“All around amazing experience. Welcoming & knowledgeable staff, delicious flavors, and a cozy home vibe partially due to the fact that it *is* a home (located on the 2nd floor of a house). My friends and I had a great time and loved all the flavors. The duck was my favorite - others raved about the crepe and the black cod. I'd come back for the chocolate crepe alone 🤤”
“We ate at Lilia Comedor on Friday while visiting Portland and WOW… easily one of the best meals of our whole trip. We sat at the counter for the tasting menu and every single course slapped. Super flavorful, beautifully plated, and full of fun, unique ingredient combos that actually work. Portions were way more generous than most tasting menus too — we left totally full and super happy.
You can taste how fresh and local everything is. Every dish had those big, bright flavours that just pop. Cocktails were awesome too — we tried a few and loved all of them.
Service was fantastic. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and just genuinely kind. The vibe somehow hits that perfect mix of elevated and cozy at the same time.
If you’re in Portland, go. Seriously. Absolutely worth it.”
“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!”
“I try not to eat here too often because I like keeping it special - and every time I go, it's special. Service here is exceptional (Andrew is an ever-shining gem!) which stands out on its own against many other Portland restaurants. The food is rustic and unfussy, charming, full of flavor, with variety aplenty. Congrats on 15 years, Luce, and I hope you'll be around for another 15 with this level of amazing consistency!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“An absolutely delightful experience!! A group of 4 was perfect to share 7-8 different options!
The fried oysters are divine, the crudo was a table favorite, loved the chicken, and the Steak frites was the stuff of dreams. 10000/10
Don’t miss out on dessert!!”
“Been here twice and was not disappointed! Great vibes! We had a reservation so we were seated promptly even without having the 4 people all at once. Order was supposed to be placed at the bar which was a little inconvenient. In drinks we got the Dew Process which was sweet but nice, United States of Baijiu and Green Machine were great. Mandarin wings were amazing as always, tofu was greasy but great, honey shrimp was awesome! The silk dumplings were not so great since they were too doughy and I could barely taste the wagyu beef in it. All in all a fun experience!”

“We love Greek food, and we really enjoyed our meal here. Everything was flavorful, and the prices were very reasonable. We also appreciated that the wine wasn't marked up to outrageous prices like it is at some restaurants. We've been meaning to try this place for a while, and I'm so glad we finally did. We'll definitely be back!”
“Every time we visit we go to Fishwife restaurant. We haven't had a bad dish. Highly recommend”
“This is our favorite Italian restaurant in Portland right now! (And one of us has Italian blood.) Their homemade pasta is divine! And their focaccia is a world unto itself. Plus you cannot skip getting a seasonal cocktail or two, and an amazing salad! Next time we’ll save room for dessert. The staff were all incredibly friendly! We love Tartuca! I am making reservations again right now! 🌈💜”
“Great service , amazing staff. Pizza the best in Portland”
“Fun bar, friendly staff and regulars with great pricing on good food and drinks. Fun activities every night from comedy to karaoke. A great place to hang out in Saint Johns.”
“Java rising is a special place! Amy is always mixing up delicious lattes and smoothies, using quality ingredients and adding in her most special ingredient; love. I highly recommend for your caffeine indulgences and decedent waffles.”
“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.”
“Quiet elegance best describes this restaurant. Tastefully presented and prepared with care. The fish melts in your mouth. The set menu is satisfying and offers add ons for those who want more.”
“This place is EPIC! Everything was perfect! The bacon and house-smoked lox was among the best I’ve ever had. The service and atmosphere were perfect. Thanks to Lisa, Moses and John for an outstanding breakfast! I can’t wait to go back.”

“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.”
“Amazing holiday dinner experience! This dinner from start to finish, along with the wonderful service, is one of the best dinner experiences we have had in a while! Relay impressed.”

