“Han Oak comes with high praise and I had really high expectations about dinner.Banchan - the OTA beancurd dish was great, simply because the beancurd was just outstanding. Tastes like a creamy soy burrata - just makes me wanna go to OTA tomorrow! Appreciate that they did a simple chilli-vinegar dressing on it. Just let the star ingredient shine!The kimchi was a little underwhelming. Not much balance of heat, salt and acid… just alot of acid. I wonder if it would fare better with longer fermentation.The corned beef soo yuk is awesome - I can see the chef’s brilliance here. Great interpretation of a traditional dish. The thinly sliced fatty beef goes great with sliced veg. Great texture and flavour. The yuzu packs a punch and makes the corned beef work so well here… while not overwhelming the broth, which is just awesome - save it so you can have it with the rice later. This dish is 5star!Perhaps the gimbap is just not a dish that allows the chef to show his/her finesse and skill. Beef and pork were cooked and seasoned nicely tho the rest of the ingredients basically needed no cooking - a basic pickle, saute or served fresh.Personally, I feel a gimbap tastes way better in a roll cos the mouthfeel of a well packed roll - when you bite into the various flavours and the texture/ crunch just bursts in your mouth - is simply lost when deconstructed.Bingsu - it’s pretty standard fare tho here’s a suggestion… this would be way better if the pineapple and mango toppings were on top - as they usually are. Not hidden at the bottom.I thk it was gojucharu sprinkled on top - that does nothing for bingsu on its own. Well… maybe if there was more condensed milk, that could work. But chilli powder on ice? Hmm.Tho when you dig down to the fruity flavours at the bottom, then you can tell why the combi works. A clever twist on mango with spice but lost in the order of presentation.Tip - dig in quickly without toppling the bingu mountain! Small tweak that would hugely improve the experience.Maybe the chef was trying to turn the bingsu on its head creatively.. but I thk the usual way fares better.Good service with chirpy staff. May come back when they have a different menu and would recommend you to consider that.“
“I love this place thru & thru! If you haven't been, do yourself a favor. So chilled, with a poetic and tepid groovy vibe, this spot is hotter than lukewarm. All the puns not intended actually. It's just a well designed little place to enjoy attendant service, tiny or not so tiny dishes of luxury, and a balanced ambiance erring on the side of elegance. Come. You won't regret it.“
“The food was amazing. The restrooms where very dirty. Please keep your restrooms clean for customers.Also while servingbe more attentive to your customers. Please show that you appreciate the customers that support you,Not just your friends and family.“
“What a gem! We don't eat vegan exclusively but have egg and dairy allergies so getting burgers with cheese and ranch and shakes was awesome! The buddy stix (mozzarella) were not bad but the Paddy's Melt and Newport Nightmare were both great and the Smashed to pieces shake was so good we came back another time just for more shakes! This place is located inside Swan Dive and did not have a sign outside (as they moved recently to the kitchen inside).“
“Phenomenal cocktails, delicious food, and delightful service! We come to this place regularly thanks to their fun and extensive drink menu (the Golden Friendship might be my fave, but they also have great "0 proof" mocktails), Asian-fusion menu (the pork katsu sando is amazing and can be split), and the 3 guys who run it. The place has a low-key cool nerd vibe thanks to the cocktail names and light decor. They frequently have trivia and drink & draw nights, which are fun.Vegetarian options: It's easy to substitute tofu as a protein, and there are several vegetarian items on the menu.Dietary restrictions: If you are cutting back on alcohol, they have several mocktails that won't leave you missing booze.“
“We had a Rubin panini is special in honor of St Patricks day. Yummy. They also have special cocktails and a wide selection of beer including Guinness. Service was friendly and attentive. Since this is a bar, no kids are allowed. Happy hour is 2-6pm.“
“We showed up to Portland with a hungry track team of 40. We called Mother’s very last minute, and they were more than willing to accommodate us! We showed up and they had already set up seating for us, and were extremely efficient and kind with rounding up all of the orders. The food came out shockingly fast and was to die for. Me and one of the other coaches split the Mike’s Scramble and it was bliss after one bite. Even with the huge group, the staff was great about checking on everyone and making sure we all had drinks and were served.Overall it was a great experience during a very hectic trip to Oregon. I would highly recommend Mother’s to anyone who is visiting the area and give a huge thank you from Boise High Track & Field!“
