Been here 10+ times
Don't be put off by the odd protein. You'll find that you probably never had it made the proper way before. The rabbit last night was amazing. Go. Try. Eat. Enjoy. And be sure to get the wine pairings

Fantastic menu and wine pairings. Tip included. Seemed a little expensive, but about on par with a 1 Michelin star in NYC. Communal tables great idea but lots of dates that didn't want to talk.

It's a splurge, but each prix-fixe seating is like a dinner party gone carnivorously crazy. Get the charcuterie plates, and braised duck or beef cheeks if they're available. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Artistry in technique and flavours, quality in produce, it is always a pleasure to return to Beast and admire the chefs at work in their small, welcoming environment.

Prix fixe menu. Chef is Naomi Pomeroy from Top Chef. Perhaps one of the best meals of my life. All meat based menu. Don't overlook the foie gras bonbon--it's tiny, so savor it. Must make a reservation

Great experience! Communal dining (I came for brunch), excellent wine pairings. I made the mistake of coming with picky eaters—better to be open to new tastes of coming here.

Wonderful experience from service to exquisite food. Went for brunch and got everything (sweet, savory, cleansing and then sweet again). The duck egg with pork hash was perfection. Highly recommend!

This is a dining experience indeed. A special occasion for sure and very enjoyable. Wine pairing is a must with all 7courses. Great setting in a nice neighbourhood.

We’re also big fans of their constantly changing list of wine – in particular the sparklings and rose!

The menu changes weekly so we can only guarantee that our pal, Naomi Pomeroy and her kitchen team will serve you a meal you’ll never forget.

Food was well prepared and for the most part, very good. The risk of a set menu however is that they serve something not your style. In this case it was squab, which was a bit gamey for my tastes

Really great communal tables with intimate laid back service and fantastic food.

Def come for the 4 course fixed menu brunch -- very worth the $45, awesome communal seating setup

If you can attend one of the wine dinners here, it's worth getting a reservation. Get to know your community dining friends and enjoy a great meal together.

for all the top chef fans...chef naomi pomeroy's restaurant. beautiful open kitchen. menu changes daily so it's fresh and seasonal
Portland MonthlyJuly 1, 2010
The set menu—soup, charcuterie plate, entrée, salad, cheese, and dessert—changes weekly. Always anchored by meat, be it duck, lamb, pork, or veal, the menu might be inspired by anything from Pomeroy’s Read more

Arrive early for the weekend meals, for the best seats facing the counter. Skip the chef's table option, not worth the extra cost.
Frani LiebermanAugust 10, 2014
One of the best meals I have had, period. The foie bon Bon is a bite to remember.
Brian LongtinJune 9, 2019
Not a bad dish in the whole prix fixe experience. Wow.
Liz WalkerJuly 25, 2012
Amazing. Recommending the wine pairing, and going with at least 2 other friends to make the communal table less awkward.
Jenn PAugust 8, 2014
Very cool experience. Would highly recommend!

Just do it.
Anna MartinezAugust 29, 2010
Everything, except late seating kind of inconvenient.

Be ready to try something new, what's the worst thing that can happen
