“We recently dined for our Wedding Anniversary. I tasked my husband with selecting a spot we'd never been with great food and a casual atmosphere. While he would've happily taken me to an upscale establishment, we simply wanted to celebrate in a laid back way. He made reservations to sit in the bar and they were very accommodating. We ended up at the bar, which we prefer. The atmosphere is very unique with a lot of beautiful wood. The structure is what I think is an old house and includes quaint outdoor seating. Had the temp not been in the 90s, we would've definitely sat outside. The Bartender was friendly and helpful with menu selections. I enjoyed a martini and my husband chose wine. We began with crabcakes which were flawless! The Caesar salad was wonderful as well. It included more of the leafy part of the romaine where I prefer the hearts but small thing really. Our shared entree was Alaskan halibut which was prepared simply and beautifully. We were treated by the house to a small lava cake, topped with high quality vanilla ice cream and fresh berries and it was delightful! All in all, we would definitely return to Baird's on B. We could tell that many customers were regular locals and I can see why. What a cute place to be able to walk to. On a sidenote: a group of young ladies, under legal drinking age were seated at a table nearby and they ordered various mocktails. We watched the preparation and these drinks were works of art - including fresh muddled fruit. With a growing trend of adults choosing to forego alcohol, nice option!“
“This was our first time at Grassa and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. We even had a misunderstanding about ingredients and the front manager, Andy, not only took care of it right away for us, he also comped the meal, which amazed us. We will most definitely be back!We had the Luke, the Miles, a Caesar salad, garlic bread, and the gnocchi. All of it amazing!“
“The bar tender went out of his way to help me. My car has a wind break that covers the back seat. I took the piece out of the car and he stored it for me so I would not have to go back to the room. Then we were late getting back from dinner, he stayed until we got back. As expected from the Crown Plaza. The best service.“
“I found this place because of my eldest daughter, who resides in Oregon. We decided to take a road trip from her nearby city and we found this spot. This cafe is located in the business area. The interior of the cafe was nice, which consists of a interior and exterior area. We tried the chicken baja wrap and the cold brew smoothie. Both were very good and a nice portion which filled us up. Its a very nice area and the staff was very friendly. Its definitely a spot I would like to come to again, if I ever come this way again.“
“I'm so sad that Oven & Shaker changed their kale salad. I loved the old salad with the finely shredded kale, grapefruit, delicious dressing and crunchy bread crumbs. The new salad has large pieces of kale, a boring balsamic dressing, and way too many hazelnuts. It lacks the sweet counterpart to the bitter greens. The kale salad used to be one of the main reasons I came to O&S.“
“Delicious food every time we dine in, and fresh margaritas too. Supporting a queer-owned vegan business makes every bite and sip that much better. I would highly recommend their torta with any of their "meat". Music is a little loud, and it's a small environment. Besides that, the vibes are impeccable. We try to make it in every weekend.“
“Come here for the happy hour and stay for all the foods on the menu. Smoked mussel dish was to die for, Oysters are naturally delicious but the sauces here are amazing especially that green fish sauce, I’d bottle that and sell that immediately! Server was amazing and wish I knew their name so I can shout them out. I didn’t order it but $90 for a tasting per person is just too inexpensive for that quality and amazingly tasty dishes. Just want another shout out for the mussel dish on there March 18th menu. Dish will always be in my mind.“
“We chose Guero to meet friends for my birthday dinner. We wanted easy, not overpriced and excellent food. They were very accommodating as our party number grew while we waited for a table as more people showed we weren’t expecting. Staff offered to put our cake in the refrigerator for after dinner — so kind, and even sang to me and lit a candle when they brought the cake out. I may have turned bright red ?The food and drink were delicious and the service superb. Thank you for helping end my birthday Sunday with a lovely time at your fine establishment.“
“Just fantastic! For one reason or another we couldn't go there last time we were in Portland. But we made it happen this time and it was delicious, delightful and just all around great. I enjoy meals made up of many small plates for sharing and that's what we did. We threw some nice vodkas in the mix and were very happy with our experience. The service was very nice as well.“
