First time here tonight. The restaurant is in what looks like an old church. Very nice place to have dinner. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and offers live music on some nights. I had the Fathers linguine, which were delicious. Very well made and balanced pasta dish with artichoke, mushrooms and garlic. I came with a house made bread fresh out of the oven, baked in a little flower pot. Ingenious! My girlfriend had the philly cheese steak. The deliciously crafted sandwich classic was well made and she enjoyed it a lot. It was served with a garlic herb au jus and chips. The au jus was really good. The chips were fried too long. The service was exceptional. Courteous, friendly and patient. Overall a very nice experience. We will definitely back for seconds. read more

i'm so glad we went here! this place used to be a church, but now it's a restaurant. the menu had a ton of different options and everything looked delicious! everyone at our table (even the picky eaters!) were satisfied with their meals. I think the menu accurately describes the meals, and the wait time. we ordered a few drinks and they were strong, as they stated. our server and other servers we interacted with were all great, friendly, lively and helpful! would love to come back again, soon! it was definitely an experience to say the least! read more

Gluten free friends GET HERE. You need Spinella's in your life. Also, anyone else that love good food. The staff was very, very friendly and attentive. Treat yourself to Shrimply Irresistible . It was so good my non-gluten free boyfriend kept stealing bites. The lemon/blueberry panna cotta? Heaven. Make the drive, spend the money. read more

Very nice place for drinks and dinner. The live music wasn't too loud so we could still have table conversations and also the music in the background. Even though they warn food could take 45 minutes, my guess was maybe 20-25 minutes. Maybe because it was Sunday and not quite as busy??? We will be back for sure. read more

Always a lovely time at Spinellas. Service is top notch & friendly. Cocktails are our favorite part. One of our go to places in downtown Gresham. read more

Not sure where the verbose and negative review below comes from, but she is certainly in the minority. Food is great, atmosphere is terrific, music is awesome, and the service is wonderful. This is a much needed music venue in east county, with some great regular talent. Speciality food is awesome. Chefs are talented and the food is not only good, but reasonably priced. Michael's wit is sharp and sophisticated. Appreciating it requires a sophisticated mind. Keep up the great work. read more

Excellent food! They have a large menu with quite a nice variety to choose from! Give it a try--you won't regret it!

Amazing live music, food was incredible. Twice fried Brussels sprouts are the best I've ever had. Mozzarella sticks, not greasy, smooth hog-quality cheese. Even the ranch that came with it was delicious. The menu is written with witty innuendos...this place is relaxed, clever, and high quality. The staff here is friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be returning, read more

When I lived in Oregon I frequented Spinella's on many occasions. It has a warm inviting atmosphere and a number of different events on a regular basis. I no longer live in the area, but traveled back a few months ago specifically for Grease Sing Along night. Also, Michael will always wear a t'shirt with a witty and irreverent saying that is good for a laugh. As for the food, the chef loves to experiment and is really good at it. The menu has items such as Invoke the Artichoke and Appease the Cheese, and drinks like Blueberry Boy Bait, I had to try it way more than once. The menu will satisfy any families eclectic palate. read more

I'm not sure what to think of this place. It was a bit expensive for the quality of food. My family and I dined in around 3:30 PM, they had no servers. Inside the restaurant seemed a bit dirty, dusty, wouldn't hurt to do a deep clean. Food was okay, we ordered Spinach dip, chicken parmigiana, and a burger. I will not be coming back. read more

Service was deplorable. We waited over one and a half hours to get our food. I flagged the waiter to get a refill on drinks while we waited. He never checked on us, told us timing, or even checked after food was served. Food would have been great if served when prepared. It was obviously under the warmer too long. read more

Went there tonight. Jazz from MHCC student groups. Great music. This is what jazz is supposed to be. Young people and older people learning their craft and entertaining an audience at the same time. It was great! Thank you, Spinella's for bringing this kind of entertainment to us, the residents of East county! read more

This is a pretty cool place. Just aesthetically, there's a lot going on! Old church, tons of different paintings (probably from various paint night events) on the wall, interesting decor, live music... Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. As far as food goes, the mac n cheese is great!! Good size portions and great flavor. The menu is ginormous, so you have a lot to choose from if mac n cheese isn't your thing. The only negative is that some of the dishes seemed slightly overpriced, in my opinion. Not enough to stop me from returning in the future, but probably only on limited occasions or just for happy hour. read more

