All the dishes we had were either not cooked well, not seasoned well, not paired well, or literally burned. I can see their effort in plating the food, but ultimately it cannot make up for the lack of culinary skills.
Foie gras: very pretty plating. However. The foie gras itself was extremely salty. The pickled mustard seeds were basically flavorless. The mango puree was too sweet. When pairing all together, you get flavors that conflict each other, not complementing. I feel bad for the duck/goose that died for this dish.
Roasted squash: the squash itself was not seasoned, pairing with chili oil is weird for me personally. The mushroom was also plain to taste.
The burrata: the plate looks colorful and busy. I’m not sure how they intend for people to eat this, because the permissions are chucked not sliced. The texture of the persimmons and pomegranate easily over power the burrata. And the sweetness of these fruit does not go well with burrata, as they make it overly creamy.
Goat cheese gnocchi: the gnocchi is nice and soft. However this dish is soaked in oil which makes it unappetizing. The excessive chives added an unpleasant pungent taste.
Rainbow trout with burned mushroom: this dish really is the final nail on the coffin. Granted, the fish was seared well with crispy skin and soft inside. However, the mushrooms were downright burned. We have no idea what’s going on with the soft boiled egg and fish roe. Nothing on the plate was seasoned, I guess you are suppose to eat with the sauce, the the sauce does not have good flavor either. Honestly, we didn’t feel very good after this dish.
We will not come back and will not recommend people to this restaurant for dinner. The atmosphere was nice, the service was ok – no one really checked in with us on how things were going. We learned that wine is their thing so maybe it’s a good place for wine tasting with light snacks. Just stay away from the food.

If you love audience, great experience and unique dishes without filling you overate, this is place for you!
You need to make sure you reserve your table prior coming, it’s a small restaurant with load of workers so you never wait for anything. Your glasses always full with water or wine, you never wait for another dish, they are excellent on keeping you entertained, informed about mane! It’s another level restaurant, food, and service. Reminds me Europe experience. Not for mediocre crowds. Those people that gave one star, they obviously have no idea what they are talking about. Nitch was absolutely exceptional. Thank you for the best experience in Portland.

No words can fully describe how good the food was. The flavors were intricate, with hints of candied orange here and a touch of nuts there, elevating the foie gras to new heights. The attention to detail in how different ingredients were combined created a symphony of flavors that danced across my palate, making each bite a pleasure to the taste buds. Everything was delicious, and the Bavette was so good we had to order two servings.

We had chef’s choice menu which was $75/p. All the dishes were great and homie style (maybe we sit at the chefs counter ) , I would like to recommend this place to anyone who prefers to have some different food experiences.

Overall a good experience, although we left hungry and came home and ate leftovers. This was disappointing after spending $130. We ordered 3 items up front not knowing how the size portions would play out. The plan was to order more if we were still hungry. We were still hungry but it took soooo long for the food to come out that we had to go. We had already been there an hour and a half. The drinks and food that we did have were very good. The citrus salad was probably our favorite.

If you haven’t been, DO NOT WAIT ANOTHER MINUTE! You will not be disappointed. Arden is a truly exceptional Portland restaurant. A warm and knowledgeable team, and food that feels fresh, inspired, and deeply intentional. Every dish is exciting and unique, and the care behind each detail really shows. Their wine knowledge really shines thoughtful recommendations for pairings that could not be more perfect. I’ve been many times now and they have always hit it out of the park! Love love love!

Incredible food, wine, and service! Every single bite was perfect. The presentation was stunning and everyone was very professional while still relaxed. This is my new favorite date night spot!

Randomly selected Arden for a solo dinner while on business and was pleasantly surprised with the impeccable execution. Ordered a la carte, but would do the prix fix next visit.
Nearly perfect meal; only mistake was a forgotten order, but food arrived so quickly that it was minor in the end. Fun to sit at the counter and watch the kitchen team, everyone looked very comfortable and nothing ever sat at the pass.
Wine recommendation well received, was never left alone for long, and I still can’t stop thinking about the sensational squash sage pomegranate gnocchi.
Will definitely be back.

Fabulous food and really amazing wines. Sat on the patio for my birthday dinner and enjoyed the prix fixe, which included a snack plate, four courses from the menu, and a dessert. I especially loved the smoked olives, the burrata with apricots and macadamia, and the spaghetti. I also really loved being able to sample the wines and find new treasures from local vineyards. The service was great and I appreciated how knowledgeable the staff was about the wines in particular. Overall, it was a great night and I look forward to returning.

Really enjoyed my visit – sat at the bar as I was dining alone but didn’t feel lonely with everything going on in the semi-open kitchen.
The prix fixe menu and wine pairing are the way to go, for sure. Amazing value!
I will say that while many seem to commend the wines, I felt that the wines for the pairing were fine but nothing to write home about. Maybe I was just saturated after several days of travel, maybe I’ll find out next time life takes me to Portland.
Service was attentive and friendly, but them wearing masks (no judgement here) and with the background music and noise it was sometimes hard to understand them.
