It was a solid 10 min before a few other plates came out. The last persons order (the charcuterie plate) was the last to come out, a solid 15 min after the first crew got their food. They were done eating by the time it came out and there is no cooking and little prep involved w throwing crackers on a plate. Ambiance was nice but way too loud. We couldn't hear the person 2 seats over speaking to us. The 20% fee tacked on each check is tacky. Needless to say- we will not be back.

The service was just as impressive: attentive, friendly, and really made us feel taken care of without being overbearing. The venue itself is gorgeous and has such a great atmosphere. It's the perfect place to gather with friends and enjoy a night out in Portland. Everything about the experience felt thoughtfully done, from the pacing of the meal to the overall vibe. Andina is Portland institution and pays such great homage to Peruvian cuisine. This restaurant never disappoints. Thank you Andina for always being a Portland constant...great food, great food, great service ! We'd definitely come back and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great group dining experience.

We were celebrating my son's 16th birthday, and the team made the evening feel special from the moment we arrived. They seated us by the window, had a birthday card waiting for him, and every staff member we interacted with provided exceptional service. The food exceeded our expectations. Everything we ordered was prepared perfectly and was exactly what we expected for a restaurant at this price point and in this location. To top it all off, they surprised my son by adding a candle to his dessert, making the celebration even more memorable. Overall, it was an outstanding dining experience, and we will definitely be back.

Food good, service horrible. The reservation I made a week before was useless. Cool views…read more For my mom's birthday I wanted to take her to a nice dinner with great views! Those two boxes were checked but the rest of the 2 and a half hour visit was abysmal to say the least. I made a reservation a week before, knowing this place offers the best views in Portland, & hoping to solidify a great spot with our meal - no. The hostess said our best bet would be to sit in the lounge, we accepted & did as such. It was a decent amount of time until we received water - our ordered beverages came significantly later. We didn't order our main dish until 10 minutes before closing. When we ordered an over $100 bottle of wine we were met with an eye roll and sigh of frustration because our waiter was overworked & didn't have time to care about what we, as paying customers, wanted. I want to be clear that I do not fault our waiter for his reaction because he was visibly overwhelmed throughout the entirety of our visit. I am significantly disappointed in the customer service - as horrendous and incredibly long even the smallest requests took. If I make a reservation for 7:30 and leave the restaurant at 10 - after having reminded the staff several times of what we wanted or needed that is indicative of the establishment and management not the individuals. The food prices are not reflective of the overall service and experience. To be frank, if you (as an establishment) do not have the bandwidth to cater to your customers needs, then the prices should coincide with the experience, or hire more staff to fill the gaps that exist. I am genuinely saddened that my mom and I, who both love a great restaurant experience, left dissatisfied and disappointed in her celebratory dinner. The food was great. But not great enough to overcompensate for the overall nature of the experience.

It was even square like a bread machine. Fucking awesome, I love 50's white bread. And it was delicious and held up to bold olive oil. I got the aglio oglio again, it's too good not to pass up and I don't know how to make it that well myself. I added guanciale and it made it like a lighter version of carbonara, which was certainly welcome. I ate by myself and they didn't make it weird.

I love the space. It's intimate but not so small you feel crowded. We were sat in the atrium which was so nice, great views of the city being on the fourth floor. The lighting throughout the space is bright from all of the windows, but not too much. It also holds sound well so it doesn't get too loud you can't hear your table mates. The service is the star here. So friendly and attentive. I asked several questions about both drinks and the food menu and our server was so patient to explain and answer them all and she also made great recommendations. We were attended to but not smothered. Never going hungry and never had an empty glass. The food is just fantastic. I love that the menu changes so every experience here is unique. I can't recommend Noble Rot enough!

Very pleasant surprise with my community connection 2. Servers switched and our server never introduced themselves, was not welcoming and proceeded to take our menus without offering us additions, or to order beverages. 3. We asked to speak to the manager and let her know of our experience being both community and foodie sharers. She made a point to say how busy burger week had made them as a reason. I asked for the check to pay so that we could leave, was told is comped because it was "only $20" and given an opportunity to return. 4. Burger was alright but didn't get a photo to share because of the experience. Although they corrected the mishap, the tone was still not hospitable. Very uncomfortable dining experience and ending to an exciting week of great burgers and service.

