Easily one of the most consistent Portland restaurants. Inventive menus, foraged greens and mushrooms, excellent wine, and great people. I’d leave more details but I’m full of Morchella. Just book a table. You’ll have a good time.

Came here with a group from a conference nearby and had an amazing meal with excellent wine selections and recommendations. We knew in advance that our fixed menu would be $95/pp plus wine. We had a delicious meal and would happily return on our next visit to Portland!Highly recommend the focaccia (the butter is to die for) and the rabbit. Thank you for an excellent evening!

We enjoyed a unique and delicious four course set meal featuring foraged ingredients! We really enjoyed the boar bacon, miner's lettuce and watercress salad, and the yummy pavlova. Chef's choice menus are usually wonderful and yours was no exception. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

It's one of our best experiences ever!!! Me and my partner just stopped by they had 2 chairs for us at the bar, got a view of the kitchen, and Chef's ?? ? food was incredible, very fresh, and so much flavors! The atmosphere was great. The staff just had a great time! Leave room for desserts!

Morchella was a really lovely experience, we did the March Dining Month tasting menu on a whim, so we had no idea what dishes we would be getting. The portions were pretty huge actually, and I had to take some of my main course to go so I had room for desert! It's a great place for a special date night, we will definitely have it on our list to go back to! Great wine list too. Would love to see a few more NA options for drinks.

This establishment is cozy. When we first arrived the noise level was quite loud. It did soften as the loud groups left. The menu is limited and well presented with an option that would work for a vegetarian or non-vegetarian: Starters consist of: Half Dozen Oysters, Focaccia, Radiccihio Panzella, Golden Beed Salad, Smokes Sturgeon Dip. Dinners: Celery Root "Scallops", Strozzapreti, Sturgeon, Rabbit Leg and Braised Venison. Desserts: Black Trumpet Mushroom Panacotta or Pavlova. We had Oysters, Focaccia, Sturgeon and Panna Cotta. The golden beet salad was nice with a fresh dill dressing. Sturgeon was amazing with it's melted leek, chard and sumac. The Panna Cotta was delicious as well with it's fennel jam, coconut ice and toasted pine nuts. A surprizing and delicious combination. Presentations of the food are pleasant. Staff is very attentive - little too quick after you get your food delivered to check if it's ok. Pricing for food is fair - $26-32. Wine is on the top end pricing at $19 a glass. Would I dine there again? Yes.
Wonderful meal as usual! We love the recurrent ongoing $1 oysters deals (this time with tasty pomegranate mignonette) but the rest of the menu is delicious. Some of the best or the best focaccia in town and the seasonal butters they make are just delicious. Always have new exciting menu items focused on local ingredients so every time we go it's an adventure!

This forage-focused neighborhood place is a gem. The chef served us and regaled us with details about the menu and ingredients. Authenticity is a term overused these days, but the menu, the food, and the experience were nothing if not authentic. From the handmade focaccia and cracker to the 'Nostrana' salad with boar bacon, this restaurant tries a little harder and succeeds. Given that foraging and seasonal ingredients define the menu, we plan on returning (at least) each season to see what's growing at the moment!

Food was good but couldn't help but be disappointed given the overall experience. To start it was dead, we were the only ones there, and as a result it felt like we were allowed to eat there after the restaurant closed. While that's not strictly speaking the restaurant's fault, we felt the service reflected the end of the night vibe as well. Also, they didn't have any alcoholic drinks on menu for som reason not articulated, seemed to have to do with their license or something. That also put a damper on what was supposed to be a nice dinner out. They also didn't have the main entree on the menu despite it being dead. Just overall not a place I would recommend for those reasons despite the food being good.
Food was very good. No wine or alcohol this week. I wish they had told us about it when we made our reservation. The service was not great. We are both foreigners and not fluent in American; the waitress was not very patient with us when we asked to repeat things.
Food was great. beet salad is unreal amazing! unfortunately we didn't know they weren't serving cocktails so that was a bummer. we also both ordered menu items and the server came back to tell us that the dishes were no longer available so we were thrown for a loop BUT that led us to expanding our palette and their food was so tasty! fun spot, and their plating was fantastic! highly recommend trying this spot.

We found our server to be helpful and attentive with a party of six.Focaccia bread was outstandingMains were all tiny servings - Duck Cassoulet was dry and only half the bowl was filled with stew. Either bad presentation vs serving size or they were out of beans and stew…Sturgeon was well prepared too.Oysters - great!Desserts were ok and tiny.Weird stuff - No Coffee - seriously? And the only N/A drink available sparkling water - seriously

Morchella has been most unique culinary experience I've had in the US! Ingredients I've never heard of, flavors I've never tasted. Able to feel that third-hand experience of the crew and their dish inspirations, and knowing how attainable they are to the guests given the perseverance.
