“Great date night! We celebrated our first wedding anniversary here last night and every single thing we ordered was excellent. The wine/bubbles list is impressive also.“

“Good Food, Great Atmosphere and the serving staff were very friendly and welcoming, I very pleasant dining experience from start to finish.“

“couldn't have asked for a better meal. Everything we ordered exceeded expectations, and our server Bodie provided some of the best service we have ever had, anywhere.“

“One of my all-time favorite restaurants! Our meal did not disappoint. I love the blini with trout caviar, Caesar salad and other small plate specials. Cabezon offers a homey and inviting atmosphere with great service and a friendly vibe. I have never had a disappointing meal at this wonderful restaurant.“

“We were there for the first time on the evening of January 10, 2026. We sat at the bar for a bit because we were a little early for our reservation. Michelle brought us a couple of beers and we ordered a plate of six oysters. She chatted cheerfully with us while she busily poured drinks for others and then introduced us to her two sons and a son’s girlfriend, who all also work there. Everyone was so friendly and kind! When our table was ready, Michelle thanked us for being there and said that it was great to meet us. At our table, we ordered another half dozen oysters, a caesar salad, a couple more beers, and two big bowls of cioppino. Absolutely delicious with the large, thick slices of freshly-made garlic bread for dunking. This place is a true gem. Four generation of family working there and their love for the place and what they do shows. Can’t wait to go back!!“

“We were greeted warmly and sat at a wonderful window table. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful with all menu questions and made excellent recommendations. The crab & lobster dip plus fried calamari are among the best appetizers I've ever had. The prime rib and bucatini were such delicious entres, we unfortunately did not have room for dessert but will be back!“

“Been coming here my whole life! Still my favorite restaurant of all time, even after all this time!“

“We met some friends for dinner after not seeing them for some time. Kasia was our waitress. She was a delight. We stayed longer than normal, catching up with friends. She did a great job never saying its time for you to leave. Didn't interupt our dinner, just kept everything coming like it should“

“Seafood was delicious and very good service!“

“Had a great d be inner. Wonderful tasting food and great views.“

“Loved this place! Service ! Quality ! Ambiance!“

“quality local ingredients, meticulous preparation, disappointing balance in dishes.

seductively smoky, delicious fatty lamb was paired with really crispy crunchy yet soft potatoes and some clearly organic high quality seasonally harvested grilled spring onions. and that was it.

i was surprised and sad to find that my $40 entree had absolutely no acid apart from the slightly sheepishly out of place bottle of tabasco to balance the overwhelming richness of the flavors.

the gnocchi had a similar story where all the ingredients and preparations were top class but way too rich and unbalanced to finish satisfyingly.

the pannisa was actually cool but ultimately too dry. the seasonal bee pollen and local honey barely got noticed because of how much liquid i had to drink to be able to swallow the bite.

drinks were top notch, the salad that we were recommended was excellent and there was absolutely plenty more to like, but it was like someone put on a bunch of extremely high quality clothes but without any forethought of how the end outfit would look like. and almost as if he knew, the waiter never once even checked or asked how we liked the food or drink.

ultimately, it is undeniable that there is talent working the kitchen here and the owner cares about sourcing and using quality ingredients. the final detail to focus on would be making sure the elements come together to make all the effort more satisfyingly acknowledgeable.“

“Amazing food and service! Love love this place!!!“

“I recommend this restaurant, I'm coming from Seattle WA with my family and we went to eat there, very good food, good customer service, everything clean. I invite you to visit them, you will love it.“

“Absolutely amazing food but that wasn't even the best part. The service we were provided by Drew was phenomenal!! Drees kindness and awesome personality will have us coming back time and time again! Thank you Drew for being the best server ever!!“

“Tasty Corner is my favorite Chinese food place in Portland Oregon. Their prices are pretty reasonable considering the size the of the portions, and the vegetables are always very fresh. Try the Dry Cooked String Beans (by themself or with a protein) and the Eggplant with Fried Tofu. So good!“

“One of the greatest joys in visiting Portland for the first time is having excellent food and outstanding service; this place definitely deserves above 5 star rating and I’m grateful for the excellent service and food quality here . Connor was literally one of the best servers ever. Very professional, providing great hospitality and handsome for sure“

“Excellent food. Great staff. Very nice experience“

“delicious five stars I buy every time I see them open the lobster Mac and cheese us my favorite everything is delicious“

“Our first time and it was delish!“

“This restaurant is cool, clean and vibrant.
The server dude is good and kinda friendly, a bit off vibe. Provided everything to eat the crab and to stay clean.

