“What a lovely place! A perfect spot for a cozy lunch on a blustery day. And the food was fantastic, mushroom soup, chicken pot pie, truffle fries (amazing), and creme brulee for dessert. It's so easy to get there, we'll be back soon!“

“5/5 stars!

Decibel exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was electric. The all-vinyl music selection created a warm, intimate vibe that made me not want to leave, even when I was full. A true gem for dining and music enthusiasts.“

“Dead shot was an amazing experience. The point of the pallet is to set the tone and let the masters decide your fate. You won't be disappointed, humbled and ready for my next visit.“

“Great live music here!!!!“

“My second time here, both visits were impeccable vibes, drinks, and food. Between the two visits I’ve had five things off the menu and three of the cocktails, and I was ecstatic about all of them.

Our go to place is Lift Off Lounge 🍸 in NE, and Double Dragon is its tropical cousin. We would be coming here all the time if we lived in SE!“

“all I can think saying is it’s delicious every spoonful come out and have some …delicious I promise“

“Wildfire and apple cider is so good. Had to buy a case.“

“The food, the cocktails are great along with the staff. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.“

“The bar tender went out of his way to help me. My car has a wind break that covers the back seat. I took the piece out of the car and he stored it for me so I would not have to go back to the room. Then we were late getting back from dinner, he stayed until we got back. As expected from the Crown Plaza. The best service.“

“Love this place. We've been a few times and both the drinks and desserts are so so delicious! Recommend reservations but not required. Seating is a little tight for larger parties, but I've seen them make it work. Ideal for parties of 2-3.“

“One of the chillest Foxy's around! Good vibes, awesome workers, great prices on drinks and smokes. If you need a more relaxed night than what most pubs can offer, then this is your spot. They have an awesome lounge area that is hardly ever used so it's always an awesome choice. Definitely give them a look cause they are so much more than what you expect a gambling den to be.“

“The food at Mestizo is fantastic. Great customer service, creative drinks, and as a bonus, everything is gluten and soy free.“

“☺️ Husband took me here for date night last weekend and it was a lovely time. Our server was so helpful and friendly, the food was tasty and we had plenty of time to chat and enjoy each other's company. Thank you!“

“I can't stop thinking about the celery salad and the warm olives“

“My husband and I ate at Palomar Recently and really enjoyed the ambiance The service and the food. We will make it a point to go again soon and I really look forward to it.“

“Lovely spot, lovely food, lovely people.“

“I love this place! I could get a cup of coffee anywhere but this shop has become more than just great food and drinks - it’s a place for neighbors to gather and the owners have fully invested themselves in our community. Love the breakfast sandwiches, my daily coffee and Friday evenings on their back lawn with a beer and friends!“

“I've. eaten all over Southeast Asia including street amrt I've eaten at many Southeast Asian restaurants, including in Cambodia, Malaysia and Laos, and can unequivocally say this is one of the best meals I've ever had. Starters to dessert, the food was unique, inspired and full of multiple flavors. Bravo and five stars!“

“Friendly service with a great atmosphere. I absolutely loved the salmon dinner, and the drinks are top notch. Thank you De Fuego Grille. See you again soon.“

“Food! Service! Atmosphere! And Feeling the immediate homey comfort by staff and customers, was just what two weary travelers needed. Met our niece there for breakfast and totally a joy of a cross country trip. Have been in many places across the U S A; and this one is one of major memorable treats. BTW my niece talked me into to trying your Fabulous (Homemade) Green Monster Sauce on my egg omelette and I havent stopped talking or looking for a duplicate since visiting Portland and I live in Ohio! If any one is reading this as a world traveler, believe me when I tell you If you live, or travel in this area, you gotta treat yourself to one of their fabulous stomach filing delicious entries. Really!. Bravo, I never write any kind of reviews in the possitive, I'm old, so I bitch alot. HAHA; But this place so worth the time, the price and contributing to a small family business. Which I totlally look for in any area I visit. I totally believe in supporting family owned local businesses...not the big Guys! Bravo Midpoint. If I lived in the area you'd know me by name as a regular! God Bless. And hope this will inspire the owner into marketing her Green Monster Sauce. One of the best out there. A lady who lives by the Road Less Traveled. Toni Angelo Nackino, Youngstown, Ohio“

