After hearing about this place for a bit, i checked it out with a friend yesterday and was not disappointed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love that it's hidden away in a little quiet alley. It feels like an awesome secret as you approach.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]And when you get inside, you are greeted by such a beautiful space. Bright, airy, lots of colors and textures.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outside terrace is adorned with beautiful plants, a botanical paradise!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was attentive, timely, and gave really great recommendations. We split a bottle of great champagne and then also indulged a bit in a cheese plate and oysters. The oysters were incredible!!!! I also noticed on the menu that they do two dollar oysters on Mondays. Will definitely be back for that! I wish I had snapped some photos, but I can tell you that you will not be disappointed in checking this place out. Perfect for a date spot, or catching up with friends. read more

Cutest date night or girly pop spot! Came here during their "sparkling Sunday" $2 oysters & $10 off caviar service. Wine and cocktails available, their menu has small tapas style plates. We got the oysters, caviar, hamachi, milk buns, and deviled eggs. Everything was great, service was good. We had a reservation for 4:30pm and there was still some space in the place but by the time we left 6:30pm it was packed so I'd recommend a reservation! read more

I had a fantastic experience at this little hideaway with natural wines. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I sat in the garden behind the restaurant on a hot summer day and it was an oasis.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent wine selection. I order 4 half glasses and everything paired perfectly with the food. I came here on Sunday ($2 per oyster) and the wines were excellent and the food surprisingly good. MUST GET: - oyster with champagne from romaine guiborat. - hamachi crudo - roasted maitake paired with local orange (Buona Notte mortadella from Columbia George in Washington). Maitake was served with pinenut and rice crumble, which was delightful. I put the sauce with hamachi crudo in the roasted maitake and it elevated the taste. It can use a bit more balsamic vignegrette or lemon juice to elevate the mushroom taste even more. - dessert wine (2021 romaine ogereau, chenin blanc) was delightful. Very balanced. Subtle sweetness with perfect balance of citrus notes. A bit of apricot on the nose. A fine ending to the delightful dinner. Solid: Spaghetti with morel. Paired with 2023 Bruno verdi from oltrepo pavese Italy. I really liked the pecorino cheese that tempered the salty-ness of the spaghetti. I think the food would be better with a bit less oil. The spaghetti almost reminded me of the Asian noodles vs traditional spaghetti. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Super cute intimate wine bar! Perfect for date night or girls night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a good selection of wines (I don't know much about wine), but I enjoyed what I got. I would get a bottle to get a better deal if sharing with others! The servers had good recommendations if you don't know where to start. The lobster roll was good but tiny for $18. It was like 3 bites. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Okay, this place is cute![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The entrance is down a narrow alleyway off of NW 21st, but there's more seating inside and outside than you might think.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's a nice wine list with a small but mighty menu. Great chicken liver mousse. I was excited for the lobster roll but honestly found it lacking. Definitely not my favorite lobster roll, and I thought it was a small portion for the price, but it was still enjoyable. The service was friendly and fun, and we felt like we could talk without being rushed or having to raise our voices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The noise level when I went here with a friend was good: a nice upbeat vibe without being too quiet or too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely go here again! read more

My husband and I discovered this lovely spot on our last night in Portland for fencing nationals. Think of it like a tapas bar. The steak looks like an entire meal, but the other dishes were small and shareable, so we made a nibbly dinner of it with pannise (chickpea fries), deviled eggs, cheese plate, garlicky potatoes, mixed greens, and gnocchi. I'm delighted that most of the dishes are GF or can be made so. Everything was delicious as was the wine. Our server was attentive and charming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat on the lovely covered patio, which was both comfortable and quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Bar Diane was quaint with nice appetizers, good gluten free options for some guests. Good quality ingredients such as hamachi crudo and burrata. Great olives too, small but important. Very good drink menu and bar staff. Would go back sometime, but no rush. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I like this place for the peace and quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bar offerings are fine, and the food... is food.

Underwhelming...The prices were insanely high for how little food we got...My friend literally finished his risotto in 2 minutes because there were at most four tablespoons of it. The taste of the food wasn't bad but the portion was ridiculously small for price tags of $30+. I got the Lamb Tagliatelle which was also very small and bland. The lamb was tender though. I see that they try to be novel and creative with their dishes which is great but you can't be cutting the portion this badly and still have a massive price tag. Service was also mid. We waited awhile for our food and almost got double charged. Would not be back again. read more

After an awesome visit last summer I knew I had to come back for this sunny March weekend. We ordered the raspberry hibiscus shrub, old fashioned (off menu), and a glass of their Champagne. They were all so good! To eat we had the milk bread rolls + honey (I could've eaten 4 of these orders), octopus, hangar steak, dozen oysters (incredible), and chicken liver mousse. All the staff were so friendly and the service was great! The outdoor patio with lights was absolutely perfect for a sunny weekend. read more