“Ooh la la! Spectacular. We started with perfect Oysters on the half shell, Oeufs in hand-whipped aioli (Wow, so simple and so good, like eating the calf in its own milk!), and the amazing chicken liver mousse (the fried brioche was a little rich and threatened to overpower the exquisite pate, but everything was great). Then les gros bonnets: Duck Confit on spinach and Halibut steamed in halibut stock with snap peas and white wine sauce. The cocktails and wine special were exquisite. The service was old school perfect and prompt. (Matthew missed nothing and taught us throughout). Wow. We loved everything.
Thank you, L'Echelle, Chef Luke, and the legacy and inspiration of Naomi Pomeroy, RIP.
Tonight's dinner was a gift.”

“My favorite restaurant, hands down- vegan or otherwise. The food is always phenomenal, with creative flavors that make it clear being vegan is never an afterthought. The staff are so friendly and the vibe is warm and welcoming, not pretentious at all, even though honestly the food is good enough that they could get away with being a little pretentious. But instead, they’re grounded and awesome and authentically lovely humans making amazing food. If you haven’t been, GO! Now!!!”
“Great food. Fun atmosphere. We had a larger party. Paid prix fixe for 13 people and bought tons of cocktails. We were polite. Our server was not very friendly. Almost seemed like we were bothering her. Food came out 15 minutes before 1st round of drinks. Kept dropping more plates before we finished a course. We easily spent $1200+ (still tipped 20%) and felt like we were rushed out of there. I didn't make the reservation, just got invited. Having worked 18 years in Portland restaurants (BOH), it just felt unwelcoming. Again, the food and place are great. Just wish we had more time to savor the moment without feeling like a hassle. Small tables will have better luck I'm guessing.”
“From our nine year old: Amazing service and great mocktails! We went during the make your own Gimbap and it was absolutely amazing!!”

“I ordered a grilled sandwich with fresh vegetables, cheese, and a side of fries, and everything tasted amazing. The bread was perfectly toasted — crispy on the outside while still soft inside. The filling was fresh, flavorful, and generously packed, making every bite satisfying and delicious. The cheese melted perfectly with the ingredients, creating a rich and balanced flavor.
The sandwich was served hot and beautifully presented, showing the care taken in preparation. The fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the meal. I also appreciated the freshness of the ingredients, especially the vegetables and sauces, which added great taste and texture.
One thing that really stood out was the quick and efficient service. Even during busy hours, the staff remained professional and organized while ensuring customers received fresh food without long waiting times. The dining area was also very clean and comfortable, adding to the overall positive experience.”
“I went to Sammy's on a friend's recommendation and it was amazing. It was pretty busy and there were only 2 people working. One cook and one front counter person taking orders and making milkshakes. I thought it would take a while but the food came out fairly fast. The onion rings were perfectly fried and crispy and the fish sandwich was moist and not overly breaded with a beautifully melted cheese skirt. The milkshakes were insanely good and handmade. Considering the great food quality, the prices were very reasonable. 10/10 I can't wait to go back.”
“I'm really disappointed with Rudy the Manager at this location. I came to use my reward for the 25% milkshake which is good from 2pm - 5pm. I arrived at 2pm exactly. I made my order and scanned my QR code for the discount. When I noticed my charge on the screen, which already went through the total charge was still the regular price. They told me that the register was still showing 1:55pm and that they couldn't honor the discount. I told him it's 2pm already and that it's doesn't specify on the app that it has to show 2pm on their registers. I told him I wanted a refund, he argued with me and almost told me he can't refund me. I told Rudy that it's very misleading. As a Manager, he could've just refunded me and recharged me again for another milkshake with the discount since it's 2pm. He tried to tell me he couldn't refund but I stood my ground. He eventually gave me my refund. I will never patronize this location ever. Screw Carl's Jr and their stupid app. 🙄”
“We ordered the fried chicken, summer salad, hummus with burnt beef tips and the corn ribs. Everything was unbelievably delicious. The summer salad in particular was refreshing and different. I can not recommend this place enough.”

