Tatiana DorochinaSeptember 3, 2015I can only speak for desserts. I've had ricotta fruit tart and a peach pie and both of them were superb. The pastry and the balance between tartness and creamy elements were top notch.
Jenn PAugust 8, 2014This restaurant came recommended by a friend. So glad we checked it out while in town. Great food, great drinks, plus I found a new favorite local riesling (Mad Violets).
Zack SheppardNovember 15, 2015Best food I had in Portland. Be sure to get the bacon wrapped dates! The duck confit is also super good.
Greg BeddorDecember 31, 2014Had a fantastic lunch meeting here today. All of our entrees looked authentic and delicious. Everything was tasty and above average in my opinion.
Connie ChiuAugust 6, 2016Unbelievable food. Must gets are the butternut squash blossom (though seasonal) and Hawaiian walu butterfish--it just melts in your mouth.
Nauman NoorJune 8, 2015Great food that is worth the wait on weekends though staff can get overwhelmed
Dave MulderOctober 25, 2015Make a reservation or you will be sitting at the bar. Menu is printed daily. "Diplomatic Immunity" cocktail was great.
Kimmie NguyenMay 6, 2013It's beautiful outside. Go have dinner on their patio! The Hawaiian walu is so tasty!
- If you're stopping by for brunch, be sure to order the VQ-8. It's the house Bloody Mary, absolutely out of this world.
Betsy BAMAugust 22, 2013My standby. I am guaranteed a meal I love and good service. Rent the cellar for an intimate dinner with friends.
Ryan WApril 15, 2013Everything was fantastic at brunch. Cornbread! Pork belly hash!! Can't go wrong here. Great service, too.
Nicole McKinneyJune 18, 2013Definitely try the lavender lemon drop. You can't go wrong with any of the food. Staff is great, too!
Haitham Bu-AishaAugust 5, 2016Excellent fine dining.. You would need a reservation in most of the times..
Susan StricklandNovember 4, 2015Veggie burger made from lentils and hazelnuts, with Bleu cheese. Delicious!
Shannon HowellJanuary 30, 2012Make sure to ask to sit in the wine cellar for intimate gatherings. Not as loud as the dining room, and amazing ambiance and service!
Maciej SkierkowskiAugust 22, 2013Order the Soufflé at the beginning, it takes 45 mins to make and you definitely need to get it.
christian svanes koldingOctober 7, 2014order the lava cake for dessert right when you sit down - it takes 90 minutes to prepare.
- Marc SpinowitzJuly 27, 2011The Oregon Cod was some of the best cod I have had, the Widemer beer is a great local beer
Sit at the bar or on the patio, get the Osso Buco or the burger.
Stephanie Downey ToledoApril 19, 2011Incredible restaurant! 5 of 5 people in our party said it was their best meal of 2011! Highly recommend the Hawaii Walu!
Diana MOctober 14, 2010Order two appetizers -- still filling, but great variety. I had the bacon-wrapped prawns and rabbit pate -- divine!
The Four GracesJuly 13, 2010Go to Veritable Quandary they have a fabulous patio! Even with the heat it is a great place to spit on our Willamette Pinot Noir!
Lyndsay EdigerAugust 30, 2011Got the strip steak, expensive but worth every penny- the best strak iv ever had!
Aaron Koontz-DaltonJuly 18, 2016The food was good. The support staff seemed on top of things. Our waiter/server (Marshall) was awful. We weren't event sure he was our person because he only came by twice.
Rowan ForsterAugust 29, 2011Found Duck Confit Spring Rolls as Yum. Try it and dish on it at