We went last week after recommendations from a local waiter as well as reading their great reviews online... the charcuterie board we ordered was the skimpiest, cheapest little thing I have ever overspent on! 15 tiny grapes, a sliver of cheese, and literally a half dollar size of Brie. It was a joke! read more

This is the spot. Full, lively, definitely seemed like the place to be if you're into wine. We paid a lot for a pretty small lobster roll but it was tasty. We really need to try the other food. Our server was really helpful with trying to figure out what to pair with our taste and food. read more

Cute and cozy neighborhood bar. If that's what you're looking for, Bar Diane is your jam. We had dinner nearby and wanted some cocktails. I am a sucker for good branding and when I pulled the website up I WAS sucker punched by the cuteness of it. Some cute cocktails grabbed my attention and I loved the website, and it was a 6 minute walk. So winner winner cocktail dinner!!!! I had a Telenovela after I was informed, sadly, that they'd run out of Aperol, so I couldn't have the Control Disco. It was lovely. Refreshing, crisp, lemony and light. Perfect for a hot summer day. My husband went with the Water of Youth. I tasted his LONG before he did (lol) and it was nice. Very light citrus, heavy on the mezcal. Since he had barely touched his drink I got myself a Dirty Blonde. It was definitely heavier in alcohol than the Telenovela, but still very refreshing and citrus forward. It was pretty busy but the staff was friendly and pretty attentive. We did have to wait some time to get refills on water and new drinks but we were relaxing and enjoying some good cocktails before heading to Crystal Ballroom. We both used the restroom before leaving and it's very clean. I would definitely come back again and try another cocktail! read more

Bar Diane was the first place we visited after checking in to our hotel and we were not disappointed ! We were initially drawn in by their natural wine selection but were held there by the amazing food, chic space design, and attentive staff. As newer fans of natural wine, we do appreciate guidance when selecting our bottles. Tyler was able to provide that and more when we discussed the vibe of the evening, our flavor profiles, and the food we were planning to order. Tyler's knowledge & recommendations were all perfect and really added to the overall experience. The food as a whole was very flavourful! I can't help but note the colors in each dish as well, they were fun and vibrant which matched the space too (hopefully my photos do them justice!). Coming from Texas, I also really appreciated the smaller portion sizes which were perfect to split between 2 while allowing us to try a lot of the menu. Our food order included the rolls with butter, oysters, marinated olives, burrata, little gem salad, cavatelli, and the steak (a significant spread, but we stayed for quite some time and were able to snack on everything while enjoying several bottles of wine). Overall the food was beyond amazing but I will note that the oysters were rather small so I personally may not order them in the future (though the sauce with them was so delicious and had some fruity undertones that I loved). We particularly loved the gem salad which we definitely considered doing a second order of. I also want to note that the burrata was amazing but for me personally the mushrooms with it were mind blowing! Honestly I would have loved plate of those mushrooms. The last thing I'll say about the food was that, while we enjoyed the cavateli, there was a mild, unexpected spicy kick to them. It wasn't off putting but I figured I'd mention it as it stood out to both of us. We still have several days left to the trip and I wouldn't be surprised if we came back at least once more. read more

Such a cute place! Stopped here after seeing a movie across the street at Cinema 21. Had some end of the night drinks and chit chat. It's cute and kinda hidden next to Eb & Bean. You can only tell to go through the fence because there's a sign outside that offers natural wines and a directional arrow. The vibes a chic, but casual. The bathrooms were pretty clean. Their tinned fish selection is good and the accoutrements were great. We told our waitress that we were "beginner tinners" and she recommended the smoked salmon because it would be more of a familiar taste and texture. I think she got it spot on and I plan to keep trying other tins, most likely will be returning here to do so! I tried the recommended glass of Orange wine - it was refreshing and bright. Great combo with the foods. read more

What a charming little spot! I was searching for a date night spot and found this place on Google Maps. The website is darling, and though they don't offer reservations on it, you can view their seafood-forward menu, and another diner told me that she just called to reserve a table. We didn't wait long to be seated at a quaint indoor 2-top (vaxx proof required for indoor diners). Bar seating is also available, and they have two different outdoor sections as well. I loved the interior! It's a small space that you access thru an alley, but half of the walls are plant-filled windows, and I think the garden out back may have been where they grow some of their own veg. (Not sure, but a gal can dream :) I ordered the Vesper cocktail, which arrived in a lovely little coupe; hubs had a sparkling Chenin blanc. We ordered the sumptuous seafood platter (A+), our server's recommended salmon tartare (A+) the "little gems" salad (B+) and a tin of scallops in Calabrian sauce (D+). The scallops were a disappointment; probably my favorite seafood but they were mushy, though the sauce was nice. I would not order those again. They were served with gorgeous dinner rolls, salted butter, mustard and pickles that were delightful. Tinned scallops aside- hey, I knew it was a bit of a risk- this was a wonderful date night dining experience and we'll definitely be back. read more

