Brazilian is a distinct cuisine that is sadly underrepresented in Portland -- the only other…read moreBrazilian places I know of are a fancy steakhouse downtown and a chain coffeeshop in Beaverton. Nothing against those two, but this place is where to go for a scrumptious, filling, reasonably prices and authentic Brazilian meal, served by a charming chef who is fluent in English, Spanish and her native Portuguese. This is deep soul food, with some ingredients that look familiar -- black beans, collard greens -- yet taste different from the more common US preparations. Try the feijoada or the veggie plate or, for something very different, the moqueca. The flavors are all interesting but quite mild, although there is hot sauce available on request. It's part of a pod with other interesting-looking carts, including other South American cuisines, and a terrific beverage cart.

Was staying at the hotel and saw this place. I usually avoid hotel restaurants but the client I was…read morevisiting said this place was really good, without knowing I was staying there The place is down stairs from the lobby and it's dark and cool. Took a seat at the bar and was greeted promptly. Looked over the menu and decided on the smoked angels envy old fashioned. It was happy hour so I got the half wedge salad. Was not a traditional wedge but was really good. For my main I got the lomo saltado, mole rubbed steak tips with onions, peppers, French fries over rice. Was a wild mix of stuff. Steak pieces were pretty small but full of flavor and the sauce over the whole thing was delicious. Was worried the fries would be soggy but the sauce made them better. Sopped up the sauce with the rice and fries. Amazing. Asked for a margarita to go with the meal, seemed appropriate. Sat at the bar so service was good, kept water full and checked in repeatedly Was a great time and great food

That note aside, the Happy Hour menu was great, food was absolutely fantastic and the wait staff was on point! I loved the lineup of sexy NA drinks in addition to the unique cocktails and solid wine lineup. Unfortunately the acoustics were outdated as was the interior overall. It needed some freshening up for a Hilton. The outdoor seating could only accommodate groups of two which was a bummer. Those points aside, everything we sampled tasted fantastic and the wait staff made the experience fun.

It comes with a bone marrow you scoop and mix in yourself making it extra flavorful. Absolute favorite. Ribeye as steak, a full 16 oz (a full pound of thick meaty goodness) grilled over an open fire grill. Medium rare served with unlimited chimichurri sauce. Gave me the meat sweats. SautÉed Mushrooms & Spinach came with shiitake, crimini & king trumpet mushrooms, alliums, wilted spinach. Love mushrooms with steak. Hella good pairing. And I dare say, the best dessert I ever had in my life. Order the VANILLA BEAN TRES LECHES CAKE with Strawberry compote, vanilla bean cake, dulce de leche, strawberry meringues. I died and went to heaven.

We made reservations since it was a weekend and we wanted a table on the outside patio next to the view of the Columbia river. Service is outstanding from the hostess to the waiter. They were on top of everything. Each dish is beautifully presented and the flavor exquisite. We ordered the Tuna Tostadas and Pork Belly Skewers for appetizers. For entree the Seafood Paella, took me back to Spain flavors. For drinks we had a Guava Lavender Margarita which was very smooth. Paella is big like for 4 people to share. Ambiance is upscale, whimsical and a place to dress up for a celebration. Restaurant is big with tables inside and outside as well as a long fire table for people to share like a bar style.

My ID, social security card, all my credit cards, jewelry, my other phone and my AirPods. The way the staff handled the situation and comforted me meant more than I can put into words. I was beyond grateful for their kindness, care, and compassion during such a stressful and upsetting situation. They packed up all of our food and gave it to us on the house, even brought me a blanket and wrapped it around me to help comfort me. One of the waiters even went with my husband to help look for my bag. If it weren't for him and the valet worker, who I believe was named Jacob, the situation would have been so much harder than it already was. Even before this happened, every time I've come in, the staff has always been so kind, welcoming, and professional. But after yesterday, I have an even deeper appreciation and love for this place. Not only is the food amazing, but the people here truly care about their customers. I will forever be grateful to their entire team for taking such good care of me during a difficult moment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Enticed by all the good reviews for this place and a hankering for Latin American food, I needed to…read morecheck them out. They're quiet on a Friday afternoon. Their space is very colorful and has a lot of fun energy. Their menu is pretty focused but the items all sound very tasty. We went with an Empanada of the day, The Cubano, and the Bandeja. Their focused menu certainly paid off when you see how fresh and well-executed their dishes were. The empanada of the day was a mushroom and cheese. It's made fresh so the cheese was nice and gooey. Their crust is different from what I'm used to. It seems to be a mix of maize and cornmeal rather than flour. I think it gave a nice crunchy crust and slightly chewy inside. A bit small for the price though. The Cubano was again made fresh. Bread was nice and crispy. Inside was filled with hearty meat and cheese. A solid sandwich, especially when paired with their pico de gallo. The start of the meal was easily the Bandeja. You can choose between chicken and flat iron steak for the Bandeja; we went with the steak and we weren't disappointed. It's cooked medium-rare, making the steak super tender. The outside crust was well-seasoned and flavorful. The Plato came with a lot of other tasty things like a perfect over-easy egg, rice and beans, avocado, and the best chicharron I've had. It's small but packed a punch. The outside was crispy all around while the fat layer was still melt-in-your-mouth soft. This dish had everything, perfect for sharing. The staff were attentive and friendly. Happy hour is from 3-5PM on weekdays. All in all, we had an amazing meal and will be spreading the word of their goodness for sure.
