About DAME

DAME in Portland is an excellent choice for dining, offering a cozy and intimate atmosphere, good portions, a fun seasonal menu, and accommodating special dietary needs like gluten and dairy-free options. The service is phenomenal, and the overall experience is wonderful. Guests enjoy dishes like Beef Carpaccio, Pasta al pasto, and delightful desserts, all paired with great wine. The space is beautifully decorated, and the staff is attentive and friendly. The restaurant also hosts pop-ups of innovative food concepts, and the chef's hard work and passion are evident in the great flavor and presentation of the dishes. Some recent experiences suggest that a couple of weeks to update the menu might be beneficial, as some dishes are served with similar garnishes, like caviar on both hot and cold dishes, which may not always be pleasing. For example, the hot pork chop could benefit from a pineapple salsa or sauce to balance the fattiness. The Italian menu, including meatballs, salad, and pizza, has received praise for its quality. Guests also enjoyed the Chelo dinner menu for special occasions such as Valentine’s Day, highlighting dishes like guacamole and gorditas, which were especially worth the visit. The homemade hot sauces served on the side add a nice touch, and the menu appears to be fairly gluten and dairy-free friendly with many modifications available. Overall, DAME offers a cozy, flavorful, and innovative dining experience that is highly recommended.
