always fun, always a great selection, always delicious that's all i have to say buy yelp wants a quantity of words

I came here for a work lunch and had a great time! The inside of the restaurant is very cozy and homey, and the staff is very friendly. How the menu works here is that everything is done family-style and meant to be shared. You can also order in either a smaller or bigger portion, so that you can try many different dishes. Our group ordered a variety of appetizers, salads, meats, and seafood and everything was delicious. I really enjoyed being able to try a little bit of each dish and thought that the way that everything was cooked was very light and brought in seasonal ingredients perfectly. Really enjoyed this dinner and I highly recommend it for an intimate dinner.

Great brunch spot! So many delicious food options- everything we had was amazing. Great drink selection. Can't wait to return and try the rest of the menu.

This restaurant impressed me tremendously. I visited Navarre on a Saturday evening with two friends. It was a terrific choice for so many reasons. Their impressive and rather unique menu is updated daily, based upon delivery of locally grown csa foods. So many farm to table choices and eclectic flavor combinations! I was pleased with the generously sized tapas portions. Also, prices were very reasonable. I enjoyed three tapas plates, one drink, and one dessert, with a tab of less than $60. We especially appreciated their method of collecting food orders. Diners receive a pad of paper with the menu, and are encouraged to submit their written orders intermittently throughout the meal, rather than all at once. Because of this, we were able to time our tapas as desired and not rush through the meal. Manageable noise level, and nice large tables for lots of tapas plates. Service was on point; friendly and knowledgeable, though not overly chatty. Extensive wine list. Lovely decor and pleasant lighting. I would say that Navarre is my new favorite in Portland.

Cozy breakfast spot! Family style, home style with a flare of the now and friendly staff! It's like having breakfast at your grandparents house so sit back, relax and enjoy the conversation! Stop on by and enjoy your meal without having to wash dishes!

We were recommended this restaurant and we were so impressed. We dined on a Saturday at about 5:30pm. Parking: street parking. We were lucky enough to find a spot a block away on the same street. Location: perfectly situated amongst a row of coffee shops, wine bar etc. charming street that you can safely walk around. We were greeted the moment we walked into the cozy restaurant with high ceiling and were given the option of inside or outside. We grab an inside table and menu plus water were brought to us fairly quickly. We needed a slight instruction but got it and started to write our orders. We went with a variety of items. All were very decently priced. Our waitress knew her menu but also knew her wine very well. My white wine was such a perfect pair with everything i ate. Food came out about 5-7mins after we ordered. Each dish was just amazing in flavor and texture. We were so happy with everything and by the end of dinner, not one plate had a piece of crumbs left of it. Everything is made when you order and as part of the menu rotates due to what they have delivered, we were extremely happy with our selections. Restaurant: such a nice and warm ambiance. When they were cooking fish, you can slightly smell it, like home cooking and you were sitting by the kitchen. Service: amazing staff. They all worked together to get us drinks, food and always checking on us. I do not give too many 5 stars but I had a wonderful dinner experience and this restaurant is my recommendation when you're in Portland.

I always prefer outdoor seating but it was brisk so we went inside. Definitely a spot for wineries as they had a huge menu for drinks but we went for brunch. Omelette was good but ask for hot sauce if you like spice and it tasted much better with a sweet sauce. Greens and veggies are fresh from the farm daily so we got greens and it was fresh. Eggs Benedict were the best as it had a soft English muffin and added more hot sauce. They have Portland teas and served with hot kettle on your table for easily refills. I'd love to go there for dinner next and outside next time.

We've always wanted to try this place but it's always really packed. My husband's birthday was on a Thursday, so we decided to give it a try and we just barely lucked into a table. This is a great special occasion or splurge night place as it's a bit on the spendy side. It has a great neighborhood feel and it's small, so plan on waiting. The whole idea is small plates and I felt a central theme was simple but great quality dishes that are extremely well prepared. We started with a 2/3 of a bottle of white wine that was nice and dry, and plenty of wine for us. The server recommended about 5 to 6 small dishes for two and that was perfect. We started with bread that was obviously locally made and served with an incredible butter. If I'm noticing the butter, you know it's great. We also had the green salad, which was just greens, but they were dressed in this amazing and unique tasting vinaigrette. I definitely felt I tasted olive, more so than just olive oil. It was quite tasty. For the main part of the dinner, we had perfectly cooked hangar steak, chicken with cheese, mushrooms in a terrific butter sauce and cabbage casserole. My husband said the cabbage casserole looked sort of like a cabbage lasagna and it tasted sort of like that too, very chees-y and decadent. We were pretty full after all of that and declined dessert. The dessert menu seemed pretty plain, but we did see another table sharing red velvet cake that looked good. Service as amazing, the two servers seemed almost orchestrated, with things suddenly appearing and disappearing. I highly recommend Navarre!
