“No exaggeration - THE BEST SOURDOUGH CRUST PIZZA. Some places say they have it, this place actually lets you taste it. It’s strong and punchy and I cannot wait to get more.
We had a very romantic albeit cozy dinner before a movie next door. We were lucky to score a table on a Saturday evening and have the most fun server! The special was super unique, featuring grilled peaches & prosciutto. We omitted the meat for my vegetarian husband, but next time, I’d recommend any vegetarian sub it for something salty to balance the sweetness.”
“Dinner was amazing. Staff was amazing. just AMAZING. My son took me as a surprise while visiting him from FL. Thank you for making this moment for us. 5 star!”
“It was delicious!!! Rabbit, foie gras, pigs feet, escargot, halibut, eel, scallops, all the fancy sauces….SOOO good!! Every bite was just perfectly executed. The staff was so friendly and engaging which made it really fun to sit at the chef’s counter!”
“Great experience. Had the bread and butter, duck confit, and orange cake. Duck confit was not super warm when served which was the only downside. However it fell apart, was flavorful, and had crispy skin like it should - so it was still very good... just wish it'd been warmer. The orange cake is delicious. The caramelized torched top gives it a crack and nice structure. Everything was well presented. Outstanding kitchen staff attention to detail. Server was lovely - non intrusive but very attentive. The server also provided other restaurant recommendations for my stay in Portland. The setting itself is also lovely. It's intimate but quiet. Would come back - great food and experience.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“We enjoyed a fun dinner at Lilia Comedor! We appreciated how spices were infused into the innovative Mexican dishes. We chose the Chef’s Dinner which gave us an appreciation for the chef’s creativeness. Loved every bite. Pacing of the meal was just right. The staff were super friendly and also enthusiastic about the restaurant’s cuisine. Would highly recommend if you desire an innovative, colorful, and flavorful dining experience.”
“One of the absolute best restaurants in Portland. Everything is delicious and absolute perfection. Farro pie, agnoloti with chard and tagliatelle with ragu are our favorites. Note There is almost always a wait bc it’s a small place. There is a cute wine bar next door where you can get a glass and appetizer while you wait. We love Luce!”
“I went to this place for me and my partners anniversary. I have never been and neither had he. The experience was top notch! I came in and the waiter said he was going to change my life and he did just that. I also had a gift card that had a generous balance and I was so impressed with the service and food that I was embarrassed to use it so I paid out of my own pocket. Best tapas in Portland hands down! My partner usually is the one who picks places because I’m bad at it and he was also incredibly impressed with me and my choice to try Urdaneta!”

