Reviews for Bistro 23 in Portland, OR
UPDATE 7 months later: So if going back at the next opportunity to visit again isn't the best review you can give I don't know... what else I can say! Was NOT disappointed! food was just as good, service was just as friendly and I cannot believe at 6:45pm ona Friday night that the place was not packed?! In fact there were several empty tables. Portland, you are missing out if you arenot frequenting this outstanding establishment! Original review: Wow!!! Amazing food! Super friendly staff! Great atmosphere!Fast service. Food really was exceptional! If we are back that way will definitely stop in again! Thanks for a great meal andwonderful visit! Read more
Food was outstanding. Great flavor, portions were large. Service was superb. Great ambiance.
Bistro 23 makes little sense to a local when thinking about its location but it makes all the sense in the world to someone who... flew to Portland who is looking for quality food near the airport, or near their airport hotel, or on the way to the airport.Thankfully this local lives nearby and the food here has been great on every trip. The burrata, the pizzas, the potatoes, thedrink menu, etc. The food is shockingly good, the staff incredibly friendly, and the indoor and outdoor seating spaces are ampleand comfortable. It?s a bonus to sit on the patio and watch planes land. If this restaurant was closer in to the city it wouldprobably do amazing but I?m also very content to have it stay right where it is just a few minutes from my house. Think of it asa well kept secret and then come try it and tell all of your friends. Read more
Fantastic experience. Stopped in for the first time with only about an hour to eat, and was able to be in-and-out within 45... minutes and not feeling rushed. Service was fantastic, food was amazing, and the atmosphere was exactly what I wanted. Read more
I met my husband and daughter for lunch because they work in the area. We were looking for a sit down place and this place was... recommended. You walk in and order - then find a seat - it was crowded & loud but it was also Friday at noon. Limited drinkoptions but a number of different types to choose from. We ordered food and sat down. Food arrived after a wait (again notsurprising because it was busy). My choice - chicken Parmesan sandwich with chips was proportionate - I loved the red sauce. Myhusband pick the ?Ham & Avo? sandwich with chips (I didn?t try because I?m not a fan of avocado) & my daughter got the brickchicken. Presentation was spot on and I was dying to get a bite of those potatoes but when I did - I was disappointed as theywere cold. The chicken it self - which was piping hot - had great flavor. Overall it?s a very chic place in an area you wouldn?texpect. Give it a try Read more
I was looking for a quality eatery near the airport and found one! I was impressed immediately when I walked in. Very clean and... you have options to sit inside with multiple dining rooms, out front or on the patio. I had a special request today, eatingonly meats. Angelo was more than happy to accommodate my needs. The staff there were great and I was impressed with the overexperience. So I enjoyed the Pork chop, the Brick Chicken as well as the grass fed Bistro Burger. Everything was cooked toperfection today. The burger was medium rare, the chicken was seasoned nicely and the pork was phenomenal. I liked everythingbut give the nod to the pork chop as my favorite. I highly recommend this place. Come out and support your local businesses! Read more
Bistro 23 is the nicest place in the area for dinner! The ambiance is wonderful, inside and out. The patio is very relaxing with... iron troughs for planters and little lights hanging on the trellis. We had the The Pig in the Woods pizza and it was great! Read more
The bolognese was awesome! The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce was perfectly balanced. I ate it all! My mom enjoyed... her burger as well. The cookie was tasty but could?ve been more gooey for my taste. Overall, a great little spot! Read more
