Q Restaurant & Bar

Our first time here and absolutely loved it. Service was wonderful, very friendly, made you feel welcome and appreciated us being there. Even busy they never seemed rushed. Food came out perfectly timed. Loved sitting at the chef table top and interacting with the kitchen. Everything looked amazing and the food we got was delicious. We can't wait to go back!

What a great find in downtown Portland that was recommended by our hotel concierge. Great menu of selections with some really tasty seasonal options. The food was fresh, presented well, and full of flavor. Very attentive and courteous staff who took great care of us and made us feel so welcome. This restaurant was a relaxing atmosphere and you did not feel rushed to eat and leave.

This is the “new” location/re-boot of Veritable Quandary and I was reminded why that restaurant was so fantastic! We didn’t make a reservation so we found a spot at the bar. They were very busy but the service was still great. They were friendly, fast and the food was as delicious as I remembered. We shared the pear salad with honey, pepper vinaigrette, NY strip steak with potatoes au gratin, pumpkin dumplings, with crispy, pancetta and crème fraîche and the lamb meatballs. The bartender was fabulous! The signature drinks on the cocktail menu were not as great as others were raving about but were still good. Already planning our return date night here with a reservation !

The seating at the kitchen window is fabulous! Interacting with the kitchen staff and chef makes it an experience. The waitstaff was attentive, friendly, and fun. The food was complex, delicious, and beautifully plated. My favorite dishes were the bacon-wrapped dates and the desert called "chocolate chocolate chocolate", which was a splendid sampler of several chocolate treats, each delectable!
