I really like this neighborhood finer dining experience. The staff is great and the food excellent. We will definitely be back.

Friendly staff, food was good and cocktails were great. It was a bit pricey for what we got, but it's a nice date night place in the Beaverton area for sure. read more

The owners really care about their business. After a bad experience, management reached out to us and apologized. We came back and the customer service was great and the food was yummy. The kids prices are amazing. read more

We had a lovely time with Seth this evening! The service was outstanding. One of the best servers we have ever had the privilege of experiencing. The pork chop was nice, and the ambiance is always calming. I was surprised by the flourless chocolate cake! It was a great end to the evening. We will be back just for Seth! read more

Bethany's Table - Pork Chop - New American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great place for a special occasion dinner. We enjoyed taking visiting family here, but they were also able to accommodate my 3 year old so we could all enjoy a night out. read more

4.5 stars is more accurate. Delicious meal all around! Loved the warm atmosphere. You have to get the butterscotch pudding. The ragu was delicious, comforting and so fresh. 4.5 stars because it was on the pricier end but loved the food, drinks, service and atmosphere. Would return. read more

After receiving an invitation to return from the owner, David, my family and I returned to Bethany's table for a birthday dinner celebration for my wife. I asked to speak to David to let him know we were there and appreciated his return invite. He shared with me that he told no one about my return visit based on the initial review...so I feel confident the staff and preparation of the food were not preppe in advance for our visit. The staff was amazing and very attentive. We could not have asked for better service. The food was esquisite, and every plate was as good or better than expected. Thank you David for listening with an open mind and inviting us to come back and try again. It was well worth it and we will definitely be back. Cheers! read more

Food is ok. Service is great. I found a worm sticking out of an oyster shell and they promptly removed it

Lovely dining room, service, and acoustics. Pretty good pricing, good sized plates and wine pours, which is always appreciated. Get the arancini! read more

Food is always excellent with exciting new choices and specials. Housemade bread is always marvelous and the beet salad was especially good last night. We go there often and ALWAYS look forward to Janet's creations. Beverages are special too. read more

I used to visit the restaurant regularly when they first opened years ago. Service was good and prices were reasonable. Went to dinner last night and t our waiter was extremely pompous and made it difficult to connect in any level despite multitalented efforts, I just shut down after the third attempt. He has another person shadowing him and he was so pleasant and nice (I would love for home to take care of our table if we return). It also appeared that pompous guy works the room and goes overboard for a certain type of clientele. Frustrating to not have a friendly server. We ordered the salad special and didn't realize that there was going to be a gigantic hunk of blue cheese on top of the lettuce. The slice took up half the plate. We are some of it and let the rest to get thrown out. Not sure why anybody would want to eat a one inch this slice of blue cheese that was so large. Prices are getting on the higher side, post covid, so we will probably not eat here again. The steak bites were good, but a few were undercooked and extremely chewy. read more

Great service. Try the sturgeon bites. The Arancini was good too. Nice ambiance. Good wine list too.

The time slots for lunch, happy hour and dinner is not very accommodating if you aren't familiar with the restaurant. I went in for something apparently only on their lunch menu and it wasn't time for the dinner menu yet because it was happy hour, which was a small menu of snacks and drinks. So, I had a drink and waited until it was dinnertime. The service was slow, but the food was good. read more

We went for a romantic dinner and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent and all the food was great but the chicken marsala was the huge standout! read more