Bar Diane is a fantastic little wine bar tucked away in a corner off of NW 21st. They've got wine pours of every type as well as cocktails and a long list of bottles. We started our night here with a Pimms Cup and a glass of their orange wine. Both were delicious - the cocktail was not very sweet but very refreshing ! I also got a daiquiri which was sweet but perfectly chilled and balanced - I'd get it again. Then we finished off with a bottle of their orange sparkling wine and some deviled eggs - YUM. You really can't go wrong with anything here and they had a killer playlist going in the background. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Bar Diane is the perfect spot to grab drinks with a friend and have some light bites.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The back patio is adorable and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My only complaint is that we went on a Wednesday and asked to sit on the patio and only were told after we had been sitting there for a bit that we were required to partake in a flight tasting because they opened the patio for it specifically. So instead of ordering the orange wine we wanted, we got a flight of chilled reds. They were tasty but not exactly what I wanted. For food we shared a half dozen oysters, a tin of smoked mackerel (which comes with accoutrements and the most delicious milk buns) and a slice of Spanish tortilla. The oysters were outstanding, especially with their house made hot sauce. The tortilla was only okay (but admittedly I just got back from a trip to Spain so my standards are temporarily skewed). Definitely a bit pricey but I could see myself coming back! read more

A new bar that is located on NW 21st that is not visible off the street (next to Eb n Bean). The interior has a very nice and modern feel. The ambience is pretty chill. They have a decent selection of wine and also cocktail menu with some light snacks. From 4-6 on Tuesday - Sunday is happy hour, with discounted drinks. The vermouth spritz was tasty and had that kick you would expect from the vermouth. The chorizo roja was a nice light snack to enjoy. Overall, this place has a nice feel to it. read more

The cocktails are decent and the wine selection is great but the prices and service are not.

Now if you don't dress like an investment banker you're treated like an inconvenience. read more

We had walked past them multiple times and decided to try them out last night .The bar is located inside an alley behind the Ice cream shop and is also a bottle shop .There was a short wait of around 20 minutes before we could be seated .They also welcome dogs on their patio .The place has a very lively Portland vibe about it . Walls covered with wines and plants and mirrors ,really brought in the summer feels . There is a small patio on two sides of the restaurant and that's where they are currently seating everyone. The wine selection is huge and since I am still a wine Novice, I relied on the staffs recommendation and ordered a crisp glass of white wine . It was refreshing and Just the right thing for my taste . The hubby on the other hand ordered a Whiskey cocktail and said that it tasted ok. We also ordered the cheese platter and the Buttermilk Pie . The cheese plate comes with house made baguette and butter and I felt that those two were the only good things on the plate . The Buttermilk pie was soft , decadent and not overtly sweet and was gone within 5 minutes of it arriving .The staff is courteous and knowledgeable and checked -up on us pretty often . They also have monthly memberships for wine tasting and other events. I would recommend them for all wine lovers and anybody who has recently started testing their love for wines as you can talk to the staff and find bottles that you can take home and try . read more

I absolutely loved the place! Great ambience and great wine. The food was perfect for a wine bar. I find very few wine bars in Portland that have a substantial menu will make you order more wine, but this place is definitely like that. The best thing were the tins with the fresh rolls were the must order on the menu! read more

This place is a hidden gem! Finding it was a little difficult but that's on me (I wasn't reading the directions correctly). We came in on a rainy Saturday evening to just get a dozen oysters and a glass of wine, which turned into two dozen oysters and 2 glasses of wine each. The oysters were amaZing, and we really liked the vinegarette that came with the oysters. It's a super cozy and small restaurant, but there's indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of plants to decorate, and the service was great. Turned our rainy night in Portland so much better! read more

This place has a great vibe: Nice decor, a cute outdoor patio, and friendly staff. It's a place to go for drinks and small plates. It's a small menu with a few freshly made dishes, cheese, olives, nuts, and tinned fish. There isn't enough variety to put together a whole dinner, but everything we ate was an amazing burst of complex tastes and textures and unexpected surprises. The mushroom dish was out of this world with mushrooms, potatoes, kale, and a creamy sauce I couldn't figure out plus crispy, toasted buckwheat. The chicory salad was also delicious, and had popped sorghum, which was like teeny, tiny popcorn, which added a fun, crunchy texture. We came for the natural wines, and they did not disappoint. read more
