- EEricPortland / Oregon •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoI love the servers here. They absolutely love to make you feel welcomed and happy. Came here for a date night, even though they were a little delayed/held back for our reservation, the wait wasn’t extremely long. And they made sure to make it up to us by providing free appetizer and dessert. 5/5 would recommend for a nice date night.More infoCanard - BurnsidePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• NE Portland•4.9
- CCindyPortland / Oregon •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe food is good. Lots of choices. Good service. They do add a 3% charge to food and beverage’s orders to “allow them to pay their staff well?) are they paying a higher wages? Not sure how that should affect the tip? I would rather it just be baked into the prices. You can ask for it to be removed. Tables are very close It is loud. But still would go back.More infoThirsty Lion – Washington Square, ORPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Tigard•4.4

- CCarlPortland / Oregon •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoFood was a symphony of delicious taste. If I had to choose I’d say the vegetarian menu was more of a medley of flavors, the winner, but everything was fantastic, the wine was a hit, the staff was informative fun and friendly! Wish I had anything similar in my area. Highly recommend if you have $600 sitting around and love balanced unique seasons.More infoLe PigeonPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• SE Portland•4.8