“Authentic and delicious Greek/Cretan cuisine! Lamb is cooked perfectly. Orzo instead of rice is a great feature. Great staff and nice atmosphere. Dined with a person a Crete descent… she loved it!”
“I've been "hooked" since 1999. Always Charming Staff,Great Food. Using Top Notch Ingredients !!”
“A friend who is a noted chef recommended TarTuca. When it comes to beverages, TarTuca focuses on wine but they offer several craft cocktails and effortlessly handle off menu requests. For starters we had the lamb meatballs. My chef friend raved about the focaccia so we ordered that as well.
I chose the tagliatelle because I can't resist wild boar pasta. My wife went with the radiatori.
Our evening at Tartuga was really enjoyable. We loved the vibe of the place. The music was wonderful. The staff was very supportive and great. Our cocktails were very good. We enjoyed them.
I was going to pass on the focaccia bread because it was $9, but my friend said it was amazing. So we had to try it and I'm so glad we did because it ended up being the most fun thing of the night for me.
The wife wanted to try the lamb meatballs and they were better than I expected. Pastas were really good.
The wild boar pasta was like $34. My wife's pasta was like $27. I think hers is a much better bang for the buck. In fact, if I could wave my magic wand, I'd have her pasta and just add wild boar to it.
All in all, I think TarTuca is a really good joint. Check it out.”
“Great service , amazing staff. Pizza the best in Portland”
“Delicious food!!! Thank you!”
“Easy Over Bar and Breakfast is definitely worth a visit! I had an excellent dine-in breakfast, and everything was fresh, delicious, and prepared just right. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere made for a great start to the day.
I also ordered food to go, and it was just as good—fresh, tasty, and packaged perfectly. It’s great to find a place that delivers a consistently excellent experience whether you dine in or take your meal with you.
Highly recommend Easy Over Bar and Breakfast for a delicious breakfast and great service! l will definitely be back!”
“Decent food with local ingredients. Subpar to average service. I got the spiced apple waffle. The waffle was really good with a nice fluffy interior and a mellow sweetness. The apples and whipped cream were wonderful. There were chunks of flour and brown sugar in the apple which was interesting but not offputting. I wish I got more caramel on top. The downside is the service. It took about 12 minutes to get 1 waffle and the employee was only working on 1 thing at a time. Someone before me got an order of 3 drinks and I saw 1 get made about every 4 minutes. I probably wouldn't go again based on price and service but the waffle was definitely good!”
“I always feel welcome in this space with the regulars. Drinks are great and affordable. I ordered the chicken wings naked and they were delicious with the best Ranch dressing I have ever had. Obviously the chef is a Foodie. I highly recommend you stop by and give it a try.”
“My son and I ate dinner here on Tuesday evening, 10-01-24. The male waiter was unimpressive, and asked the young lady behind the bar to take us. I was freshly out of surgery and needed to eat something. She quickly moved us to a padded booth when I asked. She was very prompt and very courteous. An absolute sweetheart. She was professional with our orders and accommodating to our particular requests, mine especially, given the circumstances. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the rosemary chicken and a bland salad with cucumbers. The salad tasted fresh. The chicken was perfect. I would give 5 stars, but some of the other patrons seemed judgmental, and I was displeased with the young man who seemed offended by the couple of rural folks in the big city.”
“One of the best meals we've had in Portland. Did not have any expectations going into it and were surprised at how good everything was. Had the crudo, plantains, steak frites and khao sai. One of the best things they do here is ask about allergies firs thing and then took our menus to the chef and had him mark down the entire menu with what we could and could not eat--wish every single restaurant did this. Definitely will be back.”
“It was my first time experiencing Silk Road, and I had reasonably elevated hopes, and I was not disappointed at all. I came in shortly after they opened as a solo diner at the bar. The staff was engaging and knowledgeable and just fun to be around. The first drink I had was the special called “sour senate” and it was balanced, damn tasty and refreshing. The salt and pepper calamari was in of the more flavorful squid dishes I’ve had in a minute. I finished off with some General Tso’s chicken and a more boozy drink called “trust the next drink” which as a great finish to a day off wandering around Portland. I will absolutely be coming back soon.”
“Price is relatively low compared to other omakase in the area but that is no reflection on the quality. There definitely isn't as much wow factor as a place like Nodoguro, however, the chef here has a keen eye for seasonal fresh fish. I never imagined in a million years I would enjoy sardine nigiri but I still think of it months after and will return to seek more seasonal delights. The environment is quite laid-back but it isn't a bad thing. Chef isn't showy but is dedicated to his craft. Fantastic place!”

“Our first visit to No Saint and definitely not our last. Clean cool inside with just enough decor to make you feel a little fancy. A wall of wine to choose from, good music and great staff. We had olives and cherries, bread, wine, pizza and dessert. All of it felt special and intentional with a lot of thought and love in to each item. I recommend a visit. We got there right when they opened and got a table right away. They do take reservations and probably is suggested later in the evening.”

