I was expecting more when I returned to this much familiar bar . Jarana is located inside of Lulu or is it part of it ?? The answers from our server/bartender were kind of vague but nevertheless it was the same premises and the vibe is intimate, dark and modern. We started off with two overpriced cocktails, that did seem to justify the description on the menu but were just not my taste and this was followed by some mediocre food . we had - Empanada - Lackluster ,but not bad . Really average tasting . I dint taste the mozzarella at all Akisisho Wings and Noodles- Fried chicken with thin vermicelli styled noodles . This dish did have flavor and good portion sizes but the fried chicken was super oversalted and kind of overpowered the whole dish . The service was just alright and the food did come out really fast . The co-owner/bartender come in to chat with us and asked us about our experience and how they have revamped the menu post re-opening . I did have higher expectations from them as my previous experiences at Lulu have been good but this time they did not match them .

lomo saltado

Wowie, Jarana brings the Japanese-Peruvian fusion that Portland didn't know it needed. Tucked away behind Lulu Bar, this cocktail bar serves delicious drinks and dope food. There's no table service and you order food and drinks from the bar. We came on a Thursday at 6:30 and the place was pretty quiet but got busier as the night goes on. They also feature various DJs in the evenings during the weekends. The ambiance is dark, classy, perfect for a date night or just enjoying good food in a cool location. We ordered the lomo saltado and chicken katsu bowl. Food did take a minute to come out, but boy was it good. The saltado was savory, tangy, and the chimichurri sauce freshened the dish. The steak was tender, juicy - perfectly cooked. The garlic rice was fragrant and had a hint of coconut - a beautiful pairing. The chicken katsu was crispy, juicy, not too heavily breaded. The coleslaw was light, refreshing, zesty. All the flavors and textures blended and harmonized like a fine-tuned orchestra. Everything was a hit, and it's always a double win in my books when a cocktail bar has food that is worth coming back for. The Nikkei cuisine that Jarana has highlights both cultures and adds to the diversity that Portland offers.

Delicious Peruvian food, highly recommend the oysters, ceviche and empanadas. They use Shigoku Oyster which outstanding

Bone marrow
Dylan N.

Jarana is located inside of the bar Lulu and is absolutely wonderful. My party and I dined on Bone marrow, Octopus, empanadas, oysters, and calamari. We all thoroughly enjoyed the dishes but especially the seafood options. We came away impressed with the selection of food on the menu as these dishes are not your typical idea of "bar food." Richie and Gary, the chefs on hand, were extremely friendly and accommodating when serving us. Additionally, the staff at Lulu was awesome as well. All around a great evening out and we will be definitely be returning!

The ambiance was romantic and hip at the same time. The food was good. The dessert was weird which is why I only gave it four stars.

Ok. Those who know my reviews probably already know that I love seafood and visiting Portland, so…read moreit'll be no surprise that I've found a new restaurant to love. That said, this may be a new favorite. I walked two miles from the Marriott Bidwell and crossed the Willamette River to come here (an added bonus: I love how walkable Portland is). The restaurant is low-key and ultra-casual with patio and bar dining. I went for the bar, since that is usually the best option for interaction when dining solo on a work trip. Great choice: Alex the bartender and the folks seated at the bar were super-friendly. Now the food... holy moly! Fantastic oysters (I have to have oysters whenever I come to the PNW)! Briny, sweet and delicious, with a tasty garlic mignonette. Next up: Spot Prawn Crudo in a coconut lime "milk" with red onions. Tender, complex and delicious. Now, the main course was probably the best steelhead I've ever had. Sustainably sourced from an indigenous-owned farm in Washington. It was incredibly Buttery, with rich umami... perfect! I came will an Asian-style kale slaw and coconut sesame rice. The chili crisp oil topping put it over the top. This place was perfect. I will be back.

Always great tacos! And even better that they're gluten free. I honestly didnt even know until…read moresomeone working the restaurant told us. LOVE the fish tacos, fish & chips, oysters and other dishes in the past. We recently tried a new or seasonal dish. I think it was watermelon, mint and octopus? Which very tasty.. the amount of octopus was such a small amount that the $20 for the dish felt like we were cheated. I joked that we didn't even get a tentacle worth.

If you appreciate 'terroir' and how each environment impacts food sources uniquely; then you will appreciate the food of the Northwest. I have never experienced a raw oyster as I did that evening. I odered three on ice; all delicious but one especially just knocked me off my chair. It was so luscious and creamy, you must order it. The waiter informed me that it was a Pacific variety, but originated from Japan. We started with complimentary sour dough bread, soft and tasty. Then we shared a freshly prepared 'Classic Ceasar romaine, torn croutons, radish, Parmigiano-Reggiano, garlic-anchovy dressing This was exceptional. No bottled dressing here, hand-made and very tasty! My wife opted for the 'Fish + Chips: cider battered Pacific cod, fries, slaw, lemon' This arrived crispy and generous portions of fresh cod. Again, very well prepared. I chose the 'Sturgeon Picatta: butter-whipped yukon potatoes, lemon-caper sauce, wild mushrooms, crispy shallots persillade' If you have never tasted sturgeon, this is a must-try dish. The fish is moist and sweet tasting and has a very nice texture. All in all, we quafed local beers and enjoyed our meals immensely.

