I came with my coworker last night 8/18 for a kittle team bonding dinner. My first time there. I loved that it was a built in an older style home. It gives you this feeling of familiarity like you're being invited into someone's home. The temperature, the decor, the table settings, the glassware. Everything was well done, neat, clean. Our server Owen was knowledgeable, friendly but professional and gave wonderful service. I felt taken care of while still being able to converse with my coworker freely. His attention to detail was impressive. From the way he held the wine bottle as he poured, to the re plating and de crumbing the table. Excellent. We ordered the salad, clams and mussels, the pasta, the crepe and duck. Every dish was delicious. The kitchen did a wonderful job of coursing things. My coworker loved the pasta which was probably the #1 dish, but I was a huge fan of the crepe. There was another couple near us and I overheard Owen suggesting a wine to them. Their wine list is extensive and Owen seemed knowledgeable and comfortable making a pairing suggestion. Dessert was offered as was a coffee or after dinner drink. L' Orange hits every mark if you're looking for a lovely dinner out. Next time I want to sit at the bar as I only got to peek in but it looked like it would be a fun experience. Thanks Owen and L'Orange team! read more

L'Orange is a cute French spot. Step thru the Orange door and you'll find the atmosphere is charming, the food is thoughtful, and every dish had layers of flavor. I originally came here with a girlfriend, but honestly, this place feels made for date night. Romantic and intimate. We had a reservation and our waiter seated us and gave us the lay of the land, took their advice and ordered their recommendations - we ordered multiple dishes to share. We would have ordered more but we were headed to a concert later so could not overdo it. The dishes were small but packed with flavor. After eating here, it's easy to see why they've earned a James Beard Award. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

We had to wait quite a bit even though we had a reservation and other parties that came after were seated before us. Food was decent but expensive for what it was. The desserts were quite good though. read more

Had an amazing time here with amazing service. Location is the second floor of a residential-type building a little off the corner. Very warm inside - a lot of nice funky seating and a great bar. They have slots/drawers you can tuck your phone to focus on dinner/company. Had a few wines (they're know for their selection), all were great. Menu can be seasonal - FYI. Food: started with the chicken liver - it came highly recommended and other reviews raved about it... I was curious and I will say... it was absolutely delicious. I do wish it was a little room temperature but it was smooth and flavorful. Crust is a great texture combo. They sell out for a reason... Broccolini was a bomb ass dish. Get this. The toasted sesame seeds.. chefs kiss. I'm putting this on my salads from now on. Duck was a favorite. Very earthy and comforting. Very tender and a good mix with the tomato and starch. Not the usual way I eat duck but I was happy. Sturgeon was probably my favorite. Not really used to eating this type of fish - it was very meaty, not flakey. Almost Filling. Had mussels, clams and squid in the white sauce with toasted bread. Hella shareable. Finished off with the L'Orange cake... they toast it with a crème brûlée ish cardamon topping. Definitely get this. Amazing experience. Will be back soon. read more

Amazing! I ordered the duck. When it came out, I stuck my fork in it so that I could cut it with my knife, but it just fell apart. I mean the duck was so tender that I didn't need to cut it. That's about all I need to say I mean seriously. Most restaurants give you terrible bread and butter as filler, but their sourdough bread is so good that I ate the whole loaf before getting my meal. Whoops! Then I got the chicken liver. My dad used to make me eat Oscar Mayer Liverwurst as a kid but this was like totally way better! Entree was the duck, as previously mentioned. Bone app the teeth! Muah! And the dessert? Meh. Every time I get a fancy restaurant dessert I realize what a delicacy the molten lava cake at Chili's is. My American palette just needs more than what L'Orange cake can provide. Sorry not sorry. (From a future diabetic.) Service is great. They recite all the complicated ingredients to you when they serve it and talk about things like 'reductions' and freshly grated horseradish. Place is an old building which is cool if you reject stale modernism like an intellectual should. read more

10/5 for the service. Our Waiter was so attentive. Always made sure we had wine poured. Even brought us out comped ice cream because it paired well with our dessert. The food was delicious, the scallops and sturgeon were some of my favs. But that whiskey ice cream, YUMMMMM read more

