    Chicken pot pie
    Brooke F.

    My friend and I visited here to kill a few hours before our flight. We had a bunch of different food and enjoyed everything. Only negatives: Our server was kinda MIA for most of our visit. We weren't really sure who she was to even flag her down when we needed her. Our food took a long time to arrive. Everything except the mac and cheese. It didn't seem too busy for it to be taking so long but everything was still good and a pleasant experience. Perfect place to chill and enjoy some drinks/snacks with some friends!

    A nice place to go for a quick happy hour and chill. We ordered a few things to share and had a couple of drinks as well. Their sliders and fries were a must order. The Brussel sprouts portion was generous. I did enjoy their whiskey sour and expresso martini.

    The atmosphere is really beautiful, the warm Fire, deep wood colors and leather bar stools make it a very appealing spot. I'm here at happy hour and getting the Brussels sprouts and a cider. All is well in this moment. Thanks for reading.

    Roasted Half Chicken
    Daniel S.

    Ambiance: 7.5/10 nice open air spot right on a popular street in PDX. Good for a chill first date on a nice night where they have the windows open. Service: 9/10 Trinity was awesome. She was easy to talk with, and happens to be a super talented musician @trinityjane on Spotify. She should get a raise. Food: 6.5/10 Half chicken: I appreciated the use of in season veggies (ie snap peas) but this dish didn't wow me. I thought the chicken was well seasoned and moist . I thought the green sauce and pickled onions went well with the chard broccolini but I probably would try a different dish next time.

    Crispy Brussels Sprouts
    Cathy S.

    Came here on a Thursday for a friend's birthday dinner. She had a reservation so we were seated right away. Our server was very friendly and attentive and was patient with us as we waited for all of our party to arrive and to order. The vibe of the place is cozy with fireplaces, lighting, and the intentional bar and dining room seating arrangements. There was also coveted outdoor seating on the side perfect for summer. It was a beautiful sunny day so there were a good amount of people coming in and out. We got drinks and most of their appetizers to share among our group. My favorite was the crispy Brussels sprouts and the crab cakes. The bread was a little more charred than preferred the olive butter was tasty. The steak kebob and Mac and cheese (not pictured) were nice and filling as well. I did not see much of a dessert menu but maybe we had to ask but Papa Haydn is just a block down so we went there after instead. I could see this spot as a great date or friend catch up place with its variety of drinks and food for a relaxing and yummy dining experience.

    So cozy! The atmosphere is so charming. We sat at the bar and ordered cocktails. My friend had the Mac n cheese and we ordered the charcuterie board. Everything was delicious. The drinks were so well made and the mulled cider was the perfect warm drink for a chilly fall evening. Grateful how attentive the bartenders were. If I lived in Portland, I would be here often.

    Semi-upscale restaurant with nice modern yet cozy decor and a real fireplace in the middle of the restaurant. I had the lavender ginger soda which was nice and refreshing. The clam buccatini is pretty good, the sauce is buttery and garlicky and there is a fiat amount of clam on top. Some of the clam taste less fresh than I would like. The service was good and food came in a reasonable time.

    Chicken pot pie
    Paige K.

    I was in town on vacation and looking for a spot to be able to sit at the bar and grab a nice meal. I was so glad I chose here! The ambiance is very new American chic, the staff are friendly and the bartenders are very attentive. I tried the seasonal pumpkin beer and wasn't a fan so decided on a local ipa instead per the bartenders recommendation. It was a good choice! For the meal I chose a Cesar salad and the chicken pot pie. The salad was not my favorite, solely for the fact the kitchen adds small slivers of lemon peel tossed in, which added a refreshing zest but was bitter when biting into the peel bits making it hard to finish the salad personally. The chicken pot pie is seasonal I was told, but SO good and flavorful with perfectly shredded chicken and a flakey crust to complete it. I was too full for dessert but the options looked great, and I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area!

    Steak and eggs
    Elizabeth B.