“Shera Indian Cuisine absolutely knocked it out of the park for our recent party! We ordered the butter chicken, garlic naan, chana masala, and chicken with bone biryani, and every single dish was absolutely amazing. The portions were incredibly generous, ensuring none of our guests went hungry.
What truly sets Shera apart is their phenomenal customer service and attention to detail. Before finalizing the order, he actually had us taste everything to ensure the flavors and spice levels were perfectly aligned with what we wanted. This extra step made the entire menu feel completely custom-tailored to our exact tastes.
Thanks to the incredible food, our party was a massive hit, and almost everyone was asking for the name of our caterer by the end of the night. If you want phenomenal food with generous portions and truly personalized service, I cannot recommend Shera Indian Cuisine enough!”
“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.”
“Unique flavors, very creamy ice cream. The mix ins add a good amount of texture. I got a bunch of fruity flavors, which isn’t usually my thing, but these were so good. Shout out to Luna who was so nice and patient with us. After giving me a couple of samples, they recommended me trying another flavor that they thought I might like- and I ended up loving it!!”
“Yes. This place is good. I got the “spicy chicken strips.” They were beautifully fried and crisp. I like my heat and they were not spicy. Still an enjoyable texture, however.
Their side tenders came with pickled radish which was refreshing and not too sweet.
Their side of kimchi mac was a star. Slightly spicy and tasty.
I think when I come again, I want to try their curry mash as that’s suppose to be unique as well.
The pricing was reasonable.”
“The food, the cocktails are great along with the staff. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.”

“Absolutely one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. Monica supported us at our dinner with some fantastic service and this great wine recommendation attached. Every aspect of the dinner was completely off the charts. We did the chef’s counter, which was even more fun interacting with the very cool chefs. I give them extreme kudos for being around for 15 years and clearly flourishing in a city that has likely seen better days.
It would be a serious mistake to not make dining here a priority.”
“We had an absolutely fabulous meal at this cozy Italian bistro-what a gem. The carefully constructed menu offers lots of inventive twists on traditional Italian cuisine like the amazingly delicious fresh burrata with fresh seasonal berries and a strawberry coulis! Superb! I also loved the fresh baked focaccia with its fluffy texture and crackling crust and stuffed with savory rosemary and soft roasted garlic (so good I ended up getting a second order of it). The short rib arancini were crispy with a nice sauce and are ordered by the each.
I forgot to mention that the menu is designed for sharing so plan on 2-3 dishes per person. The spicy pork pasta had fun thin ribbons of noodles with a curly edge (like skinny lasagne noodles) and wasn’t too spicy. My wife really like the seasonal sweet corn ravioli with its beautiful lite preparation. All this food was more than enough and very reasonably priced. The wine list is small but assembled with a careful eye and the by the glass options were of high quality.
Service was friendly and the meal moved along at a relaxed pace. Water glasses were filled and team service ensured prompt delivery of food and clearing of dishes.
The dining room is small with a wonderful hand-painted tile floor. Definitely recommended but be sure to make a reservation. They were full by 7 on a Thursday when we visited.”
“Absolutely amazing tasty food! We had the tacos and instantly fell in love. I could cry with how good it was. The hosts and staff were so friendly and accommodating all around great atmosphere and learning their story made it all the more heart opening. Thank you so much 🫶🫶🫶🙏”
“What a cute place. A quaint old house, very cozy.
We ordered Pizzas. Very good. I had an excellent arugula salad. Wine was also nice.
Definitely will return.”