I'd been dying to try this place, so we grabbed a reservation here for a random Tuesday night. The restaurant is in a little house and the seats are VERY close together. It's cute, but I do wish we had a bit more space and privacy. It seemed like everyone was celebrating something, which makes sense, I think it would be a great option for a special occasion. The service was great! The servers were all so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, they made great suggestions. We started with the Hamachi - yellowtail crudo, kumquat vinaigrette, apple, kohlrabi. I don't eat raw fish, but my husband enjoyed it. We moved on to the salad - spring things, sprouts, crunchy bits, green garlic ranch. It smelled SO good when it hit the table, a weird thing to say about a salad, but the dressing was delicious. It was perfectly dressed and we loved the crunchy bits on top. For mains, we went with the Pork - roasted belly, parisian gnocchi, spring onions, turnips, pistachios, harissa. This dish had so many interesting flavors and textures, it was a true delight to eat! The pasta was spring in a bowl - casarecce, prawns, peas, preserved lemon, herbed breadcrumbs. I loved that everything was cut into smaller pieces so it was really easy to get everything in each bite. I also loved the pops of lemon, it really brightened the dish. The menu changes seasonally, so every couple of months, but their namesake cake is always available and I highly recommend it. The L'Orange cake - oranges, cardamom, torched meringue - was perfect. The top had a perfect brûlée, the cardamom icing was incredible, and the dollops of orange really elevated it. This is a great option if you love complex but approachable dishes that play with textures and flavors. I do wish the seating was a little different and some of the portions were a little bigger, but smaller portions gives you the opportunity to try more things. Lean into that and enjoy! read more

Situated in an old Victorian house L'Orange is an amazing small, medium, and large plates plates menu which are meant to be shared. They have an excellent wine list and it is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Portland! I went one year for my birthday and they ran the special of pork jowl, it was so delicious and it really reminded me of how my grandmother would have prepared it if there were upscale restaurants in her time, my memories just flooded back in! The decor of the restaurant is gorgeously decorated with LeCruset pot lids above their picture rail on the walls and beautiful wallpaper! Very shabby chic! The service was excellent on my birthday visit! read more

First, the highlights. The sturgeon and chicken liver tartlet lived up to the hype. We did think the chicken liver tartlet could do without the raspberry gelee. Our entire group thought the gelee overpowered the delicious, delicate chicken liver mousse. We ended up scraping off the gelee. The sturgeon was perfectly seasoned and crisped to perfection. The cheese plate was interesting, especially if you've never had this type of cheese (the smoked basque (goat)). The squash was absolute perfection! Don't miss it! We all felt like the pork belly was a miss. We'd skip it next time. I know this will be a much debated opinion, but the L'Orange cake that everyone raves about was just okay to us. The whiskey barrel ice cream blew the cake right out of the water! We'd skip the cake and just go for the ice cream next time. One thing to note that ended our dinner on quite a sour note - you are given 2 hrs for your reservation. When the last dish was removed from our plate, a staff member (not our waiter) almost immediately came to the table and said, "You need to clear this table right now for the next guests." Not a "thanks so much for coming and hope you enjoyed your meal" ... basically just told us to get moving (one of our party was still in the bathroom at this point!). After spending upwards of $500 on food and wine, you expect a little more courtesy at the end of the meal. I tried not to let that taint my review of the food, but it was not a great end to the night. Overall, you should definitely try L'Orange at least once! Just know, the timer is running ... read more

L'orange was good, but with all the great restaurants in Portland it didn't wow us enough to come back. Particularly enjoyed the Salad, Beef Cheek, Duck and L'Orange cake. Crepe tasted almost fishy (think there were likely anchovies not disclosed on the menu) and the Pasta was pretty blah. Menu is constructed well for sharing. The seating setup was a bit strange - with everyone effectively facing each other, and not much space or privacy between the tables. read more

Sweet cozy place, perfect for date night. We enjoyed every bite and had no room for desert. Next time we will definitely leave room for their cute little desserts. Service was excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable. The restaurant is on the second floor currently with construction happening on the first floor. Apparently it will become a wine tasting/ice cream addition to l'orange in the future. Street parking was fairly easy to obtain but be aware that l'orange signage is kind of darkly lit and difficult to catch your eye at night. read more

I was excited to try this place and see the lovely decor. I started with the salad. The blue cheese was off tasting with the dressing. The persimmons however were absolutely delicious. A simple goat cheese may have been better for this salad. I also ordered the duck. Seemed mostly one dimensional overall with the other ingredients in the dish. That and my palate was off from the salad. The dining room was quite dark as well and l I couldn't really see much of what I was eating. Dessert was the orange cake made with almond flour. Delicious. May try this place again in the future when the menu changes. read more