“Great options, their fried tofu (tao huu tod) was my favorite, crispy and dry in the best way. The potato dish (mon tod) was also a very good starter. Their salad is very well done and their vegan curry might be my favorite, very herbaceous and less coconut-y than most. The pad see ew was good but a little forgettable compared to everything else I’ve tried. I look forward to returning for lunch sometime and trying their fried rice, curry noodles and choi.”
“The service could not have been better! I forget our servers name which I feel so bad about but she was funny and very nice! The food, as always was to die for. The albacore, the noodles and chicken dish, and the black pepper shrimp were fabulous! Definitely don't skip dessert and 10/10 drinks! The coconut shake was phenomenal.”
“We sat at the bar and loved the atmosphere… service was superb (thank you Nick) and the food delicious”

“I stop here pretty regularly to get a quick lunch and never regret it. Recently got the diablo burger and my lord it was delicious and very spicy. One of the few day food places that generally still have someone standing at the register and don't just walk past you as if you aren't there for 10 minutes. Good job carls jr”
“So I haven’t had a problem at this location until the day and it’s not really a big problem. It’s just the guy running the drive-through talk so fast you can’t understand what he says and then he can’t understand what you say.
After I ordered my big Carls with a Sprite and some ranch dip to go with my combo when my order came out, he handed me the bag and said OK. Have a nice day and I’m like my sprite. After he finally gave me my sprite I leave go park somewhere to eat and there’s no ranch dressing for my fries. That kid needs to slow down, speak clearly and listen to what people are saying. I’d repeat my order to three times it’s not that difficult of an order. I almost forgot. He only gave me one napkin one and I got a double big Carls. You know how far that one napkins gonna go. You need to teach the kids how to run the drive-through”
“I have never been here before but I will be coming back. the lady at the counter was so happy and welcomed me, what you don't get too often anymore, also when I was leaving she said muchas gracias it made me laugh but also I will remember the experience. It's nice to see happy staff members no matter what time of day”
“One of the best brunch spots in Portland. Everything is high quality, and they even have delicious mocktails! The seasonal veggie hash was a clear winner for us. The fried chicken was so juicy and tender. Highly recommend- come early because it’s crowded and there’s always a line!!”

“INCREDIBLE! the mango lassi was delish & affordable. the butter chicken perfectly spiced, garlic naan so crispy and soft, and the samosa had a salty dust that was SO delicious. everything was fairly priced too!! Vinay was so kind and made me feel welcome! This place is worth every five star, theres a reason why there’s 1,000 of them!!”
“Wonderful coffee in a peaceful, simple ambiance. They are confident in the boldness of their roasting profiles and geographies, including beans sourced from various parts of Asia. I was treated with warmth and care - this was a very memorable experience and I will absolutely return each time I visit Portland.”
“Such interesting and delicious ice cream flavors! I had a split-flavor cone with an olive oil flavor as well as the delicious sea salt caramel. I had a taster of a strawberry balsamic vinegar which was great and my third choice (quite hard to choose). The staff were very nice to us. This location has some seats along a long open window to the street which contributes to the nice vibe.”
“Really enjoyed our first visit to this truly hidden gem. Have driven by it many tines and did not know it was there...what a pleasant surprise. The menu touched all the desired areas of italian cuisine... and dleivered iur choices perfectly. Right sized portions at fair prices. The services from both our server and busser were timely and unobtrusive. Will definitely be returning frequently. Great quiet and comfortable atmosphere”
“Show up hungry!! The prix fixe menu was excellent, but I was full by the time I got to dessert (100% on me, not the restaurant). The wine pairing was a great addition, with context/information provided for each wine by the bartender/sommelier :)”
“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.”
“The service could not have been better! I forget our servers name which I feel so bad about but she was funny and very nice! The food, as always was to die for.

