“Come here for the happy hour and stay for all the foods on the menu. Smoked mussel dish was to die for, Oysters are naturally delicious but the sauces here are amazing especially that green fish sauce, I’d bottle that and sell that immediately! Server was amazing and wish I knew their name so I can shout them out. I didn’t order it but $90 for a tasting per person is just too inexpensive for that quality and amazingly tasty dishes. Just want another shout out for the mussel dish on there March 18th menu. Dish will always be in my mind.“
“We chose Guero to meet friends for my birthday dinner. We wanted easy, not overpriced and excellent food. They were very accommodating as our party number grew while we waited for a table as more people showed we weren’t expecting. Staff offered to put our cake in the refrigerator for after dinner — so kind, and even sang to me and lit a candle when they brought the cake out. I may have turned bright red ?The food and drink were delicious and the service superb. Thank you for helping end my birthday Sunday with a lovely time at your fine establishment.“
“My son and daughter in law chose this venue for the reception following their wedding. We had a group of less than 20 people in the private dining room. Fantastic experience. Everyone at the restaurant was helpful on coordinating setup prior to the event. The appetizers, cocktails, entrees and desserts all received rave reviews from the wedding guests. Service was on point and we were extremely pleased with everything. Highly recommended for a small group gathering space (the private room is the perfect size for a group of 20). We will dine here again during our next trip to Portland.“
“Just fantastic! For one reason or another we couldn't go there last time we were in Portland. But we made it happen this time and it was delicious, delightful and just all around great. I enjoy meals made up of many small plates for sharing and that's what we did. We threw some nice vodkas in the mix and were very happy with our experience. The service was very nice as well.“
“I keep coming back for the pork belly fried rice and the massaman curry. Really delicious food, great outdoor seating, and they changed their dessert options recently as well. The banana cake was great with the coconut ice cream. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants.“
“I’ve been living in the Pacific Northwest for over 7 years (in Seattle) and have traveled all over Washington and Oregon. I’ve eaten at countless restaurants ranging in price, style, type of cuisine, etc. This is hands down the best dinner I’ve had in all those 7 years! Each dish is meticulously hand crafted by the chefs (highly recommend sitting at the chefs bar/station)! The flavors are complex, layered, and unique. My husband and I shared the arancini, beet salad, scallop crudo and the soft shell crab sandwich. Every single dish was phenomenal!The craft cocktails were equally as enjoyable with a range of flavors and waves of flavor profiles that came through with every sip. Absolutely incredible, we will be back every time we visit Portland!Highly recommend planning your visit here and making a reservation. We did not make a reservation and waited 90 mins to be seated… although I’d do it all over again to eat that meal!“
“It’s a fun tiki bar in Portland known for its tropical vibe and creative cocktails. With Polynesian-inspired decor and festive drinks served in tiki mugs, it's a popular spot to relax and enjoy a taste of island life.For a first timer it was great! You will not want to leave“
“If you have anyone in your life that likes video games this is the place. Super intimate setting with private game room and open patio. This is the best place to take any gamer in your life. Food and service is top tier.Vegetarian options: Come here is you like games. Super safe and friendly environment. One of the best bars in Portland.“
“Incredible food and fun interior/ambiance, though cocktails were mediocre. Highlight of our visit to Portland and visited twice in 2 weeks.The food was unbelievably tasty — they really didn’t compromise on Texan barbecue quality with their Thai focus. The white curry with brisket burnt ends was one of the best dishes I’ve had all year. The massaman lamb curry was phenomenal too.The cocktails (Shoulda Woulda Coulda and Life of Luxury) were unfortunately overly sweet and candy-like. I would skip them and just get a cold Singha draft or their alcohol-based slushies instead.We received cold service on our first visit but super friendly and attentive service on the second. We walked in with no wait on a Monday at 4:30pm and waited 1h30 on Saturday evening at a great wine bar across the street.“
“I got the sausage biscuit and it was amazing. My fiancé got the chicken biscuit and he really enjoyed his. We also got the blueberry French toast and it was perfect, a lot of places can’t get French toast right but they did. Service was also amazing, she always made sure we were good on everything.“
“Amazing boozy brunch at Flattop & Salamander! Spanish coffee provides entertainment and is delightful! The cream sauce on the French Toast is magical. And the fried chicken & waffles was greatly enjoyed by my 15 yo boy who couldn’t stop saying how great they were ((if you have a teenage boy you know how wonderful this is)! We will be back even though it’s a good 20 minute drive for us.“
