The food was good. To start I had fried smelts, they were delicious, but pricey. We make them every Xmas, so I know the cost. He had the meatballs. They were good. Dinner I had Rabbit Paella. It was decent. He had the filet, he said it was ok, but tiny. I think for the price point they need to step up the game. Service was great! Our drinks were great! It was over $300 for 2 people, which is great of the food is outstanding, but...

Impressed with taste and quality of food. It’s nice to have 5 people at the table. Everyone orders something different and you can try so many different things. Great for tapas tasting. We got 9-10 tapas and I loved every single one of them. My favorite were deep fried anchovies, grilled octopus, Brussels sprouts, steak bites, ceviche and calamari. Everything was at least one level above what you typically expect from that dish. Tender, flavorful, great presentation.
For main course - seafood paella, filet mignon and lamb chops were the best. Next time we go - I don’t know which one to choose from these 3 choices, they were all so good.
With so many restaurants cutting corners and offering mediocre food for premium prices this was a pleasant experience of flavorful good quality food. True 5 star experience. Thank you.

I went on a splurge of a night with my son we had made reservations on the way but we arrived 30 minutes prior to that. The wonderful hostess was able to accommodate us and got a different table ready so we can be taken care of earlier. Not only was the food amazing but the staff was wonderfully kind I even did a whoopsie and dropped my glass of water and they came and cleaned it right up with a smile. Haven’t had such great food in a long time coming from the hospitality industry sometimes I come off as a harsh critique but kudos to the chef and back of the house working hard to make nights like tonight memorable for guests.

Spendy but delicious! I recommend getting a reservation, if you don’t they seat you in the seats by the door.
They were definitely short staffed but still nice.
My friend and I ordered 3 tapas and 2 mocktails, it was pretty pricey for a small amount of food but very good.
The ceviche was very good as were the steak bites. Melt in your mouth good. Will definitely come back to try the paella.

We had a fabulous meal at Can Font. Every sauce was fantastic, from the patatas bravas to the romesco sauce on the veggies, the sauce for the albondigas, to the sherry and quince reduction on the brussel sprouts. Seriously - SAUCES!
It was a truly fantastic - the salads were a revelation as well. The kale and squash salad was a standout.
We didn't even make it to the entrees, we kept going back for more tapas. Our gluten free and vegetarian family members had great options.
Great service, bustling spot, fabulous food!

Hill steak bites were phenomenal. Paella was way too salty and more like risotto...

A beautifully little restaurant to enjoy a wide variety of tapas. Our group of 14 was taken care of. We ordered some of everything and it was all delicious. The service was great! Our server was great!
The kitchen itself is on point. It's not the biggest by any means, but it flows well. The chefs and staff were awesome, cranking out dish after dish. The kitchen is also open to the floor, which makes you feel close to the action. I enjoy that.
I noticed the manager making frequent trips out to the floor. Asking, inquiring, and making sure everyone in the place was satisfied.
I will say, our group in total was under dessed. But despite that, we were welcomed with a smile and without any second looks. No judgment there! Very friendly staff. The restaurant is modern, elegant, and cozy. It would be a great place for a date.

Great Spanish cuisine in downtown Portland, specializing in tapas, made to order paella and great drink menu.
Noticed the consistency of Paella is best in the larger pan serving.

Had a good experience here, good portions of food for the price though some items were a little under seasoned. Our server was ok, but it was a little bit busy at the time we went. I made reservations prior and was seated after 5 minutes, but our table was in a terrible spot. We were seated next to a big pillar in the center of the restaurant and felt very cramped- our street view was blocked completely :(