“GET THE FRENCH TOAST!!! We had a great burger here last night and they server said to come back for breakfast because the French toast is phenomenal. We aren’t usually French toast people but we ordered it anyway. WOW! I am now French toast people. The service is always good and fast. Such a great spot. Highly recommend.”
“Wonderful food and a true mom and pop shop. It's a small and quaint restaurant, definitely reserve a table if you're planning to eat in. We went at dinner time and it was pretty busy. Waited about 20 minutes for take out and it was worth it! The wienerschnitzel sandwich was great and the cherry cheese pastry is so good!”
“Great restaurant, we go everytime we are in Portland. Great food, great ambience and wonderful staff. Plus an outstanding butcher shop”

“February 8th, 2026 menu & service was absolutely divine! Start to finish service and all staff present were absolutely charming and very attentive. Presentation was beautiful, the atmosphere felt very warm, cozy and inviting. Plates were absolutely stunning in all ways. The textures in each dish were just so perfect, exciting and unique. The flavors complimented each other so well and each course was perfectly balanced, flowing nicely into the next. Everything was absolutely perfect, the thrill of enjoying such technical yet plant based preperations genuinly brings tears of joy. Thank you so for so perfectly encapsulating the possibilities of plant based foods! 💚💚 We were happy to hear about the recipes staying and going from the menu, we couldn't agree more with the choices. The Kombucha pairings were magical. Meadowland was perfect. The respect payed to plants here, the absolutely mind blowing creativity that leaves you craving more, makes Astera stand out as a historical evolution for plant based flavor, technical creativity, creation, service and passion in the plant based realm in the U.S. Astera is heaven on earth. I cannot express enough gratitude for such a wonderful little spot, thank you for such tasty snacks!! We will be back very soon, hoping to experience the seasons with you!”
“Was in town for a work trip, decided to treat myself for my birthday and I couldn’t have picked a better place. I sat at the bar and Andrew painted a pretty picture of the culinary experience I was going to be embarking on and followed up with a great explanation of each dish as they came out. He whipped me up a delicious cocktail that paired wonderfully with my 12 courses. Such a delightful and delectable meal. This place definitely gets a 10/10 Highly recommend! Their menu changes every two months. They were accommodating to my allergies and very warm and inviting! They check off all of the boxes for me”
“Everything. This is not just going to dinner. This is a dining experience. It’s a small reserved venue. Yes it’s spendy, but worth every penny. You’ll try food you never thought you try. The mostly seafood menu it so well prepared. Plus you can watch the prepared each course. A fun night.”
“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”
“Cheapest prices in this country. Shots, beer, & bar food are priced 1980s. Take advantage of this place as long as it last. Wont be around much longer as it attracts borderline hobos & other folks that only come out at night. I absolutely love this sleezy but top spot preflight! 4 drinks limit.”
“Friendly staff, good food and portions, great long time neighborhood restaurant!”
“Their lamb Shawarma seasoned with, I believe, cardamom and other things, was the most astonishingly delicious meat I've ever eaten in my life. And it's in a very nice part of town!”

“Stayed in the Tabor area for a couple of weeks, and while there are so many great options nearby, we found ourselves coming back here again and again. The service was amazing. So friendly and welcoming! Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there and to share the food they love. The drunken noodles were my favorite, and the mango sticky rice was absolutely delicious. Definitely a place we’ll be thinking about!”
“My friend and I visit here every Friday evening. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. Especially Jason. He remembers regulars, and is very genuinely caring about the people he serves. The servers, including Lupita, are very prompt and nice. Your drinks never go empty! We prefer this location because it’s not only open until 10pm, but because we have had such pleasant experiences with the staff. Food is pretty darn good too! Fresh breakfast meats and French toast! Thank you!”

It was shaded by beautiful grapevines. The area was beautiful. The food was delicious. The service was helpful and kind. No complaints at all.
Upon asking if the grapes were real we were informed they were and were told we could try them. They were spectacular.”

“The food is always good. They had an octoberfest special. (Small plate and large plate). Had the small plate with the octoberfest sausage and it was awesome.

