Love this little place, especially as a solo diner, of which there always seem to be a few when I have been. Sat at the bar and had some delicious food and wine with really lovely service

We had a wonderful evening for a private dinner with a special Argentinian influenced menu. Other than the delay in being seated, everything was top notch.

Arden is one of our favorite restaurants in Portland. However, I do have some observations because this visit wasn’t as good as others. The wine list should have more notes along with it. We ordered a bottle of wine and described what we wanted, and it was about $100 and the wine was not described well. Did not enjoy it. Really don’t think you should be leaving that kind of stuff up to servers who have their individual preferences. Again, wine, tasting notes printed on the menu would be extremely helpful and it would be nice to offer some sort of classic California shutter Chardonnay under $100. The pasta was amazing as was the oysters, but the trout was overwhelming because of all the heavy tahini flavors. It seems like the items on the menu have been reduced. Love the ambience about the wine and the food made it less enjoyable.

I simply cannot rave enough about this restaurant! While researching great date night dinner spots, I came across Arden—and when my hairstylist also recommended it, I knew I had to book it. From the moment we stepped in, everyone was incredibly friendly, fun, and welcoming. We chose to sit at the counter and opted for the chef’s tasting menu. We enjoyed delicious mocktails, sampled extraordinary dishes, and savored every moment. Our server was absolutely lovely, and it was such a treat to chat with the chef preparing the appetizers and desserts right in front of us. We even spotted the head chef as he arrived to dine himself! We had the most wonderful time from start to finish and are already planning our next visit. Arden is top-notch—an absolute gem!

Excellent meal with outstanding service. We did the prix fixe and the wine pairing which delivered generous portions and thoughtful wine pairings. Veggie dishes were the stand out. We’ll be back!
