Bethany's Table - Halibut fish tacos delicious . The chips were so crunchy and flavorful. I'm a chip head so an easy sell, but there are so good. - New American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Food is always well prepared and service is excellent. Favorites - house salad with blue cheese, apples, roasted hazelnuts and pasta with Manila clams. Seasonal fish always well prepared. read more

Was there upon opening. Tried several items from the happy hour menu and no one of them disappointed. Had a few glasses of the red wine , it was also very delightful.... Would definitely return for dinner if in town again. Great spot with great food and service.. read more

Food is amazing. Very nice for special occasions. some of the tables are a bit close together, but the resturant is on the smaller side. Also the wood fire pizza is amazing read more

Nice to see a classy, cozy restaurant in the heart of burbs of Beaverton. I've eaten a coupe times here both times on a vendor business meeting, IMHO bit pricey but decent, good service and good wine, not to many places that meet double need of good food, close and ambience for this kind of thing and this fits the bill. Appetizer plate was good as was the off duck special of the day. Others had the on menu hanger steak, good. The pizza was disappointing it was a unique not my taste from our pizza connoisseur's opinion and I just ate at Pizzeria Bianco... and I agreed, LOL read more

At last minute, my friends and I made a reservation to try the Portland dinning month menu. All of us got the $55 menu option and we walked out so full due to generous portion and delicious bread. Cozy family style restaurant with friendly service. read more

I gnawed my way into Bethany's Table fully prepared to critique--and left wondering if I should relocate my entire dam nearby. Let's start with the wood bar. Folks, this isn't just furniture; it's a lifestyle choice. The grain? Immaculate. The polish? Smoother than a freshly peeled alder. If bars were judged by beavers (and frankly, they should be), this one would win Best in Show and be promptly protected by a small but passionate rodent union. The service deserves a standing ovation--or at least a respectful tail slap. Attentive without hovering, friendly without chewing your ear off. Every server moved with the quiet confidence of someone who knows you're about to have a great meal and is slightly proud of it. And the food--oh, sweet river reeds. Each dish arrived looking so good I briefly forgot my natural instinct to hoard. Bold flavors, thoughtful execution, and not a single bite wasted. If excellence were chewable, this would be it. Bethany's Table doesn't just set the table--they raise the BAR Five stars, two paws, one very happy beaver. I'll be back... read more

Food was FANTASTIC. The service was just ok. We were the only table inside, and there was one outside. The server was nice, but was not very attentive. She was occupied talking to the one person sitting at the bar. She never came back to check on us and see if we were happy with the food, which I found odd because the service is always top notch here! I know she had a friend at the bar, and not much was going on so she may have been bored, but it would have been nice to have been a bit more acknowledged. read more

Came in for some pasta. Food was good and so was the service. The star was the warm break and butter with finishing salt. Weren't crazy about their dessert offerings. read more

First off, I was so excited they were open for a special Dads and Grads brunch! I mean $30 for adults and $12 for kids and we were so satisfied and full! I truly wish they were open more often for brunch! Trust me, we'd be here routinely if they were! The price may seem high to some but when you consider it included coffee, fresh fruit (berries, grapefruit, nectarines, and cherries - just to name a few, an assortment of pastries, and choice of main dish, it truly was a deal! Our waiter, Justin, was so funny (and attentive) too! And with two toddlers, the restaurant was more than family friendly to our group of nine! And lastly, the huevos rancheros was absolutely to die for! Spiced just right with a wonderful hint of lime flavor - a definite must try! read more

After 3 days of craving great pasta, I FINALLY found it at Bethany's Table. And thank goodness! Staff were very kind and engaging. Based on my observations, this is a place for the locals. Ambiance is warm and calming. Although it does sound loud on the other side of the bar area. The sherry chicken liver mousse is absolutely decadent! The Caesar salad was good. The salad comes with the right amount of cheese and dressing. The croutons are large and delicious. And CLEARLY I loved their house made pasta! I had the spicy sausage rigatoni. It is spicy and the sausage is similar to a soppressata in terms of flavor and consistency. I will be back!! read more

