   Everything was fantastic. The wood fired New York and Filet were perfectly cooked. Plenty of options for sides. We loved the smoky mushrooms that really complemented the steaks. Honestly going to be our new steak spot in Portland.

   This was our first time at Bistecca. Bread was a big disappointment. Cold sandwich bread with bitter/grassy EVOO is not how yummy focaccia should be presented ever. Lobster rolls were good. Hasselback potatoes and cauliflower both were very average. Steak was fine but forgettable. Overall, just not quite there.

   The food and service was terrible. The steak was overcooked, the gnocchi was very mushy along with the sauce which is white and has no taste. The chicken is bland and tough. I never write comments but the dinner was for 4 and it was $500 and was so bad that I hope others do not have such a terrible experience.

   The Wagu steak was cold when served and much closer to rare than the medium rare we ordered. The asparagus was tasteless. The best menu items were the mashed potatoes and the Caesar salad. Waiter didn’t stop to check on food until we were almost finished eating. Drinks were good.

   The restaurant decor is fun. staff were nice and friendly. Our server Lux was very attentive. It was really hard to hear the staff or my friends. We sat in the long booth in the southwest corner so maybe the noise in that location was the problem. Even leaning forward we couldn’t hear each other. Food takeaways: The mushrooms were overcooked, the marinated olives were awesome, the crab cakes were just ok, the grilled little gem Caesar salad was the bomb, the ribeye was not juicy, the bone in NY strip was good, the asparagus was lacking flavor but had a nice crunch, the cauliflower was great, both potato dishes were great, the horseradish and bernaise sauces were good, the salts were good (it’s awkward how there’s a salt person). They ran out of the broccolini and they had already doled out the 10 - $42 burgers they make per night so we didn’t get to try those. Suggestions: They should ask the table collectively what salts to bring and then just leave a bit of those for people to pass around at the table. They should make sure the NA drinks have a completely different name than the alcoholic drinks. They should somehow dampen the restaurant noise.

   Delicious food and very good service. Steak choices are large but easily shareable.

    What a great experience! Amazing food cooked perfectly, lots of great appetizers to choose from. Great service! We sat outside and enjoyed the sun, when it cooled off they have heaters and shades to break the wind. We will be back.
