Best Lunch Restaurants in Pearl District

Great experience! Bay Area family visiting Portland and who what of thought… chef and staff were incredible. Food was spot on and the stories along with pairings were exceptional to the experience. Can’t wait to share with others, we will definitely be back. Kudos to Republica, excellent.

First time visiting Jake’s Famous Crawfish and on Valentines Day no less. It was a very warm and welcoming experience. The food was perfect, as was the ambiance and the wait staff. Initially, due to our understanding of the restaurants long history, we weren’t sure what to expect. Perhaps things were going to feel outdated to us. This, however, was not the case. If anything, the rich history adds to the wonderful mystique and overall experience. Excellent all around and we couldn’t be happier about our visit! Excited to return soon!

This is my favorite place to eat at anytime we are in Portland! I love the atmosphere of the pearl district location! We come here very often and always can’t wait to go back. My favorite is their chicken and dumplings. It’s so flavorful and warms your soul. My husband’s favorite is the chicken and waffles, so much flavor in the chicken and with a sweet potato waffle it just comes together so well. You won’t regret eating here!

The meals where perfectly timed and the service was top notch. Food tasted so good. They had this very romantic menu and environment. We will be returning for future date nights. We will also be considering them for catering. Our wedding coming up.

We had reservations and were sat immediately. Lackluster service; not horrible, but not attentive. The menu choices, appys, salads, and pizzas were quite delicious and well made. Not excessively noisy, overall a pleasant noise level. The restaurant has nice lighting and a warm feel. Not inexpensive; however, reasonably priced considering what we got for the money. We would return.
