    Coles de bruselas
    Anna Z.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is nice for a date night and service was good[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], however the tapas were just average and seemed more Spanish-inspired than actual Spanish dishes. None of them were bad, but the food just felt like it was lacking something. The prices are quite steep as well, expect to pay over $100 for two people. Sangria - kind of just tasted like wine. Not impressed Limogranada mocktail - pretty good, very tart and a bit smoky for a mocktail. Croquetas de jamon - felt like fried mashed potatoes. There was a slight essence of jamon, but more as an afterthought. Cangrejo & setas - standard crab cake. Mushrooms were oily and not crispy Coles de bruselas - slightly underdone in the middle and not as crispy as I wanted, I also wished there was a more acidic flavor like balsamic to balance the brussels out. Ceviche - I liked it, but it mostly tasted like guacamole / pico? I could see the seafood but it didn't feel like the star of the show. Crema Catalana - solid lemon creme brûlée with nicely crystallized thin sugar top. Probably the highlight of my meal

    PAELLA DE MARISCOS (GF,DF)

    Our first time eating at this restaurant tonight for a special evening with my partner. She is gluten and dairy free, so it was amazing to see a menu of Spanish food with all of the different allergens listed. The service was great, we really enjoyed the bartender that took care of us this evening. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance in the main dining area appeared to be nice albeit a bit noisy from where we were sitting, but it was a busy Saturday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have lived in Spain and visited many times, so I am very passionate about Spanish cuisine. Needless to say that the food lived up to my expectations. The only reasons for the 4 star review are I would have preferred the paella to be a tiny bit more crispy on the bottom of the pan, and I didn't get to try the deserts we ordered (kitchen comped us another one), but I don't have any complaints about the taste and quality of the food. Really well done!

    We got there for our 6:10 reservation and we're sitting for a long time before our order was taken. It seemed like the waitresses and waiters were super busy and could benefit from another body. Even the drinks took awhile. We didn't actually get our food till about 8PM. We were in a larger group but didn't order the paella because we were trying to get out a bit sooner but our food came out with some members of our party's paella anyways. We got the lamb and salmon plates. The lamb was actually pretty good cooked to a nice rare and crusted and seasoned very nicely. The chimichurri sauce complemented it well. The veggies accompanying it was a bit bitter but just for my taste. The salmon was pretty dry overall. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor and ambiance of the restaurant was pretty nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The tapas were pretty good. We had the beet salad, potato's, and bombas. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's also fun to see the hustle of the kitchen and they were hustling for sure.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    (APRIL 2024) Got started on the wrong foot with a manager there and seating for our reservation and thankfully it was quickly resolved with an apology in tact. We ordered an array of drinks and appetizers to which all were a colorfuul and flavorful. This was my first time having beef cheeks and it did not disappoint. It was very tender and paired well with the sliced potatoes. It's a intimate vibe here so definitely a place to take a date!

    Can Font is a great restaurant to come for a special occasion! We came for my sister's birthday and our reservation of 10 people were seated in a long table in the back. Our server was very friendly and patient with us. We started with a few mocktails to get the party started. Most of the mocktails were on the tart side rather than sweet. For starters, we got the Pimientos Shishito, Chipirones Fritos, Ensalada de Remolacha, Patatas Bravas, and the Bombas. My favorites were the Patatas Bravas, the sauce and aioli that came with the potatoes were delicious and complimented the dish well. The beet salad was also a great palette cleanser from all the fried and grilled starters. For the main, we got 4-person pans of Paella de Mariscos and Paella de King Salmon. Both were delicious, I love the saffron-seafood stock flavor that was soaked into the rice. The seafood and salmon was cooked perfectly too. We got full so quickly that we ended up taking some home. Definitely recommend for a fun night out to try new dishes and cuisine you don't regularly eat!

    I've been on the hunt for a good paella since Chef Chesa closed up his wonderful restaurants. Sadly, I'll have to keep looking. We came to Can Font for dinner, looking specifically to try the paellas. We got the paella negra and the paella mar & tierra, both $38 each. They're fairly small - you could eat one per person if you didn't have appetizers - that would be fine and all but they were so so salty. The flavors weren't that amazing - honestly probably the least good paella I've had in a long time The other food was pretty good, but again not worth the price tags... service was alright. Drinks were alright. It was unusually warm and humid in the restaurant which was annoying - and they only served tap water without ice. I get that rent is expensive in the Pearl but this isn't an amazing location with an amazing view or anything. Everything was just ok and for the price you can get an amazing dinner in many other places.

    We came for a yummy Mother's Day brunch. We started off with some drinks. The espresso martini was very strong in the alcohol and coffee area. My wife got the affogato. We concur this should be a brunch staple. Why wait till night time. We started with deviled eggs. I can really put down some deviled eggs but the crispy ham is really the show stopper here. Of course you gotta try the paella. Brunch paella. Lots of tasty meat but once again crispy ham delivers. I guess I didn't expect $32 per person. Little steep but I know it's a process. My wife loved the lox. Perfect combination. I passed on it. But there were lots of happy noises. Getting the cheese sandwich was just over the top. I appreciate the combo of cheeses. Made for a tasty but slightly greasy sandwich. The fruit was actually quite a showstopper. Can someone supreme my oranges for me all the time. And the honey and mint just made it next level. Really good service and atmosphere. Perfect for the occasion. But you know. Crispy ham is the star. I don't go to tapas brunch often enough to tell if the price is on par but it is definitely spendy. But we do love moms.

