Restaurants in Portland

“The best pizza I’ve had in Portland. They sat 4 of us at the bar, two adults and two kids. Our kids loved watching the pizza being made. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The dough was perfect.”

“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!”

“We went for the last week of the summer menu. The restaurant place is converted from an old houses and therefore has very nostalgic interior vibe.

The foods are all very delicious and fairly priced! We especially like the chicken liver tart, the cube-shape Wagyu beef check, and the desserts!”

“Lilia is an absolute gem and my new favorite Portland restaurant. The menu changes weekly based on the freshest ingredients, and every dish bursts with bold flavors and inspiration from across Mexico. The vibe is chill and the staff are sweet and knowledgeable. Music was great (rock en español) and not too loud, so you could have a conversation at your table without yelling (yay!)

We tried the chef’s tasting menu, which included two appetizers (PNW oysters and tomato/melon salad, two large plates (mushroom barbacoa & cheese-filled corn dish and king salmon which was caught that morning) and two desserts (fig pastie and a creamy Asian pear). We also got the carnitas chilaquiles separately—highly recommend. Each dish was beautifully prepared, incredibly tasty, and unforgettable. The wine pairing ($68 per person) was thoughtfully curated and well worth it, and the cocktails were just as impressive.

Can’t wait to go back!!!!”

“From our nine year old: Amazing service and great mocktails! We went during the make your own Gimbap and it was absolutely amazing!!”

“Really delicious, and so happy to have a Japanese sandwich cart in Portland. I loved the Pork katsu!”

“Came in with some friends. They had patience of waiting for the long line but I did not. I just grabbed the pint of honey lavender flavor ice cream in their fridge then went straight to the cashier so I didnt have to wait in line. The ice cream was delicious and one of my favorite flavors, then 2nd would be blue cheese n pear flavor. The atmosphere was clean and the place smells like amazing vanilla scent because of the waffle cones they make there. One of my favorite ice cream places ❤️”

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

“Their shrimp pasta is DIVINE! It's so flavorful and they're quite generous with the amount of shrimp too. I like how they don't take reservations because it just means you're guaranteed a spot if you're there right when they open up.”

“Came in on a Sunday and sat at a cozy table in the back. Received great service and enjoyed the drinks and food. Get a drink recommendation—you won’t regret it!”

“I was able to take my mom here for her birthday last night. Honestly, maybe one of the best meals I've had in Portland in the last several years. The service staff was excellent. She made some great recommendations and led us to some fantastic seasonal dishes that were about to exit the menu. If you go, you need to try the peach and pancetta pizza - maybe the best pizza I've ever had. Also, the lasagna was incredible. Overall a fantastic place and worth the reservation or wait for a table.”

“We sat at the bar and loved the atmosphere… service was superb (thank you Nick) and the food delicious”

“Everything is bomb! my favorite restaurant in Portland! Try the dumpling Soup! Also the best Thai Tea in Portland and it's reasonably priced which is great! Love it here!”

“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.”

“I haven't been in person just yet, but have ordered from this place many times. Delicious gluten-free fried chicken every single time! Although I can't seem to find any info on if the other things are gf as well. Mac n cheese? Gravy? The sando? Would love to know.”

“Wonderful neighborhood restaurant. It's absolutely beautiful inside and we can tell this restaurant is a real labor of love. The food is delicious and the cocktails are the best I've had in Portland (honestly!). Glad they have reservations now! We'll be back!”

“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!”

“Amazing. The mole is awesome, the fish was so well cooked. The tlayuda was amazing. So sad it’s closing. Every dish just slaps. The drinks are also great takes on a classic. Do not pass on the dessert!”

“Great restaurant, we go everytime we are in Portland. Great food, great ambience and wonderful staff. Plus an outstanding butcher shop”

“Excellent food and service! A fun pre-Timbers match vibe and the place was hopping!”

“The best!! You won’t be disappointed. Staff are clearly experts and enjoy being there. So much fun energy too! Mind. Blown.”