“We have been dining at Gilda’s for 6 months. Thank you to our friends Linda and Paul for introducing us to this wonderful restaurant. The food is authentic and delicious. It is a family owned restaurant and the pride of the naturally sourced ingredients is very evident. Everything is made in house. The service is exemplary! Go, you won’t be sorry!“
“Update:Everything is still amazing. Happy hour until 5pm even on weekends. We enjoyed every dish - especially liked the grilled octopus. The farmers salad was really good too - I usually don’t like goat cheese but their salad blends so well and the goat cheese is not gamey only creamy.2023:Nice seafood tapas place and great happy hour before 5pm. Especially liked the shrimp ceviche“
“This is an amazing local bar that I hope never becomes famous. It’s full of locals who enjoy an amazing dining experience with some great beers. The owner is one amazing lady who is fully engaged in the bar and loves her customers and it absolutely shows. I will definitely be back to this place multiple times, I had a fantastically fun night and I want to thank everybody I met there tonight. Big shout out to Amanda. It was her first night tonight and she was absolutely amazing.“
“The bar/restaurant is one of the best experiences Portland has to offer. The drinks are fun and tasty. The food menu might be limited but it is absolutely amazing. Every item on the menu is bold, real and will blow your mind. A true gem! The birria takes the crown!“
“Went here for lunch. Their burgers are very good and the French fries are amazing!. Also have had breakfast here. If you like traditional eggs bacon and potatoes, you will be happy. If you like pancakes, make sure you are hungry because you won't believe how big they are. And very delicious.“
“Came here around 1pm on a Saturday and were able to get seated right away. The place is very cute with live plants decor and has a number of healthy food options! I got the vegan bowl with sweet potatoes and loved it! If you aren’t vegan adding an egg to it will also taste amazing! Highly recommend, will be “
“Truly my favorite bar, I've been coming here for a couple years and the owner Sarah always says hi. The food is delicious, the drinks are awesome, the ambiance is intimate and chill. My favorite thing is to come here and get a glass of wine and the slab bread with French butter and read my book. It's just the best!!!“
“I'm obsessed with the vibe of this place... the leather seats, snakeskin wallpaper, open fireplace, photo-op phone booth curated & comfortable all dressed up in black & gold The food is great, staff is nice, one of my favorite bars to go downtown! ✨“
“We made a reservation for the Crybaby room but there was space at the bar when we arrived Friday evening. Very inspiring menu with classy, yet experimental cocktails.We tried the Field of Violets and Philosopher's Path to start, which were both beautifully aromatic. The bartender was very knowledgeable and came up with personalized recommendations that weren't on the menu for our second round. Unfortunately the bartenders were too busy to stay and chat, but we still had a great experience asking them questions and learning about the drinks!“
“PDX restaurants usually have atmosphere OR excellent food, Sapphire Hotel has both! The decor is cute. They played good music. The full cheese board was our favorite part. One of the few restaurants worth the cost of eating out in Portland.“
“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.“
“I had so wanted to come here for the Miracle Pop-Up, but I was too late to the game to get a reservation. I had read that they are reserving some tables for walk-ins, so we got there a few minutes after they opened. I already had concerns as there was already a small line forming, so I wasn't sure they could take us. Thankfully, they allowed us to sit at the bar. It was a fun spot, as there was only two of us, and we got to watch the bartender making all the festive drinks. He was very chatty and nice. I had the Marshmallow and Unicorn and my husband had Santa's Secrets, which was zero-proof. Of course, true to Miracle Fashion both were served in fun mugs/glasses. Of course all the staff and the bar looks like Christmas threw-up on it (in a good way), but what we really got a kick out of, was how well decorated the bathroom was. Even Hallmark movies you don't see decorated bathrooms. I can't recall ever taking a picture in a public bathroom, but this one was absolutely photo worthy.The bartender did mention we were smart to arrive early, and he was right, as when we were leaving I only saw two seats free. Word to the wise, unless you have a reservation I would not attempt to go here on the weekends through the end of the year unless your bring a lot of patience with you.“
“The first time I came here with my ex, and it was great. I've been here since, and still great. So who doesn't love consistency?There's something soothing about a bar with great food, good atmosphere and a sense of purpose that I couldn't find in my previous relationship...“
“Without a doubt one of the best sandwich joints in Portland. Absolutely everything made here is created with a passion for delicious food, and you can certainly tell when you taste it. From the smoked chicken wings, to the burgers, to the properly layered and piled high nachos, you will not be disappointed with anything you get on the menu. Pair anything with their extensive liquor selection and great tap list, along with amazing cocktails they make in house. I feel like when I’m inside, it’s like I’m back in my grandparents basement. It’s cozy and has a great feeling. Patio is great for the summertime. I can’t recommend this place enough.“