Interesting setting in an old church - limited outdoor seating, but the chef said they do plan on adding on a bigger deck. Friendly chef and staff and we both enjoyed our dinners. Boyfriend had chicken parm and I had a burger with salad on the side since we shared an order of truffle fries. You can tell it's run by chefs/cooks as the front of house is a bit disorderly and the menu is laid out in an odd fashion, but the food is good and the setting unique. Live music there too and a bar. read more

I was not as impressed as some of the other reviewers. We ordered the asiago mac and cheese with sicilians sausage, coconut shrimp and a hunger relief salad. For the quality of the meal, it was on the spendy side. Not a lot of flavor to the mac and cheese, but the sausage was good. The coconut shrimp was average and the salad, while good size, wasn't memorable either. It is a nice restaurant with interesting architecture but parking is limited. read more

Awesome food great atmosphere and the people are great. The Mac and cheese is to die for and French frys are my new favorite craving. Karaoke is a blast !!!!! Chef Ron rocks also !!!!!!!!! read more

Order the Brie-Leiver and it had NO brie flavor whatsoever, just tasted like noodles, flour sauce and shrimp, VERY DISGUSTING. My wife ordered the Grand Asagio Mac with sausage but didn't get the sausage. WONT BE ORDERING OR GOING HERE AGAIN! read more

Got to the restaurant at 6 pm and ordered drinks shorty after. After receiving drinks and ordering our food the server didn't come back around until 7:30 pm to say they were backed up. Offered us a free round of drinks. Different server came back at 8:05 pm and said it would be another 15 minutes until our food came out. We told them we would like our drink tabs so we could leave. Server gave us attitude because we wanted to leave after waiting 2 hours for burgers and pasta. Extremely disappointed and will never go back ever. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening, all of the outdoor seating had been reserved already as there was a live band playing. We came inside and were not greeted for about 5 minutes. Finally someone acknowledged us and said they would be right with us. After another 5 minutes or so we were seated. We were to told to order off the small "outdoor" menu as wait times would be rather long off their regular menu. Overall the menu had a pretty large selection and prices really varied by item. We really wanted the Bird Bird Down on their regular menu and ordered it anyway regardless of the wait. The server was really nice and said since that was all we were ordering that she would try to push it up to the front of the line. We also got a round of drinks for our table of 4. Upon receiving our food everything seemed very fresh! The homemade chips were a little lacking in quantity but overall everything was really good. The sandwich really melted in my mouth and the bread was super fresh. I would really like to come back and try some of their other menu items. I feel the service would have also been a little better if there wasn't a full house outside for the live music. read more

Wow unbelievably bad service ! Dinner for 2 waited over 1 hour 2o min ! Server was very absent just hanging around at the bar sometimes. Really really poorly staffed . Disappointing read more

I'd like to start off by saying I've never Yelp'd before but after coming here last night I felt I needed to say something about our experience. We were looking for a different place to go and having gone here once and not remembering our experience, thought we'd give it another try. We ordered a chicken Caesar and the Mac and Cheese Asiago. We waited almost an hour for those items! The chicken Caesar was okay. Not overly large. But the Mac and Cheese was horrible!!! I felt like I was eating Velveta and shells with toasted bread crumbs on top. Pricy too!! Would not recommend that ALL. If you want incredible Mac and Cheese go to Skyway bar and grill in Welches!!! Anyway horrible service and food...at least the Asiago Mac and Cheese!! read more

The first time I ate there I thought my french dip sandwich was great. Looking back though - it's hard for any restuarant to screw up on a sandwich. My husband and I went there again for our anniversary. The flower pot bread, though cleaver, tasted off, not like bread, maybe rancid butter. Our dinners were okay. My cesar salad was a bit over dressed especially with cheese. My pasta dish was okay, but needed salt. We noticed there was no salt n pepper shakers on any of the tables. The biggest pet peeve is they advertised like 5 different versions of a Moscow mule but when I asked for a straight up one they said it wouldn't be straight because they dont carry ginger beer! I took only a few sips of my drink and was gross, tasted nothing like a Moscow mule. The waiter politely said that he warned me it wouldnt taste right. Ended up paying for. We won't be going back. read more

Spinella's is my go-to for karaoke on Fridays, great musicians on Saturdays, and amazing food any day of the week! All the food is made from scratch with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the menu offerings are unique and delicious. And even the menu is entertaining! The names and descriptions of each item are so much fun to read, you'll want one of everything! read more