“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“
“Tomorrow's Verse is one of our favorite Portland establishments. The beer selection is top notch, the space is open and inviting, and the staff is always welcoming. They offer savory hand pies and permit outside food too--there is a wealth of excellent food options all along NE Fremont. Additionally, Tomorrow's Verse has a patio area--it became our living room during the height of the pandemic. If you're into live music, Tomorrow's Verse frequently hosts bands and streaming concerts. I cannot recommend Tomorrow's Verse enough.“
“If you have anyone in your life that likes video games this is the place. Super intimate setting with private game room and open patio. This is the best place to take any gamer in your life. Food and service is top tier.Vegetarian options: Come here is you like games. Super safe and friendly environment. One of the best bars in Portland.“
“Went here for the first time on Tuesday. Great spot for beer in a charming old house! The staff was very nice and I could tell they take a lot of pride in the beautiful space they've created.And Erica's Soul Food cart on the back patio was Delicious!“
“Staff was so nice!! Barely any pictures of food so we didn’t think they sold food but their menu is amazing. I had the steak sandwich which was very tender and my boyfriend had the burger. It was super delicious!! And once again the staff is so friendly!“
“With so many locations with their own vibe, this was a pleasant departure. Some high tops and regular seating, but the whole place is a mash up of liquor store, bar and we'll appointed gift shop. Has a light and casual vibe that is great for a quick drop in. Cocktail selection is limited, but the options to select and pour from sale stock is exceptional.“
“Little neighborhood bar with truly excellent bar food. It was pretty quiet when we went in but drinks were good, staff was friendly, but otherwise that was about as much as I would say about it. Decent but not amazing patio, a sort of lounge seating area. Could be a decent place to grab some drinks.“
“This place is delightful! I've been in twice and both visits were wonderful. The staff are super nice, the cocktails are extremely good, and the food is amazing. We had a tofu "chicken" sandwich and a veggie corn dog; both were so tasty I wished I was hungry enough to order more. The prices for them were also very acceptable. My only note would be that it fills to standing room sometimes in the evenings so I recommend coming in earlier if you want to be able to get a table or a space at the bar.Vegetarian options: They do have some vegetarian options and they're quite good! They have a chicken sandwich with a free tofu substitution, a Field Roast veggie corn dog, a fancy grilled cheese, and a shrimp and grits with a squash substitution.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!!!“
“DING DONG we have a five star Champion! Cozy, stylish hotel bar with welcoming staff and delicious cocktails. Carmen, the bartender greeted us with a friendly smile every night during our extended stay. Coming back after dinner and enjoy a night-cap at the Driftwood made our day(s). The hotel itself is nice, but this cozy bar is the cherry on top! Thank you for your hospitality“
“Terrific experience! My boyfriend has been here twice and couldn't wait to bring me. We live in the neighborhood and couldn't believe we hadn't found this place sooner. We were impressed by the presentation of our drinks, appetizers, and entrees. We also enjoyed the best crab ragoons we've ever had (ordered 2 more to-go). Everything about the restaurant was clearly well thought-out. From the dining area to the bar to the bathroom, it is well-designed and extremely clean. To top it off, the owner of restaurant was super friendly and took time to chat with us. We are already making plans to bring our friends next week. Love this place!“
“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“
“Great place to get a drink, popcorn and hummus are awesome. Reasonable prices. I don’t love the new furnishings in the back room. Seating is really high and hard to move around to accommodate people getting up etc. I liked the old set up better.“
“Great pinball bar in a tight space. The machines are kept in exquisite order and play great - I had my personal best on every machine I played. The team is passionate and knowledgeable. The Howdy Pardner organized play format is really fun!“