We were provided with complimentary tomato bisque in cute little cups to start off the meal. It had a nice, light spicy kick that immediately got things going. We ordered the clam chowder with bone marrow, and this was absolutely the best clam chowder we have ever had. The dish comes with a cooked bone marrow on top that you're meant to scrape into the chowder, along with five medium clams still in their shells. Remove everything from the shells, scrape that glorious bone marrow into the chowder, and give it a really good stir. Keep the bone in the bowl for the extra flavor. Then enjoy what might be the best clam chowder of your life. We also ordered the beef tongue, which was another amazing appetizer. The combination of horseradish, tiny potato salad, capers, crispy little pork rind pieces, and the sauce on top of the beef tongue was SO flavorful. I was, indeed, back in divine food heaven. For our entrees and sides, we ordered the green beans, skirt steak, and pork chop. The green beans had an Asian-inspired preparation with fish sauce, cashews, and Thai basil. They were incredibly flavorful, with the Thai basil adding a nice freshness. The skirt steak was perfectly cooked to medium and seasoned beautifully with smoky flavors. The accompanying chimichurri added a fresh, herby contrast. And then there was the pork chop, which was a hugeeeee surprise! Our waitress told us it was one of their most popular dishes, and now I understand why. It was huge, perfectly cooked, beautifully grilled, and served with a slightly sweeter sauce that worked so well with the pork. We ended the meal with sorbet, which was fantastic and a refreshing way to finish everything. My life is complete!

Consistently one of my favorite restaurants because of their incredible quality, flavors (Spanish,…read moreFrench, Italian-influenced Argentinian fare), and atmosphere - this was a new experience with take-out, some of the finest to be found. Authors & James Beard award-winning Chefs Gabrielle Quiñónez & Greg Denton have honed Portland's love of all things local (seasonal & freshly sourced ingredients) within a menu that maintains integrity across seasons. Whether seated "around the (wood) fire" with their massive custom grill, in the atrium, at the bar top, booth, back oyster bar, private dining, or (more recently) a vined patio - every area is primed for new and wonderful memories. Their wine program (although abbreviated) is one of my favorite in the city, heavy on Willamette picks but rounded with exquisite (but generally affordable) European & South American bottles. I sampled five courses, for take-out this visit - overall (service/ambiance, along with food degradation during transport), I'd give 3 stars, but across multiple visits (otherwise dine-in), restaurant maintains 4 stars. Servers are taking the stars for service. A favorite of mine, their BELGIAN ENDIVE SALAD is seasonally updated with cherries/sweet atop the usual endive/bitter, bleu/tart/smooth, and the texture is something fun with candied pecans & mild vinaigrette (buttery EVOO) blending with each electrifying bite. This presentation was not its freshest (endive), but could have turned during transportation. The reason I'll keep coming back: CLAM CHOWDER w SMOKED MARROW BONE is similarly elemental - each ingredient shining in its own right, but symphonic altogether. The soup itself is thin - not too filling, but incredibly rich in flavor (a touch of white wine? maybe B&W pepper?), showcasing large delicately cooked clams & melted marrow that seasons tiny cubed carrots & potatoes, onion & pork - sliced jalapeño leaves a back-end heat that's lasting & warm. This is the place you order a meat with some fat on it, so bring some friends and plan for sharing. Anything cooked on the Ann Arbor grill is better-than-basic, but I'd rather a filet that's pan-seared & oven-finished (although DO ASK for their signature Bordelaise, which is a gorgeous compliment to steak with red wine, and counterpoint to their exceptional chimichurri). To pair - FRIED RUSSET POTATOES - rustic, not a touch overcooked, but entirely original & delicious with their with horseradish aioli + dash of dill. Flavors are vaguely familiar, like an avant-garde ranch - always on-point. Dessert was SUBLIME - if only I recalled this little slice of buckwheat-toffee-cake's name. Ice cream took the heat during travel, but I imagine it's even better at the source. Points lost on service during carry-out, next time I'll send a representative.
