I'm from the Santa Rosa, CA area, which is almost a complete wasteland for fine dining. And I hope that all of you Portlanders know how lucky you are for all of the wonderful eating establishments you have. All the way from Clyde's to 82 Acres. I have the best daughter-in-law in the world (actually two of them). Amy can sniff out a new restaurant like nobody's business. And she hit big-time on this one. We ate on the patio, which is beautiful, and my 3 year old niece had the time of her life in the bamboo 'forest' looking for pandas and koalas. We had two of the most charming women as servers, but I wrote down their names on the merchant-copy of the receipt, so I can't tell you who they were. As stated in the other reviews, this is a foodie's ideal. I you are going to order the hamburger, which is good, order something green for the table with it. If you want medium-rare, order rare. They change the menu alot, so I hope this is still be on it when you go. For dessert, "The Floating Island". Start with cream anglaise, then add green strawberries and rhubarb around the edges (totally counter intuitive for me, but worked perfectly!) and in the middle is a rectangle of meringue (the best I have ever had in my life) and a spoonful of lime granite to top it off. Spectacular! Go for it and Go !!! read more

We loved it! Wonderful farm to table dinner Everything was special and delicious amazing service! Will be back read more

I loved 82 Acres so much! It is a very cute space with a super friendly staff. The food is delicious and while I couldn't try everything (I've been a few times now), they are very accommodating to gluten-free needs which I always appreciate. The sweet potato was by far the best thing on the menu. It's also a nice place if you're looking for a solo bar seat - which they take reservations for! It's on the pricier side but the quality of food, service and atmosphere make it well worth it! read more

After a girls getaway to Abbey Road Farm it was essential to finish with a farm-to-table dinner at 82 acres. The majority of ingredients are sustainably grown & harvested from their 82 acre farm. Everything else is locally sourced in the Willamette Valley. Love how it all ties together. read more

Personally don't get the hype, but it was a pleasant meal. Highs: carrot falafel, mussel toast Meh: plum salad, roasted chicken, AR wines Lows: halibut, opened w/o farm egg read more

We had a lovely anniversary celebration at 82 acres. We ordered some of the greatest hits: carrot falafel, mussel toast, half chicken, and cheese plate, then tried some season offerings: plum salad and halibut. The mussel toast was really well executed with good balance of flavor and texture. We also enjoyed the carrot falafel- carrot flavor for very well. Half chicken was juicy and huge in portion and tastes great even as left over. Service was attentive and not overbearing and the ambiance was cozy and intimate. Looking forward to the next visit. read more

Exceeded our expectations! The menu was not exactly what my wife had envisioned for our Valentine's dinner (on 2/13) but each dish that we enjoyed more than exceeded our expectations. Everything was delicious. Attentive staff, the host, waitress and several others checked in on us often. So delicious! We'll be back. read more

The space is beautiful! The service was really attentive. I ordered a mezcal margarita, the beet dish and the steak frites. Margarita delish. The beet dish was out of this world. The steak was okay, it was very fatty. I asked for med rare and definitely got med well. It was more chewy than melt in your mouth, like I was expecting. The fries and fry sauce was yummy. Overall, I would come back to try more veggie dishes! read more

A bit of a work in progress but there is lots of potential. Billed as farm to table. We had the chicory salad, oysters, carrot falafel and lobster, finishing with the date cake. The salad had a lot of dressing, oysters were super fresh (dipping sauce was a little different), falafel was excellent, lobster was done well and the cake was super yummy. Service was friendly. They have some kinks to work out here or there and probably will be worthy of five stars at some point. Sits in a very cozy neighborhood with lots of pre and post function options. read more

82 Acres - Carrot falafel. Very unique and delicious. - American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I'm not a fan of taking pictures of food. I understand why people would want to take pictures - however, it's not my thing. 82 Acres is the kind of restaurant made for people who don't want to make the primary focus of the evening getting the "just right" IG photo. Instead, it's a neighborhood eatery with all the boxes ticked. 82 Acres is a foodie restaurant for people who love food. The food with the highest quality ingredients and plated with impeccable presentation. There is an attention to detail that makes the food taste even better. From the flavorful salads to the just so perfectly creamy barata, there is a distinct focus on the food at this place. Not to overlook the ever important pairing component of a great meal, 82 Acres has a diverse range of offerings from right here in our backyard, and from the European stalwarts. The space is refreshing and inviting - elegant, but not off putting. The patio area is charming and inviting. The service is knowledgeable, attentive, and convivial. The open kitchen area offers a great view of the chefs at work - without making the buzz of the service line overwhelm dinner conversations. 82 Acres is great. The kind of restaurant that will make it onto our list of go-to places. read more

