    Almond cookie
    Wendy C.

    Will definitely be ordering again. I ordered half a chicken, potato wedges, and almond cookie. Everything was great. Def recommend the bone broth and garlic aioli as sauces. Wasn't a fan of their salad and other sauces the previous times I ordered. Today's order was perfect for me. As for dessert, this was my first time ordering the cookie and I'm so glad I caved. I believe there were whole almonds in the cookie. I love the idea of getting extra protein in dessert. Delish!

    Whole chicken
    Jennifer P.

    Stopped in for a late lunch and grabbed a whole chicken, a large order of potato bravas and rotisserie cauliflower. It was all delicious! The chicken comes broken down for easy sharing. It was very moist and had a great flavor. The potato. Wedges were crispy and had a nice spice level. The cauliflower was amazing! It's served with fried escabeche, chili oil and green goddess. If you like fried cauliflower you've got to give this a try. Besides the green goddess we also tried their fermented hot sauce and a garlic mayo aioli - both great and all 3 sauces went well with everything. They've got limited indoor seating and outdoor seating. We've already decided to make this restaurant part of our regular rotation.

    Half Bird and fries with sauces
    Ph G.

    This place has the best roast chicken in town. We were thinking about getting the winer winer chicken dinner or half bird, and our eyes were bigger than the stomach so we ordered half chicken and big fries for our dinner, so we could have leftover chicken for later. We ordered the food at the counter and then cashier gave us a number to put on our table. It was mouth watering chicken I enjoyed eating with friends. We loved this place with light music playing.

    Delicious! We ordered sandwiches for lunch and it does not disappoint. Everything was made in perfection. Not overcooked or overdone. The fried chicken crust/breading had a great flavor. Great service. Lots of seating inside.

    Rotisserie Cauliflower (and carrots that don't belong)
    K. D.

    Update! The owner, Sarah, reached out to me and explained the variance in the cauliflower dish I received. It looks like at some point the recipe did change, but the cauliflower still can be made without the carrots, onion and peppers by request. Glad to be able to return here soon!

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

    I rarely order chicken when I go out to eat but this is some of the tastiest, most tender chicken I've had. The radicchio salad was amazing and could be a meal on its own. I went with the salad + chicken combo - balanced and filling. The service was excellent and friendly.

    Chicken!
    Sarah L.

    We were in Portland for a short time and trying a bunch of places, so all I ordered was a small box of chicken. It was great! Yummy roasted chicken breast, straight up. If you just have a chicken craving for sure they can satisfy it.

    The chicken is tremendous! A "go to" for delivery when we don't want to go out. The broccoli as a side dish is unfailingly good.

    Has anyone ever had take out from here? I have eaten here but wondering how well the salad holds up or if the dressing is packed on the side so it doesn't get soggy.

    Take out from here is great! Radicchio holds up well with the dressing. But you can always get it on the side as well.

When we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome by bringing my guest a drink on the house for their retirement celebration. I knew the menu but tried some new things! We shared everything. My favorite item I have to order each time is the Tuna Tartar. Its favors are rich but delicate. The presentation is perfect and my guest was impressed. I got the dumplings for her but if I had to skip something I'd do those. They were good but compared to all the other items we had, they were lacking. The only thing not pictured is our wagu braised with sweet potato. That was phenomenal. It pulled apart and melted in your mouth with every bite. We ended with two very different deserts, the strawberry mochi and whipped crem brûlée type desert. Both were tasty. Price range for all plus three alcoholic drinks was $165 not including tip. We were full and happy. Great service as always and it was full, busy house tonight inside the place. I wouldn't change anything other than trying some new things next time to add!

    To speak about Teardrop Lounge, I should probably start with this:…read more Ladies and gentlemen, I present my favorite cocktail bar. Not the best -- I'm not arrogant enough to claim that. I haven't been to every cocktail bar in Portland, and saying something is the best usually says more about your lack of experience than your conviction. But favorite? That I can stand behind. And I want to get that out of the way early, because of the amount of praise I'm about to pour on this place -- fully earned, completely intentional. The biggest crime here is that I only discovered it two weeks ago, after living in Portland for a year. It had been recommended to me countless times, and I ignored it. A mistake. A painful one. But now that I've found it, I don't plan on making that mistake again. I'm not typically an Old Fashioned drinker. In fact, I usually hate them. But somewhere between curiosity and too many episodes of Mad Men, I decided to try one anyway -- fully expecting to confirm my bias. Instead, it completely flipped me. Bright, almost citrus-forward in a way that felt unusual but entirely intentional. Balanced, smooth, just enough burn to remind you what you're drinking without overwhelming it. It was the first time I actually understood the appeal. I'm pretty sure I grew a few chest hairs that night. That alone would've been impressive. But it didn't stop there. The space is beautiful -- clean, intentional, but not cold. The staff are excellent: personable, engaged, and most importantly, authentic. Not scripted, not performative. The kind of people you actually want to talk to, and hopefully, eventually be on a first-name basis with. Now, all of that gets it close to a perfect score. But what pushes it over the edge -- what makes this place stick -- is the White Russian. One of the first drinks I ever had. My dad's drink. Not because of The Big Lebowski -- that came later -- but because it's just always been his thing. And at some point, it became mine too. Typically, when bars try to "elevate" a White Russian, they ruin it. They overthink it. Swap ingredients, tweak ratios, add unnecessary flair. And more often than not, it ends in disappointment. Teardrop does the opposite. They respect it -- but refine it. The coffee liqueur actually tastes like coffee. The heavy cream is properly integrated, not just dumped on top. The vodka -- whatever they're using -- is clean, present, and perfectly measured. There's a subtle complexity to it without losing what makes the drink what it is. It's the best White Russian I've ever had. No hesitation. I've gone back twice just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. If someone asked me what my death row drink would be -- this specific cocktail, from this specific bar, is in the conversation. Easily. Teardrop Lounge doesn't just make great cocktails. It reminds you why cocktails matter in the first place. And that's why it's my favorite.

    We came to Teardrop Cocktail Lounge while visiting Portland and were genuinely impressed…read more The cocktails were excellent -- thoughtful, well-balanced, and clearly made by people who know what they're doing. One of the best parts was how approachable the bartenders were. We asked for custom drinks based on our preferences, and both came out perfectly tailored. Creative without being weird, and strong without being sloppy. What really stood out was the price point. For the quality of cocktails, the prices felt very reasonable compared to similar craft cocktail bars in other cities. The vibe was also great -- relaxed, cozy, and not pretentious. It felt like a place where you could come for a special drink experience without feeling like you had to "perform" or order off a rigid menu. We liked it so much we actually came back a second time during our trip. Highly recommend if you're into well-crafted cocktails, friendly bartenders, and a laid-back but elevated atmosphere.

It's a super cute date night spot & there's tons to do around the area while you wait! The white curry was my favorite dish out of all three, which is super surprising because I'm not typically big on soup. The fried rice was perfect also. The papaya salad i will say is on the spicier side (I can handle my spice pretty well). Eating it with bites of white rice was helpful!

Yellow rice is tasty but expensive for $6 for a small bowl, however is still a must have side w/ kebab. The grilled octopus was also soft w/ nice char and served on a bed of some fresh chickpea/yogurt/herbs succotash. The lamb shank served on a bed of baba ganoush was very rich & tender tho it was definitely not a full shank if that's what you're expecting, it's just a little bit of the deboned meat.