We went for the Valentines Day Tasting Menu as we have been wanting to try this place and enjoy doing tasting menus. A vast majority of the food was pretty good with the wines being hit or miss for my personal taste preference. The Kauai Shrimp still had some ice bits in it so that really detracted from the lighter flavors. The biggest issue though was for almost 300 per person it felt absurd at the end of the meal for not everything being top notch. Portions were decent for tasting menu size with some items a tad on the small side but overall I think worked well. The price for normal service (non tasting/special event) with sizes sounds more reasonable but unfortunately hesitant to give another shot. If doing a tasting for that much or even a bit less there are a couple others place around town that are much more worth it. read more

What an incredible meal!! We went with friends and shared a collection of medium and large plates which I highly recommend. We did 2 medium and 4 large plates and 1 dessert for a group of 4 and it was a perfect amount of food. We finished every bite of every item! The menu changes seasonally but the cauliflower, crepe, gnocchi, and duck were all delicious. The L'orange cake is also a special treat- the layers are done beautifully and the flavor is amazing. The chef clearly knows what he is doing! My only complaint (and it's very small) is the bread order is really small for the price and we had to get two orders for 4 people. The ambiance is very cute and perfect for a group meal or a date night. The server was very friendly, informative, and gave helpful tips on ordering. This was an all around wonderful meal and I am looking forward to going back next season to try their menu! read more

Drinks: - N/A Food: - The gnocchi is super soft, they use a non potato batter which lends itself to be softer than the traditional version. The carrots in this dish added an earthy dimension to it that I enjoyed - The soup is a French onion soup, the gruyere on top is amazing. It's rich, it's not very pungent (in a good way), there's a slight tanginess and acidity to the soup that I liked, I'd say this is a must get appetizer - The pork phenomenal, our server described it as similar to pork belly in texture and they were spot on with that description. The pork melts, this dish can be a little deceiving since the portions don't look that big, but the richness of the dish can fill you up fast, so don't let looks fool you - The sorbet was whatever, it was okay - The early grey ice cream is a great dessert, the tea flavor really comes out. Sometimes when I have tea infused ice cream I have a hard time detecting the tea, but this place does not pull its punches in the best way. The tea aroma lingers. If you have a sweet tooth or some extra room in the tank after your meal, get this. I do however wish that the cookies on top were softer, I think that would compliment the ice cream a little better than the crumbly texture Ambience: - This place is an old apartment building that is converted into a restaurant, it's a very unique ambience. It goes without saying that since this restaurant is a renovated apartment unit, it feels very homey - It's a smaller place that is packed in so don't expect a lot of wiggle room when moving around - The bar area and bar seating is beautiful I really liked the aesthetics of it. I noticed that the cutlery cabinets are actually Husky tool chests/workbenches which I thought was a clever way to use different storage options for kitchen utensils Overall: I totally would come here again. It was an unassuming place, and felt like I was walking into someone's home when I arrived. The staff were wonderful, they engaged with the customers and made small talk feel less like a chore and more like a real conversation. I can tell they're passionate about the restaurant which made me like the place more. They have plans for renovating the downstairs to be a deli of some sort, whenever that's done I'm definitely going to check it out. I really enjoyed my time here, I would recommend it for a date night though you should know that everything in that place is an echo chamber so don't be surprised if you find yourself eavesdropping or getting eavesdropped on. My girlfriend and I were dialed in on a conversation happening next to us where a couple were having a heated talk. It was the best entertainment accompanying a meal that I could ask for (for context on the conversation: a lady was upset with her partner for not opening up with his feelings, she was grilling him for that. Apparently this is their 3rd date. Both my girlfriend and I felt sorry for him, he was getting reamed in a restaurant where all of us can hear the intimate details of her dissatisfaction with their relationship) read more

This was such a wonderful dining experience. Each dish had varying flavor profiles and delicious at that. I love the cozy and intimate atmosphere of the place, it felt like a fine dining experience in someone's home. The service was attentive and each dish was presented and explained to us with care. I haven't had a meal like this in a while, so I was eager to try many dishes. From their menu (which rotate seasonally), we tried the Leeks, Fall Salad, Cauliflower, Duck, and Boneless Short Rib. The stand outs for me were the Leeks, Duck, and Boneless Short Rib. The crab mousse in the leeks were so smooth and flavorful and paired so well with the soft poached leeks. The short ribs were perfectly tender and had such a rich flavor of beef that was complimented by the braised wine. I surprisingly loved the combination of the chickpea fritter and harissa together with the beef. Highly recommend! read more