“Soooooo glad we decided to check this place out! We went in a group of three and did two of the Succulent Pots and a leather Flask Holder! Super impressed with the quality of all the tools, variety of craft options, the two FREE drink tickets per person, and the helpfulness and knowledge of Molly who had allllll the tips and tricks for us when we (I mostly) needed support! Will definitely be returning- ambiance was great, playlist seemed catered just to us, and everyone was so friendly! Really recommend planning like fifteen minutes to find parking lol unless you’re really lucky!“
“I absolutely love the decor of The Slide Inn, it really feels like I have stepped into an entire different country when i walk in. The food AND drinks are always a win, and they have great vegan and gluten free offerings, as well! The pita and hummus plate is the best I've ever had. ?Dietary restrictions: Vegan, gluten-free“
“My partner and I come here every now and again, the server Tia is always so friendly and patient with us while figuring out our drinks and the comedy shows on Thursday nights are hands down the best and most well curated “underground” comedy in Portland. 10/10 would recommend if looking for a great taproom.“
“Great place to pregame before heading over to the Moda Center. Two drinks for the price of one at the Moda. Food carts choices at good. We got food from the far back corner cart. Everything was really good and fast cook time. Kid friendly. Lots of gluten free choices. Three cider options and lots of mixed drink choices. Many group seating spots and covered picnic tables outside.“
“The tacos are really tasty (though I have only had the al pastor and chicken), I imagine the others are good as well. The Keto tacos are unique being a fired cheese shell, and are really good. The guacumole is chucky and plentiful both on the side or with their tasty nachos. The Mexican fried rice is a combination Spanish rice and Asian fried rice, very different and good. The burrito takes 2 hands to hold, it is big, also flavorful. I highly recommend eating here, I do at least once a week. The owners are also really nice people!“
“The cocktails and food are definitely worth the journey, but it’s the atmosphere and attention to detail that make Bellwether shine. Has the feel of a French-inspired saloon at the turn of the last century,or something straight out of Paris itself.“
“I went with my family during Happy Hour and the food was delicious.For starters we ordered some ricotta cheese crostinis that were delicious and a "small" salad which was more than enough for 3 people.The pizza was a delight but the best thing was to accompany it with a delicious sangria.I highly recommend this place.“
“Stopped in a couple of days ago after a long, cold hike in the rain. Even though they had finished serving coffee for the day, Jesse was so nice to make me a pour-over hot coffee - just what I needed to warm up, and such a great cup of coffee! ☺️ Will definitely visit again next time I'm in the area!“
“Good atmosphere indoor and out. Plenty of outdoor seating with heaters. Food tasted great. Long wait to order and for food to be made every time I went since they have you order at the bar and the bartender is also busy serving folks drinks. 30-45+ minutes.Not sure why they don’t add a hostess to take food orders at a podium or have online ordering with table QR code scans to avoid the problem. They also ask you not to form a line so it is a bit awkward to tell who was first. You can also order as takeout on your phone and your food will come in boxes rather than plates.I recommend if you want yummy vegan food, good atmosphere, and you aren’t in a rush.Vegetarian options: Fully vegan menuDietary restrictions: Fully vegan menu“
“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!“
“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.“
“What an amazing night we had! We were celebrating our 26th Wedding Anniversary and everyone of the staff went out of their way to make sure it was the best night possible for us and all wishing us a Happy 26th Anniversay. The food was excellent, the care of professionalism was the best bar none. We will be back!Our gratitude to Mark our waiter and the entire staff, please don't forget to thank them all for us, even our car attendant was kind and courteous.I can't say Thank you to each and everyone for such a delightful night and a memory we will hold in our hearts and minds for the rest of our lives. And also to the gracious lady at the next table who paid for part of our dinner. We feel truly blessed.“
“We went with omni friends. We ordered the onions for a table share and we all agreed they were the best onion rings we'd ever had! I don't know how they do that crust but holy cow! Just those are worth the visit. I do wish the place was completely vegan but maybe they figure it's a way to get omnis in the door? My husband had the Original, an ooey gooey fistful of goodness! I had the bbq tofu bowl which was delicious! The tofu was perfectly cooked and a little smoky, filling and delicious. I highly recommend!“
