“Highly would recommend. That sums up the experience. The owner behind the counter is a gentleman. He knew his taps like the back of his hand. He was of the upmost polite despite my "ignorance". This place is welcoming. Now the taste of the beer on tap, #10 was good for a wheat beer. There are many options here for all enthusiast or people looking for whatever their pallet is keen to.“
“I wish I could give the Atmosphere 10 stars. This place is such a vibe. This spot was recommended so I stopped in to try to get my brewery’s beer on draft, and I chatted with Mattias (sp?) the bartender. But absolutely love the cozy atmosphere, the music, the fireplace on one tv and ski videos on another. I can tell the backyard must be a hit in summer! Can’t wait to come back.“
“Had a wonderful dinner here the other day! We sat at the bar & was met with exceptional service from the bartender. He made sure we were taken cared of & not forgotten. The Bloody Mary he whipped up was delicious! The pasta I got was also great & so were the fried pickle spears(seasonal menu item). My bf got the burger & he said it was good. Great place for a lil date night or a girls night!“
“Love this place! I stopped in yesterday on my way to the post office. Great selection of local wines and the prices were very good. Jill, the owner, is delightful and has a robust knowledge of the wine landscape in our region that doesn't just include Pinot Noir. They are open for tastings and a bottle shop! There's ample parking as well. Please visit so this place sticks around!“
“I had lunch there yesterday with a friend and it was beyond our expectations. The food was delicious, and the portions were huge. We ordered the shrimp ceviche and steak fajitas and had leftovers enough for another meal. Also, the staff was pleasant and Betty, who is part of the Margarita Factory family, who gracious and took the time to talk with us. I would definitely urge anybody to visit this beautiful restaurant! I've already planned a girl's night-out there next week... can't wait! (also, the happy hour has amazing deals)“
“Honestly was the best steak house I’ve been to… I liked how the waiter explained the whole process to the table, gave great recommendations & the chef gave us a free soup sample. All the food was 5/5 stars. Best steak & pork chop hands down.“
“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.“
“From start to finish our experience here was perfect. The staff are so friendly and focused you will never be without anything you need. The food is beyond delicious and the presentation is beautiful. They are able to but together flavors that you would never think would work, and then wonder why you haven't been eating these combos your entire life. I woke up still dreaming of the food. And as a bonus they are a women owned business.“
“Such a great restaurant! My wife had recently been put on a gluten and dairy free exclusion diet and they were able to accommodate and everything was still absolutely delicious. Service is phenomenal and it’s a really beautiful restaurant.“
“Fantastic! I want to give myself 5 stars for finding this place :-)Food is top notch, wine selection and recommendations are top notch, the passion that goes into service is top notch, …We had a memorable dining experience here. Thank you!“
“I was blown away by this place. Everything we ate was exceptional. It’s so cute inside and the servers are very nice. We got the Spanish charcuterie board and the octopus small plate. They even brought us out 4 pieces of the best focaccia bread in the entire world!! After the bread and the charcuterie board we were both very satisfied, but decided to get the octopus anyways because it sounded so good. And we were SO glad we did. Cannot wait to come back.“
“Super cool snack store with some very interesting and creative sundaes ? it’s a perfect dessert place after a meal at nearby restaurants or bars.We got the cheese and crack sundaes with a marshmallow on top. Super good and we can barely finish it ?“
“So far we have visited twice and have had a lovely experience each time. We have sat at the upstairs Le Clos each time, we like the indoor/outdoor feel. The vibe is pretty chill with soft lighting and heaters, perfect for a first or second or 100th date. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, we've had wonderful conversations each time, and the wine options are great. The Wineman's Choice is a great option for those who are looking to explore and you can choose between red or white, you won't be disappointed. When it comes to the grilled cheese, the Oregonian is a great choice. Cheers!“
“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!“
“Such a delicious, well proportioned, and complete sandwich. My second time coming back and every menu item I’ve tried so far has been great.Interior is clean and cozy.Hours are a bit funky otherwise I’d probably frequent much more often. It’s important to remember this is a butcher shop first and foremost - we’re just lucky enough that they happen to serve great sandwiches on the side.“
“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.“
“We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and what a treat! Our server was phenomenal and helped us make great choices for amazing food + wine pairings. The chef also accommodated my food allergies with ease. Highly recommend! We plan to return very soon.“
“My partner and I come here every now and again, the server Tia is always so friendly and patient with us while figuring out our drinks and the comedy shows on Thursday nights are hands down the best and most well curated “underground” comedy in Portland. 10/10 would recommend if looking for a great taproom.“
“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 “
“Quaint little wine shop/bar located in SE Portland. There's probably 3 little tables and bar seating. They also have a menu for small bites. Perfect place if you don't like crowded bars and are trying to go for a more quiet environment.“
