Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Portland

Just another wonderful dinner and experience at nostrana. The hosts and servers were so nice and attentive. The food was spectacular. Save room for dessert. Come back often.

We had a wonderful dinner. Our table was perfect, our waiter was awesome. The food was wonderful as always. This is our go to restaurant when entertaining out of town guests.

Always a great place to bring out of town guests so they can appreciate Portland ds food scene.

Kachka has been on my bucket list for years, and it absolutely lived up to my expectations. Growing up in the same Russian-Jewish community in the suburbs of Chicago as Chef Bonnie, the experience felt deeply personal—like a nostalgic trip home, but elevated in every way. The menu was not only fun but incredibly thoughtful; you can tell so much care went into curating both the dishes and the space. The service was fantastic, and I have to give a special shoutout to one of the food runners who delivered each dish with an intensity that made the experience even more memorable. My favorite part of the dinner was sampling the different flavored vodkas. The birch flavor was phenomenal and stood out as my favorite, with horseradish coming in a close second. And do not miss the apple dessert—it tasted like something my mom used to make, but somehow even better. Kachka is everything I hoped it would be and more. I can’t wait to come back!

Our divine waiter went above and beyond. He graciously pointed out all the vegan options on the menu and his suggestions were spot on. After the meal, I got caught by a stopped train and a hot cookie was presented to me. A memorable experience for sure!
