Everything we tried was yummy!6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMPortland dining monthMy wife and I tried this as our first example from Portland Dining month. Area makes me wish we lived nearby. Food was great and wine list was very good (especially good list of Italian wines). My wife had dessert and enjoyed the panna cotta very much.6/5/2013 12:00:00 AMContinues to be top-notchI have eaten at Tabla for years. The staff starts the experience out right every time with a sincerely welcoming attitude. Having a wine cellar, I always bring a bottle and the corkage situation is always handled well, not so at every restaurant. In fact the interest the staff shows in the wine makes one want to share. The wait staff seems very savvy, they know how to see the diner's pace and match it. They check back in at appropriate intervals. The food is always well prepared and of very high quality. The pasta is some of the best in Portland.6/5/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of the bestThis is our 4th time here and Tabla never disappoints. The menu is never too large but has a variety of excellent choices. Very moderately priced. We will be back for a fifth.5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMA memorable dinnerWe had a delicious 3 course dinner for a fair price. There were many intriguing options and it was difficult to choose. I especially enjoyed the gluten-free pasta. It was the best I have ever eaten and made "in house" with careful attention. This restaurant was a very good neighborhood place with much better than average food.5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat eating experience!Tabla was recommended by a friend and we were not disappointed! The table wine was very good as was the varied and very tasty crostini. The beet and fennel salad delightful and light. The pasta dish was so flavorful yet not heavy. The panda cotta was beyond wonderful. My husband and I will be returning soon!5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMFrom food to service to pleasantFrom food to service to pleasant space.....this was a wonderful dining experience to celebrate my wife's birthday.5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent service and as usualExcellent service and as usual the food was perfect.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMNeighborhood gem!Tabla is an amazing neighborhood bistro that never fails to delight with its locally source, fresh and exquisitely prepared offerings.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful Date Night!Made our way here on a Thursday evening and loved it. Food was great - we had the fish and a pasta dish. We were seated close to the kitchen bar and watched the chef (owner maybe?) prepare the food. It was fascinating. We chatted with him as we were leaving and he couldn't have been nicer and gave us cooking tips.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMExpensive but great tastingExpensive but great tasting food. The full sized portions are good for one person.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMConsistently greatThird time here and consistently everything great. The salads this last time stood out as they are now harvesting from their spring garden. Our kids are somewhat adventurous but do take some winning over and again each time they have enjoyed everything fas we ordered 3 of the three course dinner options so we could try a bit of everything. Happy kids and adults--no need for kids menu!!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWe very much enjoyed sittingWe very much enjoyed sitting at the bar where we could talk to the chef andwatch the preparation of our delicious dinner !!!4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMthis place never disappoints.this place never disappoints. service and food always well above average3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMI really thought the foodI really thought the food here was outstanding -- and the $30 three-course dinner deal turns out to be a huge bargain. I was seated in the large-ish dining area near the kitchen, which is all chrome and gorgeous, and got to watch my food being prepared, and it was prepared as well as at any of the fine dining establishments in this city, with a great amount of care given to both taste and presentation. My server was accomodating and informative without being all up in my face, and I'm quite impressed with the balance she struck. I was made to feel very welcome here, and know I'll be taking friends visiting the city here as a showcase for what Portland has to offer.3/6/2013 12:00:00 AM
