They don’t have too many vegan options, but the plate I ordered was amazing — rice with baked vegetables and a creamy sauce. So good!
I usually prefer hot soups, but their gazpacho totally changed my mind. Refreshing and flavorful — perfect for a hot day!
The atmosphere is fancy, and the staff were super nice too.✨

We have long been waiting to come to Emerald Line as we live in the area and finally made it in for a nice dinner. The inside is quaint and comfortable with some almost antique charm and nice seating. Felt overall cozy although I will say it was odd to not have a hostess stand as you sort of just walk directly into the space without knowing where to go.
Service was solid and the staff was very nice. Everything was timely and people felt relaxed.
Food wise we were generally pleased with our order with a few things that I thought could be improved, hence the 4 stars. The drinks themselves had potential but the nui nui which both my partner and I got was just too spicy that it didn’t really appeal to either of us. Was hoping for more of a fruity flavor.
The bread was delicious as were the wrapped peaches, though I wish there were more of them for an app. The entrees we enjoyed, and were tasty, but the lasagna felt like a bit more sauce and cheese than actual pasta at times. The flavor was solid but it didn’t have as much actual substance as I was hoping.
Generally as nice evening and a great place to bring parents for a cozy meal. Just wouldn’t rush back personally as we weren’t blown away.

Great place for an intimate dinner for two, four, or more.
I had a mule and substituted in some local gin for the vodka… wow! This one was so good! I must confess to having a second.
I asked for extra marinara sauce on the lasagna and they did not disappoint! This was exactly what I was looking for.
We had dinner with friends and had no trouble hearing each other. Everyone enjoyed their drinks, appetizers, and entrees.

Got take out. Ravioli were layered upon themselves in a cup. They all stuck together. Ruined the experience. Whatever is giving the black licorice flavor; clashes and is gross. Bread for dip absolutely destroyed; how am I even suppose to use those little pieces to get dip. Most of it over toasted and burned tasting.
This was incredibly disappointing.

A friend has relatives that used to live in this neighborhood. Though the relatives have moved, and my friend lives outside the city, he still visits Emerald Line regularly. I’m thrilled that he invited me along for a recent visit.
The brick walls, big windows, attentive service, and comfort food experience all combine to make Emerald Line the kind of place every neighborhood should be lucky enough to have.
Most of the folks at our table had some variety of pasta, though the outlier who tried the North African Plate with lamb meatballs couldn’t be faulted for their choice. Cocktails were delightful, and we had no problem finding a bottle of wine that made everyone happy.
A bonus was the existence of a parking lot, as well as free on-street parking in this neighborhood. I’m looking forward to a return visit.

We had a lovely time here. The cozy vibe, friendly and attentive staff( shoutout to our server EJ for great recommendations and being wonderful overall) made our time at Emerald Line sweet and memorable. We had the ravioli and blueberry butter cake-all delicious. I appreciated that they had fun mocktail options too. Hibiscus dream was a favorite!

Excellent food, I can tell they make the food from scratch with high quality ingredients because it tastes so rich and hearty. Every ingredients flow so well together and each bite is an explosion of flavor. On top of that, the service is outstanding and the waiters are very friendly and attentive. Definitely will come back for more!

Funky but classy bistro in NW Portland. We were greeted by the owner when we were seated, who was genuinely interested in us, as we were from out of town. The spinach dip with lightly toasted sourdough slices was delish. Not heavy or overstated, and with just enough toasting of the sourdough. A very generous “cup” of carrot ginger soup followed, every dish emphasizing a savory flavor profile rather than being overspiced. The North African plate with lamb meatballs is apparently a signature dish, and with good reason. The meatballs are lean and flavorful, with not-too-hot Harisa sauce and perfectly roasted vegetables. Service by EJ was friendly (he wanted know our names!) and delivery of dishes was perfectly timed. This place is a find; we will be back –