    Overall, pretty good breakfast experience. There were some things that were really good and other things that were just average. The steak and eggs was cooked perfectly and not overdone. Definitely something worth trying. The basic breakfast of the eggs and potatoes was just your average eggs and potatoes. Though it is kind of hard to mess up eggs and potatoes. The Dutch pancake was really good. Service was a bit on the slow side so don't go if you are in a time crunch. Also, I think they make their bloody Mary mix homemade possibly if you were looking for that traditional morning bloody Mary this one is a bit different. I could not put an exact reason why it was different but it is not your traditional bloody Mary mix. Try it if you're looking for something new.

    Outside
    Lisa H.

    Perfect for a dog date from start to finish. Easy to reserve a patio spot on Tock. The hostess saw me outside and came to greet me so I didn't have to worry about trying to check in inside with my pup. They brought out a special dog bowl and dog menu in addition to their human menu. Bella's eggs and chicken came out hot and fresh. We both enjoyed the outdoor heaters and weren't cold even though it was 38 degrees outside. Staff were friendly and kind which Bella loved. All my food items and the espresso martini were delicious. Bella and I will definitely be back!

    Haley F.

    The food is excellent and the atmosphere is beautiful outside. Unfortunately the food took way too long and the menu is limited but the portion sizes are great. We were the only table at the beginning and it wasn't that busy and we didn't get checked on once the food was dropped. We also had to get up from the table to pay because the server never came back.

    This has quickly become my partner and I's favorite spot. We've been here multiple times and are always impressed by the amazing service and flavorful food. Tonight, Ana made our experience especially memorable. She was attentive, remembered our gluten-free needs, and even labeled our to-go box--such a thoughtful touch. The attention to detail was truly exceptional. As someone from Las Vegas, this felt like true fine-dining level service.

We initially got…read morethe offer to have a separate room for it, which was nice, but we opted for the patio because of how beautiful it is in the spring. We decided to visit to host our friend's baby shower brunch, and it was the best decision we could have made. The table was set up with flowers, but they allowed us to add our own vases too. We arrived a bit early to set up, but even with 14 guests they were able to set up our table at the perfect time. Hayden took our drinks order, helped us move gifts and bags we brought, helped organize the tables for ease of photos and movement, and was overall just a wonderful service host for our section. We honestly could not have gotten any luckier with service. For food, I ordered the Ensalata Bomba to share with my partner, and the Stuffed French Toast to share with the table. Everyone agreed that the salad was incredible, and all the other food on the table was so fresh and delicious. It was all plated nicely and was all very easy to share! Most of the table got coffees which were all sooo good, and I got a hugo spritz which tasted like a fresh cucumber spritz.

We finally flagged our waiter down and he took our order. The menu stated that the omelettes were all made with 4 eggs and comes with cottage potatoes, so we decided to split the meat lovers omelette and ordered a biscuit aswell. when our food arrived, the omelette was very small (smaller than any omelette I've seen, so splitting it gave us maybe 2-3 mouthfuls each) the potatoes were almost hard, like they were made up hours ago and have been sitting warming until serverd. inside the omelette, the meat was dry and crumbly, again, like it was reheated not freshly cooked. with a sprinkle of cheese on top. The biscuit was cut in half and looked grilled. it was black on the bottom and hard. This was literally the worst breakfast i've had. One other person in our party ordered the crab eggs benedict, they said it was good, but hardly any crab on it for $29.00 potatoes were the same as ours. The other person in our party orderd the Shakshuka and loved it. So to sum this up, why send out food that is not up to par, things should be made to order, it just felt like everything was just reheated food. so disappointing considering three mains, one coffee and one drink came to almost $95.00 and most of it was not good.

The standout feature for me was the QR code ordering system: scan, order, and close out your tab whenever you're ready, all from your phone.

No awkward eye contact trying to flag someone down, no waiting to pay while mentally calculating how close you are to just leaving cash and hoping for the best. That said, if you're not in the mood to embrace your phone as your server, the traditional route is still there. You can walk up to the bar or catch one of the servers floating around.

Most of the folks at our table had some variety of pasta, though the outlier who tried the North African Plate with lamb meatballs couldn't be faulted for their choice. Cocktails were delightful, and we had no problem finding a bottle of wine that made everyone happy. A bonus was the existence of a parking lot, as well as free on-street parking in this neighborhood. I'm looking forward to a return visit.

