Review content:
Since Ive been coming to Portland, Ive been getting many recommendations, mostly in the Pearl District. Ive tried a dozen or so and enjoyed many but none were exceptional. The ironic thing is, I found it across the street from the hotel Ive been staying at and no one ever suggested it. \r

Apparently owned by a mom-and-pop, Park Bistro is a shinning example of what a dining experience should be. Perhaps because its a new restaurant (opened 4 months ago) or maybe because they cant rely on the reputation of the neighborhood (such as the Pearl District), yet still it may be the sophistication by proximity to the culinary institute or the fact that the owners have this one establishment to focus on. Whatever the case, theyre doing it right. The ambience is modern decor with non-intrusive jazz playing. Low lighting and candles make for a romantic meal, especially at the tables along the side, cut into the wall with benches. If youre flyin solo, there is a bar as well.\r

They have a great selection of beers, and are staking their reputation on being a wine and coffee bar restaurant. The wine list is extensive with several flights, all under $15. But the food is where I was floored. I ordered Quail, not my favorite, but I was feeling adventurous. The chef sent out a amuse bouche (a phrase I was unfamiliar with until then) of prosciutto wrapped mussel with some herb or leafy elements. The Quail was excellent and slid off the bone. It sat on a 12 bean mixture that had a soul food flavor. For desert I had a Cinnamon Creme Brule, with a perfectly crisped top. In all, a perfect combination of European presentation and comfort food substance. \r

My bill was $26 which doesn?t seem right. I paid for a meal the night before that was twice that and not half as satisfying. I don?t think theres an entree over $20, but don?t think that?s a reflection of quality, just the sign of a restaurant that truly ?gets it?.
Pros: food, atmosphere, service, price
