Pork Entree from Tasting Menu
Sara P.

Rating would be 4.25 Went for a date night to celebrate Valentine's Day. It's street parking with parking Kitty. Initially we went to the Dolly Olive entrance and we were redirected around the corner to Bar Dolly, which had clear signage of where it was located. It's a bar setting and we were seated at a two top table. The vibe is good and it's not too loud of an environment. Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable and made our experience great. She even offered a decanter for our wine which we appreciated. The tasting menu is $75 per person (full table participation required) that includes 7 courses. The tasting menu was a great way to try some of their staples/signature dishes and it was a lot of food. Since it was a lot of food my only suggestion would be to space out the tastings a little more. Our favorite dishes were the hamachi crudo, Tagliatelle al Burro, Braised Short Rib Arancini and grilled prawns. I would recommend checking out this place for a date night or drinks with a friend. I would plan some time to search for nearby parking.

A neat little place to go if you want and cozy dinner or just a cocktail to end the night. We went and sat at the bar for the end of the night cocktail. I had the Holy Roller, a cocktail that is served up and reminds me of a whiskey sour. We also had a couple of desserts as well. The bartender was friendly and quick to get our order.

Cute new option for downtown drinks and food. You can get the same food they offer at Dolly Olive but served up faster and in a more casual fashion. My party of 3 sat at the bar so we could check out everything behind it. I really like how they've transformed the space to be more inviting and bright. Great cocktails!

Beef shortrib arancini (has tomato in it)

We walked into Dolly Olive but it was pretty full, so the host graciously offered to walk us around the corner to Bar Dolly while she explained that we can order from the full menu if we desired. We were seated quickly inside this not-too-small cozy space and shared the farm greens salad, shortrib arancini, and the sweet corn Triangoli. Everything tasted fresh and herb-y, making for some great comfort food after a day walking around the convention center. The Triangoli was much lighter than expected, which we appreciated. Note that there is a 3% charge on your bill total before tax and tip. We hope to return again soon and try the restaurant next!

Adorable, clean, and bright space!

We were lucky enough to stumble across Bar Dolly on their second day open and our last day in Portland! The space is adorable, clean, and bright. The staff were super friendly and just attentive enough. Everything we tried, from the cocktails to the food, was so good and really thoughtfully prepared and presented. We thought the shortrib arancini was a tad sweet, but still tasty. The focaccia, Caesar, and prawns were incredible - don't miss them!

Solid cocktails, alright atmosphere, fine service. The menu left much to be desired if you're hoping for small/bar plates.

Somehow, I've neglected to review this neighborhood favorite. My apologies to the good people at…read moreDivision Wines. This place has become a go-to for taking friends, relatives, or just enjoying time with my wife. The selection of wines has never let me down, and their meat, cheese, and meat&cheese food offerings are delightful. Classics are classics for a reason. The servers are great at making sure cheeses fit into everyone's dietary preferences. On my most recent visit, I spotted something that was previously unnoticed - they offer half glasses for half price. Since part of the joy of visiting here is finding new things, half glasses make for twice the exposure to new friends. Our visits almost always end with a shopping expidition into the wine shop side of the space. As fans of white wines from NW Spain, we've always been pleased with their Albarino offerings, and this is the only place in Portland that I've ever found a Godello.

Was looking to get a nice bottle of wine as a gift, but wanted to get something fun and different…read more Not knowing too much about wine and seeing all the reviews about the great service, I gave them a call to see if they could help give a few suggestions over the phone. Garrett was super helpful and we talked a bit about what I was thinking, and found three options within my budget. We settled on a fun but not too crazy wine from the Canary Islands. He held the wine for me at the front and I was able to just grab and go later in the afternoon. The price was also just right, as it was listed for $18 more on the vino app. Came back in a week later for drinks and prices were also great with a 3 drink flight for $19 all with good pours. Had a chenin blanc, a chardonnay, and a Malbec. All were phenomenal and bar staff were friendly. This is definitely earned a spot in the rotation. Love it.

Inside is dark and cozy, perfect for a rainy afternoon or evening. My only complaint is there is a lot of wood and all the hard surfaces don't reflect noise so it's sometimes challenging to hear. They have a wonderful assortment of wines and not all local. For me, that's a good thing. Yes I love a Willamette Valley Pinot or a Washington Cabernet, but I get a lot of those when I'm visiting these areas, which I do frequently. At Muse you can enjoy a red from France, Spain, Italy, as well as local. Lots of whites and some bubbles, too. You can do a tasting of three half glass pours of your choice, or order a glass. Some nights they have tastings that they have preselected. Last night, based on Alex's recommendation, after telling him my preferences, I had the 2021 Crozes-Hermitage from Paris. It was a bigger red, but so smooth. Next I went with the Rioja Gran Reserva which was more fruit forward. Another winner. Their cheese and jam plates are fabulous, the cheese especially delicious, and pair perfectly with the wines. Have a feeling I'll be back frequently to this charming neighborhood wine since my friend works out next door, so it's a perfect meeting spot.