I have not been to this restaurant in a while but remember it as being very good. Unfortunately, the restaurant must have had an off night. We had a reservation, walked into the restaurant, and no one even acknowledged that we were there. After several minutes, a female yelled that she would be right with us. It did not happen. Finally, the bartender who had seen us shortly after we walked in came over and sat us. We sat at the table and waited a long while. We were about to leave when a server finally came over. I ordered a pasta dish which was way overcooked and was both gummy and hard in places. I would have sent it back but we had already been in the restaurant a long time and did not want to wait for another dish. I would expect better from a restaurant that has been in business for many years. I gave it a generous 3 stars because the drinks, atmosphere, and server were all good. read more

We had one of the most awkward afternoon teas here. I have been to quite a few but this one was certainly the oddest. I don't know if this really reflects the restaurant as it seemed to be a pop up event. I came with a friend expecting to be given our own table so that we could catch up, to our surprise, we ended up being ushered to a back room with one long table where all guests were expected to sit family style. The seating was awkward as sitting across from each other meant you had to bump elbows with strangers so we opted to sit next to each other. Tea selection was decent enough but you share a small pot of water with at least 4 people so when we filled our cups the first time, one person didn't even get to fill up because we ran out of water. The highlight for afternoon tea for me is the warm scone with clotted cream. That wasn't on the menu. Instead, a cold Brazi bite from Costco and apple butter. Odd choice. All dishes were shared. Again, very awkward considering you're sharing food with strangers. The amount of food was also mismanaged. We were given (for a shared table of roughly the 4 of us) 5 sandwiches of one sandwich, 6 of another and 3 of one more. When I asked about the one that was missing, the server shrugged and said "someone in the back must've ate one" uhhh what? Whenever they were ready to bring out another plate, they would remove the previous plate, even if there was still food on it, and put it in the back of the room making it inaccessible to at least 3/4 of the room to get to. Now I'll give credit where it is due. The food itself was delicious. Sandwiches were tasty but that was the only positive of the night unfortunately. If you're visiting this page for the afternoon tea, I urge you to go anywhere else. read more

I think we have found our new favorite restaurant in the area that features incredible pasta etc. We visited Bethany's Table last Wednesday, and we had a wonderful visit. My wife hade the Cacio e Pepe, (a bit strong of truffle) our daughter had the wonderful Sunny Bella and I had the remarkably presented Lasagna. Everything was excellent. We started with an excellent bottle of L' Ecole Frenchtown 21. We then moved into two appetizers, the Arancini that was filled with short rib and rice. The flavor was so good. Then we also shared the Fried Artichoke. It has been a long time since I have seen that on a menu, and it was fantastic. The lemon aioli was a great accompaniment. My daughter and I did share a Caesar Salad and it was perfect. I did not like the $2 split charge. We did not need separate plates. The accompanying bread was incredible as well. The server Joseph, was friendly and very engaging. He was training that evening, and we could see why, as he was extremely knowledgeable. read more

It would seem the best restaurants have moved out of downtown Portland because Bethany's Table was a magnificent dining experience and it is located away from the bright lights of the Pearl. For starters, we didn't order off the menu but rather asked our server, Michael, to please bring us whatever he and the magnificent team of chefs thought would create a memorable dining experience. They agreed and we were treated to a parade of subtle, complex, delicious dishes. We had shaved asparagus with Burrata cheese and a delicate, tangy vinaigrette dressing. A dish of green olives, warmed, that were not the overpowering cocktail olives you get from a jar but rather some magical delicious treats from Bethany's Table's kitchen. Then we had cherrystone clams in an amazing saffron sauce and perfectly toasted pieces of bread along with pasta pockets, a kind of ravioli I think, in another incredible sauce with long, complex, subtle flavors. And did I mention the bread? Soft, flavorful; perfect bread. Oh, and I tried the mocktails because I don't drink alcohol. Generally, mocktails are tangy and cloying with sweetness so I rarely order them with dinner. But the two different mocktails I had (I don't know he names of them because as with our meal, I trusted our server to come up with the recipes) were so good. So nuanced with a bit of sweet, some bitter, some citrus, but not sicky-sweet. Then for dessert, 8 slices of rich, creamy chocolate flavored with hazelnut liquor, candied orange peel and so many other flavors, none of which were too sweet. We told Michael, our excellent server, how we found the flavors to be subtle, complex and not too sweet or salty and his apt reply was, "that's because adults work here." That really did capture the wonder of what is the best meal I've had in a very long time. Bethany's Table is a mature dining experience regardless of your age. read more

