Jolie Laide Takeover

Chef Erik will be creating a four-course, family-style menu built around these wines, and you’ll have the chance to order bottles, pairings, and glasses of Jolie Laide wines throughout the evening. $85 per person.

Just go. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the US. The staff took care of me with food and wine suggestions. The food was absolutely amazing and one of the staff said I looked sad when I had finished. I was only sad because I knew it would be awhile before I was back. I can’t speak highly enough about Arden. Go. Enjoy. Repeat.

One of the best dining experiences in Portland. From the greeting at the door and all through dinner we were treated as friends or guests and not as a mere customer. The server knew her food and wine and was friendly and attentive throughout. And the food…a beautiful mix of tastes. Yum!

Took my husband here for his birthday and we had a wonderful experience. This wasn’t our first time here, but we are always excited to come and try new menu items and enjoy the ambiance. The foie gras was the best version I’ve ever had at Arden before and I could’ve eaten my weight in that alone (gross when I say that out loud 🤣)! Thank you, Arden staff, for helping make my husband’s 43rd an incredible evening out!

Ordered the Pork Chop. A bit disappointed. Overcooked, underseasoned. Not sure about the deep fry method, would have been better pan fried. Foie Gras was outstanding!

From the moment she walked through the door the staff was extremely friendly. Had a great table back in the corner as requested. All the food was exceptional, but the pork chop was amazing! Can’t wait to return.

Their unique menu offerings are so well-prepared and absolutely delicious! Tantalizing and well-proportioned courses are a pleasure to enjoy. The staff are well informed and service is relaxed while they look over their guest's needs without being intrusive. With an extensive wine selection, at various price points from "cost-effective" to very special..Arden is an absolute favorite!!!
