My partner and I went to dinner there last night for our second time and were blown away once again. It was my partner's birthday and they really made her feel special. They made sure to wish her a happy birthday the moment we got there and remembered it all throughout. They even brought a chocolate sorbet dessert with lit candles in it. That entire staff made it magical. They really know what they're doing here. The food is absolutely delicious. The steak tartare is so good and we got it there last time as well. Everything was perfect. We are looking forward to going there again in the future. Thank you for such an amazing time.❤️

Ok, we moved to the area (Yarmouth) in December from 25 years in San Francisco. We had been searching for a good experience that felt familiar and we finallllllly found it - the “Knotted Apron”! Holy shit, a solid 10/10 in my book. It had neighborhood charm, understated ambience, but more importantly the food was amazingly good - fresh, simple but executed flawlessly and perfectly. This felt like our neighborhood gems in SF that locals knew but tourists had to figure out. Surprised this chef had not been James Beard nominated as it torches some of the other places in town that have. We brought a verrrrry nice bottle of Billecart from 2005 to celebrate my birthday. Their corkage is $40 per bottle. We started with the bread. OMFG, the best bread I have had in ages. so crunchy but yet soft and not sweet like American bread tends to be. We then got a salad and I got the chicken liver mouse. The salad was perfectly dressed and fresh. The mouse - seriously, any time this is on the menu, you would be an idiot NOT to order it. We went onward to entrees and got the steak with potatoes and I got the halibut with chorizo, white beans. Both had so much flavor. I actually want to try and recreate the halibut dish at home as it was unexpected and delicious - who would have thought chorizo and a white fish could work so well together? The service was quirky, fun, and perfect. We had a young gentlemen with the most perfect mustache I’ve ever seen lol! He was so attentive but not intrusive - which is a hard thing to perfect. He helped guide us through the menu and also did not try to oversell us on anything. Overall, this just moved into my overall #1 slot in all of Portland - and frankly, I can sometime be a picky jerk 🥴❤️ (working on self-awareness lol)

The restaurant is small and cozy. Modern and timeless vibes. Patio is beautiful, though got loud with traffic. Food was very expensive but the menu had a nice variety. It’s a perfect dinner spot, but unless you’re rich it’s more of a special occasion place.

Sat at the bar and enjoyed a good meal. You can watch the cooks create the dishes, would recommend for a special occasion. Cocktails were excellent. Waitstaff were all great, everyone was kind, helpful, and patient.
