Add your review for Paley's Place.

• Paley's Place is most definitely on my list for repeat visits. I would love to return for Happy Hour but am also eager to try the dinner menu. It's fancy--which can mean pricey--but they offer most of the entrees as a full or half plate. That, in my opinion, is perfect. It means that I am far more likely to make it back in the near, near future because it no longer has to wait for a special occasion.

• Menu is a little bit pricey. Happy Hour (5:00 - 7:00 pm) is a good deal; The best is the atmosphere and the music

• The food was really tasty but not as phenomenal as expected from the reviews online. Try beef tartar(amazing), cod, escargot w bone marrow. The wait was a bit too long & ambiance was too noisy/busy.

• Great bartender! I forget his name but he has dark-rimmed glasses & makes one hell of an old fashioned. Happy hour is affordable & tasty but beware of dainty portions. Regardless Paley's is worth it.

• Vitaly Paley is a legend and rightfully so! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu though we’re partial to the Stuffed Quail!

• Over-rated. Standard Portland.

• The salted caramel Sunday at Paley's is truly out-of-this-world. All the food is wonderful and showcases unique ingredients from the Pacific Northwest.

• Let's summarize it by saying this is the best place to experience new flavors. The escargot in tear bones is amazingly good and original! Love it!

  by Schay R.

  
  

• Some of the best salmon and lamb ever tasted.. And a wide selection for charcuterie and cheeses.

• In a city famed for its ingredient-driven restaurants, special credit must be given to Paley's Place, a shrine to the bounty of the Pacific Northwest housed in a rambling, candlelit Victorian home.

• Not worth the $. Just fine but not exceptional.

  by Tess M.

  
  

• Get the cheeses for dessert. The local raw (unpasteurized) options are great!

• This is the Balthazar of Portland: the place that everyone agrees on, and a restaurant that manages to be creative, yet so classic. [Eater 38 Member]

• Fifteen years ago, Kimberly and Vitaly Paley helped jump-start a new Oregon cuisine. Blending New York restaurant savvy and French schooling with casual Portland style...

• Old fashioned is awesome.

  by Tim V.

  
  

• The food is whimsical, earthy, and decadent. Consider one simple meal: a romaine salad, charcuterie, ravioli, pork shoulder with polenta. Featured as one of Portland Monthly's Best Restaurants of 2009

• Sit at the bar with Lisa if you can. Enjoy trying something new. Paley's is one place where I will try pretty much anything. They take northwest food, add a French flair, delicious. It's very special.
