For this review, though, we'll stick to the meat (& bread, cheese, veggies and condiments) of the matter. In short: yes. Very much yes! My wife ordered the Aunt Tillie's Club, which she saw online and was the impetus for our visit, whereas I waffled between the tuna melt and the Aunt Tillie's Special (basically a grinder), eventually settling on the latter. Both of us were in heaven: sizeable portions, fresh bread, just enough condiments, and plenty of toppings to go around! My wife thought she was going to have to take a least half of it home, then changed her mind and powered through, leaving nothing behind! We dined just outside the restaurant proper, on one of the patio tables in the "mall", but there is plenty of seating inside (just not enough to accommodate the rush, it seems), plus a quaint little pub at the back that is easy to miss, but adds another layer to an already charming sandwich shop. We were both so impressed by the entire experience, that we are guaranteed to return, likely sooner than later! Very recommended!

Located in the 42nd street station mall on the left corner as you enter through the main doors…read more This place has a classic vibe to it and deliver strong deli sandwich options. You can build your own sandwich or get the specialty/classic ones. They have indoor seating options. The service was quick and the price was quite reasonable as well. I tried the Tillie's tickler and I'll back to try other options too.

It was my first time here and I drive by this area all the time. I would say it is a little gem. I…read moredid not get to try any of the food or snacks. There is a food cart in the back with Hawaiian goods which I am down to try next time. The service is friendly and acknowledge me when I first got in. The reason why I went to this bar was to check out the vibes if it was too loud or too busy or if it is chill enough to hear conversations with one another. That would be it ! It was quiet enough to have conversations even for a drink with a large group. There is a Photo Booth and a vending machine for nicotine I believe. And there are signs that they have karaoke on Saturdays, which I will have to come back for so this is definitely a spot to check out. I did not give it a full five stars because the parking was not the greatest.

The best thing about this place is the lighting. There is something about the tone that makes you feel like someone turned on a warm lens filter. It just makes me feel relaxed.

We grabbed some BLT sandwiches and were really happy with the quality of them. The sourdough bread was lightly toasted, the generous portion of bacon was crisp, the tomatoes and lettuce were fresh, the the sandwich had the right amount of real mayo too. The bartender was very friendly and efficient, and the food came out pretty quickly. The retro style bar had a fun vibe, low level lighting, and the music was a good mix of rock genres. Would love to come in earlier another time and try their various drink and other options too.

And it turns out it's a vegan secret spot. The "drumsticks" were delicious, sugarcane replaces the bone. Their entry into Portland Slushie Week was one of the best. Only slight negative is the bar railing is too high, and I'm fairly tall. So the food basket is away from your body meaning you spill food on the bar. The hottie tatted bartender was very kind, she started conversation, but not too much.

We were visiting Portland for a few days and happened to find Bistro 23 and we are so glad we did!…read moreThe food was absolutely amazing, every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We ordered the Brick Chicken and Bolognese. You can truly tell they care about quality. The service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel completely welcomed even though we were just visiting from out of town. If you're in Portland, Bistro 23 is definitely a must-visit. We will absolutely be back next time we're in town!

We had dinner there on a Friday night, and there was plenty of tables available. Let's start off with the food. I had the pork chops. Probably one of the best I have ever had. It was cooked just right. Another one of the Foodie Folx ordered the Vodka Pie Pizza, she loved it. The Beet salad was also a very big hit. I of course had the tiramisu for dessert. Excellent. The service is very good. You order at the counter, and they bring out to your table. Oh I want to mention that the Penicillin cocktail is excellent.