I wanted to try a new place for date night and picked a good one. The food was excellent, the service was warm. I made a reservation for the purple room which has about 4 small tables. There is another room that has more tables and a bar. The restaurant is on the second floor of a converted house. I don't think they have an elevator, so you're aware. We got mostly what the waiter recommended. The chicken liver mousse tart was savory and delicate, crust being flaky and good contrast to the vinaigretted frissee. The grilled cauliflower still had crunch and umami. I picked the duck confit which had delicious crispy crust and a slight sweet, salty sauce. My husband had the pork coppa which is a braised pork shoulder over a sauce with delicious huge beans. I thought all the food was outstanding, the presentation was great and flavors well balanced. Ended the night with an almond flour orange cake, not too sweet. I might have skipped that one because the gelee was a little tart and cake a denser than expected. The waiter was great at helping us navigate the menu. I liked all the choices available and can't wait to try more of them. I don't think there is a wrong choice here. Their menu options rotate. read more

One of the best meals I've had in Portland. The restaurant appears to have been a house previously and the dining room is quite small. We were sat at the bar that made up almost the entirety of one of the two rooms, tucked into the corner in a way that was difficult to get in and out of the seat, which wasn't the greatest, but not too big of a deal. The service was very knowledgeable and I liked that all of the staff who was within earshot were happy to help, not just our waiter. Quick notes about the restaurant: they don't have cocktails, and they ask you to order everything except desert all at once to help their small kitchen. With that out of the way, the most important part, the meal: We started with wine - I had an orange produced by Golden Cluster, the winery from the same ownership as the restaurant, and my wife had a french rosé, both of which we liked a lot. The orange wine was a more funky, tannic option, and the rosé was smooth and floral without being overly sweet. Our first plate was the scallop crudo, which was delicious and refreshing but nothing other-the-top amazing. We then had the asparagus with crispy chicken skin which was one of the best vegetable plates I've ever had. The asparagus was perfectly tender and sweet, and the chicken skin, which was pulverized into a coarse powder, added a wonderful savory and textural aspect. For our larger plates, we had the beef cheek, which was an off-menu special that evening. It was so tender! It came on a bed of polenta with pepper shaved into strands and popped sorghum. Very creative and well-balanced. Our next plate was somehow even better that the last: perfectly cooked sturgeon - tender and juicy with crispy skin - served on a tomato-based stew with chickpeas, calamari, and smoked mussels. This was really incredible! For dessert, we had their orange cake, which was quite tasty, but slightly dry, and a scoop of their house-made early gray ice cream which was so creamy and delicious. I like that it had a bit of salt in the ice cream. We also had a cardamaro and a dessert wine, the latter of which was particularly well-matched with the dessert. A great meal all-around. read more

Back one month later and it's still impressive. Kat's not there any more but her replacement did a great job with our wine pairings. The hospitality continues to be superb and the food continues to be amazing. The bar is without doubt our favorite place to sit. Warm and comfortable. This is our new regular spot. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Our friend made a dinner reservation here and honestly I wouldn't have found it otherwise. It's on the second floor of a building and if you didn't know where to look it's easy to miss. It does have a really cozy space and decor but it does get pretty loud as the place echos. It's family style so we got a good mix of their menu items at the time with the crepe, duck, chicken liver, etc. We got some wine to pair with the meal as well. All in all, it was alright with the creativity of the dishes and flavors. I would rate it higher but our server felt a little out of it when we would ask for recommendations and how to pair things so docking a star for that. read more

We were fortunate that we had houseguests arriving shortly after L'Orange gained notoriety via the NY Times. We were able to get reservations before they became overwhelmed. I love the space - they're located on the second floor of a building that's seen all kinds of uses in the 100+ years that it's been standing. Rooms are laid out in a compact maze that reveals itself bit by bit. It's a delightful place for a meal where you can feel like you're almost the only ones present. The menu is small, but with enough variety of starters, salads, and entrees that everyone will be able to find something they like. On the night we were there, beef, sturgeon, duck, mussels, and gnocchi were offered. The wine list had items that were exclusive to the restaurant, as well as others that were made by the owner. We had a lovely owner's Albarino, only the third local offering of this Spanish white that we've encountered. As I write this, I just looked at their reservation page, and, while prime time seating is unavailable, I'm seeing early and later availability on multiple nights. Grab 'em while you can. read more

