I really do love Fancy Baby. The location is easy to get to right off I-405 (and I somehow…read moremagically find street parking easily nearby). The interior is super cute: modern, clean lines with just a touch of vintage vibe and not at all stuffy. The wines are what you come here for, and in this area, Fancy Baby excels. I love their wine list: not overwhelming, but not too limiting, and the staff are super knowledgeable and can answer any questions you have. I wish the food menu were a little more diverse, and I do think the price of some dishes is a bit much, but that said, I did love the food I have eaten here. The Prosciutto San Danielle is a MUST if it's on the menu when you go. So salty, sweet, crunchy, and yummy all at once. Pairs so well with a rosé or any of their sparkling wines. The anchovies are a stunning presentation and also a delight to eat. It's a great spot to meet friends or to go out after work. I haven't been here for one of the DJ nights because I'm old and hate loud music while I'm trying to enjoy conversation over wine and nibbles (I'll go to concerts for that), but if that's your vibe, I've heard it's a lot of fun here!

We reserved this place for a Friday evening. It was very intriguing for us since all the wineries…read moreclose by 5 pm and there's a wine bar for us for the evening. The collection of wines was really good and they recommended really good options too. The service and staff were really knowledgeable and nice. There are not a lot of food options to clean the palette for wine tasting or just to generally hangout and have some snacks. Any wine place without a cheese board takes away those additional stars in the review. Overall a decent place to try. But, will I visit again, not by myself until someone wants to try it.

Bar Vivant is a lovely spot for truly authentic tapas, and a large selection of drinks to go with…read morethem. Being able to get anchovies in vinegar, ham croquettes, and a Belgian beer takes me back to some of my favorite travel experiences, and the Pix Patisserie dessert options continue to provide a thrill. I have two quibbles that keep me from adding the fifth star - the Tortilla Espanola (closer to an egg and potato frittata than a Mexican tortilla) is served with a drizzle of red and a white sauces. A well made Tortilla (and this one is very nicely done) doesn't really need any embellishment. I'll try to remember to ask for the sauce on the side next time. The second issue I have is that the servers didn't appear to have received enough training to do justice to the things on the menu. Bar Vivant has a lot of wonderful offerings, enough of them that they really deserve better descriptions and recommendations. Between the drinks, the savory and the sweet options, this is a very special place.

I Love this little gem! They have beers, cocktails and such, but their specialty is most…read moredefinitely their Sherry selection and tapas. Bar Vivant is a place where you can get more than just Sherry, you get an education about the differences, variations and Spaniard regions where the sherry is cultivated. If you are into Sherry Wines, then this is the place for you. It's a "low-Key" spot with a sense of Romanticism. They have a beer garden that serves as a temporary escape from hustle and bustle. The chill vibe allows for you to take your time, sip on your sherry while trying the different tapas, such as pulpo, sardines, ham, croquettes and much more. If you are in the mood for a good dessert with your sherry, well, you are in luck because Bar Vivant is like a "two-for-one". The restaurant shares it's space with Pix Patisserie, the only place in Portland where you should purchase Macaroons! Because it is a chill spot, the service is chill as well. If you are in the area, waiting to be called for a table, I recommend you stop here while you wait.

To speak about Teardrop Lounge, I should probably start with this:…read more Ladies and gentlemen, I present my favorite cocktail bar. Not the best -- I'm not arrogant enough to claim that. I haven't been to every cocktail bar in Portland, and saying something is the best usually says more about your lack of experience than your conviction. But favorite? That I can stand behind. And I want to get that out of the way early, because of the amount of praise I'm about to pour on this place -- fully earned, completely intentional. The biggest crime here is that I only discovered it two weeks ago, after living in Portland for a year. It had been recommended to me countless times, and I ignored it. A mistake. A painful one. But now that I've found it, I don't plan on making that mistake again. I'm not typically an Old Fashioned drinker. In fact, I usually hate them. But somewhere between curiosity and too many episodes of Mad Men, I decided to try one anyway -- fully expecting to confirm my bias. Instead, it completely flipped me. Bright, almost citrus-forward in a way that felt unusual but entirely intentional. Balanced, smooth, just enough burn to remind you what you're drinking without overwhelming it. It was the first time I actually understood the appeal. I'm pretty sure I grew a few chest hairs that night. That alone would've been impressive. But it didn't stop there. The space is beautiful -- clean, intentional, but not cold. The staff are excellent: personable, engaged, and most importantly, authentic. Not scripted, not performative. The kind of people you actually want to talk to, and hopefully, eventually be on a first-name basis with. Now, all of that gets it close to a perfect score. But what pushes it over the edge -- what makes this place stick -- is the White Russian. One of the first drinks I ever had. My dad's drink. Not because of The Big Lebowski -- that came later -- but because it's just always been his thing. And at some point, it became mine too. Typically, when bars try to "elevate" a White Russian, they ruin it. They overthink it. Swap ingredients, tweak ratios, add unnecessary flair. And more often than not, it ends in disappointment. Teardrop does the opposite. They respect it -- but refine it. The coffee liqueur actually tastes like coffee. The heavy cream is properly integrated, not just dumped on top. The vodka -- whatever they're using -- is clean, present, and perfectly measured. There's a subtle complexity to it without losing what makes the drink what it is. It's the best White Russian I've ever had. No hesitation. I've gone back twice just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. If someone asked me what my death row drink would be -- this specific cocktail, from this specific bar, is in the conversation. Easily. Teardrop Lounge doesn't just make great cocktails. It reminds you why cocktails matter in the first place. And that's why it's my favorite.

