Reviews for Q Restaurant & Bar in Portland, OR
First dinner in the Portland area to start my Willamette wine tour weekend and this restaurant did not disappoint. The ambiance... was really nice and I can see why the warm time of year this restaurant being a nice place to visit. The food was delicious. TheSeafood stew was top notch and I found another restaurant with octopus prepared perfectly. I highly recommend stopping by andthis restaurant is $$$-$$$$ in pricing. Read more
Our group went family-style and got 3 appetizers, 4 entrées, and 1 dessert, which turned out to be just the right amount of... food for 3 (very) hungry people. The dishes were delicious, featuring well-matched combinations of ingredients. (See photos andcaptions for more detail.) The cocktail menu has some fascinating twists on well-known classics (along with the classicsthemselves). Overall a good experience. The only thing stopping this from being a 5-star review is service -- though absolutelyno fault of the waiter. It seemed like the place was generally understaffed, and there was only the one waiter working theentire main dining area for most of our meal. Still excellent service, but he had precious little time for each table -- ofwhich there were many. Possibly for this reason (or otherwise), we were also asked to put in our combined appetizers+entréesorder all at once. Read more
Lighting a beacon for downtown Portland, Q offers an experience full of flavour and passion at a very reasonable cost. Service... was attentive and informative and the hard-working, and seemingly telepathic kitchen crew communicated cheerfully as theycreated before our eyes. One not to be missed when in Portland!

This was my first time here and it was as amazing as I had been told. I got the Baby Back Pork Ribs in Oaxacan Mole. The meat... was super tender, and the mole was a beautiful, rich flavor. The meal was overall, amazing. The service was on point. Notannoying, but there when needed and always polite and considerate. The atmosphere was also wonderful. In short, the wholeexperience was fantastic and I highly recommend it. I will definitely be visiting again. Read more
I have been here three times over the years when I travel to Oregon for work or fun. Every time this place has been fantastic.... Great appetizers, the Mole Pork shank this past trip was amazing. The bartenders also do a great job with the cocktails. Can'tsay enough good about this place. Read more
My favorite place for a fancy dinner! I've taken my husband there, his friends, my ex-husband, my mother, my realtor, and one of... my best friends. It's not cheap, but the food and wine are just amazing. It's actually one of the only places where I'll orderalcohol. The desserts are to die for. Parking around there isn't hard, and I've often been able to park right in front. Thestaff is amazing. One waiter complimented my husband on his magnificent beard and remembered us months later. One of thewaitresses had a Misfits tattoo and she was so excited when I recognized it. Just writing this review, I want to book a table.Highly recommended! Read more
In all honesty it deserves a 3.5, entrée wise. The service was the best I've had in a long time. Our waiter helped us through... the menu, and let us know what everything on it was. Great service. However their signature dish (a pricey one at that) left alot to be desired. While very savory and cooked to perfection it was very empty. Compared to the pictures it was a very smallportion. About 2 spoonfuls of risotto, and 3 bites of the braised beef. All very delicious but not filling. The appetizers werethe real show stoppers. From the pork rinds to the bacon wrapped dates it was all delicious. The only thing on the starters menuthat feels out of place and overpriced is the Warm Baguette, it was mid. The drinks, both cocktails and their non-alcoholicmocktails were splendidly mixed and balanced. The rack of lamb, a 55 dollar dish was essentially 2 rib bones with about 2 ouncesactual meat on them. Will definitely return to see if all of this was a one off. But the service, drinks and ambiance areexactly what you would want on a night out for a nice dinner. Read more
I had a great business dinner here tonight. The hostess was very friendly, our server was very good and walked us through the... entire menu. Drinks were great and my hanger steak (pictured) was absolutely amazing! Read more
