The burger and fries showed up looking like an advertisement in a magazine. This first photo shows at halfway devoured.
John K.

We had a nice Saturday afternoon stop here with amazing food a decent beer selection of 20 beers on tap and good friendly attentive service. Breakfast was still being served at 1 pm which was amazing. We have only come here four or five times but the food and service has been consistently good each time .

Yellow curry chicken salad sandwich
Diana H.

Love the menu here at NEPO 42! So many yummy items to choose from it makes you want to return to try them all. Our dog, Nova, loves the large outdoor patio seating to meet other pups and NEPO 42 provides water bowls for furry friends! Back to the food a must try are the zucchini cakes... like veggie crab cakes, but better. Absolutely delicious with a dill and lemon aioli. I had the chicken salad sandwich that was actually a yellow curry chicken salad with grapes and raisins, oh it was so light, fresh and freaking good! And their fries!! Crispy, perfect fries, pillow soft in the center with ranch to dip! Heaven! Husband had the Salmon dish and he loved it, and daughter had the Cuban that was huge! We are definitely going to be returning to go through the rest of the menu!

6 Wings - Chicken wings, buffalo sauce.
Andilee J.

Love this place! Great lunch, happy hour, and dinner spot. The food is amazing and the cocktails are even better! Great beer selection as well. Service is impeccable. I recommend the barnyard fries, chicken wings and the el diablo cocktail. Local Portland vibes, quiet inside and lots of outdoor seating if the weather is good. Covered outdoor area if it's raining.

No parking lot , clean place, quiet, warm food, warm greetings and great service. They have outside seating for customers with pets and those who likes to be in the sun.

Chicken club sandwich and fries.
Jeff K.

The food was great. I had a chicken club sandwich (see photo) and garlic fries. Both came out hot and fresh. The parking is not fun. Hard to find a spot on the street.

Overcooked Rueben sandwich.
Troy H.

The wings were okay, pretty salty, maybe rinse the brine before cooking, The fries were good but the Rueben was way over cooked and the meat had no flavor. I do appreciate the wait staff taking 50% off the sandwich due to the poor quality. Had a few beers that were not that great but that's my fault for not checking untapped first.

Hummus Plate
Constantine J.

We just moved into the neighborhood and have been dying to check this place out. It came highly recommended by our neighbors. A short walk from out place! It has a wonderful outdoor patio that we are looking forward to using once we get warmer weather!! Hummus plate for appetizer was really good. Ruben, Wrap and Bowl were also very good and rich with bold flavors. Unfortunately service was very unpleasant. It seemed like our waitress was the only one working and didn't really want to be there... gave off a pretty negative vibe... Looking forward to trying it again for a better experience!

Came here for a Saturday brunch. No parking lot so use street parking. They have a great outside set up. They have a full bar and plenty of brews on draft. I ordered the chicken and waffle. It came with two chicken breasts and a giant waffle with bacon. Everything tasted great.

Are there Vegan options?

They are progressive, have a full Menu and the Chef cares...so i would not hesitate to ask for a modification or substitution. Cozy place, too!

Wow! Been sleeping on this place. Everyone that worked there was a delight and seemed to work…read moreeffortlessly together. Special shout out to the kitchen staff for big multitasking energy: watching the game, closing out the place, and firing out some amazing food. Wilder's near-close happy hour offerings were both tasty and generous. Cocktails featured offerings from local distillers that yielded complex flavors but nothing that was "trying too hard" to be artisanal. Also Made my date's night that they were using polenta as a bun.