“A taste of Italy in Oregon!!! Best pizza I’ve had!the crust is perfection thin, charred, and airy! I also got the ricotta garlic sauce which was the perfect dip to eat up the crust. Came here with a large group of girls and there was plenty of seating both inside and outdoors. The furniture and little accessories added the perfect touch of comfort. There were literally grape vines all round the patio and we got to slice up our pizza with scissors! Anyway, well worth your money for the quality and quantity!”

“Great beer and sours! Staff is awesome!”

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

“Delicious & immaculately presented, robust drink menu and Tapas done right 😋”

“Had a wonderful dinner at Dolly Olive and highly recommend it. The service was amazing and the food incredible. Check it out. You will regret it if you don’t!”

“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.”

“Excellent service. The $40 prix fixe was a nice experience and we had plenty of food! The daiquiri Cocktail was so interesting and the restaurant is cozy and lively at the same time.”

“fresh fish, great taste. Real yummy”

“We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and what a treat! Our server was phenomenal and helped us make great choices for amazing food + wine pairings. The chef also accommodated my food allergies with ease. Highly recommend! We plan to return very soon.”

“Very nice atmosphere, fast service”

“Love the restraint and the people that work in this place love the atmosphere it has too. Pretty awsome place.”

“Enjoyed this place a lot, updated now that my favorite is back. It's such a fun place to forget your troubles with good conversations. Swing by and have a good time.”

“What an amazing service !
I truly admire the way the job was handled
Very professional highly recommended!!!

Now my roof is making my house look so much better
Thank you “Icon roofing and construction”!!!”

“A nice calm, clean place, to rest! The vegetables on the burgers are super fresh! The guy running the station said he was very picky about the produce he used! Probably one of the best burgers I’ve had in a while!”

“Great food at a very affordable price. I been numerous times and everything I've had was delicious. Nails the old school Burger and shake vibe. Newer to the location but definitely fits like its been there for decades”

“Always friendly and polite”

“25 hour diner experience. Running. down .slot.machimes bathroo.s with security locks. Decent food served hot and fast in huge quantities. We really enjoyed it but this was exactly what we were looking for.”

“Man, this location is always so good. The manager here it runs around super crazy, getting everything done. All of the employees know what they're doing. The food is always hot and delicious. I would definitely recommend this spot.”

“I absolutely loved the customer service I received. I ordered online and got my sandwich made on time and efficiently. The manager there is a real gem and truly has a heart for their customers! It was early in the morning too, so to receive a smile and positivity in service was really a day maker!!”

“Chicken strips are very good!
Zucchini fries were excellent as well. I just wish they would have been more generous since #1 Ranch cup for all of the food. I was glad I had ketchup in the car.”

“One car was packed with bags on the inside and outside of the van. Looked like they were living out of it and the neighborhood homeless walkers roaming the parking lot.”

“Stopped by to try the queso burger I've been hearing about on the radio! A lady was cleaning but she came over to take my order within a couple minutes. She recommended the strawberry lemonade and it was definitely refreshing. The place was spotless, highly recommended.”

“The people work there very friendly in there they're very knowledgeable of what to do and hats off to him because you know they work you're open 24 hours and so I I know it's like to work graveyard”

“Good Mexican food, fast service”

“They limit the daily selections to 2 or 3 items, plus available appetizers etc. What they do make is just simply the best pho I ever recall having. The owners are always there and are the most welcoming hosts imaginable. 110% Satisfied!”

“Cozy neighborhood vibes. Had to remind myself it is a bar. Kinda loud, but then again it is a bar. Scored low on service because there is zero table service. You have to keep getting up to order at the bar. Good burger and fries. Trout chips and dip was different but tasty. Overall good experience.”

“Delicious food, hearty portions and the owner and chef was delightful. It’s definitely worth the trip downtown.”

“Came here for lunch and made me a forever fan of the brisket tacos. In my over 50 years of life I have never tasted anything that comes close to these tacos! AMAZINGLY PERFECT!! They nailed it!!”

