Reviews
"We stopped in for date night before a show at the State Theater, and it was a delectable experience. The interior is warm and inviting, perfect for a dinner for two. While Chaval is known for tapas, we opted for the tried-and-true coq au vin and started with the salad on the specials menu. The salad was balanced in flavors, with the creamy blue cheese crumbles complementing the crunch of the almonds. The coq au vin for two was just the right portion and full of flavor. We'd recommend adding another side, as we wished we had even more potatoes or veggies to pair with the chicken! Reservations are hard to come by, so plan in advance, but the seats around the bar area are first-come, first-serve. We'll be back and we recommend you try it out too!"
"Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The bartender Sheila is very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Her tattoos are very cool as well! I would recommend to anyone looking for a date night or upscale dinner in Portland, in a quieter location away from the downtown bustle."
"A fabulous experience. The staff take care of you here, it's an amazing restaurant filled with amazing people. The dishes are elegant and oftentimes surreal. The cocktails are mystifying and delicious. And strangely enough, the vegetables are what I come here for! (Prior to my first visit, I had always assumed the menu was meat-centric - and it kind of is - but they have love for vegan plates, too!) I've even met many new friends while perched at the bar. Chaval is a true neighborhood gem."
"Fantastic food and beverages. I celebrated my wedding anniversary and had a great time. Will definitely be back"
"Wow!! What a meal...what great people. I haven't been to Portland in years and was lucky enough to drop in or a cocktail at Chaval. By the time I left, I had met Damian and Ilma and many of the staff. All wonderful and all with so much knowledge to share. And the food..... unbelievable!! From special cocktails by Asher to side dishes, main dishes and dessert. Head over the West End in Portland and grab dinner at Chaval. You won't be disappointed !!"
