You walk in to a cute dining area- mismatched tables and chairs that work together! Order at the counter, get your drinks and either sit in or outside at picnic tables. Then wait for some of the best bbq in Portland. The brisket is fork tender, the chicken tacos are smothered in great slaw and pickled onions, the bbq beans have large chunks of meat and the smoked slaw has just the right amount of dressing on it - not swimming in mayo like other places. Inhale your food while trying to keep your table mates away from yours! Like the tables and chairs all the food served in comes in very cute mismatched dishes. I'll be back to try the Mac & cheese (sold out), smoked pickles and the key lime pie.

We arrived in the rain, it is November in Portland. So the first thing I noticed while waiting In the line outside in the rain, was everyone was super nice and asked if I had attended before. When I said no, folks said I would not be disappointed. Additionally, there was a nice older gentlemen who independently (on Halloween) was walking down the line and offering candy. Thanks for the mini snickers bite! We had a group of 7 of us last evening as we discussed "would this be worth it" as we slowly inched our way to the cashier to place our order. It is important to note, however, that while waiting in line the butcher shop walked the line (often starting at the end which was super considerate) offering slices of grilled sausages and probably some of the best toasted bread I have had. We made it - and placed our order for two burgers and potato salad. While waiting we checked out the shop - and while small, it is cozy and I can see why their classes and dinners draw in folks. They also had wine, beer and other items for sale to drink as well as a lovely self of bottles of wine. The BURGER!!! OMG - Heck yes!!!! Did I mention at the beginning I will be waiting in line on the last Friday of every month. I believe it was a brioche roll, garlic aoli, pickles and chopped onion with the best fresh, grilled on a fire hamburger patty I have had. Oh - and I am a total food snob. I can say this - those were big burgers and two of the guys in our group went back and ordered a second burger to eat. My husband also then raided their freezer for meats for us to bring home and prep ourselves. One of those was a beautiful Tomahawk and I cannot wait to cook it to perfection. I promise I will "not F it up." While I don't want the lines to get longer, I cannot deny my role as a Yelp Elite is to proactively share great experiences for others. So I kindly do this although this is one that I would prefer to keep a secret. Next up - I am signing up for classes!!! It's been a while since my time in CA where I learned to butcher a pig and make sausage. I saw that Proletariat Butchery offer bacon making classes. SCORE!!!

Service was friendly and informative - attentive without hovering. It is an intimate space with an additional small number of tables on the sidewalk.

It was a special that evening, so I do not have a better description from the menu. My wife very much enjoyed their braised lamb entree, and I was delighted with the beef filet.

This place bills itself as the largest Asian store in... well, anywhere, and when I tell you it's…read morebig, it's big. I hope as they get more settled into the space that the seemingly random placement of some items gets resolved and that the large storage area that's visible but inaccessible from the shopping area becomes more "hidden" because my brain says to me, "I wonder what's over there" and then I want to go there. I always make sure I have lots of time to go up and down the aisles because one never knows what one will find that one must have because one needs it. That said, it's a fun place to shop and often if I can't find what I'm looking for at another Asian store, they'll probably have it here. Staff has always been friendly and helpful if I need to find something. The best deal going is the $5 banh mi & drink - go there for this if for no other reason.

Let me say I'm of two minds about Hong Phat:…read more As an Asian Supermarket (and I've shopped at plenty), it's a bit underwhelming in terms of organization and product selection. I expected a lot more diversity of products, in such an expansive space. I enjoy a lot of powdered drinks (Vietnamese Coffee, Thai Tea, etc). I've been to much, much smaller stores with a lot more selection from Asia... and they were completely out of Thai Basil when I went... low on cilantro, too. Plenty of Culantro, if I was willing to substitute. Their pricing is cheaper than H-Mart and some of the other Asian markets in the area. However, the true value here, which cannot be denied is the $5 Bahn Mi with iced Vietnamese coffee... Were I them, I would probably just run a value Bahn Mi shop, with lines back to Pioneer Station. So far, I've had the sausage /pork patty version and the Dac Biet. The pork patty is far superior to the Ham + Head Cheese version for my taste. It seems that most of the people in the area do NOT include pate on any of their sandwiches... I understand that is traditional, and in Orlando... pretty much ubiquitous. It makes little difference, as the value is excellent. The iced coffee is the star here... I noticed a bit of a mocha flavor when I had it the first time, but put it down to my lack of familiarity with Vietnamese coffee. The second time, I definitely tasted the addition of Hershey's Syrup. Absolutely worth a trip for lunch, and if you aren't looking a ton of variety, a pretty decent place for sauces and soup bases.

