I migliori ristoranti per conversare in tranquillità a Southwest Portland

Two of us for quick late dinner. The 3 for $21 charcuterie was very good. We chose sheep cheese, goat cheese, and prosciutto from among the numerous options. Generous portions of each, all flavorful. Fettuccine with extra vegetables (custom order). Average plus; the extra vegetables kept it from being ordinary. The pesto flavor was very weak. More pesto flavor and the stars rise. Wife had papperdelle with seafood. It is a spicy dish, so wife asked to make it "half spicy". She thought it was very good. I tasted and agreed. Took a beet salad home for our son, and Tiramisu. Both good, though pretty standard fare. Staff was very attentive and competent. With 20% tip, $120. A good value overall. Would dine here again for a quick competent meal. They also serve cocktails, but we were tired and had to travel a bit to get home.

Third time at Yalla. They have this dialed in! Excellent flavors, nice presentation, comfortable dining room. Service is always "spot on". What impresses me most, is how they handle unexpected situations. We showed up for a reservation (for 4), and they offered a table in the front of the restaurant by the door. Was a little cold and breezy on that day, so we asked for a different table. We were told that unfortunately, none were available, as they had a large party coming in, so many tables had been combined. A minute later, the hostess came back and told me they'd rearrange things for the other party, and offered us a table further away from the door. Very nice gesture - they totally could have just forgotten about it, but they made an effort to be accommodating. Same reservation, we were waiting on one last plate (food is served family-style, so plates come out throughout the meal). Asked about it, and the server told us that she thought it was coming up. She left, and a couple minutes later, the manager came out and apologized for the delay. He acknowledged that they had missed the dish, so he immediately brought it out, with an extra appetizer, and comped them both. Again, could have just brought the plate and not said anything, but they went the "extra mile" to provide an exceptional experience. Will certainly be back.

My husband and I went to this restaurant and it was great we did the tasting menu and the chef and team was super kind I have a shellfish allergy and they did a great job accommodating us. We also had a really great experience with the pairings of wine and the food. Will definitely come here again my husband loved it.

We came to the Stockpot on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. We hadn’t been to the restaurant for quite some time, and we were so pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was lovely, the food was fantastic, and our waitress Ms B Lee was amazing. We started with the crab stuffed mushrooms and Seafood Cocktail and then had the Chicken Cordon Bleu and the Plank Salmon. Everything was so good! And our waitress, she was so great. Her timing was fabulous and she was so friendly. She really made our evening!

Good food and service -- but it was cold with a heat problem in the restaurant, which seemed to make service go really quickly.
