We would have stayed longer to enjoy the live music, but the Cava ran out and the other bubbles weren't a fit. We noticed a food truck and outdoor seating and will try our luck again when I return to town. Fairly priced IMHO. (Sorry, the only pictures I captured were of my compatriots and I wouldn't do that to you, LOL.)

This is one of my favorite spots when I visit Eugene! We spend 10 days in Eugene recently and…read moreprobably visited 4 times! It is an awesome wine store and a great wine bar. The menu is simple but I have never had a bad bite! The wines by the glass are always solid. You can also pick out any bottle in the adjacent store and drink it for just a $10 corkage. Becca, the owner, is super knowledgeable about all things wine, bubbles and vermouth, If you ask her to help you pick out a wine, she will find you gems. She helped us get the perfect wines to celebrate our daughters's law school graduation.

I'll definitely visit again.

The salon arrived dry and with hardly any vegetables. My partner chose to stop drinking water as one of the waitstaff made him uncomfortable.

A nearby chain would have been a better choice.

OMG!! My new favorite restaurant in Eugene!!! Did not have any high expectations, I just wanted a…read morenice glass of wine and raw oysters. Of course, had my Yelp app handy and it found Bar Purlieu for me. I got there right at 4pm when they opened since it was a Friday night, 4th of July weekend so did not know if I was going to get a big crowd since I had no reservations. I ordered the following: House Chianti (excellent)!! regret that I did not take a picture of the bottle ($14) Bone Marrow Appetizer: melt in your mouth delicious ($19) Filet Mignon: delicious, it had a morel mushroom sauce and it was absolutely divine. I got it medium rare and it was perfect ($50) 6 Oyster's: very meaty and you need to ask for fresh horseradish and tabasco sauce. They only have 1 small bottle of tabasco sauce for the whole restaurant and they serve raw oysters... what??? that is insane!!! ($4.50 PER OYSTER-that is insane too but they were nice an meaty). I will definitely be back!!!! Will bring my own Costco size Tabasco sauce

Menu is balanced with a rich variety of local veggies (salads/vegetarian), meat, seafood, and a 4/5/6 course Chef's tasting menu (+ optional wine pairings). EXTRA crisp POMMES FRITES with warm & savory garlic aioli (like Freedom Fries from Macdo in France, upgraded!), paired with a black garlic-seasoned fresh-from-the-farm KNEE DEEP TARTARE atop aioli (little heavy, upside-down) & crisp brioche with crunchy fried shallots sprinkled on top - a fresh & slightly funky take on the the original. Claire had me at "dessert menu," and this PISTACHIO BUTTER PIE has a green moussey pistachio butter that's smooth but nutty between a chocolate-spiced graham crust & top layer of chocolate ganache, pistachios & flake salt. Could I get my triglycerides checked with that?!

Really great fresh food with some interesting combinations. We came here on a whim (no…read morereservations) while visiting my wife's niece at UofO at around noon on a Saturday. Busy but they had a table for us. Very nice decor, rotating menu. We had the buckwheat pancakes with caramelized bananas, dates, and pineapple syrup which was sweet but not overly so since the pancakes underneath were not touched by the syrup ended up being a really nice balance. Bacon was like a cross between pork belly and bacon (very thick) but really tasty. Breakfast Sando was good with in-house ground pork and a nice aioli. We also tried the savory macarons (Brie and truffle) which are delicious. Creamy and a tad sweet. Not too much truffle. Coffee was a bright tangy pour over-not my favorite type but some people really like that style. Oh, and we had a blood orange mimosa which was really good Overall an excellent experience! Definitely going to again when we are in town!

I had their kabocha squash salad ($11) along with a roasted salmon onigiri and a lamb curry onigiri ($7 apiece). The salad was a hit and caught me by surprise. It used pureed squash which worked really well with the crunchy pepitas and greens. It was very flavorful and balanced. The salmon onigiri was also very good, but perhaps overshadowed by the star of the show -- the lamb curry onigiri. It was love at first bite, with the powerful savory flavors taking me for a ride and some heat that had me craving the next one. Honestly it is worth the trip just to have one (or five) of these. I got to speak to the chef about how he makes them, and it was obvious that there is a lot of thought and passion given to this food. It's a very nice space and there was good music playing. Food is served until close (currently 10pm) If I could give one suggestion, I would say to dim the lights a bit at night. Overall I am excited to return and work through the entire menu.