“My son and daughter in law chose this venue for the reception following their wedding. We had a group of less than 20 people in the private dining room. Fantastic experience. Everyone at the restaurant was helpful on coordinating setup prior to the event. The appetizers, cocktails, entrees and desserts all received rave reviews from the wedding guests. Service was on point and we were extremely pleased with everything. Highly recommended for a small group gathering space (the private room is the perfect size for a group of 20). We will dine here again during our next trip to Portland.“
“Fantastic dining experience; facetted dishes by one kitchen executed well. My party tried many different dishes, they were excellent. Dessert kept the tempo of the rest of the dinner by being equally exquisitely delectable as the rest of the dishes.Foie gras dumpings, the JoJo's, the hazelnut Mille-feuille , the Crab lagoon dip!!!!!“
“I keep coming back for the pork belly fried rice and the massaman curry. Really delicious food, great outdoor seating, and they changed their dessert options recently as well. The banana cake was great with the coconut ice cream. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants.“
“I’ve been living in the Pacific Northwest for over 7 years (in Seattle) and have traveled all over Washington and Oregon. I’ve eaten at countless restaurants ranging in price, style, type of cuisine, etc. This is hands down the best dinner I’ve had in all those 7 years! Each dish is meticulously hand crafted by the chefs (highly recommend sitting at the chefs bar/station)! The flavors are complex, layered, and unique. My husband and I shared the arancini, beet salad, scallop crudo and the soft shell crab sandwich. Every single dish was phenomenal!The craft cocktails were equally as enjoyable with a range of flavors and waves of flavor profiles that came through with every sip. Absolutely incredible, we will be back every time we visit Portland!Highly recommend planning your visit here and making a reservation. We did not make a reservation and waited 90 mins to be seated… although I’d do it all over again to eat that meal!“
“It’s a fun tiki bar in Portland known for its tropical vibe and creative cocktails. With Polynesian-inspired decor and festive drinks served in tiki mugs, it's a popular spot to relax and enjoy a taste of island life.For a first timer it was great! You will not want to leave“
“Incredible food and fun interior/ambiance, though cocktails were mediocre. Highlight of our visit to Portland and visited twice in 2 weeks.The food was unbelievably tasty — they really didn’t compromise on Texan barbecue quality with their Thai focus. The white curry with brisket burnt ends was one of the best dishes I’ve had all year. The massaman lamb curry was phenomenal too.The cocktails (Shoulda Woulda Coulda and Life of Luxury) were unfortunately overly sweet and candy-like. I would skip them and just get a cold Singha draft or their alcohol-based slushies instead.We received cold service on our first visit but super friendly and attentive service on the second. We walked in with no wait on a Monday at 4:30pm and waited 1h30 on Saturday evening at a great wine bar across the street.“
“I got the sausage biscuit and it was amazing. My fiancé got the chicken biscuit and he really enjoyed his. We also got the blueberry French toast and it was perfect, a lot of places can’t get French toast right but they did. Service was also amazing, she always made sure we were good on everything.“
“Amazing boozy brunch at Flattop & Salamander! Spanish coffee provides entertainment and is delightful! The cream sauce on the French Toast is magical. And the fried chicken & waffles was greatly enjoyed by my 15 yo boy who couldn’t stop saying how great they were ((if you have a teenage boy you know how wonderful this is)! We will be back even though it’s a good 20 minute drive for us.“
“Update:Everything is still amazing. Happy hour until 5pm even on weekends. We enjoyed every dish - especially liked the grilled octopus. The farmers salad was really good too - I usually don’t like goat cheese but their salad blends so well and the goat cheese is not gamey only creamy.2023:Nice seafood tapas place and great happy hour before 5pm. Especially liked the shrimp ceviche“
“We have been dining at Gilda’s for 6 months. Thank you to our friends Linda and Paul for introducing us to this wonderful restaurant. The food is authentic and delicious. It is a family owned restaurant and the pride of the naturally sourced ingredients is very evident. Everything is made in house. The service is exemplary! Go, you won’t be sorry!“
“This is an amazing local bar that I hope never becomes famous. It’s full of locals who enjoy an amazing dining experience with some great beers. The owner is one amazing lady who is fully engaged in the bar and loves her customers and it absolutely shows. I will definitely be back to this place multiple times, I had a fantastically fun night and I want to thank everybody I met there tonight. Big shout out to Amanda. It was her first night tonight and she was absolutely amazing.“