“Absolutely loved dining here before our concert at crystal ballroom. With the venue right around the corner it was a great spot to sit at the bar get cocktails and have a REALLY yummy dinner. I highly recommend the fried Brussel sprouts (they are gf) and the steak salad was also yummy ! Can’t wait to come “
“I have been trying to try Lua for awhile now. But learn from my mistakes and double check the open hours before planning a visit. BUT, the wait was well worth it. The food tastes amazing and was surprised by how well things were priced for the great quality.The fish sauce chicken wings were straight from flavortown and the pork banh mi was so well cooked. Definitely want to come back and try new dishes. Thanks for the great service!“
“Great little neighborhood bar with vintage vibe. Rochelle was a great bartender! I gave only 4 stars instead of 5 because the music was awful for the 2.5 hours I was there. We would have stayed longer but listening to loud punk rock in a cool vintage bar didn't match and seemed most customers were also annoyed with music. That is a huge part of the experience.“
“I've stopped by many times over the years to leave concert posters and postcards, but last night was the first time I had a meal there. The pork shoulder and fried brussels sprouts in hoisin sauce over noodles, side salad with blue cheese dressing, and a pint of doppelbock. It was absolutely delicious, a perfect end to a long day running around all over. Comfortable seating, friendly folks, books all around you, low key live music. They let us know they'd just tuned the piano, but the solo act started in before I had a chance to try out a little low key Brahms. :-) Maybe next time.“
“10/10 classiest bar in Foster. Come for the slushies, stay for the adult lunchablesDietary restrictions: I’m unfortunately lactose intolerant, but they have plenty of delicious options where I actually forget for a moment that I miss the taste of cheese“
“A gem of a place in St Johns. This really is a great little bar to sit back, relax and enjoy a pint in. Pet Friendly and just very chill, it's the type of place where you stop in for a pint, but stay for the conversation. An impressive selection of beers are on tap, there's a small and simple food menu that just sits right. Art and doggy treats can also be found for sale here. Glad I stopped in and I'll be stopping in again for sure!“
“My favorite neighborhood bar! Really great selection of beers, cider, and wine – not to mention all of the beverages you can snag in the fridge if you're on-the-go. Super nice staff, really accommodating, mellow vibe, and overall just great ambiance. Give this spot a shot!“
“I had dinner there tonight and left happy. I kept it simple with their spaghetti and meatballs and the dish was phenomenal. Great service and atmosphere, along with really great food. I look forward to going back and exploring their menu more.“
“Great setup with the various food vendors that are part of the building. Lots of different styles of beer and the server was friendly. The Timbers were on TV and this seems like a fun place to watch a game but we couldn’t stick around. Would like to come back in the summer and enjoy the covered patio.“
“I came here for a sandwich but stayed for a cocktail.Both were awesome, but what shocked me was how affordable it was since the price of everything has been skyrocketing. And even then, the rye bread tasted super fresh, and the sandwich was loaded!The bartender was really fast with taking orders and making cocktails and then my food came out pretty fast also. They had a great selection cocktail essentials and local beer and spirits.Looking forward to trying one of everything.I like the giant windows to let in all of the sunlight and you have a nice view of the West Hills and all of the cars sitting in a traffic jam on I-5 lol.“
“Great service and a good mix of clientele. Pay attention to their awesome specials on the board, both food and drink. The patio is roomy and there's usually a place inside to sit if you want to play shuffleboard. Pick up some swag to remind yourself too return.“
“I’m elated that this bar is under new ownership, I spent NYE here and it was a blast! I went back for my birthday. Entertainment is excellent-drag and burlesque shows, bands and comedy too. I’ve had a wonderful time every time! OH and the bar tenders are really incredibly nice and accommodating. Can’t recommend enough!!“
“Excellent spot for drinks and beers. Nice outside patio with umbrellas and tables. The interior is charming and reminiscent of a Parisian Cafe. Friendly service and food available from The Baghdad Theater. 3 stars for the food which I consider very expensive for simple fare.“
“The best pizza I’ve had, and I eat pizza a lot. We had the pepperoni and the garlic arugula pizza and my friend and I kept just saying how good it was. It’s the kind of pizza you feel like you should keep talking about but you come up short everytime you try.“