“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!”
“Beautiful place with a huuge selection! Loved tasting different whiskeys here and the bartenders are very knowledgeable about different flavor profiles.
Food smelled delicious but sadly they were out of all bread and our fries were just ok.
Suggest visiting the place to get in on the waitlist at least an hour in advance”
“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”
“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.”
“From the moment we stepped inside and until we were making reservations for the next time, we were treated to some of the most exquisite food, wine, and hospitality in Portland. Creative, fresh, and lovingly prepared, each course had us proclaiming that THIS was the best bite—until the next one came. This place felt like a French dinner party in a country home in the Loire valley. Incroyable”
“I have been coming to Zilla for about 8 years and have always been impressed with their consistency, speed and flavors. Over the years I have had the pleasure of multiple omakase nights and they always delivery different dishes that truly change how I view sushi as a whole. My wife and I had our first date here two years ago, and just came back for our first date as a married couple and we love having a special place to slow down, enjoy each other and eat mouthwatering food to mark beautiful moments in our lives. Thank you to the staff for the atmosphere you provide as well!”
“They have the best ribeye in Portland and it's my daughter's favorite is their filet. I had my ribeye encrusted with the blue cheese and roasted garlic which put it over the top. They only negative was the carrot cake it was dry and had no nuts even though we were told it had pecan's and their overall desert menu is boring.”

“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!”
“I can't say enough about Rabbit's. I was a regular pre-pandemic and have since gone vegan and I miss working nearby so much. Their staff is wonderful; and hey, Anton - if you ever see this, hit me up! I'd ollove to thank you personally sometime and know where you got some of your amazing vegan-inspired t-shirts! <3”
“Had the Panang Curry, very tasty. If you want to experience a unique recipe, this is the one. Must be their own recipe, unlike any Panang I've had (and I've had a lot). Got it medium and glad I did, pretty spicy compared to other places.
People running the place are very sweet and kind. My hat is off to them.”

“Been coming here my whole life! Still my favorite restaurant of all time, even after all this time!”
“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!”
“Tusk is great. Especially for a nice date night. The food is exquisite and the service is AMAZING.”
“Good Food, Great Atmosphere and the serving staff were very friendly and welcoming, I very pleasant dining experience from start to finish.”
“Everything about this restaurant is homely and inviting. I love that the plates aren't gargantuan sized. They feel like a nice home cooked meal and you really don't need a takeout box. The service is fast and friendly, though we showed up right at 11AM to ensure we had seating! Food was delicious, and the dessert was good. If you plan to buy any pastries, do so before you sit! We waited until after we were done eating and literally within and hour of opening, all the fruit strudel was gone. I was heartbroken because that's why I went! Well I won't be making that mistake twice! Buy it before you sit! Great place and such fun!”
“The Mediterranean pizza was delish. It just happened to hit the spot for me. I will definitely go there again and highly recommend it.”
“Per the usual - food, service, atmosphere for dinner tonight was beyond exceptional! Our server - Chad - was perfect! Thank you for another wonderful dinner.”

“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!!”
“Gof månnge’ na nengkanno’ gi Chochu Local! Dånkolo Si Yu’os Ma’åse!”
“Excellent! Fast, friendly service and absolutely delicious food. We had the tempura udon and curry plate. We also enjoyed the sake flight. Cannot wait to go back.”
“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.”
“This place is perfect. Every time I come here I feel so lucky that it exists in my neighborhood. The citrus salad is delightful, they always cut the cheese pizza and heat it up not too hot for my toddler, all the pizzas I’ve tried so far have been delicious. Also, it’s adorable inside and the staff is great.”
“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!”
“Great lik spot. We're not from here. The food was Amazing and our waitress was so kind. All waiters helped. Think it was the bus guy. But the staff was wonderful. Stop by if your near. Won't disappoint.”
“Thoughtfully curated cocktail menu which is varied and interesting. The description of each one is helpful for choosing. The service was very attentive and chatty. Note there is no longer a happy hour if this is a factor in your venue choice.”
“If you're searching for the best Haitian restaurant in Portland, look no further than Tap Tap. This vibrant spot isn’t just about incredible Haitian cuisine — it’s a full cultural experience that blends delicious food, stunning Haitian artwork, and energetic nightlife. This is easily one of the best Black-owned restaurants in Portland that offers an authentic taste of Haiti’s rich heritage right in the heart of the city.
From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by colorful, eye-catching Haitian art that sets a unique, welcoming atmosphere. The menu features traditional Haitian dishes crafted with fresh ingredients and bold flavors, making it a top choice for foodies like myself who are seeking something different and unforgettable.
What truly sets Tap Tap apart is its lively nightlife, especially the Kompa Haitian dancing nights. This energetic music and dance scene invites guests to immerse themselves in Haitian culture while enjoying great food and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Whether you’re out for dinner, a night of dancing, or both, Tap Tap is the best place to experience Haitian culture in Portland.
For anyone looking to support Black-owned businesses while enjoying exceptional food and an unforgettable cultural vibe, Tap Tap is hands down the best restaurant in Portland for a genuine Haitian experience.”
“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.”
“My favorite, worth the drive. Food is amazing, always. Service is amazing. I have been a few times and never disappointed. I wish I could eat the entire menu every time!”

