Do you want amazing, thoughtful sandwiches and snack options? Well you can find all that and MORE at Arbor Hall! This is seriously my favorite bar in Portland and it is truly worth the trip, no matter how far you are. The sweet couple who owns it are so warm and welcoming, you can tell they pour their passion and genius into this place and their friends and siblings who work their are just as wonderful! Arbor Hall also has incredible seasonal drink specials (crystal clear Marg, Mure the Berrier, Amazing Ciderman, Milk punches sometimes!), as well as a crazy comprehensive spirit menu. I can't wait to go back!!

For mains, my friend ordered the elk burger, and as a self-proclaimed elk burger connoisseur, her approval means something -- she thoroughly enjoyed it. I went with the pulled pork sandwich, which was good and flavorful, and paired really well with their pepper & cabbage coleslaw on the side. We also split a cup of the roasted red pepper and tomato bisque, which was honestly a highlight of the whole meal -- rich, well-balanced, and worth ordering on its own. Drinks deserve a shoutout too: their non-alcoholic options were great. My friend raved about the guava lemonade, and I had the blueberry vinegar shrub, which was excellent -- bright, crisp, and refreshing.

Close enough to PDX hotels to Uber. The food was spectacular. The salads are huge. The ribs looked amazing. The lamb meatloaf was extremely tasty and the chicken pesto fettuccine was able to be made without fettuccine for me with just extra veggies and it was stellar. They did not even balk at substituting the extra veggies.. the swordfish special with the mushroom risotto and grilled asparagus was awesome. Everything was cooked to perfection and our waiter. Torben was the highlight. He had a wonderful, can-do attitude, very accommodating and extremely friendly. He really treated us amazing and his workplace as though restaurant was his taking pride in his job. The desserts that walked by our table made me wish I had only shared a meal with someone. Everything looked incredible. This needs to be put on your top five to try list.

The wings are excellent--crispy, perfectly fried, and served with chunky house-made blue cheese. As good as they are, the real surprise was everything else on the menu. The Beef on Weck was a standout: thinly sliced roast beef piled onto a kummelweck roll (a kaiser roll topped with coarse salt and caraway seeds) with plenty of horseradish. Simple, messy, and ridiculously good. The fried pizza logs and Buffalo chicken finger subs were great as well, though obvious in name - completely new to me. Add a stellar beer list and a lively, friendly vibes and you're going to have a good time.

We all had cocktails, mine was a chilled bar martini dirty with extra olives. And they really understood the assignment with the olives. Between us we had a dozen and a half Shigoku oysters from Washington state. And fresh grated horseradish was a bonus alongside the mignonette. The table favorite after the oysters were the deviled eggs. You have to try the truffle popcorn with the fluffy freshly grated Parmesan. That will disappear quickly. The service was attentive throughout our two hour visit. Matthew checked in regularly without being overly solicitous. Looking forward to returning again. Wonderful outdoor eating area that we didn't take advantage of this time but absolutely plan to.