“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.”

“Awesome addition to the Portland coffee scene. Hit up about 5 coffee shops on a trip and sterling was up there along with Sisters. Worker was incredibly helpful and friendly, noticed we were visiting and recommended other coffee shops too. Real inviting space and Kens is just up the street which makes for a killer combo. Before leaving decided to get some beans and worker comp'd me some house beans, such a kind gesture!”

“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 🫶🫶🫶🙏”

“Kate’s all vegan and gluten free ice cream is an inclusive dream for many people with dietary restrictions and a sweet tooth 😜 Everyone working there has been accommodating when I’ve asked about other food sensitivities, too, like oat. It’s ridiculously delicious and I recommend the ice cream sandwiches if you can have oats!”

“Looooved this great pizza!”

“We went tonight for the first time and our meal was so delicious! We will definitely go again soon and you should too! What a gem! Excellent food, beautiful restaurant and such kind service! 💖”

“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!”

“Best NY pizza in town. You can truly taste the quality.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Spectacular food! Definitely will be coming back. I got the Saltfish with Basmati Rice and it was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more.”

“I have chased this food cart around from when they were on 82nd Ave. out to Foster and back to my home space of John’s Marketplace. My favorite Indian food in Portland. 🙌”

“The collection of books and board games is AMAZING. Not to mention the artwork and attention to detail for the experience. DEFINITELY recommend whether with your kiddos or as a date night experience destination.”

“Fenomenal! Fresh quality ingredients, wonderful flavors, great prices. Our new family favorite!”

“Delicious food and considerate service! Each bite was full of amazing flavors that were unusual and yet worked together. The madelines are a must have. The chicken liver toast with pickled strawberries doesn't seem like it should work but it absolutely does. The 'fancy instant coffee' fit the vibe of the restaurant and was surprisingly good. I'll definitely want to return when the menu changes with the season.”

“I learned about this place from a friend who gifted my husband an amazing Tiramisu. I was pleasantly surprised to taste a Tiramisu that actually tasted authentic. Curious, I decided to visit, and I discovered that they make a variety of desserts, including cannoli, which are filled just before you buy them ( finally some place that can do that!)I also tried the cornetto (This should not be confused with a croissant) and the focaccia, and wow! Finally, a focaccia that doesn’t have a lingering taste of acidity. The coffee was good too as the atmosphere and the service. I totally advise this Italian place especially becouse, in my opinion,they can make very Italian taste.”

“Everything about this place is perfect. The decor, the vibes, the wait staff, the wine, the food! I beg I BEG if you are in Portland, please do not miss out on this gem!”

“Tusk is great. Especially for a nice date night. The food is exquisite and the service is AMAZING.”

“This place nails it every time. Service is friendly and efficient. Cocktails are creative and delicious, as you’d expect from a Ninsom operation, his spots always have a great bar setup. Photo here of the prawn curry. Damn was that amazing! Also got the tom yum noodles which ruled.”

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

“This is one of my favorite places to each lunch, a great place to meet a friend, and the friendliest service you can imagine. I wish more restaurants focused on doing one thing well and being deeply authentic in vibe and presentation. After today's visit I felt compelled to write a review because it sparked true joy. This is a meal that you end up thinking about - sometimes DIRECTLY after eating it. You should probably go - there's bike parking directly outside, and it will be something you enjoy.”

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

“First time eating Ethiopian food, trusted the waiter to choose our food and wine pairing and he hit it spot on! Everything was absolutely delicious. So fresh and spicy and flavorful. We will definitely be back often!”

“What a great experience. Our party of four was there for brunch. I had apple fritters with side of amazing Hungarian sausage with homemade mustard. - exceptionally good! My wife and daughter had baked pancakes with plums, the other with raisins. Very unique, very good as well. One man runs the whole restaurant from kitchen to table. Loved the experience.”

“So charming and delicious. Great place for vegans and dessert lovers.”

