   Incredible! The best tasting fish and presentation I've had since living in Portland. The service was impeccable too. They're such top tier staff and know their menu and ingredients front and back. Thank you for such a wonderful evening and meal!

   We love this restaurant everything is prepared so well, from the blinis as appetizers to the salads to the mains to the desserts. It's a great place to go for novel approaches to fish and meat. We eat there several times a year and have never been dissappointed

   Although I specified bday in our reservation-sadly no acknowledgement. Sturgeon was excellent, lamb also good. Nice size wine pours. Caeser salad very fresh, crisp and tasty. Comfy big leather chairs in dining room off to left was nice.

   A hit and miss night. The starter plate of caviar was expensive but excellent. The Caesar salad was good, also a good price. The lamb chops were tough plus more gristle than then norm. The Cioppino had a good variety of seafood and a wonderful flavor, likely saffron, but it was quickly overcome by way too much jalapeño peppers that were thrown into the mix. The remedy of adding aioli worked to dull the heat, but the original flavor was lost. The service was very good, enough to coax us back.

   This was the BEST meal I've had in 3 years! The food was outstanding and delicious. From the pate, to the mahi mahi finishing with the Markers Mark Whisky ice cream profiterole, I was blown away with this restaurant. I guarantee you will love this dining experience!

    Had been wanting to try this restaurant for some time and we weren't disappointed. Excellent cioppino and gravlax with pickled fennel appetizer. Menu changes daily. Many of the small tables are in nooks and alcoves so offer some privacy. Interesting decorative glass (lamp shades and wall plaques). Intend to be back before long.

    We really like this restaurant. Great, fresh seafood. The oysters on the half shell were very fresh and very tasty. Good selection. I had the ling cod entree -- get that if it's available when you visit! The wait staff is friendly and informative. They were happy to let us taste some wine to help us determine what we wanted to order. We'll be back for sure.

    several friends have been raving about this restaurant for years…and we finally had time to experience. we were very unimpressed on all levels. the seating area outdoors was noisy, dimly lit, we saw blankets but were not offered any, the staff was rushed, did not take time to explain dishes and was not friendly at all! we were shocked

    Had an amazing New Year’s Eve dinner for 2. House was packed, and servers were very busy yet still able to provide friendly, prompt service. We had the best NY strip, cooked to perfection, beautiful mussels and fresh oysters. For a late seating on one of the busiest nights of the year, our experience was second to none. Major credit to the staff. 5 stars.

    We went for the cioppino - which is fantastic, full of fennel and fish - but saw other dishes served at other tables - fish and lamb - which also looked great. The fries were great, as well as the Caesar salad. We had a pernod ice cream for dessert, which although our server warned us in advance, did not harden and “stand up” properly, still was very tasty. Good service. Reasonably priced - including the wine list.

    Wife, son and me. First time here. Very experienced and critical diners. Our take: very ample portion sizes. Overall, good quality with some unevenness. Wife's oysters were fresh and tasty - two varieties. Son's and my french fries were very good. We ordered one order each. Could easily have done one and had plenty. Huge plates of fries. Wife and son's fish was well cooked, wife's slightly overdone on one surface. My NY steak was very flavorful with a nice Bordelaise sauce. However, a bit on the tough side. Probably a choice rather than prime cut. My basil and phyllo shrimp and noodle dish was a bit bland though the shrimp seemed fresh and flavorful. The crust on the dish was overcooked and definitely detracted from the dish. The noodles were well prepared and cooked precisely. Wife and son's salads were both very good, fresh, diverse and flavorful. My chocolate toffee ice cream was very dense and smooth, but the toffee and chocolate were not prominent flavorings. Wife was disappointed with her almond cake, expecting more spicing and chunked apple. Son was also disappointed with his profiteroles, though that may have been more from not fully understanding what profiteroles are normally like. They looked ok to me. Service was good. We brought our own wine, but son wanted a cocktail. Waitperson recommended a pink gimlet. It was delicious. Service attentive and competent. Bar looked active. Overall a nice space, just a bit on the loud side. Total was $235 for the three of us. We will probably go again someday. Room for improvement, but overall pretty good now without faux formality.

    We have always enjoyed their fish-focused menu & creative assemblages of their mains & sides. This meal was no exception; fresh oysters, cauliflower soup, striped bass for him & sturgeon for her. Almond cake with warm apple compote for desert. Yum-ee! Cocktails & a glass of local Pinot Noir too. Not just a neighborhood spot, a destination.

    The food was excellent! I enjoyed the flavor combination for the entrees. Very creative. I will definitely come again. 2 things i would improve on are that I thought the food was almost too greasy, and, the waitress could have been more involved & interested in speaking with us about the dishes and flavors.

    We have been dining at our neighborhood gem, Cabezon, regularly since it opened. The seafood dishes are fresh, creative, and delicious. The chef’s cioppino is one of the best we have had. Salads, appetizers and dessert are always enjoyable. The cocktails are well crafted, and they offer a nice selection of wine by the bottle or glass. Service is always friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Cabezon is great for a casual meal or a special occasion. If you dine at the bar, you can watch the magic happening in the kitchen.

    We dine here regularly. Some things are consistently excellent (phyllo-wrapped shrimp, cioppino, profiteroles), while other are (IMO) less so (pork chop is bland, the curried potatoes that accompany the lamb aren't great). The menu doesn't change often, so we find ourselves ordering much the same thing each time. Perhaps this is why we haven't enjoyed our last couple of visits as much as the many previous ones. I hope they freshen the menu soon.