My husband and I love this place. The food is wonderful and the servers are very pleasant. I have seen a few reviews that are negative , I can not imagine why. The steamed clams are fantastic read more

Family owned and with some amazing food, this place is great to go hang out, catch some music on nights they have some, or get some yummy desserts. Just be patient: everything is made to order, so it might take a bit to get your food, but it's worth the wait. read more

What a great spot in Gresham. My wife and I went there for dinner and drinks on what turned out to be there 5 year anniversary. When you walk in you're able to just grab any seat or table you want some someone will be with you in just a minute or two. They were super busy but they never made us feel like they were. We ordered the flower pot and the spicy tots for appetizers and both were amazing. The sauce that they have for the tots is drinkably delicious . I ordered the house IPA and it was a tasty beverage my wife ordered some sort of mojito like drink and it was too sweet for me. For dinner we ordered the Bri-leiver which was awesome. And then topped the night off with pana-cota and the chocolate mousse. I was slightly disappointed with the pana-cota because it was slightly warm but the flavor profile more than made up for that because that was mind blowing. The chocolate mousse on the other hand fell very flat. The presentation was awesome but the overall taste just wasn't there and the texture was more like the cheap boxed stuff u can get at Walmart. Overall this is a great spot to grab some drinks and food and maybe catch either some karaoke or some live music. read more

WARNING!!!! Tonight we tried this place AGAIN! The last time we probably go here. The waitress came and asked if we "cashed out" and said "you guys got your food right"? We said ummm no. Oh ok. She finally admitted she didn't turn the ticket in. So in all we finally received our food two hours later and was comped two drinks. Update: it's been two hours since we got home and husband and I have been going to the bathroom non-stop.... read more

My wife and I decided to give Spinella's a try last night and were pleasantly surprised. The menu had quite a few items and it was hard to make a decision. She chose the chicken strips and I decided on the Reuben with spicy tots. Those tots were pretty much just like Cajun tots from McMenamins and their ranch dressing is much better. We were very happy and will, most definitely, be back. read more

We went to Spinella's for the first time this week. Loved the menu choices and the fun names of items. We took awhile to pick what we wanted since it all sounded yummy. I had the Asiago mac and cheese and my mom had Mommas marinara (minus the sausage). So tasty!!! We couldn't finish since the portions are big and they gave us cute little rolls backed in a pot (looked like ice cream). Only down side was that the mic on the stage for the live performer was so loud that we couldn't talk (we didn't know that live music was there during the week) and the a/c was blasting (we plan to wear layers next time). read more

Went here for Paint Nite. Pretty good venue for it. Perfectly friendly customer service. Food was good, but did not blow my mind. Next time I'm just going to order a big thing of fries because I ate my friend's fries and they were the bomb!!!! Wonderfully seasoned and crispy. read more

Love this place! The wait staff is always friendly and good really good. Their own beers on tap is a must-try!

Subpar food and service. We did enjoy the company that we were with, but the menu needs a little updating

Went here for the first time with a friend. The food was fine, but overpriced for the portion size and quality. We showed up on a night when they had an impromptu karaoke performance, seemed like a lot of locals. I would have liked it better if the experience matched the menu prices. Probably will try somewhere else next time. read more

This is going to be our second time here now and it's always a pleasure to walk through the doors and be greeted right away. The service is good and atmosphere is awesome. They have live music and also karaoke which ccan be fun. First time around I had the bell tower bacon burger and oh man let me say it was awesome. There's nothing like eating a great tasting burger that's not dry and just baths in its own juices of satisfaction . read more

Seriously, who doesn't have free wifi these days?? I had to go to the coffee shop down the street to work. Beautiful old church building in adorable little old downtown Gresham. Surprisingly amazing food! Some of the best food I've had in Gresham! Fantastic cider selection. Front of house staff apparently allergic to smiling, but friendly, and the chef is super friendly and talented. Love their Paint Nite events! I was early, but the server let me in anyway. I ordered coffee, and was charged $2.50 for a cup of last night's coffee, microwaved. Easy parking in lot, and when that was full, easy parking next to building. A bit of a leg and butt workout since you have to climb steps to get in, then climb more steps to get to the main area. And if you have to use the restroom, go down those steps, and then down some more steps into the lower level. read more

I personally will not recommend this place. Food was not that great and not worth the price. I found that that people seated after me were served drink and their meal before I did. When I tried to complain the waiter walk away. So not recommend read more
