Amazing food, elegant, upscale surroundings with prominent bar and friendly staff. Pricey, but worth it. Good for dates! Very cozy.

Very disappointing – The menu is very limited and had few appealing items. Be sure to look at the menu to make sure you like the selection. The apparent intention of the chef is to produce items with interesting flavors and ingredient combination. In fact, the results were somewhat bland and not interesting at all. The portions are small. The service was adequate but not great. Not worth the price.

Interesting menu, excellent meal – Had an excellent meal at Tabla on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was busy but the service was impeccable. The (definitely Mediterranean) menu was varied and interesting but not overly lengthy for a small restaurant. The three-course prix-fixe menu (dessert not included) gives you a choice of everything, with supplementary charges for a few items. Nearly everything on the menu is prepared to order. Choosing a starter was tough, because everything looked interesting, but with a party of fou... read more

I was asked to leave – My husband and I came to Tabla with an out of town guest. We were on time for our 6:30 p.m. reservation. We ordered cocktails, the three-course meal, dessert and coffee. Before 8:30 p.m., we were winding up our conversation when restaurant owner, Adam Berger, came to our table and said, "I have to ask you to leave. There is someone waiting for your table." When we looked at him horrified by his ungracious behavior, he added, "You don't have to come back." DON'T WORRY. WE WON'T BE BACK. EVER. We were so... read more

Don't come too hungry – It was my first time to Tabla. We ordered the fixed price 3 course dinner which inclued an appetizer, past and main course. I ordered the fried ricotta, Ravioli and salmon. The appetizer I could have easily put the entire amount in my mouth in one bite - it was literally just a tasty morsel. Don't get me wrong, it tasted wonderful. It was just so small. The ravioli was singular, as in ONE ravioli. The salmon was lovely, with a wonderful flavor, but I'm certain it wasn't more than 3 or 4 ounces. The be... read more

steak was a disappointing – my friend and i sat at the counter and enjoyed watching the art of cooking. we loved pretty much everything, especially the dessert, but the meat they selected for steak was disappointing. it was so lean and tough that i got tired chewing it.

Yes to the 3 course tasting menu! We love the food at Tabla, often sitting at the bar to enjoy a 3 course tasting menu that's often extraordinary. Great wine list, too.

Portland's Best Restaurant, Hands-Down – I have been eating my way through Portland's food scene since moving from Seattle a year and a half ago and Tabla is far and away the best dinner, best service, and best atmosphere to be found. I now eat here almost once a week. The food is so fresh, well thoughtout, and impressively executed. And the $24 3-course option is the steal of the century. Run, don't walk, to Tabla.

We left the place very happy – We got the 3 course dinner for $24 and the wine pairing - everything we tried was wonderful. Delicious sweetbreads, mouth watering agnolotti, good wine. We are definitely going again.
