Quaintrelle

Excellent food and service!

What I like about Quaintrelle is that you often are totally surprised at what you end up liking on their menu. Their creative, fusion pairings make it difficult to imagine how things are going to taste based simply on the menu descriptions. That and we all loved their care and attention to vegetable dishes; they share stardom with the proteins. I also don't know why some complain about portions. We found them just right. The dining room was loud during our visit and the wait staff was attentive and easy-going. Great job!

We had the tasting menu. Everything was delicious.

We had an amazing meal tonight. It was our 1st time and we were very impressed. The wait staff were excellent and the general manager stopped by and said hi to us and to check in our meal. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend this place.

Best Food in Portland right now! And its got a great late night happy hour. Quail and Mussels were fantastic.

Delicious! Food was fresh and seasonal. Menu is updated daily. So good. Reminds me of Portland restaurant before the influx of craziness. Great for a date night or just meeting up with friends.
Try to Crab Fried Rice, The Pork Ribs, and The Trout!!! Yum!

Overall it was a great dinner. The service was attentive but not intrusive. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu. He made great suggestions regarding the tastes and size of the various dishes. We were a group of 7 and we had 10 different dishes served as 3 courses. they paired the different dishes together to make the 3 courses. The whole fish trout dish was the hit of the evening by overwhelming choice. We wish we would have got 2 of those. It is a small darker space, but I think that adds to the experience. Parking on Mississippi is always an issue and it was again, I do think that is somewhat the nature of urban hot spots. We certainly will return.

Bar, drinks, service and food all top notch. Really some of the best staff in Portland.

There were four of at dinner. We tried 8 different appetizers and entrees amongst us and they were all superb. I can't remember everything, but we had a wonderful vegetable salad, the Dungeness crab fried rice, the short rib, the carrots and the cauliflower. For dessert we had what is essentially a drinking chocolate topped with meringue.
The wine offerings by the glass were all excellent and the service was attentive but not obsequious.
we can't wait to return and take friends.

Amazing food. It’s hard to find dishes that are unique these days but I was blown away by the incredible pairings. Something as simple as squash paired with salmon roe and a white cream sauce poured over upon serving....took something so simple to amazingly complex bursts of flavor.

Food was outstanding!

Thanks for being so accommodating!
Beau loves you guys!

A true neighborhood gem! In a city of great restaurants, this more than holds its own in terms of quality and presentation of food, creativity, and friendliness and knowledge of waitstaff. Never had a disappointing meal or experience here (and we've been there a dozen times)

Excellent! First time dining here and we’re concerts!

Great food, awesome staff!

A neighborhood gem with beautiful plate presentation, delicious food and friendly service. We’ll be back soon!

This place NEVER disappoints. Amazing food - utterly amazing. Great waitstaff, wonderful atmosphere.

Everything was very good. But I do want to say it is small plates for a high price.

Changed the menu and was disappointed. Wanted the lobster fried rice. New menu is ok. Not great

What a delightful evening and a delicious dinner. A flavor explosion in each dish, great combinations of ingredients and textures! The service was top notch, terrific wines and cocktails, knowledgeable staff. We loved it all, thank you!

I have dined here several times prior but not recently. Seems they have lost their identity. The menu has also shifted its focus from simple delicious ...to over complicated not focused

I love this place! I am always impressed by the diverse creative food options and revolving seasonal menu. I have never had a bad meal here. The service is always superior. Although it has a lively atmosphere, it’s also a great place to have a lovely dinner conversation.

Delicious food and very attentive service. Will be back.

Can always trust a phenomenal dining experience. Service is welcoming and attentive. Food is creative, inventive and delicious. We are never disappointed. For an evening with friends or a special
Occasion... any day!

It was wonderful. Go!!!!!

A little treat every time. Perfect in all ways. Will return again and again.

The music was way too loud and harsh, not at all conducive to eating.
The menu required the waiter stand there and explain a lot of weird foods or items that could have been easily explained upon the menu. It made ordering as a group a lengthy process. Several items were not that great.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

We had a fabulous dinner here Saturday evening. Every dish was inspired and something that I would not have made at home, either because I would have had trouble finding the ingredients or it would have been too labor intensive.
Three of us shared the smoked scallops; a braised vegetable that I had never had before (and have forgotten the name of) which was a bit like celery, only better; a wonderful Himachi dish and pork osso Bucco. Followed up with a great flourless chocolate cake.
The service was friendly and efficient. We sat upstairs, which I had never done before. For some reason, the few times that I was there before, I was always seated in the bar area. I much preferred the upstairs. it was quieter and we had a great view of the kitchen so that we could see things being prepared.
I'm looking forward to returning soon and have been telling my friends how good it was

Please turn down the volume of the music; we could barely hear each other across the table.

The food was outstanding. There were 10 of us for a birthday. The chef designed a 4-course menu that blew us all away. We’ll be back soon!

Great experience here - the food was fantastic, and the service and ambience were also very good.

Amazing food and service, as always.

Loved everything except the zydeco music. Such a special place and meal -the music was distracting. A different genre would have made it perfect!!!!

Excellent dining experience, staff was so friendly and attentive and the meal tasted amazing!

Loved it. Pleasantly surprised! Everything was amazing!

Loved the tasting menu and wine pairing. can't wait to go back!

Excellent meal and service. The fried rice, duck, black cod, Brussels sprouts and carrots were divine. I think the braised short rib would have been better with lamb to compliment the sauces that were central to its preparation.

Wonderful dishes to share

Wonderful food and service. Lovely little spot with European ambiance. You won't disappointed.

A wonderful time with friends on my birthday.