“Went here for lunch. Their burgers are very good and the French fries are amazing!. Also have had breakfast here. If you like traditional eggs bacon and potatoes, you will be happy. If you like pancakes, make sure you are hungry because you won't believe how big they are. And very delicious.“
“Fuego Underground is indeed "Fire!" I've been to dozens of Speakeasy establishments in New York, Las Vegas, and even in Central America. Fuego Underground has easily become a top 5 favorite experience for me!It isn't secreted behind an unmarked door or hidden behind a business front, but it has an authentic feel of a Speakeasy from the 20s and 30s. The servers are dressed as flappers, and the interior of the Underground beneath De Fuego bar attached to the Monarch hotel in Clackamas is opulent yet tasteful and reminiscent of the era. There is live piano music at opening, and smooth jazz trios and featured artists later in the evening.The service is on point. Everyone embraces the spirit of the experience being created within the Fuego Underground. The cocktails are heavily weighted toward the whiskey and bourbon drinking crowd, yet all drinks are given the prohibition era spin in presentation. The entrees are predominantly various cuts of beef with some exceptions, and they are of equal quality to any high-end steak house in Portland. The sides are varied and better than most compared to, say, El Goucho or Ringside. I had a Gâteau au Chocolat for desert that was delicious! (even though I had to take it home and eat it 2 hours later for being so full!)Overall, it was an amazing experience! If you love a good Speakeasy, you HAVE to try Fuego Underground. If you just like great steaks and craft cocktails, this is a hidden gem with easy parking, but reservations are recommended. This place is popular and for very good reason.“
“Came here around 1pm on a Saturday and were able to get seated right away. The place is very cute with live plants decor and has a number of healthy food options! I got the vegan bowl with sweet potatoes and loved it! If you aren’t vegan adding an egg to it will also taste amazing! Highly recommend, will be “
“The bar/restaurant is one of the best experiences Portland has to offer. The drinks are fun and tasty. The food menu might be limited but it is absolutely amazing. Every item on the menu is bold, real and will blow your mind. A true gem! The birria takes the crown!“
“Truly my favorite bar, I've been coming here for a couple years and the owner Sarah always says hi. The food is delicious, the drinks are awesome, the ambiance is intimate and chill. My favorite thing is to come here and get a glass of wine and the slab bread with French butter and read my book. It's just the best!!!“
“Highly recommend the food. The service staff seem to be evolving and not particularly well trained. Our server was ten days old. Part of the order forgotten. But, when asked about items on the menu, “I really don't know” was the standard answer. But you can trust this, everything was so fresh and yummy.“
“We made a reservation for the Crybaby room but there was space at the bar when we arrived Friday evening. Very inspiring menu with classy, yet experimental cocktails.We tried the Field of Violets and Philosopher's Path to start, which were both beautifully aromatic. The bartender was very knowledgeable and came up with personalized recommendations that weren't on the menu for our second round. Unfortunately the bartenders were too busy to stay and chat, but we still had a great experience asking them questions and learning about the drinks!“
“I'm obsessed with the vibe of this place... the leather seats, snakeskin wallpaper, open fireplace, photo-op phone booth curated & comfortable all dressed up in black & gold The food is great, staff is nice, one of my favorite bars to go downtown! ✨“
“Always a great place to eat. Happy hour is a great value too. Highly recomend the place. Make sure and get the fuego bread with chimchurri. And steak and fritts are always great. Don't worry there are dome good vegitarian options as well.“
“PDX restaurants usually have atmosphere OR excellent food, Sapphire Hotel has both! The decor is cute. They played good music. The full cheese board was our favorite part. One of the few restaurants worth the cost of eating out in Portland.“
“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.“
“One of the cutest and coziest spot I've been to in awhile. I love thier interior so much! Modern, chic, but still warm. The food menu is Indian-inspired and everything is vegan. We got a plate of the drumstick to share and it's super unique! The texture was pretty close to real chicken but what stood out was the seasonings and flavors. Super spicy, in the best way. Made for a great drinking snack. Lots of unique items to try and share from the menu. For drinks, we got the N/A Creamsicle which was SO GOOD! I would come back just for it. Creamy, not too sweet with a hint of coconut. We also got the Club Lilou which was alright for me. Nothing to rave about but refreshing and summer-y.“
