Great food and good service! Try out their imaginative brunch items. I especially like the hash. You can have a mimosa along with your breakfast since they have a full bar! More

We walked by and stopped in. Great lunch. Fun, brick and timber location with excellent food and service. We are from SF and are foodies and this was awesome. More

This is an upscale bar and bistro with a refined though limited menu and excellent drinks and service. In the summer they have tables on the street for outdoor dining. This is also my "go to" place for dinner before a show at the Roseland, but also good for a causal but nice dinner, or even just upscale drinks. More

My Spouse and I ate here the other night. And we truly enjoyed it. The enviroment is one that we would decorate our home in. Smooth, rustic and chic. Wood beams for a ceiling, smooth corners, metal shown through. It was sexy, romantic and upscale. It would be fabulous for a date, like ours, or a business meeting/diner. Not a... More

I have been to the Davis Street Tavern several times now for brunch. It has quickly become my favorite place to bring out of town guests. The menu is always interesting and delicious, the customer service is excellent, and the prices are more than reasonable. Each time I go, I walk away more impressed with the place. More

Just off the train from Seattle, we took refuge from a Portland downpour in the first restaurant we came across. First, we showed up 10 minutes before the place opened for lunch and they happily seated us, bringing us coffee even though the kitchen wasn't yet open; second, the place was warm and comfortable -- nice booths, brick walls, great...

This was about our fifth trip to this restaurant and it was another great experience. Excellent wine list and a variety of choices on the menu. Service was incredible - timed out well and very friendly. Will definitely be back. More

We chose the Davis Street Tavern this year for a holiday get-together. We had a play to attend later that evening, so we were there on a Saturday evening at relatively early time as far as dinner goes. The bar area was filled with happy hour attendees, while the dining room was still rather sparsely seated. I'll get to the... More

They are part of the Portland Big Deal package (with a $20 off coupon) so we gave em a try. We were very pleased. We went there on a Sunday evening so it was a low key atmosphere, lovely venue with massive beams and exposed brick (a tavern in name only), and the food prices were very reasonable. Next time...

What do you say (about what's supposed to be a fine dining restaurant in the Pearl) when the person who represents Davis Street Tavern is dressed like a slob? The so-called host was dressed in grubby jeans that were evidently too long for him as they were torn and ragged on the bottom. And he topped those gross jeans off... More