    This was our last-minute choice for dinner on Valentine's Day, and since we didn't have…read morereservations ,We were quoted a 20-minute wait, which ended up being a little longer, but we were eventually seated and attended to. The place is decorated eclectically, with a mix of seating styles--from couches and bar seating to smaller and larger tables. The vibe feels like a blend of old-school charm and something more modern. I started with a cocktail from the menu, while my husband ordered a drink based on the server's recommendation. Unfortunately, the drink didn't taste good, and the staff did replace it for him. Since we had already spent quite some time waiting, we decided to skip appetizers and go straight to the mains. I ordered the prawn Alfredo along with a fennel citrus salad, and my husband had the Pasta El Burrina. The food tasted fantastic. The service was a bit spotty, which I'm willing to attribute to it being an unusually busy night. A few times it felt like our orders were forgotten, and we had to remind them multiple times for the bill. The place is alright,but I am not in a rush to come back anytime soon.

    Would definitely rate this a strong 3.5/5 if that was possible!…read more The jojos were the star of the show for me (go figure) personally -- and the ranch was the star of the jojo show. I had a Spicy Vegetarian Burger and it was pretty good, next time I would probably try the Classic version. The pickles and sauce were good and the impossible patty was great. My sister thought her classic burger was solid, but she would have liked a little more sauce. Keep in mind that she likes a lottt of sauce. The bun was a little too big for her burger patty too, but overall it was tasty and all the flavors complemented each other. Ambiance-wise there was nice decor and plenty of seating options! The blinds kept out a lot of natural light but we were able to lift them a bit so it wasn't a problem! You clear your own plates and order when you arrive after you have looked over the menu so service doesn't feel super applicable but everyone was friendly and welcoming.

    Was interested to try this place out as it had a pretty large menu of vegan substitutions for…read moretraditional fried classics While obviously, I think I prefer fried chicken to fried tofu, I do have to say I was quite impressed here I got the Mr. Onion Fried Tofu Sandwich, and our table also ordered Jojos (potato wedges) Starting off with the wedges, I quite liked these. While they weren't as crispy as I would've wanted - I would say while some parts were, most of it was on the softer side - I did think that they were seasoned excellently. They also paired quite well with the mayo-based sauces we received. Moving onto the burger, I really enjoyed this. When I've had tofu on a burger in the past - it's usually been in smaller pieces - so getting such a massive piece that sticks out on either end of the burger was really nice. In addition, the breading was good - while not super-present. I quite liked the fact that it was very lightly breaded - meaning the huge patty was like 95% tofu - leaving the tofu to stand on its own as the majority of the bite. The buns were alright - I'm not big into vegan buns - but I didn't mind these The mustard sauce was also pretty good I will say, although I did order the Mr. Onion burger so I should've known what I was getting myself into, but there were just way too many onions on this burger. It was to the point where they absolutely dominated the taste of my first bite. I had to remove a lot of them from the bottom of the burger to actually make this edible. For the price, it is a bit expensive - but it's also quite filling so I didn't mind it. I also have to mention - because my burger was late, as a gift they brought out a full set of pastries/cookies in a box. This was incredibly surprising and something I've never seen another restaurant do. Major props for that

    Oh Q, how I love you. I've never had a bad meal here and I've been coming here (and VQ) for years!…read more The meals and memories I have made here are priceless. The food is always delicious and the service is always on point! We got the chicken tortilla soup and it was delicious and so flavorful. Cajun stuffed prawns were absolutely amazing. So crispy and bursting with flavor. We were pretty much licking the plate. The cocktails are always amazing and the bartenders are helpful. The crispy mushroom spinach salad is always a winner. If you've never been here you gotta try the osso bucco. It's what they're known for! The ambiance is a low lighting, personal, and very professional.

Absolutely everything was amazing! The vibes are so great - I could definitely see it being great for date night or a family dinner or after work dinner. Service was also great and attentive. We ordered: - NY steak (dinner special) - Deviled Eggs - Warm baguette - Snake oil mocktail - Chocolate soufflé - kids cheeseburger and fries - s'mores tart (liked this one more than the soufflé!) Love the various menu options and especially the creative mocktail options for someone who is sober curious.