    PULPO & VIEIRA A LA PLANCHA: seared mediterranean octopus, scallop harissa picada, romesco sauce, mashed potatoes
    Lauren H.

    I came here with my husband for a delayed Valentines Day date. We made a same-day reservation and were greeted promptly, and I greatly appreciated their coat rack. The host was welcoming and the service team was graciously willing to accommodate our request to sit at a different table. Now, about the food... we came for tapas and we were quite delighted by our options. We chose the seared octopus and scallop with capers and potatoes, the pan y tomate (Ken's bread), and the ceviche. All 3 options were delicious, and the octopus was one of the best dishes I've ever had. I am typically skeptical of octopus because, in the past, what I've tried was always very chewy and difficult to eat. Not so, at Can Font. This octopus was perfectly seared and the texture was amazing! I wanted 4 more plates! The bread with tomato surprised us in the best way with its seasoning and the ceviche was divine. One final note of appreciation- our ceviche was apparently late (we didn't notice because we were busy enjoying our other two dishes). The owner himself brought it over and explained that the chef was out due to having a baby - Congratulations! - and so they were doing their best to make up for his absence. Because of the delay, the owner comped our ceviche and chatted with us for a few minutes. He is very kind and professional. What an amazing experience, we will be back to try more options very soon.

    TARTA DE QUESO
    Christopher C.

    While in Portland on vacation, we ate at this restaurant, which was very close to our hotel. We started with three tapas. Our first one was the MELONES & CHICHARRONES (pork belly, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, cucumber, spiced pistachio-honey mousse, intentional harvest microgreens). Although we've never had that combination of flavors before, they went together very well. The melons were great and the pork belly was crispy and delicious. Next, we went with the PULPO & VIEIRA A LA PLANCHA (seared Mediterranean octopus, scallop, harissa picada, romesco sauce, Intentional Harvest microgreens). It had a small piece of octopus and a single scallop. What it lacked in quantity, it made up for in quality - absolutely delicious. Octopus can become rubbery if even remotely overcooked. This was not. The final tapa was CROQUETAS DE PERNIL IBERICO (cured Iberico ham croquettes, lemon-aleppo aioli). It was also delicious - crispy and salty. Each of these dishes had a delicious sauce that complimented it perfectly. That was the best of the meal. Then, we ordered the PAELLA DE MARISCOS (saffron-seafood stock, salmon, mussels, clams, shrimp, sofrito, picada sauce). Now, I love a good sofrito, but this was bordering on burnt. There was very little rice and, either they were out of salmon or they forgot to put it in as it was non-existent. After such small portions, we were still a little hungry, so we had TARTA DE QUESO (Basque inspired cheesecake, cream cheese, vanilla, lemon, sour cream, seasonal gastrique). Honestly - the worst piece of cheesecake I'd ever eaten. It had very little flavor and the "gastrique" was equally flavorless. If I were going to return, I would stick to tapas, which were delicious and maybe do a few more (such as the Crab Croquettes or the Spanish Squid), skip the paella and go elsewhere for dessert. Three tapas, paella for 2 and cheesecake was over $300 - a little high, even by downtown Portland standards.

    Mezcalita
    Frank C.

    While looking for something a bit more high end and different to celebrate our anniversary, Can Font popped up on Yelp during the search. Reservation was made on online, we arrived on time and sat down quickly. (we were the second table at 5:30 on a Friday, place was packed by the time we left around 7-7:30) Every staff including our waitress were very nice, we felt very welcomed in this modern setting. We started off with some cocktails, both the mezcalita and Don Quixote were very well made, balanced and interesting. The charred salt on the mezcalita is the first time I've had seen it, definitely brings added layer of aroma and flavor. We mainly focused on getting tapas, after reading about the mixed feedbacks on the paella, I made sure to only order one to share, but that ended up fairly decent (not necessary special). The chipirones Fritos was very fresh, great texture and just a small amount of breading, it was perfectly done. The shishito peppers was cooked and seasoned very well, I couldn't stop eating them. Patatas bravos was good as most Yelp reviews mentioned, the bombas was made well, the flavor is balanced, another excellent dish. Our waitress comp'd our desserts after hearing about our anniversary celebration, which is also a nice gesture that I appreciate very much. All in all, it was a great experience at this place, it can certainly get expensive depending on what you get, but we felt the price we paid for is justified. This place will remain on my list of places to revisit.

    Ben M.

    By far my BEST dining experience since I've been in Portland. The service was great... The food was superb and more flavorful with each dish. Definitely recommend to any and all who are looking for a amazing evening of great food and stacked wine list to choose from. Can Font has been placed on my Portland Platinum List.

Pulled up to Pollo Bravo on Killingsworth and immediately loved the location. Easy, neighborhood energy. The kind of spot that feels like it's about to become "your place."

Light enough to feel healthy, satisfying enough to feel like a proper meal. No dry nonsense. No over-seasoned chaos. Just solid execution. Is it the best chicken I've ever had? No. Is it flirting with the medal dais? Absolutely. Now the cauliflower. Whatever that green sauce was... keep it coming. Bottle it. Franchise it. It elevated the whole situation. I would order that again purely as a sauce delivery vehicle. Service? Quick. Smiling. Efficient. In and out with zero friction. We appreciate professionals. I grabbed takeaway this time, but I could easily see this as: * Casual dinner with my girl * Low-pressure link-up with friends * "Let's eat something that feels responsible" night Would I come back?
