We are typically brunch people, making it here most often on a Saturday or Sunday for a late brunch. Their benedicts are to die for... truly, they're all wonderful. Their Laser Potato is out of this world. Truly, my favorite item on their menu. It is fabulous in all ways. I often take a side of it home just to enjoy later. We recently tried them for dinner. Their muscles are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truly, the best I've ever had. This beats living in the southeast on the coast, any west-coast seafood restaurant, and every place I've ever enjoyed in Italy. They've certainly topped the muscle game. Highly recommend Olympic Provisions. I will gladly vouch that the negative reviews are from the haters, just to hate. The overall experience has never been anything less than fantastic. Photos to follow (hopefully, if I can find them! HA!) Enjoy OP next time you're in PDX!

On this visit, Kevin was taking chill care of the atrium, delivering BRIGHT, BEEFY, FRESH Hierloom Tomatoes with Burrata & crisp Focaccia breadcrumb that is SO RICH - no saucisson required! HOWEVER... if you decide to dabble, the infamous CHARCUTERIE ART should include the Green Peppercorn Paté - everything beloved about a mild sausage, more tender, seasoned to herbal perfection with split peppercorns & a sprinkle of flake salt - the meat medley is heavenly with a toasted crostini + Triple Cream Brie, cranberry/raisin chutney on top.

Changing seasonal menus means it's never the same thing twice (except the steam burgers, which are a beloved institution of their own, and I hope they stay on the menu forever). The best thing about Canard, besides the food and service, is how accessible it is. You don't have to be well educated about wine to benefit from their excellent collection. Those who might find finer-dining items intimidating will also find familiar favorites on the menu. Even my teenager, who can be wary of trying new things, was persuaded by beautiful presentation to give every dish a chance (spoiler: she liked everything she ate!). Just the best place, worth every penny.

I did a walk in around 6pm on a weekday and there were plenty of seats at the counter where you can watch them cook. The foie gras is delicious but not a must do for the pancakes. I think it works better with the duck frites. I think the duck was good but I just had one bite so can't remember. The fries were good though. Foie gras dumplings were also memorable but I don't necessarily need to get it again. The arugula salad was refreshing although I'd ask to have it accompany the duck stacks next time to have a refreshing side. I love fish so I expected to love the chicken fried trout but it was just alright compared to the other dishes. The Paris brest was excellent. Personally, a little too much passionfruit tartness for me but loved the milk crumbles. Heartless Rita mocktail tasted too much like juice for me.

We were genuinely excited and looking forward to a special evening. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short, especially given the price point and strong Yelp rating. The oxtail croquettes arrived cold, which was surprising for a fried item and set a disappointing tone early. The biggest issue was the hamachi crudo. It had a strong fishy smell with clear hints of ammonia and tasted far from fresh, bordering on spoiled. There was a lingering aftertaste that unfortunately affected everyone's palate for the rest of the meal. We sent it back due to quality concerns. My family and I grew up eating liver and mousse from our own family recipes and from many different culinary traditions. The chicken liver mousse here was creamy in texture but lacked depth and subtle sweetness, and tasted overly mineralized. It was the first chicken liver mousse I have ever not finished. The crab beignets were acceptable, though they could have used more crab. The accompanying sauce was well executed. The miso deviled eggs were tasty, and the anchovy add-on worked nicely. The Parisienne gnocchi, at $40, was not memorable and leaned heavily salty. Steak frites were standard, a dish that is generally hard to fumble. Unfortunately drinks. The shift in service after we sent back the hamachi was obviously uncomfortable and noticeable. The energy dramatically changed. There was little interest in engaging with our feedback. For a meal that totaled over $200, we left disappointed and still hungry. Portland offers many stronger dining options at this price point that deliver both quality and hospitality. Disappointing feels like an understatement. I am genuinely puzzled by the high rating based on the food quality and service we experienced. We will not be returning, nor would I recommend it based on this visit.

Reservation confirmation said, that door opens at 6:30pm and dinner service starts at 7pm. Phew, I'm sometimes bad with predicting the traffic patterns, so that gives you a little cushion. AND I arrived at 6:30pm on the dot. Ha! Plenty of street parking, but I wasn't sure I was in the right place since there was no sign. But, the building's number is clearly marked. So I stepped inside. There was music playing from the back of the building and I just kept moving towards the music. After 2 doorways, my husband remarked it was like we were entering a speakeasy. We stepped into a living room and proceeded through another doorway to find an open kitchen and jaw dropping red alder dining table. Standing in the kitchen was Chef Riley Eckersley and he greeted us like we were old friends. He had a couple of cocktails ready to pour and explained his concept of his place that has only been open for 3 weeks. Imagine an intimate dinner party (6 guests the night I was there) gathering for conversation while being taken on a culinary journey around Oregon. Throughout the evening, every detail was carefully curated, from the ingredients (from the coast to the mountains, he covered every corner), to the plating, music, and drinks (everything from mezcal, sake, orange wine, etc). The whole experience lasts 2 1/2-3 hours and I enjoyed every minute. I will certainly return as the menu changes with the seasons of Oregon. We began the evening as strangers, and ended as close friends.

