“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.“

“4.99999⭐️ If you’re whiny about helping yourself or clearing your table, don’t go here🙃 BUT, you’re missing out! The food is DELICIOUS and the drinks are right👌🏼😍“

“Friendly atmosphere food is always good service is prompt. Has a Cheers type feel.“

“Love love love Tabern! Food and drinks are great!“

“Everything about this place is phenomenal. The food is so delicious. We tried several things off the menu and couldn’t decide what our favorite was. They were all that good. And the staff are on top of it! Friendly, helpful, and happy. And we had the most sensational cocktails ever! Highly highly highly recommend this place. Great vibe and energy too!“

“We had a phenomenal time for my birthday at Xiao Ye. The ambience felt like we were the only ones dining there. We had several dishes all which were good! Their mole ribs are delicious. Their madeline’s with jalapeño cream made us not want to leave. Their roasted cabbage was a whole entree but worth trying. Make sure you try their gelatos after. The melon once tastes like a better Melona bar.

Wheelchair accessibility: I called to adjust our table for my mother who is on a wheelchair.“

“It was delicious!!! Rabbit, foie gras, pigs feet, escargot, halibut, eel, scallops, all the fancy sauces….SOOO good!! Every bite was just perfectly executed. The staff was so friendly and engaging which made it really fun to sit at the chef’s counter!“

“Amazing food! We did the 7 course option and it turned out wonderful. The staff is sooo super friendly and knowledgeable about everything. Can’t wait to go back next time we’re in Portland. Also holds a special place in my heart since we got engaged there. :)“

“I think a couple weeks to the menu would be needed. We noticed the same garnish with caviar on both hot and cold dishes. The caviar on the hot pork chop wasn't very pleasing. The pork chop definitely needed a pineapple salsa or sauce with it to cut through the fattiness of the chop and grits.“

“Whole menu from start to finish was creative, beautifully presented, and so freaking delicious. The octopus, sea bass and the panna cotta were my favorites. Service was attentive, and all the wines were paired incredibly well. You can tell the owners are so passionate and excited to share their family culture - as they should be! The whole vibe of the place is cozy yet elevated. Definitely plan to come here again!“

“I am a programmer for a local city community center, and our group of seniors (13 people) had the most wonderful experience! The food, ambiance and amazing service that everyone received was top notch! What made it a truly memorable experience was the group getting to meet Cheryl herself, who was so accommodating and generous. Thank you Cheryl❤ , we will be back again and will be singing your praises with our friends and colleagues.“

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

“Amazing food and service. We had delicious oysters, incredible zucchini appetizer and gnocchi with shared trout main. Beautiful wine, great cocktails and wonderful atmosphere. Really up as good as any Michelin starred restaurants we've visited in the U.S.“

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

“What a great experience. Our party of four was there for brunch. I had apple fritters with side of amazing Hungarian sausage with homemade mustard. - exceptionally good! My wife and daughter had baked pancakes with plums, the other with raisins. Very unique, very good as well. One man runs the whole restaurant from kitchen to table. Loved the experience.“

“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.“

“Fantastic time at Cabezon! They made special mocktails for us and asked us our preferences of flavors- we felt really taken care of! Food was delicious too, my favorite was the pork chop and the cheese board, but the basil shrimp and butter lettuce salad were also so good! Don't forget dessert, we loved the honey lavender crème brûlée! Ambiance was nice, I loved the jelly fish light fixtures!“

“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.“

“Their newer digs in the SE warehouse district are tougher to spot than their pre-covid NW ones, but the hunt is worth it. Look closely for an unassuming sign above the door. Their charcuterie and mussels are as good as ever, and the gazpacho, even better. The new space is divided: One part larger, more airy; the bar part darker and more intimate. Take your pick. The service isn't stuffy but very attuned to the menu and diners. We had a great experience. OP earned its recent rave review in the Oregonian's 2025 Best Restaurants.“

“Went here as a early Mother’s Day treat with my daughter. Had the sample plate…. So delicious and we learned we liked it all! Also got a sundae….. totally recommend. For take home I got the cookies. This place is a gem! Stop by and check it out for sure if you are ever in the area.“

“Astera truly is the stuff of dining dreams! While that might sound hyperbolic, one visit will reveal that it’s actually an understatement. You can expect a scintillating showcase that each season of Oregon’s bounty has to offer. Chef Aaron Adams’ commitment to detail with the entire mission is unmatched, from the expertly curated beverages right down to the locally made dinnerware on which the ever evolving menu is served. I am perpetually excited to see their latest creations. It is always an exquisite experience and an overall inspiration that makes me extra grateful to live in Portland.“

“I got the riesenschnitzel. It was delicious.