This place is perfectly how I like to enjoy my eve out. The server was extraordinary. He gave us the rundown of the farm and winery plus descriptions of each item served. First we had the mussels on toast. It was spread with a Aoili and topped with flowers and herbs from the farm. Then came the crudo. The juice that the fish swam in was plate-lickable. Next was a plate of a farm-raised crudite and yogurt dip. Each veggie and fruit was fresh and super yummy. Last but not least beets from the farm on goat cheese whip. All so fresh, yummy and served in it rustic but gourmet beauty. This is a place I will repeat visits and have now gone twice. You can't go wrong. Love the relaxed vibe combined with the fresh food and skill of how they are serving each item. read more

This place was awesome! We'd go back. We were visiting from Chicago, and having just arrived that day, decided on an early dinner. We were seated outside and greeted by lots of lush greenery. It was lovely! We ordered a mezcal old fashioned and a trousseau gris from Abby Road for me. Yum! Also, we just tried our first winery of the trip. We ordered the oysters with the lemon verbena tamarind gelee. Great salinity and the gelee paired beautifully. Also has the summer squash, carrot falafel, and steak frites, plus more wine. Oh, and the pork katsu special was stupid good! Our server was awesome too! read more

Funny but we made a reservation at a nearby restaurant and when our Uber driver dropped us off and said the name of the restaurant, we jumped out and went in. When we said we had the reservation and the hostess didn't show us listed I assumed I simply didn't finalize the reservation. She was able to seat us. We had an amazing meal and a fabulous wait staff. Oysters, artichoke salad, seafood/rice dish. My partner and I had had some great meals during our Portland stay. This was the last of our 5 nights. We are foodies and we both agreed that 82 Acres hit the high marks on everything! It was the most casual of all but the ambiance worked! Only when we were closing our tab did it become clear that we had gone in the wrong restaurant. We are so glad we made that mistake and we needed up having our fav meal at 82 Acres!!! You will love it like we did, I am sure!! read more

From a certified foodie, this place was the highlight of my trip to Oregon and maybe of all the restaurants I've been to this year traveling. So much is local and organic in this town but this place surpassed expectations. Food was impeccable delicious and the only think ill miss from the city of Portland. Service and the outdoor table Made it even more memorable. Do not miss this farm to table restaurant! read more

Finally, a new restaurant opening in Portland that actually got me excited. I had heard of 82 Acres taking over the old Quaintrelle space, and that they source their ingredients from their partner Abbey Road farm, so obviously I was intrigued. I can assure you that this place absolute merits five stars, and you should ignore that recent two star review (which I frankly feel makes no sense). The highlights: the dishes here use locally grown ingredients and become really lovely representation of the PNW farmscape. Biting into the mussel escabeche toast shifted the course of my life. I also don't have the time or energy to fully describe each plate we ordered (that's why the menu exists for you), but we ate and loved the farm eggs, chicory and pear salad, hiramasa with melon, sun chokes with miso butter, steak frites, and caviar on a tiny English muffin. I want to thank the chefs for putting a burger on the menu that isn't smashed to a crisp, Portland diners can finally sink their teeth into a thick, juicy patty. Round out your meal with a selection off of their rolling cheese cart, a dim sum-esque treat where you can lay eyes on cheese before committing (and you will likely want to commit to them all). Our servers have been appropriately attentive and bring clean dishes and cutlery with each course. The improveables: not a lot to mention. My first visit I ordered the lobster tail, which came out sans shell and quite tiny. I was initially disappointed until I tasted it, and realized that quality does trump quantity in this circumstance. I also found that the roast chicken, while excellently cooked, could have been served with a more citrous sauce. All personal preferences, of course. I sincerely hope that 82 Acres becomes even more talked about and frequented by Portlanders. Yes, they are shaking the dust off of just opening, but I have no doubt that this spot will offer amazing dining experiences with each day. If you've been searching for your next new place to try, pop over to SE Portland and grab a table here. read more

My wife and I were up for Oysters and the restaurant we wanted to go to was highly rated on Yelp, so we took Uber to the address and to our surprise 82 Acres was located there and not our restaurant, I asked 82 Acres where was this other restaurant and they indicated they moved 4 blocks up the road, 82 Acres was very polite about the other restaurant. We finally arrived at the other restaurant and we were surprised to learn we had to wait 60+ minutes to get in. So much for the $1 oyster's happy hour. We decided to go back to 82 Acres and it turned out to be the better choice. The food is farm-fresh and the menu is great.... To many good choices and so little time to enjoy everything. Our sever Delaney was Super!!! We started with a dozen oysters follow by their pork chop that cooked to perfection and was large enough for my wife and myself. We ended the meal with a canelé and WOW it was over the top and was so delicious. This is a must try! I guess the lesson to be learned, business owners should take more time to update their information on the web, yes it does take time and the other restaurant with the $1 oysters, made up excuses as why the address was still incorrect...... there loss was 82 Acres gain. I'll make sure next visit I'll make 82 Acres first supper! read more

This was one of the most expensive dining experiences I've ever had and it was worth every penny. Everything we ordered exceeded our expectations completely. Drinks were delicious. Great service and a more than decent location and ambiance. Top 5 dining experience no question. read more

