Taste On 23rd

The meat and cheese platter was excellent! Several choices of each and I look forward to trying more. Add flights of wine and thus makes a perfect spot to stop at after a long train ride from Seattle. Easy walking distance to both Union Station and downtown Portland. Excellent service as well! Highly recommended.

I'm holding myself back from saying 'go big or go home' because The Digby is truly the only way to go!! (Picture below, 2 board spread) But if you're not with 2-4 other hungry humans, pick a few meats and cheeses and prepare to be delighted. This is my favorite place to go for a charcuterie board in town and we've brought many friends here just to see it! The location of Taste on 23rd is quite charming as well, corner building, limited seating and cozy atmosphere. It is a great place to grab a couple glasses of wine (or half glasses) and enjoy the evening!!

Fantastic place!! The wine and food were both incredible, and the service really made the experience. They offer pre-set wine flights (2-3 half glasses), but when a friend and I went the wines from those tastings were mostly sold out. We could have chosen our own, but the waiter/bartender kindly offered to come up with a different flight for each of us and took into consideration our tastes and desire to try regional options. I can't wait to come back for one of the monthly wine dinners!

Great place to taste a very wide range of wines (domestic & international) at reasonable prices & pair them with small plates of tasty food. Tonight we had the soup (Indian peanut) and a winter salad (fresh cranberries, apples, walnuts & greens in a light dressing) that paired well with a Pinot Noir & a Claret. Staff are very knowledgeable & friendly. During the spring & summer, the window seats are great for people watching on NW 23rd.

So much to love about this place. The food and wine is amazing but what made our experience better was the server we had, Nick! He was incredibly friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to. The restaurant is super cute and easy to hang out and relax. If we’re ever back in Portland we will be visiting again.