Visited last Tuesday with reservations via Resy (deposit required). Street parking is pretty easy. Not very accessible though, you need to walk up some stairs to get to the restaurant. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated... and air conditioned, which was very helpful for the 100 degree day that we visited! We arrived 15 minutes early for our reservation and were seated right away. It appears that they serve only wine and beer for now. The wine selection was decent, with glass options for sparkling, red, white, orange and rose. However, the beer selection was poor, with only 2 options. My husband and I ordered a glass of orange wine, the lyonnaise salad, the gnocchi, and the mussels & clams. The lyonnaise salad was very tasty, bright, savory, crunchy, creamy... it had all the right elements. The gnocchi was also delicious, but sadly the amount of gnocchi was really small. The mussels & clams was a fun dish with the corn, potatoes, artichokes, sauce, and sourdough bread. However, one of the three clams we opened was full of dirt. We pointed this out to the waiter when he collected our dish, and he kind of just shrug it off and stated that "it happens." His response added to our disappointment; an apology would have went a long way. Overall, I was expecting a lot more from one of Portland's hottest new restaurants. The menu looks great, but the execution wasn't quite there for us. read more

We were really looking forward to trying L'Orange, but unfortunately the experience was very underwhelming, especially given the price point. We ordered the French onion soup, gnocchi, sturgeon, beef cheek, scallop, and chicken liver. Out of all the dishes, the gnocchi had the most flavor and even that was just okay, not something I'd order again. The sturgeon was essentially tasteless and the beans were undercooked, the French onion soup was very average, and the scallop was extremely small and not worth the cost. The chicken liver was fine, but nothing memorable. The beef cheek also failed to stand out. For a restaurant that positions itself as elevated and charges accordingly, the food lacked depth, seasoning, and excitement. We left feeling like the meal didn't come close to justifying the price. Disappointing experience overall. read more

Fantastic meal here for my wife's bday. Very intimate space on 2nd level of a house in SE Portland. Excellent service throughout. Chef Joel Stocks (previously at Holdfast which was awesome) impresses here with innovative farm to table cooking. All dishes were solid, the wine was good, not great. Started with 2 house specials: Uni custard  with cured salmon roe and smoked scallops, topped with cured radishes - this was special! And baked oysters with summer veg relish, roasted gruyere on top with a shishito hot sauce. Then, a chicory salad with smoked trout roe, anchovies, bottarga - wow! The main was mussels, clams, baked cod, bok choy, blistered tomatoes ,zatarain sauce - best Mussels and clam dish I've ever had! Great baguette too to sop up the sauces! The wine was a French Old vine Syrah - Lionel Fury's Saint Joseph. Good, but was hoping for a little bigger, more dusty... All in all, this is a spot not to miss in the great Portland culinary scene! read more

Enjoyed my meal at this cozy French bistro that feels like you're going to someone's home for a fancy dinner. This relatively new restaurant got a lot of national love last fall so I grabbed a reservations at the counter for myself before things get too crazy. The menu is French food but presented in really high-dining format. For example, the duck confit come out in a square block, seared off around the edges. Very modern asthetics. But what's also nice is that flavors of the dishes are complex with many layers. A simple cauliflower starter had a mix of tastes coming from the poached pears and date dressing. It was a surprise. The starter of chicken liver mousse tart was great in flavor, but it's premade so it did come out cold, and I wished it was more room temperature. For dessert I had the L'Orange cake, or orange cake that was also presented the same way my earlier duck course. It had caramelized edges almost like a creme brulee surface. Overall a memorable meal and experience. read more

I've been here twice now and I have had great experiences both times. The space is located on the 2nd story of a cute old house, interior is warm & cozy, emanating date night vibes. On our most recent visit we ordered the scallops, cheese plate, chicory salad, lamb crepe, and the duck. All the food was excellent and enough for two people to be satiated. The service is some of the friendliest and most welcoming in town (shout out to our server Erica). Putting this place on my favorites list. read more

Gastronomically one of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time! Make a reservation. Entrance is kind of hidden, it's a small door that goes straight upstairs to the second floor of a repurposed house. Server was so friendly and descriptive. Food flavors and wine were impeccable. Went with a friend but would also be a great date night. Highly recommend and felt like value was great for cost. read more