Oh gosh! I had such high hopes! First dinner out IN A YEAR due to pandemic. So much to celebrate! A 20 year anniversary, a 50th bday, our sons 18th bday and Graduation. Reservations for 1745. On time. Seated quickly. The ambiance is glorious. Tables are spread waaaaaasy out for COVID. very safe! Our server was lovely. The bread and salted butter probably the highlight. Dinner began with a spring mix salad w/ Smokey blue cheese and apple. Dressing on side as I requested - it was delicious. The Apple was match-sticked and looked nice, however, mealy. I still ate it. Husband's entree was pasta with sausage. Decent portion. Not too hot, however. He really enjoyed it. Pasta was cooked perfectly. Nicely seasoned. I had the Bavette steak, medium rare. It was nearly raw in the middle and difficult to chew. I suppose I could've eaten the edges which were pretty well cooked. The veggies underneath were lukewarm and underseasoned. Were those radishes? Couldn't tell. Worst thing is that the sweet server only checked on us about 30 seconds in and I hadn't really begin eating the steak. Ultimately , I couldn't eat the steak - too undercooked, chewy. Disappointing. She offered to heat it up - ? No, thank you. She comped the meal and offered dessert which was nice but we declined. There was no hot water in either bathroom. My husband and I both tried (separately, of course). We turned it to the left and let it run. We turned it to the right and let it run. No hot water. Not even warm water. I was told (young gentleman in the wine area), "I didn't know this was a problem. There is sanitizer at each table." Not a pleasant experience-washing your hands in ice cold water. The wine was good- I had a red blend from Walla Walla. Our lovely server graciously provided me with a taste before I committed.. But overall, the dinner was disappointing. I would love to have given a stellar review. read more

The staff at Bethany's Table earned a loyal customer last night. Without getting into a bunch of detail, I'll just say that the dining experience fell far short of our expectations due to some unusual circumstances, but the staff more than made up for it and showed that they care deeply about customer experience. And setting the other issues aside, the food was delicious. We look forward to returning! read more

This place was great! The staff was really educational and hyped about the food. Everything we got was great, but wanted to shout out the pastas we got, lasted us two meals. read more

Hands down best seasoned burger I have ever had! For context I got the lunch angus burger with no burger buns and it was very flavorful! I also got a gimlet which was made super well! Awesome service and ambiance, I'll definitely be coming back soon. read more

Great food, wonderful service and I love the atmosphere, but Customers beware, they "Nickle and Dime" you with extra charges. More concerning is they don't warn you. At first they added a "Covid" fee to the bill which eventually they took away, but they then added a "wellness / health" fee for their employees (which I am happy to accept as they do a wonderful job), but now they added a % fee to the bill if you pay with a credit card! That was the "last straw" and decided to no longer use them for my business team meetings (which we do once a quarter) and for personal use as most of the time you don't carry 100's of dollars in cash with you. The owners need to understand that the cost of doing business cannot always be transferred to the Customer. The product they offer should cover their costs and provide a good margin / profit. If not, then it's better to add a little more to the price of their food vs. adding a "Credit Card Fee". They state they are transferring the credit card administrative fees to the Customer, but they didn't even advise us before hand. They are not really Customer centric in my opinion. Again, they have great food, service and atmosphere, but they need to stop the "Nickle and Diming" of their Customers. Until that stops, I have decided not to go any longer. read more

We have eaten here many times. We have spent a bit of money here, too. It is not cheap. Mostly we've been pretty happy. I have written reviews to that effect. We like the local, sustainable, seasonal focus. We learned to ignore some bumpy uneven service.It is in our neighborhood. That is cool. The good food made the uneven service less annoying. The last four or five visits tho', there has been a little something wrong each time. Not enough to make us say we won't ever be back, but it's starting to add up. Water spilled all over me by the server, the chef's daughter who is pleasant enough usually, without any apology. Our ticket not going in. For an hour. And it was not busy. We watched people come, order, eat, and leave. When we finally asked we received " oh I forgot" ( same server) again no apology. I think they took off an entree from the bill. Noodles swimming in butter ( no cheese) plonked down on the table by the chef with no smile or words whatsoever for our ten year old. ( who asked what she had done wrong). Both chef and husband owner walk around in jeans with the dog, not greeting most customers, and seem lost in their heads as if they are still in their condo upststairs. Ok. But as someone else noted it doesn't feel welcoming. This may seem unimportant but honestly being welcomed is part of the flavor of a meal. I've eaten more simple meals other places ( and less spendy) and been happier simply because we got a smile and a thanks. Last night hubby's pasta dish was missing ingredients, had bones in it, and wasn't yummy. My wild Alaskan halibut dish was good... but not great for a jaw dropping $32. And then there is the resident dog. While cute ( my kid loves her), we don't believe dogs belong in restaurant kitchens or dining rooms. Not everyone likes dogs. A sign on the door says "warning dog inside"...WTF? Can we even talk about health codes for a minute? People touch the cute dog and then they touch our food. So, while hubby and I badly want a cute bistro in our hood with good food, we are going to take our money elsewhere for a while. Maybe Bethany's Table is just going through a phase. We will probably try it again simply because its two minutes from our house. But in this economy if we are going to drop that much on a meal.... well. You see my point. It's Portland Restaurant month. 3 Course meals in some of Portland's better places for $29. We are going to take advantage of that for a bit. read more