“Al Amir has been a family favorite for years. The owners know my parents, and our family are fairly regular. I honestly believe Al Amir is the absolute best Lebanese food in Portland. My husband and I just had them Cater our 10th wedding anniversary party, and everyone raves about the food. They were super generous with helping navigate our event. Please consider supporting this restaurant in catering your next event! Al Amir, much love to you all and I hope and pray your restaurant has great success, we look forward to ordering from you again. 🤟🏻🥰”

“Street disco has a cool vibe from the minute you walk in! The music, the welcome and the atmosphere were on point!
Our server had such a fun vibrant personality and was extremely knowledgeable! The plates are small so encouraged to share and recommended to order 10-12 plates for the five of us. My favorite plates were the snap pea salad and the carrots with lots of flavor and fun flavor profiles! Our table was extremely satisfied with all of our choices.
My only complaint was the literal two bites of Octopus, if I had realized that I would have ordered something different. The pork belly and meatballs were more of a satisfying portion
My only complaint was”

“Everything about this place is phenomenal. The food is so delicious. We tried several things off the menu and couldn’t decide what our favorite was. They were all that good. And the staff are on top of it! Friendly, helpful, and happy. And we had the most sensational cocktails ever! Highly highly highly recommend this place. Great vibe and energy too!”
“Excellent food, comfortable atmosphere. We really enjoyed our dinner and the flavors were marvelous!”
“So glad we found this restaurant, It is very small and parking is dicey but well worth it. The food is delicious and the wait staff is welcoming and friendly. The owner and chef came out to see how we enjoyed our meal. You must try to carmal custard. Will come again!”
“Teardrop Lounge in the Pearl District was a great spot to experience true mixology. The drinks are exceptionally well-crafted, creative, and packed with complex, vibrant flavors. Their menu is organized by flavor profile, making it easy to find a drink tailored to your taste.
The service can slow down a bit when the place fills up on busy weekend nights, but the quality of the cocktails can help make up for the wait.”
“I've been eating here since 2015 and ABSOLUTELY LOVE this place. Top notch sushi with a wonderful staff. This is my 1st choice place for sushi in Portland Oregon”
“Love love love this place. One a street where there has been a lot on construction changes and old buildings being torn down, this place has taken advantage of square footage in a home. Both covered and not covered outside seating areas. In door has a great bar! Customer Service is amazing, even when its busy. The Beer, fantastic! I tried all of them on tap. Bathrooms are large. Food was amazing! I highly recommend.”
“GET THE FRENCH TOAST!!! We had a great burger here last night and they server said to come back for breakfast because the French toast is phenomenal. We aren’t usually French toast people but we ordered it anyway. WOW! I am now French toast people. The service is always good and fast. Such a great spot. Highly recommend.”
“Had a fabulous dinner here! The venison special was better than any steak I’ve ever had, and dessert was just as incredible. A true gem worth supporting!”
“Best Samosa Chaat I’ve had! Vegan choices with tofu (I had Tofu Saag)! Only Indian food I’ve found with tofu as protein option in Portland. Great service. People care if you are enjoying food and if spice level is right for you. Covered outdoor seating was nice on summer evening. We will be back!”
“I’ve been here dozens and dozens of times — often with clients from out of state or overseas. EVERYONE loves this restaurant! Three time (that I know of) nationally recognized award winning restaurant. One of the famous national magazines rated it #2 vegan Italian restaurant in the country! (The best place in New York City came in 3rd!!!) You can greet most any customer and they will immediately smile and comment on how crazy good every dish is. The staff is extremely competent… especially when every table is taken and there is a brief waiting list… they stay happy, friendly, they don’t rush anyone… I have no idea how they stay so composed when the restaurant is hopping! The staff is always delightful. The owners are usually there working, smiling and friendly. That makes the experience even more special. I like being there for more than the food… the pleasure of the other customers even those new to the restaurant is contagious. The vibe is refueling of body and soul with charm and grace at the highest level. You will see. Have fun and enjoy! ❤️🙏🏻”
“This place has the best Texas style brisket of any bbq place I have tried in PDX. A great find!!”
“This hands down is one of my favorite restaurants in Portland OR. It the same quality of other top spots in the US like Nobu , O-Ya , and Morimoto . The location is perfect located in the Pearl district. The chefs are high quality and the fish is extremely fresh. They have a great but simple flavor approach. The service is warm, helpful, and appreciative. I always ask for Joy as she is a true professional and loves providing an exceptional experience on every visit.”
“This was the first visit, but there will be many, many more! We showed up and were told there’d be about a 10 min wait - which was fine! About 30 seconds later though, we had a seat and were looking at the menus! Service was excellent and kind. The food was so, so good! The portions were more than generous and the coffee was good! Can’t wait for our next visit!”
“Excellent real Italian flavors and presentation in a comfortable neighborhood location. All you can ask for Italian taste with pretense.”
“Just be prepared to wait, but they’ve done a great job of making the wait more pleasant with the beautiful art, tables outside and drinks. Don’t miss that amazing elderflower mimosa...🍹!”