If you are looking for a quaint, delicious, date night location -- this is the place for you. Step into this restaurant and be transported from Portland to France. It is located upstairs of an old house, steep twisty staircase. The food was excellent. The service was attentive, helpful, and very lovely. I had made reservations which I suggest! My husband and I started with the soup -- so many flavors and very delicious. We then had the chicken liver - very creamy and flavorful. Limited menu which I appreciated. I think had the gnocchi and my husband had the braised beef. The beef was the most tender we have ever had. The gnocchi was to die for. . This has definitely landed on our top Portland restaurants and we will be going back again. read more

The food was okay. We were visiting from out of town and was looking forward to it. There was a lipstick stain on our glass (i was not wearing lipstick and there was a hair in one of our dishes. We didn't mention the hair, just plucked it out (wish i would have) It was after we returned the stained glass, so i just felt weird...like maybe they were going to think we wanted a free meal. I was in denial. No way did both of these things just happen!? Anyway, the ambience was nice. unique. located in a very small upper level of an older house. Service was okay. Wouldn't go again and wouldn't recommend. read more

Best new addition to the Portland dining scene This restaurant has a beautifully curated wine list and great ambience. Think dimly lit, small intimate setting.

Make sure to get the scallops and chilled melon soup- life changing. read more

I would give 3.5 stars. The reason is the restaurant is more of wine bar than a food restaurant with limited food options. Unique location which makes you feel like you're at someone's home.

Had to try this restaurant due to love of wine, french cuisine, and value pricing. Bonus- Harry Potter theme decor; I was not aware but the bathroom is very fun. Apps- You have to order the chicken liver. It looks like a dark chocolate tart, but it is the smoothest and most delicious chicken liver you've ever tasted. Scallops app were very fresh. Onion soup is rich and cheesy and came piping hot on cold winter's day. You may want to skip the soup if you want to some dessert. Thumbs up to Duck, Sturgeon, Gnocchi and Pork entrees! You must save room for the L'Orange Cake. Wine selection is extensive and please ask your server for suggestions if you are undecided. You may get a 1/2 glass. We had different wines to pair with the various food and the wines were perfect! Will be back! read more

My wife and I added L'Orange to our list after the article on the Oregonian. Saturday night, we figured it's busy so we tried for a walk-in right when they opened at 5 PM. No problem! It was just the ambience we were looking for. Relaxed and pretty. We had bench seating in the room to the right. Honestly, that is the only way my wife lets us sit side-by-side at a restaurant. :-) Scoured the menu. What to have... What to have... Waiter (bartender?) gives us the rundown. Small plates, medium, etc. Their take on French soup? A gobbler. Caviar with the leeks? But, of course! Oooh! This wine IS orange! Delightful! We could've gotten all the dishes to share. But we've been married for over 20 years and didn't find that to be absolutely necessary. Kim ordered the sturgeon and I ordered the duck confit. The sturgeon was fantastic and was served on a bed of ....lentils (?) and other stuff that created really good mouth feel. The duck was boneless, which saved me a bunch of time since taking the meat off the bone is sooooo exhausting. I liked the wine choices. And each of our dishes was so flavorful. if the dishes were a little on the rich side, that just meant, I probably could've shared the duck. But then... You could tell the restaurant was super modern, because none of the desserts look like they would be very good. So we left. read more

My partner and I went to L'Orange for date night about 1 week ago and I am still thinking about the lovely meal we had! The staff were friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and not overbearing. I highly recommend the chesse with bee pollen and candied hazelnuts! We also loved the duck (but of course the duck is amazing at a French restaurant!) The wine list was a little daunting but we were given a lot of excellent guidance and were even allowed to try before committing. Best of all- the prices were not unreasonable. I'm so used to inflated restaurant prices in Portland but the quality of the meal I was also incredible pleased with the final bill. read more

Cozy bistro with superb service and excellent dishes. I love the personable atmosphere and divine wines. Highly recommended.

Loved the service, outstanding. Food was 4.8/5; sturgeon, duck, green salad and orange cake were the standouts. Gnocchi and pork were very good as well but second place, cheese appetizer was OK but I wouldn't order again. Blue room was a bit loud for me I had trouble hearing our waiter. Loved using the inKind gift cards for a discount from Costco. Overall I would highly recommend, get the sturgeon even if fish isn't your thing, it's worth it. Parking was easy, small but cozy atmosphere read more
