My friend and I were craving something light after a workout class in the area and it was the perfect menu for a hot day. Items are a little more expensive but they're farm fresh ingredients that fill you up. I would recommend trying miso sesame shitake cold noodles and add an extra egg. My friend and I were sharing and they were kind to split it up for us in our own bowls. The noodles were chewy and the ponzu sauce added a lightness to the savory sesame. Veggies were fresh and added the crunch needed to the dish. They had tasty kombuchas in their fridge too - nice to pair with the noodles! Surprisingly they own the seating on the patio as well so you can grab a nice view while you wait for your order. They bring it out to you but you need to buss it back downstairs afterwards. Worth a visit for sure and need to come back to try their smoked fish toast.

This is a familiar type of place for Portland - not inexpensive, but great food. It's small,…read moreshareable plates. A friend brought me here and we split 8 plates and each had a dessert. One drink and the "Employee Health" charge of an additional 5% made the bill $163.80 before tip. Okay, so that's the not inexpensive part. As for the food, there were several great dishes. I was not wild about the salad we got, The Crunchmaster Crisp, the my friend said a different one she had previously was really good. We got the Crusty Avocado - seeds coat the outside and inside the avocado is filled with Ahi tuna. That was a good dish. We also had Garden Peas which were pretty good. The trout was excellent, the Fried Chicken was unique, and quite good. We got a couple of the skewers (they're small!), the pork belly and the steak and both were great. I could have ordered several and made a meal out of those! The Milk Chocolate dessert was good, but I wasn't a big fan of the "baby popcorn". The Whip-a-licious was well liked by my friend. It was better than I thought it would be because I'm not a big passion fruit fan. Our service was excellent. All together, I definitely recommend for the food, atmosphere, and service. Just be prepared for an expensive night out!

There were also times where it felt like we were waiting forever for the next dish to come out. That said, the food was impeccable. Just keep in mind it's definitely true tapas style, so the portions are on the smaller side. My parents were visiting, and I wanted to take them somewhere with a fun Portland vibe. Even my mom commented that it seemed like something was off with our waiter. It was a bit disappointing because the food was so good, but the service took away from the overall experience.

Fireside sits on a busy corner on NW 23rd. There's outdoor seating, so like many places in…read morePortland, well-behaved dogs are welcome. What sets Fireside apart is their servers. They are genuinely happy. I've been here maybe a dozen times in the last two years, and the serving crew is always top notch. The cocktails are consistently great too. So, that goes a long way for repeat business! The food is usually excellent, and a recent brunch was outstanding (see pics). Occasionally, there has been a near miss with too much salt on the Brussels sprouts or other minor infraction like that. All in all, it has displaced Serrato as my "go to" to meet up with friends. I've only eaten outside, so I have no idea what the inside experience is like. Outside, it's a sheltered patio with heaters if needed and a few small tables against the building as well. Bonus for this area in general is that it's a great place to walk around and window shop, and it's relatively close to the Japanese and Rose Gardens (by car).

That said, my experience wasn't perfect. I was accidentally charged the wrong price for my Mexican lager, and it was difficult to get the bartender's attention to have it corrected. It was a busy afternoon since it was the holiday weekend and the day before the Fourth of July, so I understand they had a lot going on. Overall, I still enjoyed my visit and think it's a charming place. I just hope the pricing is a little more accurate and the service is a bit more attentive next time.

Seriously the way they do the waffles in the chicken is amazing. The chicken is like Japanese kaarage style and they made the little waffle bits to perfection. One thing I would not order again is the Vietnamese coffee. It was very sweet and not enough coffee in my opinion. Overall, everything delicious satisfying and would definitely come here again. Two thumbs up and strongly recommended to anyone!!!
