole’ days. Do it!“

“Found The Buffalo Gap last weekend while attending a bike Show. About a mile from my stay and way better than the Boujie hotel I was at. The Bartenders and Waitresses were all awesome Great service, nice smiles and great food and drink. Thank you all I appreciate you and my new hoodie.“

“Wonderful Santa Fe Chicken and Bean soup! Highly recommended.“

“Great restaurant, we go everytime we are in Portland. Great food, great ambience and wonderful staff. Plus an outstanding butcher shop“

“We go there quite often the food is great and a good size portion, the service is great and friendly. Highly recommended“

“Elegant old world setting, great light, attentive service, lovely brunch food. The noise level depends on when you're there. We had an 11:30 am reservation. The first 30 mins were quiet and then at noon the noise level increased as all the table filled. You can have order a filling brunch for a relatively modest price if you're strategic (share a main dish and supplement with the add-ons) or go all out with drinks, benedicts, etc. We will definitely go back. TIP: if you're a guest at the hotel, even if you checked out before have your brunch, you can "bill" your room and you get 15% off your meal.“

“Went here for a work holiday party and had a blast. The staff was amazing and kind and very attentive. The food was delicious, we had prime rib, crusted chicken and shrimp with salad, veggies and Mac n cheese and everything was delicious. The creamy horseradish sauce was really good. The bowling spot was amazing, had the whole place to ourselves. We also had some pingpong and pinball games as well. Totally recommend for a fun night with a group.“

“Extensive menu, exceptional service, & you’re guaranteed a personal experience w/ the owner as he’s there everyday.“

“The food was really good. Old fashioned, super friendly.“

“We loved Hal’s so much that we ate there for breakfast all three days we were in Portland — and that says everything.

The atmosphere is incredible — fun, welcoming, and such a vibe to start your day. It feels like an experience, not just a meal. The walkability from nearby hotels makes it even better, especially when you’re visiting and want something easy and memorable.

And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every single morning was consistently delicious, fresh, and worth coming back for again and again.

Thank you for being such a big part of our time in Portland. We’ll be dreaming about breakfast here until our next trip back!“

“great cheese steaks , have the best customer service. all in all best experience“

“First time here and it's a very nice looking place.

had the steak which was VERY good. very juicy , which is my favorite kind of steak.

I dont normally eat mushrooms, but decided to try them since they came with the meal, and they were pretty good. I would have mushrooms more if they tasted that good.

our server was also mega friendly. really appreciate her positive additude. made me feel welcomed there.

deffintly would come back again, next time I'm in the area.“

“Always tasty & enjoying fabulous music!“

“An absolute gem! Mother’s Bistro & Bar exceeded all expectations. The food was flavorful and comforting, the service was incredibly attentive, and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. It’s the perfect spot for a memorable meal. Highly recommended!“

“Incredibly nice staff, and the variety on the menu cannot be beat!“

“Just ate there today with my brother and had the double bacon cheeseburger and it was amazing!!!!“

“Salmon chowder is spectacular. Amazing flavor depth with generous chunks of salmon.“

“One of the best restaurants I’ve been at in a while“

“Oh my gosh. Such a delicious meal! I got the combination plate and the schnitzel was so flavorful. I've heard good things about the dill soup and it did not disappoint! We finished our meal with eclairs to go.

My boyfriend and I both agreed it'll be hard to try something new because we both loved what we got! Can't wait to back!“

“Very nice atmosphere, fast service“

“Great Indian food and nice people to help you and assist you with choosing the right food. It was buffet style.“

“I had the Lox plate and it was FABULOUS! I'm from a Chicago suburb that had several delis and it felt like I was back home. My husband had the avocado toast and enjoyed it very much. This will definitely be our breakfast place when we come back to visit Portland again. My husband picked up our take-out and said that the staff was very friendly. GREAT EXPERIENCE!!“

“Creative, delicious food, warm & welcoming staff!“

“I make it a point to visit Canard Burnside on all of my trips to Portland! The unique flavors and presentations on their menu keep me coming back for more. Had the roasted beets last night for the first time and the flavor was out of this world.“

“My friend and I decided to come and have happy hour and we ordered california roll the wagu beef sliders the cod tacos and the fishermens stew. I enjoyed the sliders very much. The california roll had more rice than filling but, the crab meat, avocado and cucumber had good flavor but the quantity was very small. the cod tacos didn't say it was blackened with spices that were a little more than my taste buds could handle. the fishermens stew was very flavorfull and had well cooked fish and seafood. I would not recommend the california roll because of the amount of rice.“

“This was our first time really trying German food, and it absolutely hit! The food was amazing and the service was just as great. Everything is made from scratch, and the owner told us he runs the place solo, which made it even more impressive. You can really taste the care and effort that goes into the food. Such a great experience overall—we’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Water served in repurposed wine glasses, Chandon mimosas for the whole table, the best Oregonian salmon Benedict on the west coast!? This place is the real deal.. def consider a stop for brunch if you’re in the Portland area!“

“I've been coming here for a good 10 years and I love the food there, I usually get a veggie omelette or a chicken gyro with feta cheese, they're french fries are out of this world. it's not too pricey, but with good food, coffee, and service you can't go wrong. I personally love the smell of the air freshener in the rest rooms . would I recommend this restaurant, yes most definitely.“

“From the moment you enter Wildhare, you feel like family, they know you by name and even remember what you eat. The staff is incredible, the food options are always a large variety to choose from and delicious everytime. Bonus points the owners are huge supporters of our local schools and youth sports. Both locations we dine at and love! Highly recommend.“

“I'm torn when writing this review. We had reservations for Valentine's at 6pm.

The decor was beautiful with rose petals on the ground, on tables ect.

There was no host and with several parties crammed into the entry way, one patron. asked one of the staff who said some one would be there shortly. It was not as organized as one would have hoped.

We were a party of 4. They bypassed us in line to seat couples.
not a big deal but there was no explanation. When we sat down our server did say that they had 3 service times do to the Valentine's day and that dinner was trimmed at 2 hours. She took our drink order almost 15-20 min. in.

The fist couse, a small bite of whipped goat cheve with quince paste and caviar. The pastry was not crispy and the cheese overpowered the rest of the flavors. The appetizer we choose was scallops, one was perfect seared with the second being under cooked. Same for my partners. The parsnips purree was a nice addition to the dish.
The Caesar salad was good.
The lemon sorbet, excellent.
For the main course we had Salmon. It was cooked perfect and the carrot puree was well paired. Unfortunately the accompanying broccoli was undercooked and cold.

The red velvet cake looked lovely but the ice cream was melted. Our co-dinners looked muck better. The frosting was a bit grainy and the cheese cake layer I felt had an odd texture. My partner however thought it was fine. The cake itself was moist.

Overall, it was an good experience shared with friends but I expected better. I'm sure they do a much better job when not serving dishes event style,(similar to an awards ceremony dinner or big wedding were consistently is often lacking).

I may try them again, but would not join them for another event style meal. Dinner was $125 per person not including drinks. That's not horrible for a good meal if executed well.

Again, torn with writing this since I'm sure it was due to the timing.“