“I had so wanted to come here for the Miracle Pop-Up, but I was too late to the game to get a reservation. I had read that they are reserving some tables for walk-ins, so we got there a few minutes after they opened. I already had concerns as there was already a small line forming, so I wasn't sure they could take us. Thankfully, they allowed us to sit at the bar. It was a fun spot, as there was only two of us, and we got to watch the bartender making all the festive drinks. He was very chatty and nice. I had the Marshmallow and Unicorn and my husband had Santa's Secrets, which was zero-proof. Of course, true to Miracle Fashion both were served in fun mugs/glasses. Of course all the staff and the bar looks like Christmas threw-up on it (in a good way), but what we really got a kick out of, was how well decorated the bathroom was. Even Hallmark movies you don't see decorated bathrooms. I can't recall ever taking a picture in a public bathroom, but this one was absolutely photo worthy.The bartender did mention we were smart to arrive early, and he was right, as when we were leaving I only saw two seats free. Word to the wise, unless you have a reservation I would not attempt to go here on the weekends through the end of the year unless your bring a lot of patience with you.“
“The first time I came here with my ex, and it was great. I've been here since, and still great. So who doesn't love consistency?There's something soothing about a bar with great food, good atmosphere and a sense of purpose that I couldn't find in my previous relationship...“
“Without a doubt one of the best sandwich joints in Portland. Absolutely everything made here is created with a passion for delicious food, and you can certainly tell when you taste it. From the smoked chicken wings, to the burgers, to the properly layered and piled high nachos, you will not be disappointed with anything you get on the menu. Pair anything with their extensive liquor selection and great tap list, along with amazing cocktails they make in house. I feel like when I’m inside, it’s like I’m back in my grandparents basement. It’s cozy and has a great feeling. Patio is great for the summertime. I can’t recommend this place enough.“
“Food was lovely, pasta had a perfect portion size if you’re just in the middle of being hungry and not. Service was good, just took a little long because it was a friday night. Atmosphere was not the best, there was a rowdy table behind my family that just put off out our whole vibe for the night and was very overwhelming for being outside around a lot of other people. (if you easily get overstimulated I suggest eating inside) Totally not the restraints fault, just an unlucky role of the dice“
“The jojos I've been dreaming of! The fried chicken sandwich was also amazing, though i might do it without the slaw next time, just a personal thing. I'll be back! The fried chicken dinner sounded good and the desserts looked great!“
“Recently found a 'Tea house' that serves southeast-asia food. We ordered the Nasi Lemak with Chicken, Fried Beef garlic rice, Lentil Soup Roti, beef masala skew, and fire fish suzi.Nasi lemak is good, chicken is crispy, the sambal is good (but fall a bit short to my expectation), with the ikan billis and quail eggs. This is the must-order.Fried beef /w rice is very well cook and delicious.Lentil Soup is nice but the roti seems to be the frozen-type...not authentic for roti :)Beef masala skew is well made, taste very much like 'satay' in Malaysia:) and the fish is good.The restaurant is pretty small and limited tables, make sure you prebook!“
“You've got to check this place out. Amazing mocktails, beautiful art, great selection of totally nostalgic '90s kids snacks, Pop-Tarts, muddy buddies, but seriously, what an amazing hangout spot. Comfy, cozy, and everyone was really friendly and “
“Really great experience at this restaurant. Food is fantastic and unique. The flavor profile is different than most Indian restaurants. We had Veg Pakora platter, Chicken Skewers and Veg Thali for 2, for drinks we tried the Paloma, Kashmiri Tea and Mango Coconut Lassi. Everything was cooked to perfection, and each dish had its own flavor. Chef/owner was very engaging and attentive to our needs during the meal. Highly highly recommend.“
“The vibe and cocktails are the great, the staff, especially E.J. We’re really on point. My cocktail, the pear hot toddy was amazing, and perfect for a cold rainy afternoon. The only shortfall was the food. Skip the spaghetti and go with the Harissa chicken instead.“
“The entire place was GORGEOUS. The cocktails were delicious, not too sweet but with many flavor notes. Our server was an absolute peach and kept our drinks secret as we tried to surprise each other with cocktails. The music was rad and we’d def recommend the goat cheese beet plate (oh and they’ll top off your order of deviled eggs to an even number to spare a fight over the last odd egg left) We hope to come back soon!“