Had a wonderful time at Bellwether Bar. The vibe is cozy yet stylish, the cocktails are expertly crafted, and the staff is super friendly. Perfect spot for a date night or catching up with friends. Highly recommend!”
“Honestly, best tasting experience I've ever had! And amazing service! Thanks so much!”
“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.”
“I’m not even vegan and this place blows my mind. Some of the best italian food you’ll ever have, period. Plus the people make it a special place, and the bar program *chef’s kiss* get the gnocchi, eggplant parm (it’s a tower), and an espresso martini. Whatever get it all”
“Excellent food and customer service!
My fiance and I drove to Portland for the day and made the last minute decision to try out a sushi place. Hana Sushi and Izakaya Pearl turned out to be a lovely surprise.
Food was quick and fun as it was distributed on a conveyor belt. We did also order from the menu (a fried tuna roll) which was also fantastic.
For drinks we got the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, one with brown sugar pearls, coconut milk and Oreos and the other with just oat milk and Oreos. The drink customization was an awesome surprise--definitely order a drink from them as it will not disappoint!
We will definitely come again if we are ever in the Portland area.”
“Friendly staff, good food and portions, great long time neighborhood restaurant!”
“I haven’t given a restaurant 5 stars in so long. The food was amazing! We wish we lived here, we’ll definitely come back! The pork noodles were our favorite. You can tell the chef really care about the meal and the details!”
“We walked right in and were seated immediately on a Friday night. Enjoyed the ice cream specials and wine! Everything was perfect!!”
“My wife and I come here for special occasions and last night we celebrated her birthday! As always, the service was excellent, food was impeccable, atmosphere was cozy, and a very enjoyable experience. It is a small place which only adds to the intimacy of service and atmosphere. The owner is a great guy who is very knowledgeable in all his dishes and wines which were incredible as well! We love C'est Si Bon and will continue to come here everytime we want to celebrate something at a special place!”
“This place is truly incredible. It has every generation from Atari to Nintendo Switch 2, from every major manufacturer, TurboGrafx-16 included. The library is extensive and the energy is palpable. They handle all the game-switching for you; all you do is play, eat, and drink. The prices are more than reasonable and the quality of food & drinks far exceeded my expectations. Whether is a quick stop, or you would like to spend the most of the night here, Retro Game Bar will satisfy completely in all aspects.”
“Went here for dinner with the family and it was wonderful! Great margaritas, service, and food ❤️ What a gem this place is! Thank you so much for a great experience, we will definitely be back.”
“The owner is super nice and friendly. I love the decorations. Very warm and inviting. Feels like you are in HaNoi. Food is authentic. Good place to go to for special occasion or hang out with friends.”
“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. 🤟🏻🥰”
“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!”
“We did the chef's menu for a friend's birthday and it was wonderful! The food is great, the drinks fabulous, and the staff are friendly and attentive. I was honestly shocked the last seating wasn't full, but I guess that leaves open spots for walk-ins.”
“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”
“Elegant setting for a romantic date or a family dinner. Highest quality ingredients, ethically sourced meats, handmade pasta, always a delightful experience.”
“I was underwhelmed. Great chewy noodle but the broth wasn't spectacular... heavy on the bean sprouts which I don't care for when they're hot and soggy, light on the meat ... one lunch meat thick dlice of pork ... that's it for $17. Group of 5 .. everyone thought it hood but no one thought great. Agedashi was very disappointing. Service was attentive. Vibe and decore very nice.
For me ... not a repeater. Recommended.”
“We stopped in at lunch on a springtime Saturday after a hike in Forest Park. When we left we were satisifed with the scrumptious Korean cuisine plus we felt lucky to have found this restaurant. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area! The staff is very friendly and the tables, bathroom are clean. Afterwards we walked around the cute neighborhood, including the Saturday Market. What an enjoyable day in St. Johns!”