“Friendly staff fast service, best sushi I’ve ever had”

“Beautiful experience. Food and serves always a 10. I love how the restaurant is family owned & have been around for decades!”

“Had my second visit to Kaede yesterday and it was just as incredible as the first. The omakase was outstanding — everything fresh, seasonal, and prepared with amazing attention to detail. The space itself is intimate, stylish, and has a quiet, understated elegance. The couple running it are warm and welcoming, with a kind, no-pressure approach that makes the whole experience even better. Truly a gem — I’ll definitely be back.”

“Going to Astera is not just going out for dinner: it is a whole different dining experience that goes beyond food and service. Don't get me wrong: the food is amazing and the service is impeccable! But to reduce a dinner at Astera to only this would not do it justice. The atmosphere is carefully crafted, from the lighting to the music, creating a space not only to eat, but to celebrate the art of cooking. Dining here feels less like a meal and more like a journey, one that lingers in your memory long after the last bite.”

“Didn't have a bad bite and the service was friendly. In the realm of fine dining, Arden offers exceptional value. That's not to say that it's only about price to quality ratio though. They deliver on quality and enjoyment on a more objective level ultimately. My partner and I would both love to return. The Prix Fixe menu was a great choice and I recommend that, but either way you go I'm sure you would enjoy whatever you choose.”

“Mucca Osteria came highly recommended by a friend. The restaurant is indeed elegant and has a very intimate feel to it. The food was incredibly delicious. My family ordered scallops as an appetizer and all of us agreed they were among the best we've ever tasted. Our server Jenny was supremely knowledgeable about each entree and appropriate wine pairing for each of our meals. My son ordered octopus which he enjoyed immensely. The dessert they served as a birthday celebration was especially memorable. Thank you for a lovely dining experience.”

“Appetizers are good but our steaks were way overcooked and took 30 minutes to resolve issues”

“We did the tasting menu at the chefs table with the wine pairing and two extra course options - 14 courses in all! The opening oyster course was THE best oyster I've ever eaten. All the food was outstanding, as was the staff & I can't wait to dine here again.”

“Amazing food! We did the 7 course option and it turned out wonderful. The staff is sooo super friendly and knowledgeable about everything. Can’t wait to go back next time we’re in Portland. Also holds a special place in my heart since we got engaged there. :)”

“Incredible culinary experience! Each dish is delicious and you will also have a wonderful explanation of the ingredients.”

“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.”

“The small dishes are wonderfully arranged for two people. We ordered a lot of items, so the experience is similar to a tasting menu. There’s unbeatable view of Mount Hood as we are lucky enough to sit by the window.”

“Visited Ruth's Chris Portland for my son's birthday dinner — exceptional food and top-notch service. Still one of the best dining experiences in the city.”

“This place is amazing. I just got back from London, Mayfair. And I can say for sure that our of the few restaurants I visited there, none would surpass Jenkins in terms of sensation of taste. Breakfast menus out there are top knotch for sure, but Jenkins is definitely better overall than even Hide. And Hide has 1 Michelin star.

Sidenote, the blueberry creme brulee is simply the best I've had. In my entire life.”

“Got the gumbo and mac and cheese and the bf oof was delicious. Great flavors in both and the fried okra that came with it was amazing. Can’t wait to come back and try more food”

“A hidden gem! Excellent barista clearly dedicated to providing the best product and service. They are very knowledgeable and passionate about coffee, and about bringing people together. It's well worth the stop.”

“Houston native, visiting Portland for the second time. Last time we came, we passed by Awafi and didn’t get to try it! This time, we got to chat with Ali, who was very kind and shared that he runs the cart alone, and we finally got to try the kofta and chicken saj. Both were delicious and reflected Iraqi cuisine beautifully. We will be back!”

“Superb vegan deli experience!”

“Everything is f-ing AMAZING 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻”

“the la María burrito is amazing the salsas are good the coffee is strong and flavourful even though my order came through between morning and afternoon meat prep they had it ready really quickly”

“La Luna was hands down the best sandwich I’ve eaten!! Every part of the sandwich was great, the ingredients were really fresh. The bacon was really great on the sandwich too. Fries were awesome, nice and crispy!”