82 Acres - Broccoli sprouts and cheese cart selections. - American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Realized it was day 2 of them being open. Sat at the bar. Still seems like they are working out the kinks and the bar environment is struggling. Excited to see what happens once they get everything worked out. A more experienced bartender would create a more pleasing environment. She seemed to struggle and a little green reading measurement and making drinks that didn't work. Also could prob save some money! Some drinks were poured heavy! But on a good note,the Steak Frites was amazing! read more

82 Acres - Heavy old Fashioned pour! - American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We've been twice now and aren't sure we'll return. The menu is the standout--thoughtful, seasonal, and truly delicious. But the service feels at odds with the space. It's friendly, but overly polished and performative--almost like they're aiming for fine dining in a setting that calls for warmth and ease. A neighborhood restaurant should feel genuinely welcoming, not stiff or overly choreographed. The current approach creates a disconnect that takes away from what could be a really special experience. read more

We enjoyed the ambiance in the indoor area. Service was impeccable. We had the starters of hamachi crudo (very fresh, thickly cut, amazing citrus sauce), beets (pickled flavors of dill and mustard seed, mild horseradish) and snap peas and shoots (Parmesan shaving cloud) all were fantastic. We then shared the steak frites. New York cut medium rare, generous pile of frites, sauces included chili crisp. Very well prepared. We will be back often, and appreciate this new addition to our neighborhood. Thanks for the luscious and memorable meal. read more

We had an amazing time at 82 Acres! The food was great and the ingredients were sourced from their own farm. Definitely don't miss trying the muscle toast and the roast chicken (which fun fact takes 3 days to prepare). The service was outstanding, our waitress was so helpful, friendly and attentive! read more

Anyone who went to Holdfast when it was open for the tasting menu is familiar with the quality and artistry of Will Preisch. This is continued at his new restaurant, 82 Acres. The restaurant has a few mains, but the small plates will probably discourage you from trying them. It certainly did for me. I had five of them, and to call them superb is probably faint praise. The combination of creativity, top quality ingredients, superb sauces that enhance the dishes, and perfect preparation make it possible to experience a meal that is exciting both visually and in taste. Every dish was wonderful to savor - the flavor of each ingredient was present, nothing was overpowering, which is difficult to achieve. The restaurant continues the quality and artistry experienced at Holdfast. Both the atmosphere and service were exceptional. read more

Truly carried on the spirit of Holdfast. Everything from the unique food to the thoughtful staff was exceptional. They just opened but will no doubt be a portland staple. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu. read more

Holy crap. It was delicious. We had the Sprouting broccoli which was really good with a rich creamy cheese sauce. Which was a heavier starter. While the Burrata was super refreshing. Not too salty but perfect with the crunchy toast it's served with. Caviar wasn't my thing but was apparently really yummy if your into that kinda thing. For my main I had the Steak frites. Wow. It was the best steak i've ever had and honestly I normally really don't like steak but today I had decided to take a chance... I'm so glad I did, it was so tender and cooked perfect. Juicy with a lovey sear on the outside. Topped with a hollandaise and chili crunch. Which gave it a nice touch of spice. Fries with it were good but the steak of course was the show stopper. I'd go back again and again just for that. We finished it off with the french toast which was alright. Not the most amazing but good. Though it tasted like banana which kinda threw me off. Overall such a good dinner and the staff were nice. read more

If you're hoping for a Quaintrelle redux, you're going to be disappointed. The food here is ungenerous in its portioning, uninspired in its execution, and generally upsetting. After multiple dishes, we left hungry and had to stop by the Horseshoe for a salad and pasta bang bang. Farm food should be hearty and comforting and sizable. This menu is diminutive, cold, and dim. Granted, we didn't get the steak frites or burger, and those items looked like they had some heft. But a place like this should ensure that you're not getting fleeced when you order a lobster or a farm egg or anything else they put on the menu. If you can't do it right, then don't do it at all. Anemic lobster tail with a shrink-ray citrus salad? Two halves of a farm egg for $12, drowning in a mayoesque sauce? Weird carrot falafel that lacked a key ingredient-- something resembling pita? To be fair, the essence of carrot was tasty, but then the dish fizzled to nothing with, once again, poor portioning of ingredients such as the tiny dollop of yogurt that left the mouth dry and angry. I beg the Portland culinary pantheon to conjure up a bistro-- a delicious, simple, tasteful bistro-- a place where you can get a great steak or salad or meatloaf, a special or two, and the pleasure of knowing that there's a seat at the table every week for nice food and drink that leaves you satisfied. They know your name, they pour you a little extra, and it's your place where for a little while all goes down well and you don't leave hungry. Nobody in the kitchen has anything to prove other than their dedication to hospitality, generosity, and the glowing warmth of a classic dish done well. I didn't find that on these 82 acres. read more
