Willow Restaurant 2005 Southeast 11th Avenue, Portland, OR 97214

"Superb food, incredible flavors, thoughtful drink pairings, comfortable atmosphere, friendly and attentive service. An absolute treat and gem of a restaurant. John and Doug know how to create an amazing dinner experience while having fun doing it. One of our favorites in Portland!"

"Incredible food well worth the price. Their tasting menu changes every few weeks, and every single time it is delicious. The two owners/creators/chefs are very friendly. Favorite restaurant in Portland."

"It was a nice intimate dining experience where you can get a thorough (but not overdone) explanation of the food and the beer/wine/non-alcoholic drink pairings. The vibe is like you went to a good friends place who decided to cook you up a delicious meal and serve you a bunch of drinks. Service was great! Only rating it four stars for value for money. We were there in 2017, so I imagine they have been honing their skills since we last visited."

"Had a wonderful dinner at Willow tonight. John and Doug are very casual, like having dinner at a friend's house. Everything was very creative...very interesting ingredient and flavor combinations that worked together perfectly. And very nice wine pairing. All at a very nice price. Portland at its finest."

"Willow offers a rather unique approach to organizing your dining experience. The dishes are prepared and served on a communal counter by a team of two, and this team works out a miracle – a sophisticated combination fresh local ingredients, skilfully transformed into a culinary marvel, followed by a simple, almost home-style dish that explodes with surprisingly deep flavours; all served with great attention to detail and accompanied by a story around the ingredients and, sometimes, the meal idea itself. Willow is definitely one of the top New American restaurants in Portland. Oh, don't miss an opportunity to stay for coffee and cookies after the dinner!"
