    Chicken meatballs with focaccia bread
    Rachel G.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wine & Growl is a hidden gem in the Raleigh Hills area. A cozy and intimate restaurant that's perfect for a date night or a few drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is super friendly and always makes us feel special when we come in. For food, we ordered the chicken meatballs, brussel sprouts, and the chocolate orange baklava. We were absolutely blown away by the chicken meatballs. They were super flavorful and came with a delicious yogurt sauce that paired so well with their focaccia bread. The bartender kindly made me an orange espresso martini to pair with the chocolate orange baklava. This was a great combo! I also had a spicy margarita that I really enjoyed. I will definitely be returning to try more cocktail and menu items.

    3.5 stars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the ambiance here! Small and cozy and perfect, dim, warm lighting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food seemed pretty fresh and tasty, but nothing to write home about. Service was fine. A small plain cheese pizza is $17 (quite small for the price) and an additional $3 for every topping you add. Good drink selection with a nice and descriptive, yet simple menu.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was surprised at how cozy and well-stocked this wine bar was when I first ducked in for a drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]For one it's in a strip mall off busy Beaverton Hillsdale Highway and the signage is low key so it's easy to miss, and also? It's pretty dang small.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But that's part of the charm even if the furniture is IKEA light and the decor is minimal, unadorned and unassuming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But the bartenders are friendly and will walk you through the fairly extensive wine list (considering) with some wines on tap, some in a glass and some bottle only. The food is interesting and elevated enough to keep your group entertained; I'm a fan of the focaccia as a lovely warm-up and the hummus plate is a nice complement to whatever entree you get. Salads, burgers and pizza make the cut here too. There's table service and they take reservations, which are probably a good idea for larger groups - like I said the place is small (though you can sit at the bar too). It's become regular stop for me, not because it's radically innovative or anything but because it's intimate, has good food and is friendly and flavorful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I just always feel welcome here and sometimes that's more than enough.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Baked chèvre and poke... yum!

    It was a great place to start our night out. The staff was very friendly and even though small it isn't cramped at the tables. The food is okay and the wine/beer selection is a good complement to the food.

Inside is dark and cozy, perfect for a rainy afternoon or evening. My only complaint is there is a lot of wood and all the hard surfaces don't reflect noise so it's sometimes challenging to hear. They have a wonderful assortment of wines and not all local. For me, that's a good thing. Yes I love a Willamette Valley Pinot or a Washington Cabernet, but I get a lot of those when I'm visiting these areas, which I do frequently. At Muse you can enjoy a red from France, Spain, Italy, as well as local. Lots of whites and some bubbles, too. You can do a tasting of three half glass pours of your choice, or order a glass. Some nights they have tastings that they have preselected. Last night, based on Alex's recommendation, after telling him my preferences, I had the 2021 Crozes-Hermitage from Paris. It was a bigger red, but so smooth. Next I went with the Rioja Gran Reserva which was more fruit forward. Another winner. Their cheese and jam plates are fabulous, the cheese especially delicious, and pair perfectly with the wines. Have a feeling I'll be back frequently to this charming neighborhood wine since my friend works out next door, so it's a perfect meeting spot.

    Wine was subaverage and service was worse. Server was borderline rude, not helpful at all…read moreespecially when the wine descriptions are very vague for non- expert wine enthusiasts.

It's about half full on a Friday at lunch. As they're called Canard, there are multiple duck related options on the menu. - Steak tartare: with fried crisps and an interesting bone mayo in the center. It comes with pho accompaniments like lime, spouts, mint, cilantro - Market green salad: with fried quinoa, a pretty big portion - Garlic fries - Steam burgers: 6 for $30: like White Castle meets a McDonald's cheeseburger - Mac n cheese: we got the kids' version, which doesn't have fried onions - Steamed broccoli: the cleanest thing our kids have eaten all week Service was friendly, and food came out pretty quickly. It was a solid lunch and a good excuse to see Beaverton.

The staff was wonderful. Very friendly and accommodating. They have great coffee as you'd expect from a Mediterranean bistro but the owner kept my cup full. They do need Splenda or Stevia.