Love! Reminds me of Parisian Chocolatiers or chocolate boutiques in NYC but in a more inviting way, no pretentiousness. The aroma of chocolate warms your senses and once you taste a sample, you realize this store hits it in all points. Valentine's Day was approaching so the counter and tables in the entry were literally overflowing with pink and red foil wrapped hearts, lips, and kisses. Bowls filled with red, pink and white marshmallows, gummies, jelly beans and sours were everywhere. Chocolate covered marshmallows with pink and white hearts standing at attention. It was visually stunning and there was something for everyone! As I made my way around the shop, I marveled at the "themes" of other displays. One table had all things Paris: Chocolate Eiffel Towers, a variety of dark chocolate treats in cellophane bags, small Coco Chanel boxes to fill with goodies, chocolates wrapped in black and white foil with Coco Chanel logos (this is what my girlfriends received for Valentines Day along with champagne glasses filled with Prosecco flavored gummies). So creative! Under the window were candies wrapped in shades of light blue in white. While the youngsters think of "Frozen", I think of home since my house is all shades of white, cream, gray with blue accents. Having a bowl of candies on the coffee table that taste good and compliment my home speaks to me! In the back of the store there are shelves stocked with homemade bags of popcorn in various sizes - even ginormous 30oz bags that people were buying. Enchante is as well known for their popcorn as they are for their chocolates. Adjacent to this area were shelves filled with brightly colored candies and old school candy like dots on paper, pastel candy necklaces, and huge marshmallow swirl lollipops. oh, nostalgia! The chocolates I purchased were beautiful, delicious and at a reasonable price point. Winner! Two weeks later I came back for more Valentine treats and it was clear the merchandise moves! The shop looked vastly different in regards to inventory, meaning it's well stocked, but fresh. This day I purchased a few large dark chocolate hearts individually wrapped in clear cellophane with red satin bows to surprise other friends. The smiles that lit up their faces as I presented them with a Valentine said it all! For me, Valentine's Day isn't just for lovers. It's about spreading love and kindness in a world that desperately needs it; something we should do everyday. New designs, colors and wrappings welcome every season and holiday at Enchante. I'm already looking forward to the spring and Easter displays and can only imagine how gorgeous the shop must look during Christmas. It's a bit out of the way for me, but worth the drive from downtown. I'm now a regular!

I spent about $200 on a variety of things and can say that you should order out of the case, rather than buying a prepackaged assortment or items. The chocolates that I got from the case were fresh and delicious. The prepackaged items were disappointing. A particularly good example of this was the peanut brittle... The prepackaged bags were stale and sticky, just about pulled my teeth out. The chocolate covered peanut brittle in the case was crisp and had just the right slightly crumbly texture. Caramel corn was disappointing... again, seemed stale, and also desperately needed more salt. A chocolate dipped rice krispie treat was dry and hard to bite into. I purchased two boxes of chocolates priced at $37 apiece to give as gifts and after experiencing a couple of the prepackaged items I decided I had better test drive one of the boxes before giving them to somebody else and I'm glad I did... The chocolate had been sitting for a while in a display that got some sunlight/heat and had visible cocoa butter bloom on it, which is of course perfectly safe but aesthetically unappealing and gives the impression that the chocolate is old. Not what I want to give as a gift. I really want to patronize local businesses and I will be back, but I have learned my lesson and next time I will order specifically from the case. If I want an assortment I will have it custom-made for me.

I'm nearly done with my second year with this CSA and only have good things to say about 47th…read moreAvenue Farms. The price point is a little higher then some other CSAs but the bounty of high quality produce each week easily justifies the cost. This season I paid $540 for a half share; at 24 weeks (much longer then some CSAs!) it comes to $22.50/week. The return is around 10 different items per week. As an omnivore household of two, it is a lot of veggies to get through per week! This year the lettuces, cucumbers, and carrots have been remarkable. We've had some form of garlic and onion almost every week and have had beautiful dill, basil, and cilantro throughout the season. We are just now hunkering into juicy red tomatoes and sweet corn. 47th Avenue Farms has me covered on all my veg needs and makes it so my grocery store trips are quite minimal. The produce is fresh enough that nothing spoils within the week and , if I can't finish something one week, it is still good the next week too. At the weekly pick up, you bring in your own bags and pick out your share. Next to each item is a sign with the quantity you are supposed to take and you get to pick the stuff that looks good to you! Laura and her staff are around to chat with and they seem to do at least one farm party day each season. I appreciate the weekly recipe packet which is full of not only recipes, but also tidbits about how to prepare some of the less common veggies (I totally needed the help with the fava beans). The only thing this CSA is missing is the occasional fruit but with all of the farmers markets around Portland, I can still get what I need.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOOVE LOVELOVE LOVEEE LOOOVE! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOVE!!!…read more Was I supposed to say something else? Well, OK... I have a half share...this season it costs $540, so it's a bit of a chunk to come up with. But wowie zowie!!!! it is worth every penny. And this season, Laura worked out a payment plan with me, so that the cost is spread out over time. Veggie pick up is every week in the Summer, and every other week in the Winter. Here is how they do it: A long table is set up under an awning. both sides of the table are decked with the same selection of boxes. Each of those boxes contains its own particular delicacy. We bring our own bags, and load 'em up. The quantity we are to take is posted on each box, and it works on the honor system. (I have only cheated once, and only by a little...OH! fingerling potatoes, you made a cheat out of me!!) Can you say FRESH? I first realized how UN-fresh grocery store vegetables are by the shelf-life of Laura's vegetables. Tonight I made some kale that I got from a pick-up 2 weeks ago. It is still crisp, dark green and very yummy. Another thing? She offers veggies I would never buy in the store. So along with your normal staples like broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, etc, you also get...Rutabaga? Celeriac? WTF is this shit? I'll tell ya what it is: IT'S FUN! I love trying new veggies I've never tried before, and lest you think those super-cute helpers behind the table are just there to reload the boxes, think again! They know a lot about the food being grown, including how to cook it. Did you know that parsnips are good thin-cut and fried? Neither did I. :) Oh, and I have a new love...something I've never seen in the store, they are long skinny, bright red and super sweet peppers. OH THE JOY!!! This place is a total win!