We got the Combo C with Dungeness crab sided with garlic noodles, crab puffs and rice. It was only 2 of us but the amount was at least for 3-4 smaller eaters.

Food is good overall for what we've only tried. The crab puffs are okay, the dipping sauce it came with is not good, tangy ketchup or something. A Thai sweet chilli sauce would have been way better.

We will be back!“

“Great food, I like the shark fin soup, not sure if that's what its called but it's light and nice. The mapo tofu wasn't as spicy and quite bland but good texture. Go-to dish is the salt & pepper squid, the green beans, and hong kong style spare ribs!

I came in around 8 PM so there wasn't anyone besides one other table so it was not loud as usual. Been coming to this place with family for years, they don't disappoint. There can be a language barrier but the staff are very kind. They also offer oranges at the end.“

“My husband and I went to Ruth's Chris in downtown Portland for Happy Hour last week and we had an amazing experience because our server, Juston, provided 5-Star customer service. He was very kind, attentive, amiable, friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. I had been shopping downtown prior to dinner and I had some challenging experiences while shopping: a City of Portland meter maid was ticketing car after car after car that were parking along 4th, in front of Zara. I almost parked there myself...I live her and I was even confused by the fact that actually, cars couldn't park on that block. We want Portland to return to its vibrancy, yet, the City of Portland is ticketing people who are coming downtown to shop, dine and enjoy themselves. The City should instead by writing thank you notes and leaving them on people's cars, thanking them for investing in downtown. I shared this with Juston and he was so supportive and kind. He even gave my husband and I a complimentary glass of champagne for our troubles. It was a gesture that brought tears to my eyes and reinforced that there are wonderful signs of positivity in downtown Portland. Thank you, Juston!“

“we just went for the first time. great food, great service and great selection of food. we will definitely go back.“

“Amazing halibut and fries. The clam chowder is really something.“

“My friend and I were looking to see what to find to eat and we came across this place! And it looked like a pretty cool good looking affordable place! When you see a writing and white board, you know the food is going to be good! And we were right! We ordered nachos and MAAAAN best nachos I ever had. Or maybe because we had drank but even then they were so good! You can tell they friend the tortillas! I’m not a guac person but their guac was so good! They did not disappoint at all! So good! I will be coming here more often after a Friday or Saturday night! W mi gente 🇲🇽“

“We showed up absolutely drenched after doing the river tour nearby. It was an easy walk from the dock, and we really appreciated that it was so close. The pizza was solid, service helpful, and beers overall great. We literally were warming ourselves in the direct sun while eating pizza and drinking beer - had a great time.“

“Encantada mis amigas y yo fuimos a celebrar el día de las madres y quedamos maravilladas,personal super agradable,ambiente acogedor y una rica comida,de 10 le doy 20 super recomendado y volveremos pronto,todo un show expectacular“

“We were visiting from out of state and went into the restaurant for lunch. Service was wonderful. I'm not sure if it was the owner that greeted us, but a much older gentleman definitely welcomed our big group and accommodated a round table to fit our group. We ordered plenty and the food came out fresh, hot and delicious. I had the intestine dried pot stir fry and it was tasty. I tried other dishes that were on my table as well and everything was on point! If I visit Portland again, I'll definitely stop by the restaurant for another round. Kudos to the older gentleman that kept checking in with our group and made sure we had everything we needed. Sir, thank you and keep up the great customer service you and your team are doing! Thanks to the cooks for making such a memorable flavor! I'm telling people I know about this restaurant. I hope you don't mind the business. :) God Bless! Have a wonderful day.“

“I love City Thai soooo much!! Hands down my favorite Thai food in the city. Always good, always fresh, always smiling faces! I just got my 42nd order (just guessing) to-go and it's just as good as the first!! Do yourself a favor, and order the 'Oh My God Rolls' you can thank me later ;)“

“Best hidden gem restaurant! The owner/waitress is so friendly and the food is amazing! I work close and I come for the lunch specials a couple times a week!“

“Sho is our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. Katsu and his team are awesome.“

“The friendliest warm atmosphere. The menu delivers on all the fresh Thai comfort foods. This is the spot for an informal date night before a movie, or catching up with friends, or simply grab and go to relax at home. Thank you Thai cottage for being a new St Johns favorite.“
