Customer Reviews
One of Portland’s Best Hidden Gems! Hands down, this is one of the most underrated restaurants in Portland. The menu is incredibly creative, and the ingredients are thoughtfully combined in ways that truly surprise you. Every dish we ordered was mind-blowing in its own unique way — it felt like a journey of flavor from one delightful surprise to the next. I highly recommend trying this place when you’re in Portland — it’s absolutely worth it! The only item that didn’t quite hit the mark for us was the dessert, the sweet potato. It wasn’t bad by any means, but after being spoiled by the brilliance of the previous dishes, we were expecting something equally inventive. Instead, it was quite literally a sweet potato covered in chocolate and nuts — decent, but not up to par with the rest of th
Delicious! Go here! Make that reservation! The food is transportive and evokes emotions through your taste buds and memories. This is poetry for your senses.
All the food was a solid 5 except for the short ribs. Loved the oysters, tamales, and tostada! My wife loved and was very happy with her tuna jaw. The chocolate cake was delicious and very unique. Never had that flavor profile before! The only weak point was my short ribs. Weakness #1, they forgot about them. I had to ask where they were about 15 minutes after my wife had been served her collar. It took about 30 minutes after my wife was served before my beef arrived. Weakness #2, IMHO, was the serving size was a bit small for a $60 dish, especially with the price and size of my wife's tuna jaw. Lastly, the flavor was just ok. I found the mole to be a bit salty for me. All three issues knocked me down from a 5 start love fest with Regards. TL;DR. Come to Regards, enjoy everything. Do not
Delicate, delectable, sensory forward dishes that leave you wanting to come back to try more. Flavors that develop the longer you let a bite sit. Apparently menu changes regularly, which is exciting. Dessert so interesting and different, a pleasant end to dinner. 10/10 will be back. Michael was a phenomenal guide too
