This is a wonderful restaurant! My daughter said the milk bread on this crab roll was the best she has ever had. The fresh pasta tastes like it is straight out of a cafe in Italy. Wonderful wine list by the glass and bottle selection. To top it off we each had a scoop of fresh custard that was perfect. We highly suggest this great place.

We went here for our anniversary dinner as we wanted something special. Arriving about 10 minutes before our reservation, we scored two spots at the table facing the kitchen. We chose the wine pairing and enjoyed a celebratory (and complimentary!) glass of sparkling wine before the meal started. We were a little worried about the idea of communal seating on our special night, but it ended up being cozy and intimate in our little corner. The food was fabulous, we ate things we’d never tried and loved every bite. I loved the explanations about how the wine paired with the food! By the final few courses I was definitely getting full but made sure to save room for dessert. Such a special and delicious night.

Beast is one of the restaurants that are hard to get a reservation at, and rightfully so! We were lucky to book a table for a Sunday brunch last minute, and enjoyed a surprisingly diverse and creative three-course meal. Both the presentation and taste of the dishes were fantastic, and a set of petit fours was a welcomed addition to the after-brunch coffee.

100% worth booking the 6 course meal. Everyone was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their craft. Also, you easily get your money’s worth in terms of food. You will not have to worry about leaving hungry or “not getting enough.” Everything is perfectly balanced and well paired. I cannot stress how great of an experience I had here.

One of the more memorable meal of my life. My husband and I had such a great time. We sat at a table with complete strangers and at first was worried, but we met some awesome people. The food was amazing, the wine pairing was superb and we were stuffed!! Highly recommended!!

Great brunch done family style seating and a set menu. Flavors were awesome. Too much pet nat wines for my liking for the wine flight. Should have 2 wine pairings, 1 pet nat and 1 regular.

I’ve eaten at Ripe Cooperative several times this summer, and I’ve had quite a few of their take-out meals. Ripe really is serving some of the best food in Portland right now. Yes, you do pay for the quality, but frankly, it’s worth every penny!

The absolute best single bite of pasta I’ve ever had, BEAST is a standout even amongst the elite of Portland’s culinary scene! From ‘Taste and Technique’ to creativity and presentation, the entire experience is pure excellence! And if you’re lucky enough to snag a reservation when Michelin star spangled guest chefs join Naomi Pomeroy and her amazing team, thank the food Gods for shining their light upon you!

The food was excellent and the wine pairings were great. We caught them on a slow night, so it was just the two of us dining. It was like having a personal chef for a night.
