Editorial Review for The Blue Monk – by Ivy Manning
In Short
A young and hip crowd fills this contemporary Italian restaurant, which features a slick bar, rustic tables and a partially open kitchen. Simple Italian dishes come in huge portions and include entrees such as homemade meatballs, nightly ravioli specials and chicken Parmesan. Visitors descend darkened stairs painted with eerie apparitions of Portland jazz greats to join a local crowd playing darts and pool.

My wife and I discovered this place by accident one night, looking for a spot to grab a beer before a movie. We have since gone back many times and taken a lot of friends from out of town here. When we found it, they weren't technically open yet but their door was unlocked so they invited us in for a beer until their kitchen opened and we were happy to oblige them. Their beer list is expansive and the staff is friendly, funny and knowledgeable. And the food is amazing. Huge portions and delicious. The blue lighting and darkened corners make for a great date spot.
Pros: Beer Selection, Ambience, Food, Romantic
Cons: Parking

I stumbled upon this place with my boyfriend and my cousen. What a nice surpise! We were looking for a place to get a lil tipsy before we went to the wonderland.The atmosphere was great and the bartenders were pleasant/ helpful even on a Saterday night. We had a miscomunication on a drink and they fixed the mishap without a rude comment or extra charge. I would go here again for sure! OH and the no smoking thing was awesome
