Quaintrelle

A delightful eating experience and wonderful service. Initially, I was hesitant to do the tasting menu because I was so underwhelmed by a similar style restaurant in Portland. Needless to say, my expectations were met and exceeded. My wife and I got 5 courses, & I wish we had gotten 7 or 9. Courses were well balanced, complex but not overly complicated. Great place to introduce young kids to options and dining experiences they may not have had yet. Our waitress was pleasant and had lots of personality. I look forward to returning with friends and family.

Where to begin? We found this spot looking for ‘most romantic restaurants in Portland’ - and it delivered. Located in a peaceful, quiet area, the ambiance of the outdoor seating set a welcoming tone. The staff were so warm and personable, expert guides to navigate the fabulously diverse menu. We ordered 4 a la carte options + dessert, which was a perfect amount for two people. This is an excellent date night / anniversary spot - the presentation of each dish is so colorful and creative. My only feedback of something to change would be that the music selection - a trance-y, loud mish-mash that felt out of step with the rest of the vibe - could be improved in the future. Otherwise, already plotting our next visit!

Highly recommend! Fresh, high quality and incredible flavor in every dish. In speaking with the staff, they get all their ingredients locally at the farmers market so the menu often changes. I did the a la carte menu but they have a tasting menu with options for 5/7/9 plates. My waitress mentioned it includes dishes not listed on the a la carte menu so when I come back, I'll definitely do the tasting menu! For 3 plates and a mocktail it cost ~$105 after taxes and tip but having been here now, I'd definitely do the tasting menu which starts at $105. Appetizer: Oysters/nuac cham/pear/hibiscus/sambal Entree: black cod/cabbage/jimmy nardello/almond/miso Dessert: "Under pressure" - baklava/kulfi/compressed apple perfect portion size for a dessert Drink: A delicious mocktail the bartender made with non alcoholic rum, ginger beer, bitters, grapefruit and something else soooo yummy

Dining here is always beautiful in flavors and plating with constantly changing plates based on what's in season and the cocktails are incredible. The vibe here is an elegant escape whether dining indoors or in their bamboo forest back patio. I don't know what they do with their focaccia but I can't resist getting it every time It's like crack Features: Proof of vaccination required to dine

We’ve only visited for happy hour having one round of cocktails and a few small plates. The space is nice but the “bar” only has three seats. There are two large outdoor heated seating areas. The cocktails and bread and oysters were all superb. I look forward to coming back for dinner, having as many courses as possible.Recommended dishes

Great food and service and worth the price. It's a small place so you'll need reservations. The drink parsing is great and they give a lot of alcohol me and my girlfriend shared one and it was more than enough!

My partner and I came in for a late Valentine’s Day celebration and had a great experience. We enjoyed high quality food, fun cocktails, an exciting atmosphere, and respectful service. We got the 7 course tasting menu, and were very impressed with 5 of the courses. 2 were good, but we just weren’t wowed by them. I have a shellfish allergy and they accommodated it very well, cleverly substituting a scallop with a parsnip, which ended up being my favorite course. I also loved the focaccia and chanterelle mushroom dish, and will be dreaming about the house tapioca for weeks to come. The hamachi was a tasty cut, but the pomegranate vinaigrette paired with granny apples was too tart for my taste. The chicken Kiev was a bit bland and didn’t excite us. The servers were all very knowledgeable of the food and attentive to tables. I could tell they were passionate about the food they were serving, which adds a lot to the experience. Will definitely be returning soon! Dietary restrictions: Accommodated my shellfish allergy.

One of my favorite meals over the last 2 years and as good as the two Michelin starred restaurants I ate at in Las Vegas last week. We had the 5 course tasting menu and regretted not getting the 9 because everything was so delicious. The wine pairings were on point. Service was excellent. Note: you must provide proof of vaccination to dine here.

The food, the vibe, the drinks were amazing! My wife and I enjoyed the 7 course dinner and we were so happy with the quality of food, portions generous, but not sickeningly so, and the service. We each had a cocktail and a glass of wine and a la carte vs the drinking menu, because we didn’t want to overindulge. Price was high, especially for Portland, but worth it for a special occasion or just to really treat yourself to non stuffy fine dining. Only nit, I ordered truffle with my ravioli and was disappointed at the sparse amount that was grated vs thinly sliced, as I would have expected given the cost. My wife ordered hers without truffle and we couldn’t discern a material difference. Looking forward to going again tho!

Everything was outstanding. To call Quaintrelle a neighborhood bistro is perhaps a slight injustice. Sure, that terms matches the atmosphere, but the food is fine dining, Michelin worthy. We ordered a la carte and shared about 6 plates amongst the table, which proved an exceptional value for the 4 of us.