“Friendly fun staff. Great beverages and food. Nice vibe.“

“Best bar in SE! Those Andrews took the best care of us with phenomenal craft cocktail & delicious food. Thanks for the great evening from me and the wife 😘💗😘“

“We are so impressed with this restaurant, it’ll be our new Thursday night date night spot!
We enjoyed the ambiance greatly, were delighted by all 8 dishes we got, and loved the service.
My husband ordered the Old Fashioned Cocktail and the Bar Manager came out to introduce himself and tell us more about what makes it so special. He actually works with a local distillery to create the drink and bottle it. It was so good we ordered 2 and then went to the store down the street to buy our own bottle!

The small plates are incredible, and from 5-6 each night you can get a little 2-person sampler of all of them for only $38! Best deal in town! And then if you’re hungry, the steak was cooked PERFECTLY.

We couldn’t decide on a dessert so we ordered both!! Glad we did.“

“Get to Stumptown and try it!!“

“I love this place. It is in my neighborhood, so it's becoming one of my go-to local watering holes. The food has been excellent and they offer a lot of variety. Great list of beers, too. It is a pub food joint so it is loud and there are lots of TVs with sports on...which is awesome.

Parking: I never had a problem finding parking unless there was a football game at the high school.“

“Travel the world through cased meat! BEST“

“What a great addition to the neighborhood!

A place to get a proper cocktail in our village. Everything we tried we loved & their namesake drink “the Gibson” is highly recommended.

Ambience & quality all 10/10 stars“

“The food is really good and everything is well priced, but the service is non-existent. The one female bartender seemed irritated with us when we walked in. We sat at a table and ordered the food from the QR code. We also got our own water which I'm fine with. But other than bringing over the one n/a drink I ordered, neither bartender checked on us or asked how our food was. We got two salads and two sandwiches so plenty of time to check on us. The only interaction we had was with the male bartender who waa much nicer and brought our sandwiches, but still never checked in. When you close your check on your phone it defaults to 25%. For what? Why would I leave 25% for someone who didn't even speak with me and when Imt doing pretty much half the work myself? 25% is a full service restaurant gratuity and honestly If they interacted with us even a little bit I would have been fine with that. The kitchen staff brought our first food round out and they were very nice. We came in on a Friday night and it was pretty empty, (us at a table and a couple people at the bar), so it is not like they were too busy to engage. I have been here once before and it was a much better experience so not writing this place off, but tonights experience was sub par. Food was bomb though.“

“Awesome food, delicious drinks and the staff are kind and gracious.“

“Alpenrausch is a charming gem, perfect for a cozy evening. Their fondue is simply exquisite—rich, creamy, and indulgent, served with the tastiest accompaniments. It's a must-try for anyone seeking an authentic Alpine dining experience.“

“Swung in tonight to check it out! Double high fives! Great food, service and space!! Jalapeño poppers 🥳🥳 Sellwood roll🥰 sake 🌟 tap Kirin🔥 Definitely give it a try!“

“Definitely the cheapest Jello Shots in town but I think they might also be the best. $1.50 a pop with flavors like Strawberry Shortcake, Pink Starburst, Margarita, and Cherry. Each one made with different liquor.

A couple of tvs showing sports or whatever you ask for.