We haven't eaten there, only popped in for drinks a few times. If there were vegan options I could give it 5 stars, but sadly, NO. Their craft drinks though...WOW. Some creative cocktail making! And the mixologist who came up with those has a seriously REFINED palate! (golf clap for you!!!) We love the environment there, intimate, lovely quiet restaurant with excellent service. It feels so neighborhood, and welcoming, yet upscale at the same time. Not sure how they nailed that vibe, but DON'T change a thing. We will be back again soon on a date night! read more

I've seen this place several times but just never made it in. After a hard few months we were celebrating a job change for my husband and decided to splurge on some takeout. Any who our usual go to takeout place was closed and his 2nd pick was closed. So yelp brought Bethany Table to the plate and we figured why not. My husband is an afficinado when it comes to grilling meat. To the point I don't like when he orders it at restaurants because it never lives up to his standards. He saw the pork chop and was intrigued but wasn't sure. Being a glutton for punishment I ordered it for him before he could change his mind. I ordered the market cheese plate, hummus and chicken salad as my favorite is a little bit of everything. When he took the first bite of the pork chop it was like the heavens opened and the sun was shining directly on him. Never have I seen this man so happy about a restaurant meal. And the risotto and veggies with the pork chop were equally amazing. Heck the cheese, hummus and chicken salad were all fantastic. Everything as good or better then the last item. Only thing we didn't get to try was the pita it didn't make it in with our order. But everything was so good I feel like I owe them some pita. Last but not least we topped this meal off with the most decadent, amazing, trade your first born for peanut butter truffles. Truly the perfect truffle. Not overly sweetened just peanut butter and chocolate perfection with flaked sea salt that melts in your mouth. I would add pictures but we don't have a sonogram at home. Just wishing we didn't wait so long to try this place. I've already told Santa I need those truffles in my stocking. If you've debated trying Bethany Table this is your call to give it a try. read more

Great atmosphere, wine list, and cute market items in the back. Really enjoyed the Small plate options. Glad we found this place. Will be back. read more

Absolutely divine experience! I took my friend there for her birthday, and we both ordered the polenta and prawns. It was so delicious. I had no words to describe it to the waitress! We will definitely be back. The service from the person who sat us, to the waitress, to the overall quality of food was impeccable. Can't wait to go back! read more

Delicious every time. The food is excellent and the service is great. Yummy wines & well priced kids menu. Grateful to have this close to home. read more

We have a big family and my wife and I don't always get out a lot for "date nights." When we do we like to make them count and Bethany's Table was always on our short list. Then Covid. Working from home, kids in remote learning... you know the deal. Bethany's Table has become our go to place to have a great meal delivered. Because you can order direct from their web site, you can avoid the upcharges from Doordash and the like. And the food has been fantastic. Even the kids meals are great. We generally do a "nice" dinner once or twice a month and we take advantage of their burger/chicken sandwich nights (Wednesday and Thursday I believe) pretty often. The crispy roasted fingerling potatoes that come with the burger are... amazing. They also added a "market place" that sells fresh and frozen food, meal kids, staples, etc... So far we've done the Pull Pork sandwich kits, fresh pasta, and the bake-at-home cookies and it's all been really good. We never make an delivery order without adding cookies... Also make sure you add a side of seasonal roasted vegetables which are fantastic. If you aren't sure where to start, I can't say enough good things about the Kurobuta Pork Chop which is frequently on the menu. Their steak dishes change up every so often but they've always been great. When they have salmon it's also a big hit in our house. There really isn't better food anywhere near Bethany. You have to drive to Portland to find something equivalent. It's also convenient that they use the same online ordering service as Pizzicato so once you've registered for one, you are registered for the other. read more