“I scheduled dinner at Cabezon because I wanted to enjoy a fine meal and good conversation with a friend. The atmosphere at Cabezon is very conducive to conversation. The background noise is minimal and the atmosphere inviting. As usual the choices we're all tempting which made the decision a little difficult. But I was not disappointed. My meal was excellent. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. He checked back frequently to make sure that our needs were met. I will be back again, and again!”
“This is such a gem.
Delicious, flavorful dishes. Large portions, filling and satisfying.
My husband is not vegetarian but he enjoyed the food very much.
Cozy interior, friendly staff.
We are visiting from the east coast otherwise we would be back again.”
“We had an absolutely stellar meal celebrating our son's 17th birthday. The staff was friendly and accommodating without hovering, and each dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Olympia Provisions is such a perfect Portland restaurant, in that it's warm and inviting without feeling pretentious, and there is clearly immense talent and passion informing the menu and its execution. Looking forward to our next visit!”
“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.”
“Love the concept. Wood fired meats. Korean BBQ fusion. All in a beautiful space.
We sat at the counter with the heat from the fire warming our faces and watched the cooks crank out dish after dish.
I know there's some debate about value, but I gotta say we ended up with at least two meals because we couldn't finish everything we ordered and took home enough for another quality meal at home.”
“This place has the best Texas style brisket of any bbq place I have tried in PDX. A great find!!”
“This is my favorite restaurant in Portland. I finally went into the restaurant after hearing about it for so long and every single time I’ve been here, I’ve had the most exquisite food with ample portions and the most satiating flavors of Italian food and wine that you could get in Portland. It is comfort food at its finest with the best local ingredients and everything is off The chart delicious. I’ve had the pizza, I’ve had pasta, and I’ve had steak twice. Everything is delicious and I can’t get enough of it. The decanting of the wine, the sides to the bread with olives and oil/vinegar. Every single thing I eat, seems to be at the highest level of ingredients with a lot of attention to detail put into everything. The vibe of the place with the uplifting atmosphere, the decor and the righteously amazing vibes of Chrissie the head bartender…makes me keep coming back for birthdays and special occasions. I actually don’t eat out very much with fast food or takeout because I save my money for this place. I can spend $20 at Taco Bell or I could spend $20 here and usually go home very full with leftovers. Chrissie can make the most delicious concoctions and she literally looks like she’s creating something magical when she comes up with something new. Her cocktails are on point yet she’s always innovating her craft. Attention to detail for every single drink. The best recommendations for what they have that night. She informed me that they bake their bread fresh every day. Foods are sourced locally and every single dish makes me want more. I’m trying to get some variety in what I order yet. The steak does it for me every time. The pizza is the best I’ve had in town and sooooo good. I’m very picky about pizza as it’s my favorite food yet this crust and the delicious cheese and greens and everything they put into their pizza is so tasty. The flavor of every single thing I have eaten makes me want to have it again and again and again. If the Italians that I know in my community, make this a regular spot, then I also know it’s good! It’s authentic righteously on point delicious food every single time I go. All my people come with me to this restaurant for special occasions. Do yourself a favor and visit Cibo! If somebody’s coming in from out of town… Take them to Cibo! To celebrate my children’s accomplishments, I take them to Cibo! I already have two reservation reservations for the first week of January and I went there last night. It’s this good! A lot of people post pictures of the food there and I’ve had every dish that I’ve seen online… But what means the most to me about this place is the whole experience of bringing My special people here to experience, uplifting vibes, delicious and exquisite food, the most incredible drinks, and an atmosphere that takes us out of our daily life and gives us such joy and pleasure to experience. Seriously. Just eat here once and you’ll know.”
“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.”
“Excellent food, comfortable atmosphere. We really enjoyed our dinner and the flavors were marvelous!”
“family friendly and a beautiful environment ❤️ Just love this place”
“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!”

