Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Forest Park

Always top notch food and service. Our favorite restaurant in SE Portland.

It was a magical Christmas Eve dinner. My mom and I were so happy to spend time in the beautiful atmosphere. Our server, Chase was friendly and helpful and we were impressed by Madison, the GM.

If I could give this place 8 stars, I would. STOP SLEEPING ON STREET DISCO AND GO NOW! No, stop questioning it, just do it and stop thinking about it. Trust me, it’ll be the sweetest, most delightful surprise of your year. We’ve been here 8 times in the last year and it has yet to disappoint. The cocktails are phenomenal and seasonally charming. The tinned fish is a sleeper hit and is always scrumptious. The food is the perfect combo of high brow/low brow that is exceptionally seasoned, portioned perfectly and tastes like angels made it. Oh, and the staff is kind, chatty in the best way and absolutely has trustworthy opinions - we have never been steered wrong. I’ll write a review for this place over and over again, and it will ALWAYS be 5 stars. Our favorite restaurant in Portland, and truly a ridiculously special neighborhood secret that deserves all the love!

Such a knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant server. Food (I ordered the duck), drink, and dessert were also exquisite. Higgins was top-notch, as usual. We love this place.

This was our second time at Don's and they exceeded our already high expectations from our previous visit. We were there for the Feast of Seven Fishes menu, got a cocktail to start and did the 1/2 pour wine pairing. They batch their cocktails and it's the best Nigroni I've ever had. The menu was filled with familiar seafood dishes prepared in unique ways. Everything was perfect all around. It's rare to find a place that feels as special as Don's. It's our favorite restaurant in Portland, maybe anywhere.
