Best Seasonal Restaurants in Southwest Portland

I’d come here for a nice dinner. Nice lighting and overall ambiance. Good pasta and pizza.

A great new food experience for those who have not enjoyed Yalla previously. If you don’t care for beets or say cauliflower, they way they prepare these veggies is like nothing you’ve had before. Try all those things you never have before & you’ll see why this restaurant has such a great reputation.

Flavorful display of beautiful South American tapas style cuisine! Wagyu steak tartare, grilled octopus, and Brandt farms flat iron steak were among some of my favorites. The cocktails are delicious and beautifully garnished! I recommend the sangria! We will definitely be back to try the next “what the chef is eating” lineup!

Great Food, Attentive Service, and High Value Went on an early Saturday evening and had a fantastic experience. The restaurant is a small venue, but it never felt crowded. Service was excellent—attentive without being intrusive. The staff were highly knowledgeable about the menu, which was impressive. The food was excellent, with great textures and contrasting flavors. Prices were fair for the quality, making it a high-value dining experience. The coat rack is a convenient plus, and walking through the kitchen to access the bathroom adds a cool behind-the-scenes element. Also, the cutlery nice, Pros: •Great food with excellent textures and well-balanced flavors •Fair pricing for high-quality dishes •Attentive service—staff was knowledgeable and not overbearing •Strong wine selection with well-informed recommendations •Delicious mocktails for non-drinkers •Comfortable atmosphere—small venue but not cramped •Coat rack available for added convenience •Unique experience walking through the kitchen to the restroom Cons: •Parking is across the street, which could be tricky if the area is busy Would definitely return for another visit!

Arden consistently delivers amazing dishes, top notch service with a family feel. They do take chances, and occasionally a dish may not be exemplary but when they do they NAIL it!