The only seating available was the bar but hey that's fine with me. If you're a party expect a bit of a wait, didn't look too bad. Ordered their lamb gyro, fries, 8oz beer on the side. The lamb was great, marinated nicely and grilled to perfection. Tzatziki was delicious and complemented the gyro nicely. Tasty and relatively fast (I was in and out in 30 minutes, and it was pretty busy). Fries were limp...single fried, meh. May have been sitting around a bit; unimpressive. In all, great little place to swing through and only a couple minutes off 217/26. Lots of other good stuff on the menu to try next time I'm back.

They have a mocktail here that I thought could not be beat.... It's absolutely incredible... I came in tonight to order my dancing Queen mocktail... They offered instead an off menu. Mocktail for me to try... All I can say is in 44 years. I've never had something so delicious and I am very well traveled!!! I can't tell you the name of it. Y'all can come in and check it out but it does how fresh watermelon in it cannot beat that on a hot summer day. I've been waiting for an establishment like this to show up on the west side for over 20 years. So happy I found Wax social.

    If you only hit one craft cocktail bar on your visit to Portland, make it this one…read more Wax Social is a speakeasy and vinyl listening lounge tucked inside a Best Western in the West Hills.. and I mean that in the best way possible. Super moody lighting, hundreds of framed musician photos covering every wall, warm comfortable seating, and a custom hi-fi sound system that will rearrange your expectations for what a speakeasy bar and listening lounge can be. It's a hidden gem in the most literal sense: no signage on the outside and nothing to tip you off as you enter the building. To find Wax Social you walk through the hotel lobby at 9900 SW Canyon Rd, up a staircase left of the registration desk, and look around until you find a frosted glass door marked "Listening Lounge." Open it. You'll be glad you did. Start with the cocktails. The menu is split between elevated timeless classics and original house creations, and both sections of this cocktail menu can bang. The King of Pain is rum-forward and finished with an orange coconut foam that looks as good as it tastes. The Watermelon Man showcases Japanese gin and elderflower in a refreshing and complex profile that's hard not to love. The Sweetest Taboo is a mezcal drink built around blue maize, red bell pepper, pineapple, and lime that hits that rare combination of bold and perfectly balanced. Light My Fire brings blanco tequila and Ancho Reyes together with habanero bitters for real depth. If you want to wander off-menu, they can handle that flawlessly too. Over several visits I've enjoyed a Paper Plane, Tommy's Margarita, Gimlet, Last Word, Too Soon, and others, all executed perfectly. On one visit, the guy next to me at the bar was visiting Portland from Sweden and ordered a Flip. I've been to a lot of craft cocktail bars and never heard someone order one. Clayton, one of the bartenders, didn't blink. Went right to work making a luxurious Flip from memory that the customer couldn't stop raving about. I was impressed. Clayton is also working on several rum-forward cocktails coming to the menu later this summer - I love rum drinks enough to say that sitting at the bar talking shop and the concepts he's tinkering with is worth a visit on its own. Full mocktail lineup, plus wine, bubbles, and craft beers. Now about the sound system. DJs spin all-vinyl sets of funk, soul, R&B, and deep cuts across decades on a custom hi-fi setup that sounds absolutely incredible. Even when the DJ is in full flow and the music is turned up, you can still hold an easy conversation with a group of six or eight people. I've been there with a large group in the back corner on couches and comfortable chairs and everyone kept commenting on it. The music is present and powerful and somehow never swallows the laughter and conversation happening around you. They clearly built this bar around the music. The food is a genuine surprise for a craft cocktail lounge. Think small plates/tapas in terms of dining style: you come for the drinks and next thing you know you've ordered half the menu, made a dinner of it, and somehow backed into a beautiful evening of food, drink, and music. Must-orders: ahi poke nachos, deviled eggs, braised pork gnocchi. Don't overlook the shaved asparagus and white bean salad with sherry vinaigrette, Manchego, and crispy shallots. Simple and elegant and every bit as good as the more indulgent plates. Steak bites and shrimp are worth ordering too. Bring friends so you can order more and share. Owners Sean and Travis are present most nights, greeting you at the door and checking in at your table. That care shows in everything here, including a staff that knows how to read the room. A few things worth knowing: parking is easy, the location is simple to reach from Portland or Beaverton, and the bathrooms are spotless. Open late on weekends. Whether you're planning a romantic date night in Portland, a special occasion, a group night out, or just a solo evening at the bar with someone who really knows cocktails, this is your spot. Among the best craft cocktail and listening lounge experiences in the greater Portland metro area. You've gotta check it out.
