Fast service. Delicious prime rib dinner for me with asparagus. Came with mashed potatoes. Too much pepper for me but good. Asparagus great. Pineapple and pina colada refresher very tasty. Banana split was the second time we’ve had it. A lot more whipped cream than ice cream. Opposite of first time we had it. And very little chocolate syrup and caramel unlike the first time. I’ll bring that up next time, but we had a movie to get to. Plenty of banana. Juan was a very good, excellent server. We get our best meals at Oswego Grill consistently.

Third time at Yalla. They have this dialed in! Excellent flavors, nice presentation, comfortable dining room. Service is always "spot on". What impresses me most, is how they handle unexpected situations. We showed up for a reservation (for 4), and they offered a table in the front of the restaurant by the door. Was a little cold and breezy on that day, so we asked for a different table. We were told that unfortunately, none were available, as they had a large party coming in, so many tables had been combined. A minute later, the hostess came back and told me they'd rearrange things for the other party, and offered us a table further away from the door. Very nice gesture - they totally could have just forgotten about it, but they made an effort to be accommodating. Same reservation, we were waiting on one last plate (food is served family-style, so plates come out throughout the meal). Asked about it, and the server told us that she thought it was coming up. She left, and a couple minutes later, the manager came out and apologized for the delay. He acknowledged that they had missed the dish, so he immediately brought it out, with an extra appetizer, and comped them both. Again, could have just brought the plate and not said anything, but they went the "extra mile" to provide an exceptional experience. Will certainly be back.

Wow! I highly recommend this restaurant. We were given a gift certificate and had never heard of it before. So glad we were given this gift. It was our first visit, but it definitely won't be the last. We did the chef's tasting menu and we loved each and every course. All the staff we interacted with were amazing! If I could give this place more than five stars I would!

this is our favorite Portland restaurant. The very best. Food is always amazing and the staff is wonderful. Friendly, while being completely professional , knowledgeable, about the food and wine and very helpful. Couldn’t recommend it more.

We went the day before Christmas Eve and it was the most amazing and memorable experience of a lifetime! We had just found out that my FIL has a very aggressive form of cancer and this was a memory none of us will ever forget. The six of us ordered about 9 HH apps and two entrees and everything was a 10/10! The food was the out of this world, our server was the most attentive we’d ever had, and the ambiance was quiet, exciting, and amazing the entire time. I highly recommend this tapas-style culinary experience of a lifetime!
