- LLubaPortland / Oregon •47 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoOur experience was good overall. The wine list offered many options, but mostly very expensive. Food was yummy, coming out a bit on a slow side. The service was fine. But the noice level (music - why?!!) is very very high. You can’t hear your dinner partner across the table, only those that are next to you.More infoCanard - BurnsidePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Northeast Portland•4.8
