    The ambience of this spot was phenomenal, right next to the waterfront. The service was also great, and they always checked in on us to see if there was anything else we needed. I didn't love the bread service, found the bread to be a bit dry, however the lasagna and the pasta were good and had rich ingredients. This place is more fine dining, so more on the expensive side. Overall, for the experience I highly recommend this spot.

    We ate dinner here. Only a short walk along the river from the Kimpton where we were staying. We asked for an outdoor table and were seated at a table along the windows of the restaurant. Loved it so we could people and dog watch as we enjoyed a lovely evening. We started with the Caprese salad and bread with olives. Everything was so good. Caprese had a nice olive oil and balsamic vinegar topping. Fresh ingredients. For my entree, I chose the butternut squash ravioli. Nice and light with parm and no heavy sauces. Very good. Service was excellent. Loved the outdoor seating. Great choice for dinner.

    The service was thorough and they made sure I was very comfortable! The dish I got was amazing and the arugula salad was delicious too. Honestly, the perfect amount of food. At first, I thought it was small but ended up being more than enough! I got the cider and that was good as well. The place is adorable and interesting with water views.

    Why you should dine here: Willamette waterfront view off the marina boardwalk is an absolute chillax time and one of the best outdoor dining spots in PDX. The service is always the most professional & top notch! The host is always partnering with the wait staff in steady attentiveness. Each of them with the right personality. The food ~ delish! Pasta is all dente perfect, wine suggestions right on, portions are great, etcetera. Enjoyed every time. Parking garage nearby or street parking on the south end of the boardwalk. A nice stroll along the marina before and after dinner.

    Came for Valentines Day and unfortunately this restaurant just missed the mark completely for me. $8 bread service was just not that great, honestly kind of tasted old, but we did still finish it off with the pasta. We got the bolognese and the shrimp pasta, honestly the bolognese was bad, boyfriend didn't even finish it. We did take it home but it sat on the counter because nobody was interested. The shrimp al bianco was alright, it had plenty of shrimp so they didn't skimp on it, but also it's a $32 plate so that's what I would expect. The service was fine, no issues there. Of course it's a romantic vibe in here, it really reminded me of going to a winery. For the price point I would advise against coming and just going elsewhere. Nothing was special or mindblowing for $30 for a pasta dish, honestly. I've had much better food for cheaper / more expensive. I don't believe price ever dictates quality, and this place certainly does not. Nothing was absolutely terrible, but when you're spending $70 on just 3 dishes (including the bread) and it isn't tasting that amazing, it's just disappointing. There's just definitely much better food out there, especially in Portland. Also a quick sidenote about how to get here, honestly we were looking for it for about 10 minutes driving around in circles before realizing it is inside of the hotel in the area. So just know you have to park somewhere, walk down to the hotel main lobby, go insude, go down the stairs and then it leads to outside. From there you just take a right and there's numerous stores & this restaurant is towards the end.

    Split Caesar Salad

    While traveling home on vacation to our home in Eugene, we spent a day and night in Portland. On the recommendation of some friends who live in Portland, we tried Il Terrazzo. Excellent choice! We typically split, not to save money, but because most servings are simply too large and we would rather leave comfortable than massively stuffed. We paired a split Caesar Salad and Boscaiola with a couple of glasses of a local Cabernet Sauvignon. Everything was excellent! And... no split charge. Our server was pleasant and attentive. The location is right on the Portland Waterfront and within walking distance of our hotel. A win-win all around. Definitely will recommend.

    Cozy restaurant right by the waterfront! They serve delicious pasta with an awesome view. It's wise to make a reservation due to limited seating! BURRATA Creamy burrata cheese served with arugula, tomato, and balsamic. This dish didn't win me over; I felt like it was missing something... TRADITIONAL BOLOGNESE Slow-cooked meat ragu simmered for 6 hours and served with fresh tagliatelle pasta! I had to try this classic dish, and it didn't disappoint. Its simplicity and bold flavors were delightful. The sauce had a great balance of acidity, though a tad oily. ZAFFERANO Penne bathed in a creamy sauce infused with the rich flavor of saffron. The saffron adds a floral note that elevates the dish in a sophisticated manner. I really enjoyed this pasta--trying it was a treat, especially since saffron is so boujeeeee. However, I probably wouldn't order it again. My husband didn't like the prominent saffron flavor. TIRAMISU No Italian date night is complete without tiramisu, and Il Terazzo's version is a winner. Layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers nestled in velvety mascarpone cream strike the perfect balance between sweet and creamy. This dessert is indulgent yet light, leaving you wanting just one more bite! We can't stop craving it. Pretty large for a dessert - perfect for splitting with your favorite person. I will be back just for this! DRANKSSS French 75 - gin, lemon syrup, bubbs. This one was exceptionally good. One of the best 75s I've ever had

    Burro di Salvia
    Michael L.

