I don't have photos to show the amazing craftsmanship of each plate because I was mesmerized by the experience. From the moment we walked in the service was impeccable and the passion for the wine and food was brought out at every course. Being foodies we thoroughly enjoyed this experience . The flavors in each dish where well balanced and the wine pairing was on point. We loved seeing the beautiful plating and the attention to ever detail even in the description. Thank you everyone at beast for working hard and making this dinning experience unlike the rest. We will be back soon.
I have been wanting to try Beast for years, and it was everything I hoped it would be. Every course was thoughtful, complex, and delicious. The wine pairing was phenomenal and definitely added to the meal and experience. Few and far between are there meals that make me stop and wonder, “Is this it? Is this the best meal of my life?” This was one of those meals for me. Amazing. Go here. Get the wine pairing.
This is a wonderful restaurant! My daughter said the milk bread on this crab roll was the best she has ever had. The fresh pasta tastes like it is straight out of a cafe in Italy. Wonderful wine list by the glass and bottle selection. To top it off we each had a scoop of fresh custard that was perfect. We highly suggest this great place.
We went here for our anniversary dinner as we wanted something special. Arriving about 10 minutes before our reservation, we scored two spots at the table facing the kitchen. We chose the wine pairing and enjoyed a celebratory (and complimentary!) glass of sparkling wine before the meal started. We were a little worried about the idea of communal seating on our special night, but it ended up being cozy and intimate in our little corner. The food was fabulous, we ate things we’d never tried and loved every bite. I loved the explanations about how the wine paired with the food! By the final few courses I was definitely getting full but made sure to save room for dessert. Such a special and delicious night.
Beast is one of the restaurants that are hard to get a reservation at, and rightfully so! We were lucky to book a table for a Sunday brunch last minute, and enjoyed a surprisingly diverse and creative three-course meal. Both the presentation and taste of the dishes were fantastic, and a set of petit fours was a welcomed addition to the after-brunch coffee.
The menu changes daily, and includes best-in-season local ingredients, prepared and served with great attention to details. The restaurant offers only set menus, which are priced right and let you simply enjoy the experience without worrying about your choice. After trying the brunch menu, we decided to book a dinner at Beast for our next visit to Portland.
100% worth booking the 6 course meal. Everyone was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their craft. Also, you easily get your money’s worth in terms of food. You will not have to worry about leaving hungry or “not getting enough.” Everything is perfectly balanced and well paired. I cannot stress how great of an experience I had here.
One of the more memorable meal of my life. My husband and I had such a great time. We sat at a table with complete strangers and at first was worried, but we met some awesome people. The food was amazing, the wine pairing was superb and we were stuffed!! Highly recommended!!
Best focaccia and creative cuisine, relaxing atmosphere, easy menu. Must try frozen custard and local selected wines.
Great brunch done family style seating and a set menu. Flavors were awesome. Too much pet nat wines for my liking for the wine flight. Should have 2 wine pairings, 1 pet nat and 1 regular.
I’ve eaten at Ripe Cooperative several times this summer, and I’ve had quite a few of their take-out meals. Ripe really is serving some of the best food in Portland right now. Yes, you do pay for the quality, but frankly, it’s worth every penny!
The absolute best single bite of pasta I've ever had, BEAST is a standout even amongst the elite of Portland's culinary scene! From 'Taste and Technique' to creativity and presentation, the entire experience is pure excellence! And if you're lucky enough to snag a reservation when Michelin star spangled guest chefs join Naomi Pomeroy and her amazing team, thank the food Gods for shining their light upon you!
The food was excellent and the wine pairings were great. We caught them on a slow night, so it was just the two of us dining. It was like having a personal chef for a night.
