    We were 1st in today so got great service and it was nice snd quiet. Soon started to fill up. We loved our warm apple copy cake and both our entrées the polenta with poached egg and the baked eggs and tomato. We will definitely come back for dinner as everything is made in house we were told, including the sausage! Fresh squeezed orange juice, although it would’ve been nice if they filled up the glass!

    Bellpine has become my "special occasion" go-to restaurant in Portland. The food is a visual and gastronomical treat that is paired with the best service I've received in Portland in the last decade. And, all of this is not one-off. I've been here several times and the high quality service ethic starts with the doorman at the entrance of the Ritz and carries through an entirely amazing dining experience. It's also a great spot for a drink. One of the three best views of the city after dark.

    Outstanding dinner. The beet salad was really enhanced with the yogurt and crunchy topping with African spices. My spaghetti with foraged mushrooms and brown sauce was also delicious, if sky over salted. The cured ocean trout on waffles was creative but flavorful.
