    We had the best meal here in our long weekend trip to Portland. The food was top notch! I had the Hawaiian tuna and my husband chose the Ling Cod. The service was just right, not too pushy not too quiet.

    Cabezon’s vibe is warm, inviting, beautiful aesthetic. Like your favorite neighborhood restaurant just slightly elevated. But, as the choice (out of infinite phenom PDX options) for my special birthday dinner, unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. My cocktail was neither complex nor drinkable (over the top sweet). The dishes were inconsistent. The Mussels Frites were exquisite. Plump, juicy, with a complex, exceptional broth. The lamb received a solid B+. Cooked perfectly. But, it lacked that melt in your mouth tenderness and I found the jus reduction a little too sweet. The halibut chicks were disappointing. The morels and vegetables on which they were served were delicious. But the halibut was adry and so over salted that we could not finish the dish. But the biggest ‘ding’ for me was the service. To be clear, it was prompt and relatively attentive. It just didn’t ‘feel great’. The waiter dispatched his duty but seemingly without interest, warmth or engagement. I was asked if I was ready to order before my cocktail, after my cocktail, and about 5 minutes after that. I felt rushed. I had didn’t really ever reflected on the degree to which those attributes affect a dining experience, but they do.

    Best food, and best service, that we’ve enjoyed for a long time. I had the phyllo-shrimp with glass noodles, and my husband had the cioppino. Both were so delicious, as was the special appetizer. The service was seamless, but unobtrusive. We will definitely return.