“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.”
“We love the vibe on 23rd avenue and stopped in for lunch. All but myself ordered appetizers to share. The bacon wrapped jalapenos were awesome as were the other ones I tried, but my enchiladas were a big disappointment. The flavor was unlike any other I have eaten, and disagreeable to me. The Mexican rice was crispy and crunchy also with an odd flavor, and the black beans were mediocre. All in all, my choice was a bust. The service was good, and liked the decor, so I would probably give it another chance, but I won't be ordering the enchiladas!”
“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!”
“I really enjoy working from Ovation Coffee because it has a welcoming atmosphere, great coffee, and the perfect balance of energy and focus. As a local realtor, it’s an ideal spot to bring my laptop, stay productive, and even connect with people in the community while getting work done.”
“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.”
“This place has a great selection of vegan and vegetarian comfort food, as well as gluten free options. The staff is friendly and it has beautiful light. It would nice to have more protein and less carbohydrates. The drinks are overly sweet and it’s hard to find a meal with a decent amount of protein.”
“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”

“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!!”
“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.”
“They have the best ribeye in Portland and it's my daughter's favorite is their filet. I had my ribeye encrusted with the blue cheese and roasted garlic which put it over the top. They only negative was the carrot cake it was dry and had no nuts even though we were told it had pecan's and their overall desert menu is boring.”

“I've never had poke this good on the mainland. WOW! The poke, the service, the feel, it's all like it come from HI. I love this place and will be back every chance I get. Heck, I might make the drive up from Eugene just to eat there some more. If you like poke, if you think you like poke, drop what you are doing right now and head over here and get some poke!!!
I'm not joking, it's the best and none around are even close. I had the Furikake poke and Ginger poke.”
“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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Not just a restaurant, but also a bar with a wide selection of beverages. Their cocktails are delicious, and the strawberry lemonade is excellent! The food is tasty, the menu is diverse, and there are plenty of vegetarian options.
I highly recommend trying the appetizers, especially the tarator. The lentil soup is absolutely delicious, and the mushroom wrap is amazing. Don't forget to try their original pistachio baklava, and be sure to ask for the complimentary Turkish tea!”
“Laverne's is still relatively new to Portland but it feels like a bar that has been here all along. The drinks are incredible and oh so very well curated not to mention straight up fun (whether you're in the mood for a Midnight at the Oasis or a Frog and Toad). Their rotisserie chicken is elevated and delicious but DO NOT sleep on their amazing beans to chase each bite of chicken. To top it all off the place is outright welcoming based on decor alone, which is only enhanced by the very hospitable staff and crew.
My fiance and I recently used this lovely bar as a backdrop for a wedding photo shoot and their team was so accommodating at allowing us to use their space and even whipping up some tasty mocktails to use as props. Look no further, all ye who seek Portland's best neighborhood bar.”
“I wish I'd known about this place sooner! Nice wine selections, delicious snack - the salted rosemary focaccia with tomato jam was terrific! Chanelle and Haru were welcoming hostesses, and the place was a very comfortable place to just hang & enjoy being where I was. I'll definitely be recommending it to friends, and I'm looking forward to my next visit!”
“Delicious ice cream with fun flavors! You can get a one scoop but split between two flavors which I love. The ube cheesecake is delicious. I loved mixing the peach crisp with the mango cardamom which were equally as delicious. My partner loves the strawberry custard. Reasonable prices too. Can't go wrong here.”