Super cozy extremely flavorful food and the best servers. Will be headed back to this place. We had the steak bites which were flavorful and cooked to perfection. The spicy shrimp and polenta. The carbonara was amazing and rich with handmade noodles. Altogether the perfect balance of rich and savory food for a filling dinner all under $100 for two people. read more

Bethany's Table - New American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This classy, comfortable bistro ranks with the best we've enjoyed in San Francisco, New York City, and Europe. The meals are astonishingly creative and satisfying to the palate, the service is terrific, and the ambiance, created by Janet and David, the owners, is a memory-maker. read more

When I go out for a evening with friends/family...the environment and friendliness of staff is equally important as the food. I love Bethany's Table overall, but when a server is cold and abrupt as she comes to take your drink/food order---it hits a nerve with me. We had Brittni who could benefit from customer service training. We were so turned off by her abruptness and cold demeaner, we finished our drinks and went to another restaurant. read more

This cute little marketplace was opened during the pandemic for grab and go items made by the chef/owner of Bethany's table. She does small catering orders and to go orders from here. Wonderful house made pastas and a variety of sauces to help make your dinner plans easy. Grab some fresh bread and dessert and you're all set. They have some great local featured items and a good variety of wines. Stop by and check it out or make reservations for Bethany's table next door. It's kind of a hidden gem in the back of the restaurant that has a speakeasy vibe. The restaurant has a cozy ambiance with delicious food made from the heart. Stop in for a tasty dinner or grab a quick dinner to go. read more

Haven't tried the food here yet, but I love the drinks and service! Mikey was our server, and he was so kind and helpful throughout our time here. He made us feel at home, and most importantly, made sure that our glasses were always full haha. I have no complaints about any of the cocktails I tried; all yummy and strong. Ambiance is cute, classy, but casual enough so you don't have to dress up to blend in. The lights are a cozy mood, and it's clean with big windows. Perfect place to grab a drink with friends or go on a date. read more

I became physically ill for the first time in over 20yrs, 7 hrs after eating here on Christmas Eve......so that was my early Christmas morning. No one in my home was sick like me, because I was the only one who ate the crab pasta. The ambiance was lovely; the service was ok. I hate to leave such a bad review, but I don't want anyone else to get sick. read more

Some of the best food I've ever had. Clams are actually insane & michael our server couldn't have been cooler / more helpful. He is the man

Always good. Great ambiance, excellent service and consistently delicious food! The menu offers the perfect amount of options, and a wide variety of cocktails. They recently added a pizza restaurant which I can't wait to try! read more

Went to Bethany's Table for HH on our way home from the beach. So glad we did. Service was great. Prices were very reasonable. I had a lovely Rose' that was a very generous pour. Loved the pizza especially. Chewy crust, delicious sauce. If only we lived closer, we would eat there all the time. read more

I can always rely on Bethany's Table to provide a welcoming ambiance, great service, and delightful food. I grew up in the Bethany region going to Bethany's Table before its renovation, so I've loved seeing it grow since its makeover. I always go for the crab pasta which never disappoints, additionally, their array of appetizers are great if you're looking for something to munch on with a drink rather than have a meal. Every time I've visited the service I receive is wonderful, especially from a waiter named Brook. My family and I often see him whenever we visit Bethany's Table, his welcoming and joyful demeanor always makes our time there enjoyable. Overall if you're looking for good food and welcoming service in a nice area, I'd recommend checking out Bethany's Table. read more

I went to Bethany's table for a work lunch this week at the recommended of a colleague. I immediately loved the upscale vibe and had high hopes for the food as well. The service was great overall, but the wait times after ordering were long. The whole meal took about 2.5 hours. We started with the crispy artichokes and crab cake. Both were delicious, but I was a bit blown away that the $20 crab cake appetizers only included one single small crab cake, which was about four bites worth. Crab's market price is expensive at the moment, but I've never seen a crab cake appetizer that didn't include at least two. Similarly, when I ordered the market fish dish, which was salmon, it seemed to only be about 4 ounces. I've never seen salmon in a restaurant portioned below 6 ounces. We also ordered the pear and apple crisp for dessert, along with the best espresso martini I've ever had. Overall, everything was delicious, but based on the contrast between the portion size and price point, I will most likely only come back if it's once again on my employer's dime. read more