“Food was lovely, pasta had a perfect portion size if you’re just in the middle of being hungry and not. Service was good, just took a little long because it was a friday night. Atmosphere was not the best, there was a rowdy table behind my family that just put off out our whole vibe for the night and was very overwhelming for being outside around a lot of other people. (if you easily get overstimulated I suggest eating inside) Totally not the restraints fault, just an unlucky role of the dice“
“You've got to check this place out. Amazing mocktails, beautiful art, great selection of totally nostalgic '90s kids snacks, Pop-Tarts, muddy buddies, but seriously, what an amazing hangout spot. Comfy, cozy, and everyone was really friendly and “
“The jojos I've been dreaming of! The fried chicken sandwich was also amazing, though i might do it without the slaw next time, just a personal thing. I'll be back! The fried chicken dinner sounded good and the desserts looked great!“
“Really great experience at this restaurant. Food is fantastic and unique. The flavor profile is different than most Indian restaurants. We had Veg Pakora platter, Chicken Skewers and Veg Thali for 2, for drinks we tried the Paloma, Kashmiri Tea and Mango Coconut Lassi. Everything was cooked to perfection, and each dish had its own flavor. Chef/owner was very engaging and attentive to our needs during the meal. Highly highly recommend.“
“The vibe and cocktails are the great, the staff, especially E.J. We’re really on point. My cocktail, the pear hot toddy was amazing, and perfect for a cold rainy afternoon. The only shortfall was the food. Skip the spaghetti and go with the Harissa chicken instead.“
“I absolutely love My Vice. I live around the corner and have been in a few dozen times over the last year or so. Great little covered and heated patio to sit with my dog. The staff are always very friendly and super attentive. They usually come out with a dog treat and a bowl of water before I get seated. Then it's bloody Mary time. The food is always spot on. The breakfast dumplings are no joke and I don't know what it is about their beef but it's top notch.They've been doing dinner service on Fridays for a while now and the menu is awesome.Vegetarian options: They usually have a variety of vegetarian optionsParking: Parking lot on the side of building holds about 8 to ten vehicles“
“This was my family’s first time eating at Mestizo and we were not disappointed. I have Celiac and my daughter has a severe dairy intolerance. For once, all 3 of us were able to order several dishes to SHARE! This never happens at restaurants with our many dietary restrictions. My non-GF/DF husband loved everything, too. Note: the entire restaurant is 100% gluten free and Celiac safe, but there is dairy present in some of the dishes. However, it was very easy for them to accommodate us by taking an ingredient off, etc. Our favorites were the fried shrimp, elote, fish tacos, and the chicken tinga tostados. The drinks were also amazing. The waitstaff is attentive and kind and our food came out super fast, but still incredibly fresh. The flavors are what put this restaurant over the top for me. Everything had a very specific (delicious) flavor that made the dish special. Do NOT miss out on the GF gem! (I suggest getting a reservation for weekend nights and possibly even weekday night.) My family and I cannot wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: 100% dedicated gluten free restaurant. They also serve several vegan and vegetarian dishes. Dairy free is easy to do here, too.“
“Love how cozy this bar is! Dim lights and vibezzz. To eat I ordered "Trivia tots" and they were great! To drink, I got the spicy margarita and an IPA. Super cozy, hip atmosphere both upstairs and down. My friend and I hung out at the bar since trivia was going on upstairs and we just wanted to chit chat. I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area looking for a quick stopover!“
“Great food! Amazing accommodations, very helpful, kind, and knowledgeable staff who worked with my wife to ensure she had a meal with no allergies. The owner came to the table and met with us. She made up a menu ahead of our arrival so we knew what food items were safe, and checked up on us frequently. The waitress was very sincere and helped my grandparents with their orders. Cost was very family friendly, delicious absolutely delicious food! 10 STARS!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ -Nate & ReeAnn Leslie“
“Amazing creative dishes. Palm ceviche is fabulous as are all the entrees I can’t spell and the empanadas are flaky and delicious salsas aren’t really necessary but they are also incredible. Causas were wonderful. I couldn’t like this restaurant more if I was vegan. Highly recommend Epif.“
“Went here on a Tuesday night and I'm super glad because it is fairly small. Thankfully not a lot of people came out at happy hour time for cocktails so there were only four other sets of folks in there with us. The noise level was perfect for me who is struggling with some minor hearing loss due to my 40 years of living. I like very simple drinks so I ordered an Old Fashioned. It was delicious. And they use Old Forester as their "well bourbon." I love Old Forester. Our server/bartender (doing both jobs) was very nice. He was patient with us. He also wanted to make sure I knew that the Brie was covered in a puff pastry since I said I needed cucumbers instead of bread. I have a gluten and dairy intolerance so there's not a ton of the menu I can eat. That's fine. I went for the booze. All in all it was a good experience. It's definitely not a place I would go on a Friday night. But I will definitely go back during the week. (I don't like bumping elbows with strangers. I'm too old for that crap.) I say if you like premium cocktails, you should totally try it.“