“February 8th, 2026 menu & service was absolutely divine! Start to finish service and all staff present were absolutely charming and very attentive. Presentation was beautiful, the atmosphere felt very warm, cozy and inviting. Plates were absolutely stunning in all ways. The textures in each dish were just so perfect, exciting and unique. The flavors complimented each other so well and each course was perfectly balanced, flowing nicely into the next. Everything was absolutely perfect, the thrill of enjoying such technical yet plant based preperations genuinly brings tears of joy. Thank you so for so perfectly encapsulating the possibilities of plant based foods! 💚💚 We were happy to hear about the recipes staying and going from the menu, we couldn't agree more with the choices. The Kombucha pairings were magical. Meadowland was perfect. The respect payed to plants here, the absolutely mind blowing creativity that leaves you craving more, makes Astera stand out as a historical evolution for plant based flavor, technical creativity, creation, service and passion in the plant based realm in the U.S. Astera is heaven on earth. I cannot express enough gratitude for such a wonderful little spot, thank you for such tasty snacks!! We will be back very soon, hoping to experience the seasons with you!”
“Best food I've ever had if they ever have the old pork noodles as a special make sure to get it. The mushroom noodles, big dumpling, and tea leaf salad are AMAZING as well.”
“Delicious and beautiful food!!! I miss being able to eat at your restaurant because the atmosphere was always so relaxing and unique. Thanks for the amazing food and experience!”
“OMG! This was my first time here and Jason took care of us!! All my friends and I work in the industry and had no choice but to show up almost an hour before close. Jason made it such a memorable moment for my friends birthday. Will definitely be back again for Jason!!”
“Althea and her staff make dining at Bar Nouveau a joy. We went for brunch which was fantastic. The fromage biscuit sandwich was SO good. And the Bloody Mary just spicy enough. I feel the value is great too. 5 people for brunch, including drinks and a tip, the tab was $244.”
“Had a very special time with our group of five. Adam made the whole experience easy and fun!”
“I live in the Roseway Neighborhood, I have lived here for 14 years, and have loved every year. This Year, I am excited as many new dining options have appeared, and they are good. Parallel Food and Drink, is one of the best. I have been 4 times now, and am already looking forward to my next visit. The team is amazing, the wine is amazing, the food is amazing, and did I say the team is amazing? Run, don't walk, you won't regret a moment spent here.”