“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.”

“If you want some of the freshest and most impressively tasty food, you should check out this spot! Venezuela is such great food, but even better evening they have is vegan!”

“Amazing breakfast restaurant! Had their ribeye skillet 🍳 and tres leches French toast. Everything was delicious! Oh, and the mimosas and coffee were on point! Thank you for the wonderful service!”

“Delicious el pastor! Friendly and fast service!”

“We’ve been coming to Wu-Ron’s Ramen for a while now—probably over 20 visits—and it never disappoints. It’s a small, tucked-away spot that we only share with a handful of people because we love being able to stop in and enjoy a fresh, consistently amazing bowl of ramen without the crowd. The quality is always spot on, no matter the day. The waitress always remembers our order, which makes it feel like home, and the cook always greets us with a smile. That kind of warmth and consistency is rare, and it’s one of the many reasons we keep coming back. Wu-Ron’s is one of those hidden gems you want to keep to yourself, but honestly—it’s too good not to recommend!”

“This is my favorite spot for Ramen on the Westside of Portland. Not only is the food amazing, the broths are incredible, and they can accommodate all of my families specific dietary needs and food allergies. We are raving fans. Please go visit them!”

“great choice of food carts, atmosphere is very good, very pleasant and relaxing!”

“One of my all time favorite restaurant experiences. The owners were so sweet and friendly, and the food was amazing. I forgot to take pictures but the chicken and shrimp with crispy basil and pad thai were delicious and the mango sticky rice was the perfect dessert.”

“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”

“Food was yum, friendly environment and great hospitality.”

“Shelby was lovely as well as wonderful in providing the best customer experience the entire evening to our group of out of towners as we have attended al the bars up and down the strip. Shelby is rare in your line of business and should be highly praised as an employee!”

“I have read some of the trashy comments in the 1 and 2 star reviews. Most of the lambasting comments I find fault. Are they as fresh as Mizumi in Tigard, probably not, but neither are 99% of the restaurants in Portland metro. I find the seasoning quite authentic. I find the food variety unmatched in Portland. I would love some of their recipes! The ***clown that faulted them for selling produce and other fare near the check out, obviously have never been to a Chinatown or to China. The trolling is totally uncalled for. This is a nice, appearing to be, a family operation with love and care put into the restaurant. We frequent this location and do not find any of those horrible comments to have any truth.”

“We drive across town to get here we love it so much. The best Chicago style dog you’ll find for 100s of miles.”

“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.”

“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!”

“I ordered the pineapple chicken the meat was pink and raw. Gross the prices went up the food quality went way down the help did not even seem to care. Never again”

“Amazing pastries and cakes. Love this spot!!”

“Great food, fresh and tasty. Service is quick and good, owner is friendly and generous . Clean and closy restaurant .”

“I was introduced to Bridge City a couple months ago by a friend who raved about their menu variety, quality of food, and the service. Walking into the restaurant was much more appealing than I had imagined. Meaning that it's a good balance of sports bar and family restaurant. Natural light from the north, west, and east windows enhances the vibe; and the interior isn't plastered by sports memorabilia. I also appreciate that I didn't have to raise my voice to talk over the media volume. The staff are friendly, attentive, relaxed, and welcoming. Most of all, the menu offers a long variety of fabulous options. Something for everyone. The first visit, I was blown away by their Californian Grilled Chicken Sandwich. (My eyeballs rolled back in my head as I savored the in credible flavors.) The second visit, I had the Strawberry Chicken Salad: a generous portion that I happily polished in entirety...down to the last tiny piece of candied walnut. Their alcoholic beverage menu offers a long list of specially selected NW brews, craftt ciders, and more. The prices are very reasonable for the exceptional quality, creativity, and service that blows away other restaurants in the sports bar/family restaurant category in the area. I am looking forward to trying their brunch menu to celebrate my upcoming birthday. I'd love to see the property owner spruce up the exterior's landscaping and a bit of a facelift to attract attention and draw in more customers. So, get y'er buns in there and give Bridge City a try! You'll be very happy that you did.”