Another awesome dinner spot that serves excellent, healthy food for a reasonable price. It was Halloween, so it wasn't busy. There was one other couple there enjoying a bottle of wine. The lighting was dim, candles were lit, monk music was playing, and our chef was dressed as a cowgirl! I ordered the spicy garlic prawns with polenta, and he ordered the italian pork verde. Our dinner came quickly, and the portions were perfect. The polenta was amazing, and a perfect pairing with the prawns and sauce. I snuck quite a few bites of his entree and it was perfect. The pork was falling apart, the italian verde added an interesting flavor, and the corona beans were oddly addictive. They always have a selection of soups, and the salads are more reasonably priced than 24-hour chain restaurants. I'm excited to come back and eventually try everything on the menu. read more

The food was amazing but the service was even better! We really enjoyed our dinner here! We look forward to coming again and bringing guests when they visit! read more

So glad to have finally tried this place. The meal and drinks were perfection. We made reservations which I'm glad for because the entire time we were there, it was packed and there was a wait. I ordered a cocktail which was good and started my meal with the soup of the day--black bean. It did not disappoint! Each course took some time to come out but due to how busy the place was and being in good company, this didn't matter. I have a few rules for life and one of them is to never be in a hurry if and whenever possible. This especially applies to driving and dining. I just don't go out to eat with assholes...it makes me not in a hurry and it makes me not care if food is actually being made from scratch and taking longer than ten minutes. I was here due to dining month but also because I was always curious about this place and enamoured by the sharpei, Zoe that often makes an appearance. Don't worry if you're not a dog person (I'll pray for you), she won't even acknowledge you exist unless you seek her out. I pass her sometimes when I walk by and she's laying outside so it was nice to formally meet her. Second course I chose was the chicken marsala. I love chicken marsala. Let me tell you, every other chicken marsala was awful in comparison to here. Perfectly done. I can't wait to come back and try the housemade pasta and the burger!! For dessert, I had the housemade pistachio ice cream--one of the reasons I love pistachio ice cream or pistachio shortbread is because it tastes almost like almond cake. No one ever makes almond cake and I'm obsessed with it so needless to say, I was happy. read more

I ordered Salmon dish. It was cooked perfectly not raw (of course :) or over cooked. It cleared my concern about ordering fish because most of time it came overcooked & dry. I would go again whenever I have appetite for nice Salmon dish :) read more

Limited menu. Overpriced for food served. I had the chicken sandwich and it was pretty dry. They advertised broché bun but served a very small hamburger bun, the cheap kind. $14 for a chicken sandwich that needed onions. The cobb salad was very good and well prepared. The grilled cheese was good as well but again over priced for the food served. read more

When I came in by myself initially to inquire about availability the staff was friendly and informed me walk-ins were welcome and told that they could get me seated right away. I proceeded to go back to the car to inform my girlfriend and we both came in. We were seated with water and given menus and were then informed that it's best to have a reservation in the future. Keep in mind the restaurant was about 1/3 occupied including outside dining. We sat there patiently waiting and watched as other people whom arrived after us were seated, serviced and provided other beverages other than water. We sat there with no acknowledgement by any staff member for about 20-25 minutes. I hope it's just lack of service and not racial discrimination as my girlfriend was the only POC in the restaurant at the time (I don't leave anything off of the table). Whatever it was or maybe continues to be, I hope the service is improved for others. We then decided to leave and drive to Thirsty Lion Gastro Pub. We were greeted and seated within 5 minutes (which wasn't expected on a Friday night). This place was about 3/4 occupied maybe more and our service was exceptional. I'm not affiliated with Thirsty Lion at all I just want people to have a full scope understanding of how poor our service was by a fine dining establishment vs. an average GastroPub establishment with great food. read more

