Best American Restaurants in North Portland

Everything was delicious and well paired, for example the gravy really enhanced the fried chicken rather than overpowering it or making it soggy. Mac and cheese was just the right richness and texture. Cocktail was very tasty. Presentation of everything was thoughtful. Generous portions. I was super impressed with the quality, especially for a casual come-as-you-are restaurant. Would definitely come back if we lived in Portland!

Outstanding service, food, and ambience…we had the fiery ahi and the scallops & shrimp! The service was amazing, especially the bartenders who were very gracious and warm as we waited for our table!!! Plan to go again soon!!!!

Food has really good taste, just super robust for a brunch but I suppose that’s the southern style (it was my first time eating southern food). But I could definitely go back.

I have been coming to Jake’s since 1984 when I lived in town and when I visit… I don’t know how, but somehow, it’s still the same wonderful vintage yesterday year elegant restaurant. It has always been in the food remains superb. The service is impeccable. The Landry’s corporation has done a great job in allowing Jake’s to retain its unique and distinct personality.

Our meal at Tartuca was the best we’ve had in a while! This neighborhood spot does Italian pasta like none other in Portland. Service was warm and well attentive and the food was phenomenal. We recommend ordering off the extensive wine list. Jeff, the manager, is very knowledgeable and made us recommendations to pair with our meal. We will be back!