“This was an amazing find in a city filled with coffee shops. There was nothing stuffy about the place and the service was impeccable. We sat in the window and watched locals stroll in greeted by first name... and we were treated just like we were daily customers as well. If you’re in Portland and you’re near 40 LBS make it a stop!“
“The staff was amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The cocktails were also excellent, loved the Penicillin I got. The decor in the building was also fun, but the downstairs bar was a bit humid, muggy, and was hard to be in. So we spent our time “
“Great little neighborhood bar with vintage vibe. Rochelle was a great bartender! I gave only 4 stars instead of 5 because the music was awful for the 2.5 hours I was there. We would have stayed longer but listening to loud punk rock in a cool vintage bar didn't match and seemed most customers were also annoyed with music. That is a huge part of the experience.“
“10/10 classiest bar in Foster. Come for the slushies, stay for the adult lunchablesDietary restrictions: I’m unfortunately lactose intolerant, but they have plenty of delicious options where I actually forget for a moment that I miss the taste of cheese“
“Magical energy. Delightful patio out back. Excellent selection of the best boozy products with a heavy emphasis on local brands and rainbow/bipoc+ awareness They've transformed a neighborhood eyesore into a lovely welcoming local lounge. I work at the St Johns liquor store next door; we've been so excited for this to finally happen. Welcome!“

“I had one of the best dishes that I have ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. Upon the waitresses enthusiastic recommendation (she seemed really excited about it) I went with the Boscaiola with pasta instead of ravioli. Every bite I took I closed my eyes to just enjoy the explosion of flavors. Hands down best food ever. Highly recommend but don’t forget your reservation!“
“Portland has fewer restaurants specializing in Spanish cuisine than it used to a few years ago. Bar Casa Vale does a great job of preparing many of my favorite dishes from Spain, including octopus and paella. Friendly, professional service and a creative cocktail menu too.“
“Tini's was a fun cocktail experience! Came in with a few friends and ended up ordering 1 of everything within 4 flights. It was cool tasting all the fun recipes and flavors. Some of them were out there but still good to try. It was a great place to hang out and kill a few hours with some friends. They have a projector and games to play as well as some snacks! They also give you all the recipes for all the drinks so you can make them at home! Option to purchase their vodka too! Very cool place, I would definitely go back.“
“Some friends took us for Father's day around noon, not crowded as the big breakfast crowd had left. Wonderful service. The food was incredible! We tried the empanada plate that had a variety - each yummy. It's a combo of Peruvian and Colombian food - my dish, the sopa de costillo was beyond delicious. Small place, has some outdoor dining with heat lamps which came in handy as it started to pour rain and we were warm and dry, slurping every last sip of that soup! Highly recommend.“
“On my first visit, I went with a group and we shared nearly the entire pasta menu family-style. Before we even left, I was texting a friend about how they needed to try this place because each dish was, individually, the best pasta dish I’d ever had. On the next visit, I heard the table to the left of me say “This is the best bolognese I’ve ever had.” Earlier in the night the table to the right of me couldn’t stop talking about how the chicken cavatelli was their favorite pasta they’d ever had.So, come to Montelupo for the best pasta you’ll ever have!“
“Palomar Portland is THE BEST place for Cuban inspiration and atmosphere. A bar and eatery, they welcomed us with a crew of dancers from Alaska just before closing and split food and drinks so the kids could sample everything and the staff LOVED every minute of it. We were blown away. We WILL be back!“
“Great service and a good mix of clientele. Pay attention to their awesome specials on the board, both food and drink. The patio is roomy and there's usually a place inside to sit if you want to play shuffleboard. Pick up some swag to remind yourself too return.“
“5 years ago my husband and I had our first date ever in booth 1 at Huber's. My husband surprised me with a dinner date to Huber's for our 5 year anniversary and come to find out he worked with Scott to organize a bouquet of flowers, our exact booth, and just the most kind welcome by Scott himself and the staff. We we're treated so kindly, the service and food was amazing as always, and Scott truly when out of his way to not only help my husband organize a beauty 5 year anniversary dinner surprise, but ensure we had the best time from start to finish. Thank you so much Scott!!“
“Delicious food every time we dine in, and fresh margaritas too. Supporting a queer-owned vegan business makes every bite and sip that much better. I would highly recommend their torta with any of their "meat". Music is a little loud, and it's a small environment. Besides that, the vibes are impeccable. We try to make it in every weekend.“