***UPDATE BELOW*** I want to preface this review with a note that I in no way intend to base the entire business off of my one experience and will try eating here another time. That being said, I finally tried this place on Mother's Day because of the adverts I've seen the last couple of years and told my husband to reserve a table at 11. I was hoping to sit in the main dining room or outside to take in the nice day, but ended up in a back private room with low lighting - not a big deal as we have 5 people and it's probably the best space for our party. It did take a while to get some attention and order so my husband got up to make sure we weren't out of sight, out of mind. When the food did come it was FAST - a little TOO fast. I soon realized why. Our food was lukewarm at best and a little bland - we didn't get salt and pepper on the table and could've asked, but were too hungry to wait. I realized that this was the special Mother's Day Brunch menu and that likely, the food is not made to order so as to keep up with the business demand of the day. It was apparent that our food was sitting for a while under heating lamps and that there was likely a regular assembly-line style order to which food was prepared. As a result, it was underwhelming as I imagine the food would normally be better on a typical day. Especially frustrating was the $45 dollar a head price for non-made-to-order food. I write this only to provide feedback to the owners that the operational structure of the service was noticeable and that maybe a reevaluation of process for the next big event is warranted. It felt like a sacrifice of quality for efficiency. I will try, as I said, again on a typical weekend morning, assuming this isn't the regular brunch experience. ***UPDATE*** I went back and boy do I love being right! Right in that I knew my initial experience was not typical and this place deserved another try. I decided to try this place again for my anniversary after speaking with the lovely owner, David, who was very receptive to my feedback, clearing a few things up, which was very appreciated. Turns out I was wrong in a few of my assumptions and its refreshing to speak to a restaurant owner who is open to feedback and genuinely cares about the customer experience. Anyway, I returned for dinner and it was AMAZING! The food was delicious - I had the halibut on special, and my husband had the chicken marsala. The service was also excellent. I'm terrible with names and wish I could call him out specifically, but our server was awesome and so, so funny ;) I truly had an special time for my 17th anniversary and will definitely be coming back - honestly, this is the best restaurant in all of Hillsboro / Bethany, nay, NW Portland! Finally, my suggestion is that we all try to understand that sometimes everyone has an off day, and that's okay. Never base your opinions of a person, establishment, or experience on one instance alone or you might miss out! read more

Amazing casually elegant European restaurant right here in the Bethany area. Lovely atmosphere. Great for date nights. Warm, friendly service. Varied seasonal menu. (And fantastic holiday offerings!!) Unique offering in Bethany area! read more

This restaurant was recommended to us so we decided to try it. Loved it so much, we came back in the next night and tried it again. Our server, Emily, was friendly and engaging. Her recommendations were helping and spot on. She even brought a blanket for my wife who was chilly. The roasted beet salad was amazing. The fried chèvre was absolutely delicious and complemented well with the Champaign vinegairette. The lasagna is very untraditional. A pile of meat topped with ricotta cheese with the house made pasta wrapped around it covered with a rich, hearty tomato sauce. It was completely enjoyable. I had the halibut special the second night. Sautéed halibut over a croquet of potato stuffed with mushroom and grilled artichoke, breaded and deep fried - delicious. This in a lemon beure blanc served with charred asparagus and carrots. Wonderful. Deserts were equally as good but I'm tired of writing. Just try the place, you will be happy read more

This is a great place to eat --- if you aren't too hungry and don't care about getting a good bang for your buck. I ordered a hazelnut gorgonzola (I think? The crumbles were so microscopic, I can't remember if they were bleu or gorgonzola. Sorry. The hazelnuts were chopped so finely, it was difficult to identify those too.) Those were mixed with standard mixed greens. The salad was smaller than most places' side salad and cost $12. See what I mean? Cup of tomato basil soup was very good! I had just opted out of a cream based soup which I had told the server I don't do. She didn't say whether this soup had cream or not. I'm assuming it didn't but it would have been nice for her to tell me. Served with two baguette-width and thin slices of delicious Italian style bread. Just wished I had more! I think one was meant for my friend! Service was okay. Server had a slightly creepy pasted-on smile every time she came by. However, the point is she did come by on a regular basis to check on us. Or I wouldn't have noticed the smile. My bill came to $21.42. This is a fine price for a sit down lunch --- assuming the portions are satisfying. I told my friend I needed a snack as we were leaving. and as an added bonus, on the drive home, my stomach was growling. Oh dear. read more