“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 lived in Tokyo, and have had great sushi. So has my brother who lived with me in Tokyo. He thinks Sinju sushi, omakase-style prepared by Alicio, is as good as any he's had. I hesitate to say that, but only because I'm more cautious. Alicio treated us right; the nigiri was great. This is a first class place run by a first class guy.”
“This is the best coffee shop I have found in the Woodstock Area!! The scones are amazing. I love the coffee. They serve on cute china. They don't have a tip section when paying with a card. The staff person assured me that they really have a living wage and health insurance. They do have a tip jar that some customers insist on. I don't usually carry cash.”
“Devils Food Catering alway amazes me. The food is out of this world. James and his team always put a little special spin on their food and it has you trying to guess what have they added to put a twist on a bean or fruit salad. The fried chicken is the best I have ever had!!! Let's talk potato salad.......one word the best!”
“My daughter and I went to Adelleda for brunch on Sunday and it was fabulous. Each item on the menu was so enticing we had a hard time choosing. The Honus Wagner, chicken and waffle style fried oyster mushrooms over waffles with truffle syrup, was incredible. Ultra crispy mushrooms paired so well with the syrup and waffles. The Bobby Bonilla beet pastrami sandwich was a many layered flavor bomb. Such a great play of textures and spices. And Mr. 350 was the best version of chilaquiles I have ever had. Better than any in Tucson. We got to sample brioche straight from the oven and are still dreaming about it. Slathered in house made vegan butter and, no shame, dunked in that truffle syrup. There Will Be Blood was a mighty fine Bloody Mary but the Pina Caliente blew my cocktail loving mind. Smokey from the mezcal, spicy and smooth as pineapple silk. Huge kudos to the mixologist!!! The atmosphere was lovely and chill and the service made us feel special. A real gem!!!!”
“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”

“I had a memorable dinner at Higgins Restaurant. I ordered their Oregon Mushroom Set Menu, and each dish reflected their respect for local ingredients. The wild mushroom bisque was particularly delicious, with a smooth texture and rich aroma. The waiter was very professional and attentive, explaining the background of each dish. The elegant yet relaxed atmosphere was perfect for a leisurely meal with friends or family.”

“So good. We had a vegan and celiac/gluten free person in our group, and had no problems eating here. The menu is small but every item is a hit. The flavors are unbelievable, and even the N/A cocktail I got was one of the best drinks I've had in a while. We will be back!”

“The high quality speciality coffee, and drinks really stand out on their own. But the lively atmosphere here, the modern aesthetics matched with friendly staff makes for a really memorable experience. It’s hard to stand out as a coffee shop these days, but I think this place does. I had no expectations at first but it’s in walking distance from my place and so I’m surprised it’s such a winner. They have these perfume like bottles where you can smell sample the coffee you want before you order it. I thought that was brilliant and fun!”
“We had questions about a few of their many exciting coffee drink offerings, and the owner/server kindly suggested one he thought we’d like. His recommendation (a toasted sesame option) was spot on! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the coffee is outstanding. Their room is spacious and quiet—even during a well-attended arts festival nearby. I’m so happy we discovered this place!”
“New favorite wine spot. As somebody who doesn't know a lot about wine, the opportunity to purchase some stranger and sometimes more limited items by the glass is wonderful. The menu formula encourages guests to talk with others about what they are drinking. I loved the atmosphere and the hosts, this is now without a doubt my favorite PDX wine spot.”
“Too Soon is a much-needed addition to the Portland scene. The perfect place to relax with friends or even actually meet somebody new worth meeting. Looking forward to checking out their awesome menu! Plus the bartenders can make anything and everything ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“LaVerne's hosted our wedding reception in their semi-private event space 'The Hall', and it was everything we could have hoped for and more! There is a little pocket door in the archway that connects the hall to the main bar area; by closing that it felt like we were in a fully separate space, even though the main bar was open for biz as usual. We had our own dedicated bar with a custom drink menu, charcuterie, jojos and a taco bar. The food was exceptionally delicious — we are vegan and they accommodated a fully vegan menu easily, and they even made us an extra spicy habanero salsa because they knew we love heat! The vibes were cozy, festive, funky and exactly what we hoped they would be.
But the real praise goes to the service and hospitality of everyone on the team. Sophie, Felix, Alysa, Kevin, Owen, and our amazing bartender (who's name I am forgetting) all made our reception feel absolutely seamless, and took incredible care of us from the very beginning of planning. They worked collaboratively with our friends and family who helped put together the event, responded to communications promptly, and their catering costs were incredibly reasonable.
I can't say enough good things. We will always cherish this bar and I am so grateful to them. Book them for your private event !!!”

“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.”