Anita does all the baking here and she's amazing, so make sure to save room for dessert, or take something home with you. I got the black forest cake, but sadly forgot to take a picture of it.“

“Cozy neighborhood vibes. Had to remind myself it is a bar. Kinda loud, but then again it is a bar. Scored low on service because there is zero table service. You have to keep getting up to order at the bar. Good burger and fries. Trout chips and dip was different but tasty. Overall good experience.“

“I had a memorable dinner at Higgins Restaurant. I ordered their Oregon Mushroom Set Menu, and each dish reflected their respect for local ingredients. The wild mushroom bisque was particularly delicious, with a smooth texture and rich aroma. The waiter was very professional and attentive, explaining the background of each dish. The elegant yet relaxed atmosphere was perfect for a leisurely meal with friends or family.“

“Probably the best breakfast in Portland, biscuits are amazing!!“

“Fresh pasta and inventive salads“

“I am rarely so pleased with a place and experience that I take the time to let the internet know.

I have certain food restrictions due to my religion, and are not able to have a lot of breakfast favorites because they often have pork. I was so happy to see eggs Benedict with veggie sausage and biscuits and gravey with non-pork options (elk and mushroom).

The drinks too! Veg bloody maries! The Rosemary Paloma was great too.

My server Mars was awesome and is great at what they do. When I mentioned it was my birthday, they said they'd cover my drink for me!

I found this place while visiting from out of state and I hope to come back again before I leave!

Thank you for the good experience and I hope everyone else has just a great of an experience as I did. Highly recommend.“

“Haley was amazing!!! The food was delicious,and the service was fast, friendly and excellent. Chai ☕️ was so good!“

“food was so very good. and the whiskey sour was lovely.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“Hands down one of the best sandwich places I’ve had. Fully appreciate the variety of the vegetarian friendly sandwiches. Got the Fresh Prince, which doesn’t come with cheese and I debated adding it, but i didn’t and I didn’t miss it! The flavors are so well balanced and delicious, the sour dough was just awesome. Everything together was phenomenal, and I immediately wanted more.“

“Tried the Rum Club on a whim while staying down the street and can't wait to go back! The happy hour punch was a steal at $5 and the pineapple fried rice was a huge portion for 2 of us to share. We also tried both the Burning Son & Doors and Corners cocktails, both were delicious. Service was great, friendly and attentive.“

“This was our first time here and certainly won't be the last. The ambiance, service and cuisine made for a marvelous evening. We enjoyed decadent salads (Swiss Chef and Beets with gorgonzola) The dessert was divine, and like our salads, the portions were generous and the quality of ingredients were excellent. We feasted on a double berry tart a la mode. its presentation was photo worthy. All food had an artistic presentation. We were so impressed 👏“

“A little tricky to order a beer. I use the QR to order, the clerk says that didn't receive, I share the receipt, the credit card statement...what adventure just to order a beer 😅.
It worth swinging by inside, order and grab the beer. Good atmosphere at the beer garden, by the way...“

“Friendly staff, delicious pub food with an interesting twist, a good beer selection, and great cocktails!“

“Our first time here and the beer was good! The food ops are endless with all the food carts! The place was hopping for a Friday night and it is family and pet friendly. I couldn’t believe how many kids there were!“

“Everything is so good. It is so hard to make a decision. But it’s alright because you can’t make a mistake all so good 😋😋“

“Everything it has a cozy feeling. I love the decor. Also our waiter was very nice and friendly. I don’t live in Portland, but when I visit again I will definitely come back. My dinner was delicious. My daughter who lives in Portland suggested this restaurant.“

“I ordered the Strawberry salad to go. So good! Perfect for a very warm summer dinner. Quite large and filling. And generous with the toppings of berries, hazelnuts, and blue cheese.
It was ready for pickup when I arrived after work, which is always a plus
Will definitely eat here again. Just wish they were open on a weekend...“

“Friendly fun staff. Great beverages and food. Nice vibe.“

“Zeno’s Fusion has a “hi, you’re family now” feeling. The food is downright delicious and fresh. The tastes will take you to a place you haven’t been before! So yummy!“

“Flavorful chicken thighs- very well seasoned! Dan Dan fries are among the best I have ever had- fresh flavors and fries stayed crunchy even in all the yummy peanut sauce!! Huge portions… well too big for a lady to finish! :-) requested hot sauce in the side, glad we did as it was pretty spicy.“

“My son stopped at Bastions this past June 2025 and purchased 2 good sizes of your coffee cake. It was exceptional and so moist. We couldn't put our forks down! We're the ones who purchased a pecan pie from bastions last Christmas and a pumpkin pie last Thanksgiving. Both outstanding! Everything we've tried is excellent including the donuts. It's great to have a wonderful place that bakes without gluten, dairy and cane sugar! Thank you! Theresa“

“Gin gimlets were delicious“

“Get to Stumptown and try it!!“

“This was really a lovely dining experience. It definitely leans into the small plate for sharing/ vibe. The dishes were really unique and pleasant. Two standouts were the miso succotash which was a real surprise, and the burnt basque cheesecake which was so lovely in taste and texture. It can be a bit loud for the older set; there is dining al fresco available. There is a nice selection of wines by the glass.“

“We love performing at Coopers Hall! Amazing space and a fantastic team to work with, makes every wedding seamless and fun.“