Fiance and I decided to celebrate our 8 year anniversary at Wilder because we saw Steak Tartare on…read moretheir menu and knew we had to come try it! We walked in at about 6:30pm on a Wednesday night and was kind of greeted by one of the servers. She wasn't too friendly and seemed to be irritated that we said we'd wait for a table as opposed to sitting at the bar. Once seated, that same server came over to try to take our orders and once again seemed irritated that we weren't ready to order. Luckily, another server took over from there and we had a pleasant anniversary meal the rest of the time! Here's everything we tried: Devilish Eggs - This came with 4 deviled eggs and was just okay. The crispy bacon pieces was the best part of this dish! Steak Tartare - This was the main reason we chose this restaurant and we were definitely not disappointed! We spent our first anniversary together in Europe and had so much tartare and this really brought back some wonderful memories for us. The tartare was rich and mustardy, beef flavor was great, and it sort of just melted in your mouth. The crispy chips paired well with the tartare and I can't wait to come back and have this again! Mussels - This was a big bowl of mussels in a white wine garlic sauce with toasted baguettes. Mussels tasted fresh and garlicky with just a bit of funk from whatever cheese they grated on top. The toasted baguettes were so good dipped into that white wine broth. I wish this dish came with skinny fries but it was also so good as is. Would definitely order this again! Field Greens - I asked for this to come out with my meal but it came out about 10 minutes before the entrees came out. It was very light and refreshing. I saved half to have with my meal but most of it was wilted already by the time our mains came out. But it's okay! The fried chicken actually had a small portion of this salad on its plate. I wouldn't have ordered this had I known, so next time will skip the side salad altogether! Fried chicken - I really wanted to like this dish but alas, fried chicken breast is very hard to make juicy. I definitely prefer dark meat because that's harder to mess up. My partner enjoyed it but he doesn't mind dry chicken. The sauces were phenomenal! That mustard sauce was great and the sweet glaze was delicious! The potatoes would have been a lot better if they were smaller to get more of that crust to creamy potato ratio but still okay the way it was. My fiance cleaned this plate up! Brown Butter Cake - This cake was phenomenal! It's hard to mess anything with Brown Butter up so I had really high expectations for this and they certainly did not disappoint. The server was nice enough to throw candles on it since we were celebrating and it really ended our meal on the sweetest note! The restaurant itself is small and cozy. A bit dark and romantic. It really reminded me of the small bistros in France that we frequented while we were out there. We'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu!

Confessional time: yep, I'm old…read more I'm right on the cusp of the Millennials and Gen X. And you will pry my hoppy IPA from my cold, dead, but very happy hands. I have to admit I was a teeny bit worried when I saw Great Notion's hazy/tart-forward taplist yesterday. But The Soughten--a collab with Breakside, dry hopped with (per the website) "Citra, Amarillo, and Chinook hops along with Euphorics"--was SO SO SO GOOD. One of the driest IPAs I've had in years, and just delicious! Really unique. Instead of a punch-you-in-the-face hops (which I also like), this one had a super complex flavor. As for Great Notion itself, this location is just lovely. Airy, with dangling plants and assorted vintage/antique light fixtures. You order your Matt's BBQ Tacos from a computer kiosk, and then order your drinks from the bar. As always Matt's "The G.O.A.T." taco is the thing to order--yumm. We'll be back.

Happy hour does not leave you THAT happy. Couple bucks off. Mixed drinks are fine. Staff is pleasant for the most part. Seattle frost really is PNW frost if you ask me. I also had breakfast there and had a granola and yogurt. Fine. Stayed in a king in the school wing. 101. No ghosts (perceived by me). It smelled like it though. It's an old building. It was mostly clean although there were food crumbs all around my desk. Gross. See pic. Room was huge with beautiful windows. Loved the headboard with the cow. Overall was quiet. Slept fine. I enjoyed the free coffee at the front desk using the coffee mug provided. Cool. The whole building is great. The kitschy art is fine. I much preferred the photographic history. Overall, just the smell and dirt and bad food made it challenging. I was glad to go nevertheless. Completing my passport!

We were having such a great evening, we decided to get a drink but were clueless as to where. We decided to walk down the street and find a spot which turned out to be Binks. We grabbed a table and immediately were amused by the diverse cast of characters who were throughout the inside and outside spaces, including playing a game of pool. Everyone seemed to kinda know each other which was already a different dynamic since everyone bar I have been in is smaller groups of people who are there together and separate. The music... every song was fantastic... New Order, Men Without Hats, The Cure, Berlin, The Sugarhill Gang... come on, so good - impromptu dancing and people with really great energy. I was on the fence about getting a pizza when a random guy had JUST grabbed a pizza at the counter right there... he put it in front of me and my friend saying to have it since they messed up and added olives. It was is pineapple and olive... I actually hate olives... but my friend loves them and hates pineapple! So she ate the olives and I ate the pizza. It was actually quite delicious - even better as it was free! By the end of the night, we were friends with the whole bar and everyone joined in for an impromptu sing along (thx Wayne's World) to Queen's Bohemian Rapsody. It was amazing and again, on a Monday night.
