Really cute spot to grab a drink and a small bite. Vibey music, cute girly aesthetics…read more I had the strawberry cooler cocktail which was yummy, tho a little on the sweet side and it might as well have been a mocktail bc there was very little booze in it. Not even a whisper of a buzz and I drank it on an empty stomach. Whether that's a good thing or bad is in the eye of the beholder (belly of the drinker?). I wanted to try their dessert but it was sold out so I got their bread and butter which was steaming hot but it was really soft and spongey like it was microwaved. I wanted more of a crisp on the crust and it tasted a bit burned or like it was wheat bread. The butter and jam it's served with were yummy tho. Service was slow. There's only 1 bartender who can't really keep up if there's a crowd. We sat with empty drinks for quite a while and waited for the bill even longer. Good spot to go if you're not in a hurry and not trying to get drunk and not hungry.

Great place! Amazing ambiance…read more. I'm a regular customer here the staff is extremely friendly and fun. There was a deranged couple that came in on 7/23/26. They were really aggressive about using the bathroom the staff was really professional and tried to de-escalate! This is great spot for friends family and the snacks and drinks are amazing.

Today I was really craving oysters, so I looked up what was around me and this cute little spot…read morepopped up. The ambiance was adorable, with such a nice patio out back--perfect for a warm day! Unfortunately, oysters are only available on Sundays, but we decided to grab a couple of other little snacks instead. We got the steak tartare, and I have to say, it was honestly some of the best I've had in a long time. It had the perfect smoky touch and absolutely hit the spot. We also tried the sardine plate, which was such a fun little snack. The tzatziki sauce surprisingly paired so well with the Spanish sardines and really pulled everything together. Spanish sardines with a Middle Eastern-inspired sauce? Pretty clever! Our server was also lovely and came out to check on us throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. For just a little drop-in snack, the whole experience was surprisingly memorable and definitely left us wanting to come back. Such a cute spot! I'll definitely be adding this one to my list of go-tos with friends. Can't believe it's been right around the corner and I'm just discovering it!

Dare I say it? Someday might be my second favorite spot to get seafood in Portland, right behind…read moreJacquelines - which if you know the cult following on Jacquelines in Portland, that is saying something. The ambiance is downright whimsical! Great wine selection, gorgeous floral installations, and one of those spaces where you immediately want to settle in with a book in hand. But let's talk about the crudo. I still think about that crudo. Bright, lemony, silky olive oil - simple but done so well. We even asked our waitress if we can keep the leftover olive oil to use it with the bread we ordered lol The oysters were also fantastic. They were barbecued, which isn't something you see every day. A little drier than a raw oyster, but still full of flavor. Limited seating so be sure to call ahead of time for a reservation if need be. This feels like the kind of place you celebrate something special, and honestly, I would not mind spending a birthday here at all! Worth it. btw the alleyway walking up to this place is so charming.

Fantastic wallpaper that has the feeling of William Morris gone wild or jungle. Black and white film noir with Gene Kelly and other is playing on the screen and there is a black-and-white ink drawing of a recognizable actor in the corner complete with candles lit in vigil. We all had cocktails, mine was a chilled bar martini dirty with extra olives. And they really understood the assignment with the olives. Between us we had a dozen and a half Shigoku oysters from Washington state. And fresh grated horseradish was a bonus alongside the mignonette. The table favorite after the oysters were the deviled eggs. You have to try the truffle popcorn with the fluffy freshly grated Parmesan. That will disappear quickly. The service was attentive throughout our two hour visit. Matthew checked in regularly without being overly solicitous. Looking forward to returning again. Wonderful outdoor eating area that we didn't take advantage of this time but absolutely plan to.

The Sapphire Hotel is no longer a hotel. It was in the early 1900s... And you could say the guests…read moreat that time were a little shady (let's just say some rooms were rented by the hour). The restaurant is what used to be the lobby. It is known for being dimly lit, a little romantic, a little old school. They are open late when not a lot of other places around are, which is how I ended up here after another event. They have happy hour from 4-6pm and then a late night happy hour after 10pm. The building could use some love from its landlord. The toilet was leaking, there's asbestos wrapped pipes visible on the ceiling. We got: Soup du jour House salad Meze platter Kettle chips Spicy chicken sandwich Everything tasted great. I was pleasantly surprised with the portion sizes for the happy hour items. I would definitely keep this in mind for date night or as a late night spot when not much else is open.

Cheers to the professionals who helped make our visit even more special.

Nice cocktail bar with quality cocktails and lively fun vibes…read more Highlights: - Nice curved bar that takes up most of the front room. Also a side room - Lots of cocktails on the menu in categorized sections (bright and crisp, rich and robust etc). Also has a 1 liner describing the cocktail as well - Vesper: went off menu with my go to and ones one of the better ones I had! 5 stars - Dream Weaver: enjoyed my first selection with pandan. 4 stars - Can make reservations which I always like to know I have spot. Thought they were only for the side room so was thrilled when we were in the main bar. - Fun music - Has a bites menu if you get hungry which I appreciate Midlights: - Bit dark to see the menu so used the handy candle nearby - Was on the top 50 best of North America bar list but in 2022 so it's been a bit Lowlights: - Doomsday Device: was in the spicy category with hot honey and peppercorn but was more of a mellow fruity cocktail to me where I didn't taste any spice - Didn't get to try any bites as we came from dinner but would have loved to try the 2 bite tostadas

This was some of the best food I've had in a while! I was a little iffy about coming here for lunch…read moresince I had been here once for dinner and it wasn't my favorite experience, but I'm so glad I gave it another try. The lunch portions were incredibly generous, especially the grilled cheese and fries, which were actually a kids meal! The buffalo chicken Caesar wrap was a little lacking in Caesar flavor, but where it lacked in Caesar, it definitely made up for it with the buffalo flavor, and it was still incredible. 10/10 across the board! The customer service was also amazing, and the staff were genuinely such a pleasure to interact with. And the little doodle on the bag was just the cutest added bonus! Definitely left much happier with this visit than my first one!

For mains, my friend ordered the elk burger, and as a self-proclaimed elk burger connoisseur, her approval means something -- she thoroughly enjoyed it. I went with the pulled pork sandwich, which was good and flavorful, and paired really well with their pepper & cabbage coleslaw on the side. We also split a cup of the roasted red pepper and tomato bisque, which was honestly a highlight of the whole meal -- rich, well-balanced, and worth ordering on its own. Drinks deserve a shoutout too: their non-alcoholic options were great. My friend raved about the guava lemonade, and I had the blueberry vinegar shrub, which was excellent -- bright, crisp, and refreshing.