“My wife and I had a fantastic brunch at Ovation. Try the Bloody Mary - delicious! I had the Eggs Benedict and my wife had the Pancakes. Both were expertly prepared. Romano has created a cute comfortable café experience where he treats his guests like family. We enjoyed the great meal and the experience and we'll definitely be back.“
“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 “
“Most tender, well flavored chicken I’ve eaten. Delicious! The white meat was unbelievably moist and the skin crisp and delightfully smoky. Simple presentation that was perfect for my in things being an unostentatious. Beet and grapefruit salad was a wonderfully surprising combination of flavors. We had a half order each of the potatoes and sweet potatoes to round everything off. Wonderful comfort food and my favorite place to go with my best friends.“
“Just recently I discovered Syndicate. Not only are the owners and staff friendly, but the ambiance is warm and welcoming. What I love about this place is the wines are carefully selected from various countries with which are for sale in the front of their establishment. They have a really great membership program with different pricing. They also host quite a few events. Their food is fantastic and my favorite dish is the bruschetta with brie. It's been great getting to know the peeps that work there and I'm having so much fun introducing my friends to this place.“
“We had a magical time celebrating our adult son's birthday. The service was at the next level, the food was delicious, and the space and ambiance were so comfortable. The wine list gave us some great options as well. Highly recommend this place.“
“Go here for an authentic old school Japanese sushi house experience! Ingredients are top notch. With specials featuring the best of the catch. I look forward to going back with a large group. And straying a bit further off of the standard items.“
“Best hidden gem of a wine bar in North Portland. Cozy, comfy space.Half glasses available and great variety. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful in navigating your wine journey. Cocktails available if wines are not your thing. Small bites to complete your tasting. Take away bottles are available.Absolutely love Gilded Raccoon!“
“first time here and i really love this place, it has such a welcoming vibe. the staff is knowledgeable of their wines, friendly and nice. You can tell the owner really puts in the effort for the ambience of a this wine shop. At the entrance there are multiple games you can chose from to enjoy your time. I will be coming back again. My advice is just take your coat off and stay awhile.“

“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!“
“Great rooftop. A bit chilly but really nice views. The waiter could have explained a bit more in depth about the different wines. It's like they expect you to know everything about the wine already even though you're ordering flights. Could explain a bit more while we taste, and that way you know what to order. But great atmosphere, vibes, and choices overall“
“I'm not a huge pizza fan, and coming from Chicago, I have a lot of deep dish experience, so was somewhat skeptical. But Ranch was close by and had good reviews so we tried it. We got the Four and I was a Ranch Pizza fan with the first bite. That crunchy cheesy edge and the combo of a great sausage, peppers and fresh mozzarella won me over. The quality of the toppings makes a huge difference. Don't tell my birthplace, but I'm a Detroit pizza lover now, but not from just anywhere, it's gotta be from Ranch Pizza!“
“I walked into Stem the day I moved into my building which is conveniently next door. Chris immediately made an environment where I knew this was going to be my Livingroom. So I've been going here since I moved here two years ago. Morgan! My favorite Sommelier has taught me soooo much about the beauty of wine and has always suggested everything perfected to my taste. Eliza became a fast friend while we discussed all the wine. I am in awe every day watching her pour out a red and white wine flight on the same tray and know where she positioned them so she could provide the info of each wine as she presented it. I have been SO impressed by the vibe that has been created and maintained over the years. Ever wanna have a glass of good wine in your jammies before bed? This is the place. Oh yeah, it's obviously an amazing date spot. Please come so I can eavesdrop.“
“Had to flag a waiter down multiple times to order drinks then food then another drink and finally bill. Each time I had to wave my hand and call out loudly Excuse me, as waiters walked by avoiding eye contact with at least our corner of the bar. Food was good.“
“Totally lucked out on this one with a friend as we were walking over to a different bar "Hey! This place looks cute, let's check this out instead!" OK. Cute is an understatement. It's positively gorgeous inside. The people are super nice, the wine's fantastic, and the yellowtail toast is seriously one of the tastiest things I've eaten this year. We lucked out and happened to be walking by right when there were some free seats at the bar, but if you have to wait? It's seriously worth it!“
“This is one of those reliable, reasonably priced, delightful places to dine. Service was the best. Recommendations were appreciated with spot on wine pairings. The cacio pepe was delicious!! As was the rock fish & broccolini. I enjoy the mushroom bruschetta every time. It is my favorite. Aria gin Martini was perfect. All desserts were great. We tried 4. The pot de cream really shown. Only negative was the bread. Maybe stale. Or maybe just not the best. Hard with little flavor. But otherwise, wonderful!!“
“Stopped in while staying in Portland for a few days and found this treasure. We had a happy hour glass and came back the next day for 4 bottles. Jeffery gave excellent recommendations and was clearly loved by the local regulars. We will certainly return on our next trip. Thanks Jeffery!“