But as soon as I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised. The interior is beautiful, with a stylish central bar that immediately catches your eye. Although they do serve food, I wasn't very hungry, so I decided to just enjoy a couple of drinks. There are a few dining tables inside if you're planning to have a meal as well.The bartender was incredibly friendly and took the time to chat with me after I asked for a few recommendations. The drinks were excellent, well-balanced, flavorful, and actually tasted like proper cocktails instead of just juice. They definitely didn't skimp on the alcohol either! I'm really glad I chose this place to celebrate. It ended up being the perfect spot for the occasion.

The cocktail menu is fantastic, and if you're curious about absinthe, this is one of the best places to try it. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, sharing the history behind each pour and explaining the different varieties. I especially loved that many of the absinthes are named after famous poets and artists - it adds a fun touch to the experience. For dinner, I ordered the spaetzle, and it was delicious. I also love the vintage mirrors throughout the space, it makes the room feel large and grand.

We got back in to town right at the peak of the parade and lights celebration Saturday. To say it was chaotic would be an understatement. Since roads were closed, the road to my hotel was of course blocked off. So during the first go around we couldn't get to where we needed to be and went instead on a one mile circle which then led is to an area where the guy blocking the road was nice enough to let us through after we told him my hotel was where he was. What a blessing that was indeed because we found a parking spot right across from my hotel. My friend had an hour to kill before she could check in to her hotel since the road was still closed on that side. We lucked out finding two seats right at the bar as soon as you walk in. It was first come first serve and they were busy. Lots of people were trickling in from the festivities to have a drink or two. I got the cucumber cocktail. It was so good I made my friend have a sip. As what usually happens, we ended up making friends with the two ladies next to us who were parade participants representing mardi gras. The hour breezed by so quickly. It was such a fun time I completely forgot to take photos. Hotel guests get 15% off their tab.

The moment we walked in we were not greeted warmly even though we were on cloud nine from just finishing our wedding ceremony. The ONLY person to congratulate us on such a huge life moment was one of the men in the front (I wish I had his name) he had a pony tail and honestly is much better then any of the other workers. His customer service was amazing and he was so much help. When we got to the room and the guests were trickling in we were greeted with unhappy faces. It seemed that we had done something wrong just by showing up for the reservation I made weeks prior. None of the staff wore any branded apparel and it made it a bit difficult to navigate who were employees. When everyone got there Michael informed us of the rules of karaoke and how their location did it. He was rude and seemed upset none of the group of 25 people had been there before. The place was dingy and didn't feel clean. Their premier suite was $180 an hour and there was not even seating for the full group. All the chairs and benches did not have any cushion. For such a high price point we expected much more of an elevated experience. Micheal said that we could order with him or the bar so we decided we wanted to do a group shot for the milestone. All the bars I have ever been to make you take them at the bar so we went up there as a group to get the shots. There was one other patron in the lobby other than my group and the bartender stood on top of the bar and said "you rented the room not the lobby so you need to go back to your room." I asked her if we could take the shots in there and she said "obviously". At this point there had been multiple micro aggressions to my group but we had paid for two hours so we decided to stay. We bought lots of food and drinks and were enjoying ourselves. We were having so much fun in the room that we decided to extend the time for two more hours. At one point my fiancé had went to the restroom and saw the staff in the lobby drinking. This just felt so unprofessional and explained how we were being treated. About 45 minutes before our reservation ended my friend had a bit too much to drink and we found her a ride home. She had thrown up OUTSIDE on the street when Micheal came in and cut the whole group off. He had said it in the most unprofessional way, "we are cutting the whole group off due to someone losing their lunch." It felt so disrespectful and the party was very uncomfortable. After this my husband went to pay our tab so we could leave and Michael told Him he could not pay and needed to get my consent. I felt this was very disrespectful considering he was legally my husband that night. He even said "are you Hailey Owen?" "Then you can't pay." Honestly I don't care who pays my bill but they had no issue with him adding to my tab but they cared about him paying it??? Made zero sense. They said they had to cut us off due to ordering at the bar and not knowing how much we had to drink. If an establishment over serves guesses that is their responsibility. Due to the comment of my husband seeing them drinking in the lobby it makes me wonder if they could not tell those were impaired due to their own impatient. The manager that night was not very nice either and proceeded to berate my friend that was already sick sitting on the curb outside of the establishment. She brought out a broom and soapy water to clean off the sidewalk when there was not anything there. We did end up getting refunded for 45 minutes that we did not use. This just really left a sour taste in my mouth. I have seen other comments claiming they "bully" people and I could not agree more. It really made us feel like it was not money well spent and even though we had bought out the suite for most of the night we were not treated respectfully. This was the worst experience and I wish we would have given our money and business to a better establishment. It takes a minute to say congratulations to the newly wed couple... they could not even do that. It really made me wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that we were a heterosexual couple and if they have issues with that. I just want this review to help others out there and now I know why they had openings and had barely any business when we were there. How you treat people is important and this was a huge miss for Voicebox. I am very very disappointed in the whole experience.
