    The room is beautiful and welcoming. The service is always excellent, the staff knowledgeable and attentive in just the right way without being too much or too little. And the food is amazing. An extensive list wines by the glass, and some delicious non-alcoholic options that are given the same kind of crafting as their boozy cocktails. This remains one of my favorite restaurants in Portland!

    Another exceptional dining experience due in large part to John, who served us. He remembered that I am gluten free and thoughtfully described the many dishes that would work for me. He even provided a half portion of one of the dishes I was interested in but didn’t order. The food was exceptional, again. Tartuca has become my favorite restaurant in Portland.

    Excellent brunch spot with reservations! Stress free reservations for weekend brunch made it simple to be promptly seated. Service was friendly and the food was great! If you love olives, the salmon toast is excellent. The Rhuby Espresso with its surprisingly complex flavor was the perfect brunch complement.