“1000 stars. Definitely our local. Always take friends from out of town - everyone falls in love with it like we did the first time. Christopher, Kai and Arlan have become family. Oh, and try wine list is spectacular as are the snacks ❤️❤️“
“Love this place! The by-the-glass list is ever-changing and never boring. All the ciders & wines I’ve tasted there have been smashable, and the owner is a great guy. They also have an awesome selection of fun ciders and wines by the bottle so you’ll never get bored.“
“So this one time, I was on a road trip. I stopped in at a casino, and I put $20 in the slot machine. After a few spins, I was feeling lucky, and I hit “max bet”.Turns out it was perfect timing because I hit the bonus on the next spin. I ended up walking out with $180.Fast forward to when I was heading home on the same trip- I stopped for gas, and decided to spend $2 on a scratch off. I ended up winning $20.I took a chance on something small, but with mighty potential, and it paid off. Twice.That’s what kind of place this is. Stop by, take a chance, and see what happens.The wine is excellent, and the staff is so incredible that they are now friends of mine.If you’re looking for a new spot to try, this is it.“
“What a lovely establishment with beautiful details and a welcoming and inviting vibe. From the chocolates on the counter to the carefully chosen tins of fish, to the friendly bartender and the delightful rose. Bar Botellon is a gem, where they really make you feel like you're the only customer in the place. This is my new favorite stop for a glass of wine and some delicious handmade tapas (try the marinated cheese and the sardines!!!!!!) I will be back!“
“My fiancé and I hosted our wedding proposal at Enso Winery and we couldn't be happier. Ryan was extremely accommodating and organized during the planning process and helpful on the day of the event. Between the venue, wine, and charcuterie, all of our guests left impressed and happy. Definitely won't be a stranger to Enso!“
“Great pho with better than most cuts of meat. My wife got the pad thai and said she enjoyed it very much. Would recommend to friends. They were also very nice to my 2.5 year old daughter and were considerate enough to bring a small bowl for her to share some of our food with.“
“We finally checked out this lovely bar on Saturday night and I can say it is as inviting inside as it looks from the sidewalk. We've walked by a few times and heard the great music and peered in and I'm so glad we decided to step inside. The bar smelled incredible because they were making their housemade limoncello. We sat near the bar and enjoyed a nicely-made Manhattan, glass of red wine, crispy melty mozzarella sticks, and a very yummy burger and fries. Everyone was friendly and the ambience is perfect. It was dark but warm, full of plants and fun lighting. The disco rhino over the restroom door made us giggle. We will definitely return soon. 6 stars!“
“This is the BEST COFFEE SHOP in all of Portland!AMAZING drinks, decor & ambiance, soft classy music you'll almost want to dance to on the open floor, separate cool table areas, loads of privacy -distanced sitting areas, SHUFFLE BOARD, all the flavors for coffee, I think that's a business catering area room.. business classy yet also CASUAL!“

“Super cute and inviting tasting room. Wines were fabulous! When we entered, Barbara came out from behind the counter to greet us at the door and welcome us. What a special touch that set the tone for the experience. The tasting room offers both indoor and outdoor seating (front and back patios). The 2016 Reserve Pinot Noir is exceptionally pleasant. The wine club options are very reasonable (surprisingly reasonable for the quality we experienced - so much so that we joined)! Pay them a visit; you’ll be glad you did.“
“Bar Rione is a lovely wine bar next door to Piazza Italia, an authentic Italian, tasty, affordable food with classic Italian service and beautiful wine selection. Friendly, clean, and happy environment for great food. Annually, the put on a Truffle Dinner with a guest chef from Italy who brings black truffles for the meal. Special event with special people.“

“Very sweet small bar tucked away in a cozy alley. The service was fantastic-got my party of two seated quickly even though we didn’t have a reservation on a Friday. The drinks were great as well as the oysters but the octopus I ordered bordered on being too salty.“
“This is quite a little gem. Lots of wine and beer on tap. We went on a Saturday night and it was full but still chill. Very neighborhood feel despite being in a strip mall. We got the scallops and gnocchi with crab. Both dishes were delicious and the focaccia was excellent too. Highly recommend.“
“Such great service. It was pi day and they served pie so of course we had to get some. It is rare for any bars to serve a sweet treat at least in the area I live in. I love that they had three options. Perfectly decorated wine bar with an upstairs loft area.“
“I came to Hops on Tap to see a band perform. As a concert venue, Hops on Tap does a great job! The band sets up in a large area in one of the "main corners" of the venue, and all tables have a good view. The interior is also very brightly-lit, which is appreciated. There are shelves with lots of board and card games, and several patrons come regularly to enjoy music and play games. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and you may see a radio-controlled R2D2 make an appearance at the end of the night. Food is serviceable, but is nothing noteworthy. The soft pretzel is clearly a SuperPretzel, and a lot of what's on the menu, and things like napkins, etc. appear to come from Costco. Not that there's anything wrong with this, of course, and I'll probably opt for something different than a sandwich on my next visit (perhaps their "scratch-made" soup). I was very happy that Hops on Tap offers Kombucha on-tap as well. Parking is very simple as Hops on Tap is in a very large shopping center with its own equally large parking lot. If you want a good place to see live music, Hops on Tap fits the bill nicely!“
