The grilled pork chop was delicious and tender. The side of grilled broccolini was also delicious. The Pig in the Woods pizza was very tasty. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Service was prompt and professional.

The food was really good. I expected a slightly different restaurant by it was a little bit more downtown Portland where you order before you sit but they do bring you your food so you’re not just standing there. The food was absolutely amazing. In all honesty I would’ve loved more from the chef and More of the restaurant vibes. the Bolognese pasta dish potato appetizer, along with the brussels sprouts and a small sausage pizza that paired with two drinks was about $60 not bad for two appetizers to entrées and two drinks..
Great find near PDX airport. Typically I avoid places where you order at the counter and then food is brought out to you but Bistro23 does it so well that it was actually a nice convenience.
Loved the little outdoor patio and the overall vibe. Food was great and staff were wonderful. Highly recommend and we will be back!

Bistro 23 is an excellent restaurant nestled in an industrial area not far from the Portland Airport. There is ample parking and seating, though we visited in the late afternoon on a Saturday so it may be different during peak hours.
For those unfamiliar with this kind of establishment you order at the counter upfront when you are ready and then are seated at a numbered table. They do not offer reservations and seat based on a first come first serve basis.
I got the brick chicken which was fantastically done, the crushed garlic potatoes that came with it were unique and left me wanting more.
For drinks they have an extensive list of local wine and beer, and a few cocktails. I tried the Secret Handshake which was a bit orangey for me and not very strong. My girlfriend got the College Radio which was better but was also not a very strong drink.
Overall the food, service, and atmosphere where excellent, though the cocktails were a tad underwhelming. We would come back again to try more of their food!
First time here. Took a recommendation on what to order. The Brick Chicken was excellent. Hot and crispy to the last bite. The fried mashed potatoes were full of flavor.
Will definitely go again if I get the chance to next time I am in Portland. Thank you
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!
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, eating only meats. Angelo was more than happy to accommodate my needs. The staff there were great and I was impressed with the over experience. So I enjoyed the Pork chop, the Brick Chicken as well as the grass fed Bistro Burger. Everything was cooked to perfection today. The burger was medium rare, the chicken was seasoned nicely and the pork was phenomenal. I liked everything but give the nod to the pork chop as my favorite.
I highly recommend this place. Come out and support your local businesses!
Random find. Very fresh and delicious! Great menu choices. Prices were great too! Ordered small margherita pizza, grilled broccollini, grilled polenta cake.
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 on a Friday night that the place was not packed?! In fact there were several empty tables. Portland, you are missing out if you are not 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 and wonderful visit!
5 stars due to the incredible food. Service was somewhat lacking. Despite that, I'd give it 5 stars.
While friendly, it seems they forgot about us for the most part after we received our food. It also took nearly 40 min for someone to come by, and I could request a drink refill. As well, didn't like paying and tipping at the time of order instead of after the meal like a normal restaurant. STILL... the food was incredible!!! The Pig in the Woods pizza was loaded, and baked to perfection, it was absolutely delicious and one of the best I've ever had. The brick chicken was fantastic as well, flavourful, tender, and memorable.
I'd definitely recommend the food here.