The shopping center also has some amazing food if you take a look around!“

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

“Great atmosphere and food. The covered seating with fire pit and table heaters were a big plus. Bartenders inside were very friendly with a great selection of beers and cocktails. Yummy assortment of carts to choose from.“

“The environment was absolutely fine. Nothing too fancy but absolutely not junky. The waitress was kind. But the food was absolutely amazing! So delicious. Came really quickly nice and hot such a huge portion size that our lunch also became our dinner. Five stars for sure“

“We absolutely loved having our 55-person wedding at Bar Carlo. The owner Mel is at the same time very supportive and very low-key, which made for a smooth planning process and day-of event. The space is gorgeous, and has multiple connected wings, which allowed for the the party to morph seamlessly over the night from barside cocktail hour to outdoor patio ceremony to dinner buffet to dance floor. The space is already a beautifully decorated artwork, and Mel lets you decide how to arrange the space for your event, but you can also bring your own decorations/sound system/llama and she can handle those additions easily. The food and drinks were delicious too, and Mel was able to accommodate our entirely vegan and gluten-free menu without hesitation. Overall we loved the unique-ness, flexibility and good vibes of the space and the people of Bar Carlo, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cute and fun space for their wedding or other event. -Nicola & Lou“

“I ate at Verde Cocina en la Perla while at a work conferencein Portland, Oregon. The food was so delicious that I build my entire birthday around eating there! I live in Olympia, Washington. It is over an hour drive but I will keep doing it every few months. I had Arro as my bartender and server both times. He treats you like FAMILY, and this place IS family owned. I even was introduced to the creator of the Horchata French Toast dish. It is so good I cry happy tears thinking about it. Please visit for brunch and order it, you will NOT be sad about it. I don't even use syrup on the French toast, because the Horchata sauce is so so good on its own. The chillequilles are so so good with eggs OR tofu. Arro was awesome in helping us select desserts...the flan is so dang good, and it is #vegan! My wife and I are #vegetarian, but when I went with a coworker, he said that the meat dishes are "fire." I had a drink both times, first was the mango margarita. Tastes fresh and delicious! Had the perfect amount of tequila but tasted like juice...😈 I have also ordered the Paloma. I can't tell which one is my favorite!!! Anyways, do yourself a favor and order. Trust me.“

“The buttermilk fried chicken over garlic mashed potatoes and bacon collard greens. Woof! Delicious! Great line up of PNW beers and cocktails as well.“

“If you are looking for hand crafted chocolates, this is the place to go. Just incredible!“

“A great bar with good food, pool tables, and good service. I highly recommend grabbing a drink and some food here!“

“This is some of the only great and authentic Mexican food in the Portland area. I’m from California and have been struggling to find a *real* taqueria that doesn’t water down their salsa and doesn’t have brussel sprouts on the menu. Their Rajas Quesadilla is bomb af. 10/10 would recommend!“

“I literally live here, please bring bread, leave at back door, quack.“

“Holy 5-alarm fire! I got the Fusiili ala Vodka, which I know is supposed to have some heat, but this one —- it’s like the cap fell off the jar of chili flakes! I still loved it - the pasta was perfectly cooked, the pork shoulder was bursting with great spices, but I was still facially sweating through the whole meal. We got their Caesar salad too, which was excellent, not too much dressing and just the right amount of anchovies. The real deal, and helped cool off my lips.
Grassa has their counter service food model down pat, and the meals come out fairly quick, fresh and hot, so thumbs up there. Service is up and down, depending on how slammed they are, but I give them a pass since they do do aLOT of takeout orders and are not meant to be table service. Love that they have beer, wine and some cocktails too.
This location works well for all the reasons stated above, but we often get our food to go — the ambiance here is not that great. Strip-mall -modern-meets industrial in a cold, cavernous space does not make you want to linger. No thanks.“

“We had the pleasure of dining here last night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was exceptional—easily five stars—and the service was flawless from start to finish. The only drawback was the ambient noise level, which made conversation challenging for our party of four. We often found ourselves repeating remarks just to be heard. A subtle addition of white noise might help balance the acoustics and elevate the overall atmosphere. That said, the quality of the meal and service ensures we’ll be back.“

“I ordered the 4 horseman as Test of constitution and vitality .
Once I got the drink I very quickly realized the Malort had been left out in all actuality.

I thought this may have been in an attempt to save my soul and didn’t want to bother the staff.
But I found out from another that it had run dry and the last bartender had left it out on my behalf.

Three horseman…I missed fourth.
I will wonder what I have missed forever henceforth.“