We were given a gift certificate for this restaurant - we'd never even heard of it. Very nice place, we will be back, especially if we have guests and want a reliable good meal. We tried it for a weekday lunch and were the first to arrive when they opened. Tables are a bit close but it's a cozy place, lots of natural light and attractive. The owners were out shmoozing with customers while we ate, which was entertaining, and service was good. Food was good, nothing we haven't seen before but it was all executed well and ingredients seemed fresh. We tried an appetizer, two entrees and a dessert and we had drinks with dessert. I don't have a bad thing to say but I also wasn't wowed by anything, which makes this a solid 4 stars, maybe a hair more if I was feeling generous. If you're looking for a nice restaurant for a very comfortable meal, this is your place. No surprises here, which can be a very good thing! read more

Well...came here for a meat and cheese board for lunch but they only serve that for dinner. Ordered the angus burger with fries. WOW. I was surprised!!! The burger was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! So much flavor from the burger itself and the secret sauce. I got the patty medium rare and it was good size. The fries were thin, crisp and perfectly seasoned and ALOT of fries too. My server was so kind and informative of specials. Outdoor seating is very comfortable and nice. Not a lot of foot traffic from other pedestrians. Nice selection of wines and cocktails I'd like to try next time. Very clean and refreshing indoors. Again. So surprised the burger was so much better than I expected! And their dessert menu was very diverse as well. The fruit tart is always my go to :) Would come back again for the burger for sure! read more

Used to really enjoy coming here to celebrate special occasions but that's not going to be happening anymore. Last visit was so disappointing. Smaller portions, higher prices & then surcharging 10% for credit cards! Not to mention adding another surcharge for employee health & wellness. $22 for a very small family size salad? $30+ for tiny pasta portion? Nope. I understand inflation is a factor but we just felt ripped off. Not going to be darkening their doorway again. Btw the chicken was overdone - dried out & tough. read more

My friend recommended, this was our first sit down dining in the restaurant after long break due to the pandemic. Stated with some appetizers, and had shrimp and chorizo pasta and lamb dish. Unfortunately past was over cooked and chorizo was salty and overpowering the shrimp, not sure if this flavor profile. Lamb sausage served with house made hummus and cucumber yogurt sauce was good. Service was decent but we had to ask bread twice to get to our table. They have a good cocktail menu, wine selection is fine, overall it's ok dining experience. read more

Food was ill prepared. I ordered pork. It was way under cooked. Things are way over priced for the quality of the offerings They add a healthy/ wellness fee to your order.

I have been to Bethany's table a few times and am consistently impressed by the quality of the ingredients they use. The food is outstanding. I especially love the risotto when it has no meat in it. Ask for a side of roasted veggies to mix in. So good! As for the new construction, there are still nice little spots to tuck into which keeps the cozy nature of the space. Some staff are kinder than others, but overall I found them to be true service professionals. read more

Service and food was amazing - fine dining. Attention to all the details. Such a treasure to find in the suburbs!

Bethany's Table is amazing in every way. What an absolute gem this is for the Village of Bethany. It rivals any top tier restaurant you could find in the greater Portland metro area. Service is always top notch. Fantastic gourmet class meals suitable for lunches or dinners. Top tier wine and drinks options. Great vibe and atmosphere. Suitable for couples, small parties, large groups, or solo. And the owners and staff clearly put their hearts and souls into not just the restaurant, but into the community. Top notch but never any pretentiousness. You will feel at home and welcome here. So refreshing to have all this right here in Bethany. Highly recommended. read more

I've been eating & drinking at Bethany's Table for years, and I've never thought to give them a shout out on here. So, I'm going to rectify that right now. Beyond exquisite, fresh, and delicious cuisine, you can feel the heart and personality when you dine here. Whether a large dinner party with friends, family meal, patio glass of wine, or belly up to the (gorgeous) bar for an intimate date night this is a wonderful place to enjoy food, drink, and community. Things I love: Locally sourced produce, high quality meat & fish, and food that show creatively. Fun cocktails and an excellent wine list. During the pandemic, our family was dining outside when it started to snow, the owner brought extra heaters and chatted with us in the freezing cold for a generous amount of time. During their remodel we loved hearing the excitement and intricate details of the design. The authenticity of what they are doing here is unique and definitely worth the trip to the suburbs! Well behaved dogs are welcome on the patio. read more