“I absolutely love My Vice. I live around the corner and have been in a few dozen times over the last year or so. Great little covered and heated patio to sit with my dog. The staff are always very friendly and super attentive. They usually come out with a dog treat and a bowl of water before I get seated. Then it's bloody Mary time. The food is always spot on. The breakfast dumplings are no joke and I don't know what it is about their beef but it's top notch.They've been doing dinner service on Fridays for a while now and the menu is awesome.Vegetarian options: They usually have a variety of vegetarian optionsParking: Parking lot on the side of building holds about 8 to ten vehicles“
“This was my family’s first time eating at Mestizo and we were not disappointed. I have Celiac and my daughter has a severe dairy intolerance. For once, all 3 of us were able to order several dishes to SHARE! This never happens at restaurants with our many dietary restrictions. My non-GF/DF husband loved everything, too. Note: the entire restaurant is 100% gluten free and Celiac safe, but there is dairy present in some of the dishes. However, it was very easy for them to accommodate us by taking an ingredient off, etc. Our favorites were the fried shrimp, elote, fish tacos, and the chicken tinga tostados. The drinks were also amazing. The waitstaff is attentive and kind and our food came out super fast, but still incredibly fresh. The flavors are what put this restaurant over the top for me. Everything had a very specific (delicious) flavor that made the dish special. Do NOT miss out on the GF gem! (I suggest getting a reservation for weekend nights and possibly even weekday night.) My family and I cannot wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: 100% dedicated gluten free restaurant. They also serve several vegan and vegetarian dishes. Dairy free is easy to do here, too.“
“Went here on a Tuesday night and I'm super glad because it is fairly small. Thankfully not a lot of people came out at happy hour time for cocktails so there were only four other sets of folks in there with us. The noise level was perfect for me who is struggling with some minor hearing loss due to my 40 years of living. I like very simple drinks so I ordered an Old Fashioned. It was delicious. And they use Old Forester as their "well bourbon." I love Old Forester. Our server/bartender (doing both jobs) was very nice. He was patient with us. He also wanted to make sure I knew that the Brie was covered in a puff pastry since I said I needed cucumbers instead of bread. I have a gluten and dairy intolerance so there's not a ton of the menu I can eat. That's fine. I went for the booze. All in all it was a good experience. It's definitely not a place I would go on a Friday night. But I will definitely go back during the week. (I don't like bumping elbows with strangers. I'm too old for that crap.) I say if you like premium cocktails, you should totally try it.“
“Great food! Amazing accommodations, very helpful, kind, and knowledgeable staff who worked with my wife to ensure she had a meal with no allergies. The owner came to the table and met with us. She made up a menu ahead of our arrival so we knew what food items were safe, and checked up on us frequently. The waitress was very sincere and helped my grandparents with their orders. Cost was very family friendly, delicious absolutely delicious food! 10 STARS!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ -Nate & ReeAnn Leslie“
“Love how cozy this bar is! Dim lights and vibezzz. To eat I ordered "Trivia tots" and they were great! To drink, I got the spicy margarita and an IPA. Super cozy, hip atmosphere both upstairs and down. My friend and I hung out at the bar since trivia was going on upstairs and we just wanted to chit chat. I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area looking for a quick stopover!“
“This was an amazing find in a city filled with coffee shops. There was nothing stuffy about the place and the service was impeccable. We sat in the window and watched locals stroll in greeted by first name... and we were treated just like we were daily customers as well. If you’re in Portland and you’re near 40 LBS make it a stop!“
“The staff was amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The cocktails were also excellent, loved the Penicillin I got. The decor in the building was also fun, but the downstairs bar was a bit humid, muggy, and was hard to be in. So we spent our time “
“We dined in. We had the light meals and there was plenty of food. I prefer small meals and still had enough to take some leftovers home. Staff was friendly, knowledgable of menu and service was great!Parking: Parking garage had plenty of space. Street parking depending on time is tighter. No issues parking with the garage right there.“
