Restaurants near Nordic Motel Portland

Great little restaurant on a quaint corner in the Irving Park neighborhood with nice, comfortable ambiance and great service. Cuisine is a gastronomical treat. Highly recommend the beef pappardelle and pear and Gorgonzola platter. This was my first visit and I’ll be back.

Great food, great service. Went here for my fiancé’s birthday dinner and she loved it. Great value for the food you get too.

Every dish was a surprising delight. We ordered the rice table. I wasn’t sure what to expect, and found a feast of delicious and very different foods. The chicken satay redefined that dish for me. The clams with some kind of chewy pork infused croutons was fantastic. The corn fritters were to die for, as was the apple cider donut for dessert. We left both completely stuffed and sure to come back. Our server was lovely and knowledgeable.

We dined in the charming side room where it was very quiet. As usual, the seafood was delicious and inventive, combining interesting ingredients to great effect. We especialy loved the shrimp on glass noodles with cashew samba sauce. Also the grilled uku was done to perfection and was served with several vegetables that were absolutely delicious. Our waiter was attentive but not hovering and the ambience was conducive to conversation. A wonderful evening at what has become my favorite Portland restaurant.

Our server was amazing, attentive and fun, and he is truly the reason we always come back. Rich treats us like family, and is so much fun. The food was incredible, and great drinks as well.