Not even 1 minute later someone else who wasn't the host told us were in the wrong seats and asked us to move. This was weird and the first it has happened and the funny thing was that the seats were right next to the ones we were in but lower to the floor and less sight of the kitchen. While we obliged, it set up the dinner in an uncomfortable way. Our server was busy and was rushing us to get our drink order and said she would come back to get our food order. Once we ordered our food, I ordered the Hawaiian Opah and my colleague ordered the bacon wrapped dates and mushroom salad, we didn't hear or see from our server too often and at one point I had to hail her down to order a drink which took so long I ended to cancelling. The person who I assumed was the manager, came toward the end and said I didn't realize you were waiting and offered two cookies -- while I appreciated the gesture there were only 2 small ones and in some ways I would've been okay without it. The reason I am giving 2 stars is because the chef was very engaging and the food was tasty. Needles to say, because of the service, I definitely do not plan to return and would highly recommend you reconsider if you plan to go.

Feel like they are underselling it when they say it's 4 courses. They bring you more than 4 plates to get a taste of a variety of their standard menu. We were started with a small selection of snacks (olives, nuts, bread/butter) followed by a trio of starters (shrimp fritter, burrata, melons), pasta with a salad, main, and dessert. Pretty much from the menu, all the items on left side and top of the middle section and 1 of each from the middle and main section. The only thing we didn't get were the items on the right which they let us know ahead of time. Also they were cool with my hub not eating seafood which can be a challenge for us with any set menu. - Wines: stellar! Every one we got was fantastic. And being big wine drinkers often we find selections just ok. Pairings were just the right amount and lovely. - Spaghetti: one of the most amazing pasta dishes I've had. There's something about the meld of flavors with the dashi browned butter, heaps of parmesan, shaved truffle, mushrooms, and delicate pasta that came together so perfectly. Sounds simple but was incredible. My way more picky than I am hub put this dish on his last supper meal. He's not even a mushroom guy! 5 stars - Little gem salad: I'm not a dressing fan but the tahini was delightful. The freshness of the crispy leaves with that sesame flavor did something for me. 4.75 stars - Lamb shoulder: tender and not gamey at all which is sometimes my fear with lamb. The sleeper star here for me was the zucchini though. Not sure what made it so extraordinary, but they were. Also the grits gave it a southerny homey feel and the dukkah a nice crunch and spice. 4.75 stars - Shrimp fritter: nice fried ball with shrimp and corn and not too greasy. 4 stars - Buttermilk ice cream with bits of biscuit and fruit: nice dessert to end on and loved the mint. They also gave us some chocolate ice cream for our anniversary which I loved. 4 stars - Burrata: standard and lovely with some peaches and nectarines with twist of Thai basil. 3.5 stars - Melon: whipped avocado was fun with the honeydew and cantaloupe and nuoc cham gave it a bit of a sour kick. 3.5 stars - Counter: fun seeing the dishes prepared. They also have standard tables and even a parklet outside. - Vibes: very comfortable without any pretentiousness which is my fave kind of fine dining - Staff: everyone seemed to enjoy working there. Mags was friendly and helpful with the menu and checked in on us along the way. Midlights: - Olives: smoked Spanish with fennel pollen was too strong of a flavor for me. 3 stars Lowlights: - A few courses we were served but had to wait for a our wine pairings. Not too long, but it's nice to have it ready to go either right before or at the same time to enjoy them together.

So we went to town on ordering a few things: Half a dozen of oysters-super fresh, small and briny served on salt plate. They included a house made hot sauce that tasted super fruity. Scale of 1 out of 10. Foie gras torchon -classic flavors. Strawberry, rhubard, balsamic. Foie Served on toasted challah and we opted for the black truffle. This dish was a total disappointment tho. The foie is not buttery and the truffle tasted thin and had 0 flavor. I think we would've been happier with a dozen oysters. Iberico pork for 2. This was enough for 3 of us. The majo sausage and spatzel were excellent as was the pork. Think of thick cut pork chop and it tasted just like it. We had one piece dryer than the other but they were cooked closer to medium. This was the best dish of the night. At $79 I would certainly hope so. We ended the night with some house ice cream and the again, these guys understand classic flavors. Service here was terrific.

We did end up sending it back (which i hate doing) and got it redone adding another 10isj minutes of waiting on top of our already pretty long wait (but again it was busy so we didnt rlly care much for the wait) but i did get full off of the sides by the time the redo came out The redo definitely tasted alot better, it didnt taste burnt which was good but in general didnt really have much flavor. I will say the potatoes were good, bell peppers were okay, unfortunately nothing was great....we ended up spending around ~$210 for two people for a meal that really did not satisfy either of us, we'll maybe give it another try on a less busy day but it was rough considering this was also our anniversary dinner