Everything we ordered was delicious. There were 3 of us and we shared small plates because it was hard to pick one thing. The scallop salad was very tasty. We also had the burrata which was fabulous and duck which was delicious! Every bite of everything was yummy. My mouth is watering talking about it!!! We each had a cocktail as well. The service was great! read more

The servers, the ambience, outdoor seating, attention to detail, and, OMG!, the good! Such delectable flavors! One of my favorite places to enjoy a great meal with friendly staff and, of course, Zoey. read more

Unprofessional, unreliable and unorganized-- this business single handly made a mess of my birthday dinner. Order was placed Saturday morning at 10am, this was based on guidance from staff when calling Thursday evening. Fast forward to Saturday, guest arrive, my husband departs for pickup, at 4:54pm I get a call saying we don't have your order, we sold out, we actually sold out Friday for Saturday. The employee didn't offer an alternative and was actually laughing at the situation. At this point I have hungry guest, no food and a husband at the restaurant. I WILL NEVER recommend or order from Bethany's table again. There is no excuse for the restaurant to not have contacted me earlier in the day, waiting until the time of pick up is inexcusable and unprofessional. Do yourself a favor and plan your next dinner party with a restaurant who can actually deliver. Where is the no star option!!! read more

Fabulous! Fabulous! And here are the rest of the filler words I have to do to write the stupid review because they want 65 characters. Definitely frequent this restaurant if you enjoy authentic, old-school, Italian food. Phenomenal. Do I need to say more, how many more characters do I need to type in here... read more

I'm a long time patron of Bethany's Table going all the way back to when they first opened. We've done everything with Bethany's Table, from school fundraisers, to celebrating family milestones to business lunches, to ordering their food delivered during Covid. Maybe 100s of experiences. They are consistently good. Not 100% good. Who could be ?! But what I love about my neighborhood "posh" restaurant is their commitment to learn, improve, do better and share. I feel a genuine connectedness to a commercial establishment that is very rare. On the very very exceptional times when it wasn't perfect, it's always been "they'll learn from this - can't wait to see how they raise the bar next time". If you live in the Bethany area, then congratulations- you have a local restaurant where you can enjoy great food and service. If you are a visitor. Then be prepared to be surprised and a little envious, that your local neighborhood doesn't have a Bethany's Table. read more

I have enjoyed this restaurant since they first opened in 2009. Their food is consistently delicious! There housemade bread is amazing. The Sherry Chicken Liver Mousse tastes rich and creamy. I recently tried their gazpacho, and housemade crackers....phenomenal! The ambiance is pleasant too. A restaurant worth frequenting. read more

This is a friend's absolute favorite place to eat so naturally we met up for lunch recently. I had a chicken curry salad, delicious, and steak bites, also great with the horseradish sauce. We split a split of bubbles, nice! Service was great. Guests are spread out well to allow for social distancing. I felt very comfortable with their health standards and everyone was respectful of mask guidance. I will definitely go back again. Next time, dinner. read more

Nothing says summer like sipping a crisp Chardonnay on BT's darling porch, and nothing says hospitality like fresh baked sourdough bread and a gentle dog meandering about. Am I dreaming, what a lovely staff completely doting and adorable like dining out is meant to be. My daughter, 7 years old, is quite chatty and everyone took the time to hear her jokes and banter back. To start we had rainbow carrots with whipped feta and fried artichokes with aioli. The artichokes were crispy and dipable and a refreshing delight of textures. Rainbow carrots were sweet and crisp enough to have me looking around the back for the garden bed they just came from. Next corse was a salad with blue cheese and house roasted (per order?) hazelnuts. A complete and total delight to the pallet. The green French cut apples were so bright and tart I am certain that they were placed on the plate directly from the tree. Next was the caccio Pepe, with white sauce, black pepper, truffle oil, and cheese. Extraordinary house made fettuccini that reminds us what it means to crave pasta again. Yes, I recommend it. 5 stars representing the more then 5 people I already told to get there's. Thank you Bethany's Table for bringing joy of eating and class to the neighborhood. I'll be back soon to see what's next! Love it! read more
