- AAaronHawaii •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoHave to try the gnocchi. Cod was perfect and the Arden lemonade cocktail stood out. Very distinct and creative flavors to every dish. Loved Arden!More infoArdenPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Northwest Portland•4.8
- KKurtisPortland / Oregon •11 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoA perfect dinner (seated at counter) at Nostrana. Went on a Thursday - gnocchi night. I usually don’t choose gnocchi, but am now a convert - so pillowy and tender, and the clam sauce I chose was buttery, seasoned greatness. Our server was friendly, warm, and efficient and suggested an alternative wine by the glass that was from next door that was so good we bought a bottle to take home. Consistently amazing, and impressed my husband for date night.More infoNostranaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Southeast Portland•4.7
- LLynnPortland / Oregon •10 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThe Chilean Seabass was excellent, along with the beet salad and the wonderful flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Our waiter was most helpful in making suggestions for my dietary issues. Sitting next to the window, even on a rainy day was beautiful. I highly recommend Portland City Grill for their outstanding service, excellent food, and of course, the view!More infoPortland City GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Downtown•4.5
- JJessicaSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoWe went the day before Christmas Eve and it was the most amazing and memorable experience of a lifetime! We had just found out that my FIL has a very aggressive form of cancer and this was a memory none of us will ever forget. The six of us ordered about 9 HH apps and two entrees and everything was a 10/10! The food was the out of this world, our server was the most attentive we’d ever had, and the ambiance was quiet, exciting, and amazing the entire time. I highly recommend this tapas-style culinary experience of a lifetime!More infoLeChonPrice: Moderate• South American• Southwest Portland•4.8
