Had dinner with friends here for the fifth or sixth time--consistently excellent food, exceptional service, quiet and warm atmosphere. A true Portland gem, with an experienced and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

We stopped in for dinner when we were staying downtown. We wanted something a little more special because we had a night away from kids and this was totally it. The food was incredible. Our server was great. It was expensive for us but worth it for the experience.

I love this place. My first visit was in 2019, traveling to PDX weekly from across the country. Twice a week I would eat dinner here. The atmosphere, staff and food are amazing. I've been coming back ever since. Cannot say enough about this place.

Q had popped up on my Yelp searches several times but for some reason never went. This evening I went shopping at the mall with my family and we were starving and Q popped back up with it being walking distance. I cannot believe I waited so long to come here!!!
Absolutely everything was amazing! The vibes are so great - I could definitely see it being great for date night or a family dinner or after work dinner. Service was also great and attentive.
We ordered:
- NY steak (dinner special)
- Deviled Eggs
- Warm baguette
- Snake oil mocktail
- Chocolate soufflé
- kids cheeseburger and fries
- s’mores tart (liked this one more than the soufflé!)
Love the various menu options and especially the creative mocktail options for someone who is sober curious.

Amazing.
The FLAVORS!! The dishes were all familiar, but everything tasted exquisite. Like:
- The extra char on the bacon-wrapped dates
- Hidden caramelized onions under the steak.
Only bummer was how long dinner took. We did have a large party, but didn’t expect to be there for 3hrs.
Food was delicious. Looking forward to enjoying them again soon in a smaller group.

I've dined here a couple of times now, both occasions were excellent. The service was wonderful, the drinks were strong, and the food was delicious. I will be back again

Wonderful service and memorable food. I had the duck entree (perfectly prepared) and my husband had the burger. Delicious drinks as well. Wish we had room left for dessert, but we’ll just have to come back. 😋

The food was pretty good. I stepped outside my comfort zone and tried some dishes I hadn't had before (Roasted Duck Breast). It was good. We had to wait a bit longer for our food than I would've preferred, but the server was apologetic and was good about refilling waters and checked on us often.

We went all out and spent over $230 plus tip here. We ordered the baguette, which was warm and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and served with butter and a little salt on the side.
We also tried the black sesame cashews (served in a shot glass), which were not too sweet and not too salty.
We tried the salad with the bacon, poached egg, and white cheddar dressing and it was a good size to share as an appetizer.
We ordered New York strip and substituted fries instead of the corn and squash. The portion was good, but overall the dish was more expensive than it probably needed to be.
We also ordered the Rocco, which was a veal dish served with a bone with the marrow. The portion was good and the meal was good, but again, it was pricey.
We tried the bloody Mary, which was garnished with a pickled cauliflower and small piece of celery on a skewer. I was not impressed with the garnish, which lacked olives and was overall unimpressive. However the flavor was good, I enjoyed the smoky salted rim, and it had a good level of spiciness.
We also had the Mule which was fairly good, made with pineapple juice and Q's house-made? ginger beer, which made it a bit different than the traditional mule in my opinion.
Lastly the favorite drink was the Orchids of the Caribbean, made with a house-made almond syrup, which I think really made the drink. It was slightly sour (sourness reduced by the milky almond syrup), and slightly herbaceous flavored thanks to the mint leaves. I wouldn't hesitate to get this drink again if I come back.
The cocktail menu had a zero alcohol section.
Overall, the food was tasty; we had a myriad of different, new flavors; and we spent a small fortune ;) so it wouldn't be a place we go to regularly, personally.
The atmosphere was nice, there was seating around the edge (suggest reservation) of the dining room and at the bar. There was nice table decor, which felt romantic.
We arrived at 5pm and only a few people were there, presumably waiting for the rest of their group. By the time we left, it was bustling, bursts of laughter and boisterous conversations.
All in all, l'd probably come here again if I had money to burn. Everything tasted good and it was comfortable. The waitstaff were very friendly, answering all our questions without hesitation about what the various ingredients were in both food and drink.
We enjoyed our special, upscale flavored meals and drinks; the friendly service; the reasonable, fairly low wait times for food and drinks; and the romantic vibes.