“Loved the variety. Great sushi selection. Free drinks. You don’t see that anymore. Your used dishes are quickly removed. When in Portland this is our choice. We tried the Chinese Super Buffet but the majority of the food was Luke warm. Give this a try. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Always get to pdx early to have time to enjoy chicken and waffles! Love!! Always have awesome service!”

“I know, nobody is perfect BUT our experience was perfect in every way. From our greeting at the bar as we arrived to our exit. The burger and fries were perfect as was the beer on tap. If we had not stopped at another place earlier for Burger Week, we would have stayed longer and drank more. Sad Valley is our new favorite place in the neighborhood. Such an original & creative theme for a bar. Love the decor, the original art is spot on. You either get it or you don't. Sadly I did not have a fabulous cocktail, but looking forward to it on my return.”

“Delightful little spot. I've never seen such a creative take on indian food.”

“This restaurant is EXCELENT The atmosphere is beautiful, the staff is top notch and the food is the best. We will definitely visit again when we go back to Portland.”

“This restaurant makes a very tasty steak and the decor makes you feel very comfortable when you walk in the door. I like this restaurant very much!”

“We celebrated our 42nd Wedding Anniversary today. We have never been here before, but this place has been on our bucket list for a long time. The food was amazing and the service and hospitality were fantastic. I’m sure we will definitely be back.”

“Beautiful venue, amazing food, attentive staff!”

“Seafood was delicious and very good service!”

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

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

“😍 delicious at best !!!”

“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.”

“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!!”

“We sat on the patio, which was perfect for our group of four. We were celebrating an anniversary and Jesse our server was great and accommodating to the one DF/GF member of our party. I'd recommend this restaurant for a celebration!”

“I got airsickness post a long flight, so sick even water was hard for me for a while. This place's Phó Ga (chicken) is literally medicine for the soul, stomach and tastebuds. I cannot recommend them highly enough! p.s. uber eats does 50% off deals sometimes and you can get 2 "orders" (almost 4 meals worth) of phó delivered for under $40 including tip if youre on the vicinity and the quality is unparalleled to places I've been to in NY.”

“We went here to celebrate my wife's birthday. Restaurant is not as noisy as many thanks to the high roof above the inside courtyard. Seating was weird (very low relative to the table top) but the food was excellent. We had the 14 oz grain fed NY and the 18oz grain fed Ribeye both medium rare done to perfection. Sadly the aged steak was unavailable. Potatoes were good but were superfluous because the mushroom side dish would have been enough. I had the tomato soup starter and my wife had the marrow. Both were perfect. Wife's desert was complimentary - chocolate mouse with trimmings. Delicious. We brought our own wine worth about $60. Their wine list is mostly high end but their corkage of $35 still gave us a better option than a wine off their list at a comparable price. Service was good although our food did take a bit longer than expected.”

“Visited Ruth's Chris Portland for my son's birthday dinner — exceptional food and top-notch service. Still one of the best dining experiences in the city.”

“Love the restraint and the people that work in this place love the atmosphere it has too. Pretty awsome place.”

“I came for Drag Bingo & had such a fun time! Loved the deviled eggs!!! I will return for more Drag Bingo.
There was this candle burning in the bathroom that smelled so good! I would still like to find out where they got that candle.”

“As soon as you walk up to this location, you instantly smell the most delicious aroma! The outdoor and indoor space is gorgeous and the cocktail side is equally as cool! With a record player DJ booth... I mean, it doesn't get any better! If you want to try the most delectable menu items, I would suggest Fried chicken, mushroom noodles, tea leaf salad, pork ribs, mango chile margarita, the big dumpling and literally everything else on the menu! This is a Portland cuisine treasure! You and your family will not be disappointed.”

