"Wonderfully relaxed ambience, romantic and great service. We offered general Mediterranean foods such as humus and were more interested in the specifically Afghan dishes. My husband adored the leg of lamb with saffron rice. I found plenty of vegetarian options including kudu (pumpkin with no meat yogurt), sambosa (pastry with chickpeas that reminds me of British pies, my favorite). The desserts were absolutely decadent. I had the mini chocolate cake and my husband had flavored the pudding with cardamom and rose water. Fantastic! I have already recommended Nora to 8 of my friends. We drove 1.5 hours to eat here but we will be back."

"I never leave reviews... but this... oh, my goodness, where do I start!? Our experience started planning my son's rehearsal dinner, which was the first place we contacted and the other 4 were not even close! Loris the manager, was an excellent communication partner both by phone and email, and they were also the most professional. In addition, they have the Festa room, which can comfortably accommodate up to 48, is completely separated, it is own private entrance, and is a phenomenal place with amazing ambience. Chris, the owner, Loris, and her staff did a bad good job with every antipasti, salad, primi, secondi and Dolce, in short it was SIMPLY MARVELOUS. Oh....and DID I MENTION, THE SERVICE AND FOOD FOR WHICH?? If you forbid an event, do not waste your time, go here, you will thank me for it!"

"The service is great, everyone is friendly and knowledgeable! Their food could be really great if it wasn't hit or miss. The pork egg rolls with fresh cilantro are *delicious*, but they are consistently overcooked, despite asking them pull them out of the frier sooner. All in all, it's a solid place with good gluten-free food and friendly service. However, it does seem to be a bit overpriced at times."

"We dined in as a party of 6. The ambiance of this place is delightful. Very great murals, lighting and gives a distinct hawaiian vibe. All of our food came out at the exact same time and it was all nice and hot. It comes in plastic boxes so it's Easy to take home or eat on the go if you want. Waitress was so nice and attentive even though they were getting a lot of phone calls. My kihei ribs were slightly chewy but had great flavor, and the teriyaki chicken sauce was delightful. My wife said that her shoyun chicken was the best chicken dish she had ever had in her life. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we even got free cupcakes for dessert, imported from the islands themselves! A little on the expensive side but the portions were hefty. We will come here again if we end up back in Portland!"

"What started out as an inexpensive neighborhood bistro now charges close to fine dining pricing. Bergerac is clearly a 5 star bistro, but when a full menu is currently $65 plus $35 for its wine paring, then it either has to return to lower pricing or be reviewed more critically. It still has the potential to be a 5 star as an upscale restaurant because of the chef's talent, but only if they address the following: 1) first and foremost, they must stop using paper napkins and cheap silverware glassware. If a customer can now easily spend $100 per person, paper napkins are simply unacceptable. Their presentation must evolve with their pricing. At the very least they must switch to wine specific restaurant grade crystal such as the lowest Riedel line. They should get rid of their current heavy duty stemless generic all purpose glassware, even if they hold up better under commercial use. After reviewing their menu then noticing their paper napkins and inferior wine glasses, the impression I got was that they were going to get other details wrong as well, including those related to the actual food and wine. 2) Regarding the $35 pairing for approximately 10 oz total of non luxury, improper temperature wine, I felt it was a poor value. That's why I opted for just a glass of their sauvignon blanc/semillon blend instead, but unfortunately it had a foxy fruit forward taste, and was served to me at a full chill like a sparkling wine. Acceptable for a bistro, but not for $12 for what looked like a heavy tasting pour. Proper temperature is important with wine, so I think they need to consult with a certified sommelier. They need to invest in a multi temperature wine fridge for reds and whites, and use their regular fridge for sparkling. I don't know for sure, but I am guessing they presently keep reds at room temperature (not cellar temperature which must never exceed 65 F), and whites and sparkling together in a regular fridge. 3) I was given sliced bread instead of a piece of crusty baguette with my escargot, which is a head scratcher to me. And where were the snail shells as advertised prominently on their website? I know shells add to the cost, but customers pay for presentation. My escargot meat was just lazily piled on a snail plate, disregarding the indentations designed to keep shells upright. Luckily, they used actual small French helix, not a cheaper larger Asian species. 4) My crème brûlée was dry, as if they did not add enough water to sustain a bain marie. Also, my swordfish tasted previously frozen, and it was overcooked; I think they needed a hotter searing flame over a shorter cooking cycle for my portion. 5) Finally, they should install a mirror or painting behind the bar since half the room looked spartan even with all the Christmas decorations. Overall, I thought the food was well seasoned and tasted good, but I was turned off by the establishment's general lack of ambience, paper napkins, and pricey ordinary wine served in bulky gene"