One of Portland's finest from succulent steaks to fresh seafood to some of the best service…read more Beautiful cocktails and I appreciate that all the lemonades and N/A drinks are made with real fruit. The mashed potatoes are one of the best ever in terms of flavor and texture (and I do not play about potatoes). No matter what entree you get, you're in good hands. The parm crusted sole and clam chowder are a couple of my favorites. The decor is warm and gives a history lesson without feeling outdated. I've been multiple times and they make everyday feel like a special occasion. Big shout out to Benjamin who provided attentive service the last time I was in. As someone who's been in the service industry as well, it's truly a delight to meet others who enjoy what they do and are excellent at it. Go to Jake's with your honey, take your family, have a business meeting, or just take yourself on a date. You won't regret it.

I had the Hazelnut Crusted Brie, Raspberry Jam, and Crostini. Talk about a cheesy goey heaven There's also tons of eclectic decor to gander at while you sip on one of their amazing cocktails, I highly recommend the spiced raspberry cooler. Sitting there with my luggage next to me staring out the big windows, made me feel like a protagonist in a French film.

We both started with drinks: Me: Gimme three steps. It definitely hit the spot after a long day. Onto food - we started with the Tavern Salad ($16). It hit all the notes. Greens and radishes for crunch, apples to add sweetness and blue cheese crumbles for salt. A great start to a wonderful meal. Next: Grilled albacore ($41) and roasted cauliflower ($$28). The albacore tasted good and it had with it grilled summer squash, heirloom tomato & corn, charred eggplant puree, chile oil vinaigrette. Really loved the eggplant in some ways more than the tuna. Score another for PNW freshness! The cauliflower - spicy due to the chipotle glazed with brightness from the pickled corn. Along with some grilled oyster mushrooms and coconut corn puree with scallions -it was probably my favorite dish. Had I not been so full, I might have told Gregg M we needed to order another one! Highly recommend.

Bar is hopping and their happy hour can't be beat. Their stew (oyster) is simple, filled with plump, fresh poached oysters and though, again, simple it really hits the spot. Chicken sandwich was great, served as more of a Po Boy, which while not listed as such, fantastic. $24 dollars on happy hour for a dozen fresh shucked oysters and it's your choice, which is crazy, you can get a mix of whatever they've got! Most places will have shooters or you don't get to pick, wow! Fried clams were also a hit, best I've ever had. Large, tender (which is hard), and even the happy hour portion is enough for a main for me. There's even a little pepper in there I think. Most places, they are dry, small and over fried. Steamed mussels, wonderful. Service is also flawless, many folks around helping and making you feel welcome and comfortable. I know nothing about nothing when it comes to running a place like this, but I loved to see that any person is willing to assist with customers and keep the flow and pace going. I've been to many establishments where you can't get someone to save your life, and paid double or triple. I've heard this place could be in danger of closing, I hope not, that would be a serious loss for Portland. Big thank you and shout out to a great human being working the bar that I haven't seen in over 20 years from high school! Keep rocking!

The oysters were lovely both times…read more However this second visit (7/13/26) had me checking myself into the hospital the next day after *severe* gastrointestinal upset. I've had food poisoning before but nothing like this. While I understand it is a risk to consume raw oysters, I am sad that it happened to me here. Also, the shrimp cocktail as others have mentioned is not a true shrimp cocktail - it's baby shrimp. Would have loved to have had that clarification before ordering. Will I return? I don't know. What I endured in the last 24 hours leaves me skeptical about ever eating raw oysters again. Staff were attentive and friendly though. We sat outside and I didn't appreciate the punk music across the way. Kind of took away from the dining vibe.

We are typically brunch people, making it here most often on a Saturday or Sunday for a late brunch. Their benedicts are to die for... truly, they're all wonderful. Their Laser Potato is out of this world. Truly, my favorite item on their menu. It is fabulous in all ways. I often take a side of it home just to enjoy later. We recently tried them for dinner. Their muscles are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truly, the best I've ever had. This beats living in the southeast on the coast, any west-coast seafood restaurant, and every place I've ever enjoyed in Italy. They've certainly topped the muscle game. Highly recommend Olympic Provisions. I will gladly vouch that the negative reviews are from the haters, just to hate. The overall experience has never been anything less than fantastic. Photos to follow (hopefully, if I can find them! HA!) Enjoy OP next time you're in PDX!

Craving oysters (when did we become these people?!), we stopped in for lunch, ordered a half dozen (and later, another half dozen), plus the Rockfish and Chips, and the Hot and Crispy Fish Sando. Everything was enjoyable: the sando was reminiscent of an upscale Fish Filet (I mean that in a positive way) with a tiny bit of heat; the Rockfish were fried in a salt-and-pepper-y seasoned batter that paired well; and the oysters, of course, were a particular highlight, as previously mentioned, since a second set was ordered to finish off the meal. The only disappointing thing about the whole meal was a rather uninspired spicy Bloody Mary, which didn't really do much for me, sadly. Service was friendly and attentive, and the covered outdoor dining area was spacious, well-lit, and warm enough to be welcoming and comfortable. There's also a secondary covered and fenced dining patio that is dog-friendly, which is another perk! And lastly, the market and bar inside boasts a heaping helping of fresh fish finery coming in many forms: fresh, frozen, 'frigerated, filleted and fried, either served over the counter, or available to-go. Lots of smoked salmon options as well! Very cool place, and one that my wife in particular has fallen in love with. We'll definitely be returning, likely for dinner next time, to see if the menu is expanded with additional options such as scallops, swordfish, steelhead and other seasonal selections.