“Came here to celebrate my friends recent promotion. Place is very cozy and eclectic in a great way. Lovely wine selection, plenty of options without being overwhelming. Champagne list was great and reasonably priced. Staff was lovely. Very friendly and welcoming.Kept our champagne chilled for us and made sure our glasses were never empty. Will definitely be back!”

“Everything here was immaculate, drinks included. Loved the flavors in the sandwich and the black sesame cinnamon roll. Also loved the pandan matcha latte, very pandan rich flavor :)”

“Top notch pie! Reminds me of slices I’ve had in NY but somehow way better. Top notch queer and nerdy vibes. Friendliest staff in the land! 10/10 would recommend”

“where to start, we are big good truck goers. A family of 5. makes it great when everyone can get what they want. This place is beautiful, they had a handful of trucks (more coming) but the options were definitely a mix. Something for everyone for sure. The Cuban food truck is a 10/10 highly recommend! The Cuban sandwich was the best sandwich ive had in a long time. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. My husband and kids had burgers, corn dogs, and chicken strips. The burgers were huge. super great flavor, (adding lamb burgers to the menu soon) super excited to come back to try those. Lets talk drinks, I like a good spicy cocktail, however most "full bars" offer Tabasco to spice up my drink. I hate that. I prefer a spicy tequila or a muddled jalepeno. This place has bitters. This was hands down the best spicy margarita (the house margarita with spicy bitters) that I have had since I've been out here. They have have a changing station in the bathroom. a pinball room, and a kids toys section. For families like us, little kids, picky eater, the FULL bar. This is by far the best food truck place we have went to.”

“Haven't been here in years and the food is still absolutely AMAZING! Slightly moved location which works out even better with all of the seating and atmosphere! Thank you as always for being there!”

“The food was so delicious and very fresh! Even better everything was vegan. We got wontons, golden beauty and sweet and sour. The portion size was also very generous. I will be coming back for more!”

“A favorite Portland coffee shop. Unpretentious, non-trendy, super kind staff, incredible baristas (the milk is like a microfoam velvet cloud).

The seating room is so cozy and feels private, a great place to work or hang out with friends. They have padded booths, not wonky wooden tables with no space - actual diner booths!

If anyone has read Before the Coffee Gets Cold, this is how I imagine the basement cafe.”

“Paid Face Plant a visit after hearing many good things from friends. I’ll preface by saying I’m not vegan or vegetarian but was down to give the concept a try.

It’s in a bit of an odd part of town which I was surprised by but it’s a lovely little corner they have. We wound up going in to order vs doing a drive through but it looks as though they could accommodate a large amount of volume. The inside atmosphere is simple but clean with nice branding. Feels classic and timeless.

Food wise went with the standard combo meal with a strawberry shake and a small side of nuggies. The burger as someone who typically eats meat was definitely the closest vegan equivalent I have had. Even the cheese which I usually avoid was pretty solid. It was hearty and tasty. The fries were also good and the shake was a big time standout. Not sure what vegan equivalent they use but the shake was rich and thiccc. Couldn’t have told you it was vegan.

Service was solid and they brought the food to our table which was nice. I can imagine that with a large group or a busy time it could get backed up a bit, but we found it alright. There’s ample parking in the parking lot for guests looking to dine in.”

“Coffee is delish and service is great. Has been a good spot to post up with my laptop for a couple hours while working remotely from Portland. Will miss it when I leave.”

“This quaint macabre wonderland of a cafe has delicious vegan drinks and food. if you're not vegan you won't even know the difference, and you won't miss out on a unique experience I'll be going back! 5 stars*****”

“My favourite place for tea and coffee that I've found in Portland so far. A great little spot to grab a snack on campus between classes, and the store has some really lovely teasets, keychains, and books for sale as well! My favourite is the green tea mocha!”

“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!”

“What a delightful little gem in NW Portland. Stumbled upon this cart by accident and WOW! Food and flavor as authentic as can be. Wonderful people running this cart with true and traditional Mexican ambiance. Will definitely return here!!!”