    This was a last minute decision since we were down by the marina and it was very nice. We were seated in the bar, which was cozy and had a nice view out over the river. D'Layne was our server and she was so helpful. She'd actually tried most of the menu and so could give us good advice, which we needed since most of the dishes were unfamiliar. We started with the soup of the day and the Caesar salad. Both were good but the soup - tomato bisque - was rich and creamy and perfect for a cold wet winter night. The fresh mint popped and set it apart from the usual bisque. We then had the Boscaiola and the Burro Di Salvia. The Boscaiola was rich and creamy with sausage and mushrooms. The Burro was delicious and light - a sweet potato ravioli with sage. We finished with the cannoli. My favorite was the rum raisin. This is a great option on the waterfront.

    To speak about Teardrop Lounge, I should probably start with this:…read more Ladies and gentlemen, I present my favorite cocktail bar. Not the best -- I'm not arrogant enough to claim that. I haven't been to every cocktail bar in Portland, and saying something is the best usually says more about your lack of experience than your conviction. But favorite? That I can stand behind. And I want to get that out of the way early, because of the amount of praise I'm about to pour on this place -- fully earned, completely intentional. The biggest crime here is that I only discovered it two weeks ago, after living in Portland for a year. It had been recommended to me countless times, and I ignored it. A mistake. A painful one. But now that I've found it, I don't plan on making that mistake again. I'm not typically an Old Fashioned drinker. In fact, I usually hate them. But somewhere between curiosity and too many episodes of Mad Men, I decided to try one anyway -- fully expecting to confirm my bias. Instead, it completely flipped me. Bright, almost citrus-forward in a way that felt unusual but entirely intentional. Balanced, smooth, just enough burn to remind you what you're drinking without overwhelming it. It was the first time I actually understood the appeal. I'm pretty sure I grew a few chest hairs that night. That alone would've been impressive. But it didn't stop there. The space is beautiful -- clean, intentional, but not cold. The staff are excellent: personable, engaged, and most importantly, authentic. Not scripted, not performative. The kind of people you actually want to talk to, and hopefully, eventually be on a first-name basis with. Now, all of that gets it close to a perfect score. But what pushes it over the edge -- what makes this place stick -- is the White Russian. One of the first drinks I ever had. My dad's drink. Not because of The Big Lebowski -- that came later -- but because it's just always been his thing. And at some point, it became mine too. Typically, when bars try to "elevate" a White Russian, they ruin it. They overthink it. Swap ingredients, tweak ratios, add unnecessary flair. And more often than not, it ends in disappointment. Teardrop does the opposite. They respect it -- but refine it. The coffee liqueur actually tastes like coffee. The heavy cream is properly integrated, not just dumped on top. The vodka -- whatever they're using -- is clean, present, and perfectly measured. There's a subtle complexity to it without losing what makes the drink what it is. It's the best White Russian I've ever had. No hesitation. I've gone back twice just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. If someone asked me what my death row drink would be -- this specific cocktail, from this specific bar, is in the conversation. Easily. Teardrop Lounge doesn't just make great cocktails. It reminds you why cocktails matter in the first place. And that's why it's my favorite.

    We came to Teardrop Cocktail Lounge while visiting Portland and were genuinely impressed…read more The cocktails were excellent -- thoughtful, well-balanced, and clearly made by people who know what they're doing. One of the best parts was how approachable the bartenders were. We asked for custom drinks based on our preferences, and both came out perfectly tailored. Creative without being weird, and strong without being sloppy. What really stood out was the price point. For the quality of cocktails, the prices felt very reasonable compared to similar craft cocktail bars in other cities. The vibe was also great -- relaxed, cozy, and not pretentious. It felt like a place where you could come for a special drink experience without feeling like you had to "perform" or order off a rigid menu. We liked it so much we actually came back a second time during our trip. Highly recommend if you're into well-crafted cocktails, friendly bartenders, and a laid-back but elevated atmosphere.

It was exactly the vibe we were looking for for a relaxed evening out. If you're into speakeasy-style bars, creative cocktails, and cozy, hidden-gem energy, Bible Club is an absolute must when you're in Portland.

I really enjoyed the bar and want to enjoy it in the future, but I don't think it's necessary to have those things in the bar and doesn't add anything to how cool the bar is apart from that. UPDATE: the bar messaged me. They were super professional and kind in their response. I really appreciate that they were open to my perspective on the colonial items and said they will be removed.
