In Short – In an L-shaped dining room brightened with warm Tuscan hues, an open kitchen, and food focused art, this bistro's menu taps the seasons and Europe for inspiration. Neighbors from near and far come to tuck into menu mainstays of fresh, handcrafted pastas such as Tabla's famous chard, ricotta, and egg yolk filled ravioli in an inventive poppy seed butter; families and friends also pop by toexpand their culinary knowledge with seasonally-driven dishes focused on a monthly theme, be that Moroccan cuisine or French Bistro fare.

Portland's Best Restaurant, Hands-Down
by urbanCowgirl at Citysearch
I have been eating my way through Portland's food scene since moving from Seattle a year and a half ago and Tabla is far and away the best dinner, best service, and best atmosphere to be found. I now eat here almost once a week. The food is so fresh, well thoughtout, and impressively executed. And the $24 3-course option is the steal of the century.
Run, don't walk, to Tabla.
- Pros: Best food in town, unimpeachable wine list, awesome staff
- Cons: They don't serve lunch!

We left the place very happy
by Snickerdoodle at Citysearch
We got the 3 course dinner for $24 and the wine pairing - everything we tried was wonderful. Delicious sweetbreads, mouth watering agnolotti, good wine. We are definitely going again.
- Pros: Good food, good wine

Good food - horrible manager/owner
by TheJenkins at Citysearch
My husband went to Tabla last night with a long time friend. When he came home he told me that he was excited about finding this wonderful restaurant with good food and a lovely ambience. He said all was well until he and his friend were concluding their meal. They both had paid separately with their respective credit cards. My husband and his friend always leave the tip in cash. Well the manager/owner came out and demanded to know if everything was ok. He was advised three separate times that everything was fine. finally the manager asked why no tip had been left. Excuse me??? Had he bothered to not ASSUME no tip was left and shut his big mouth he might have seen the money laying on the table for the tip. He then demanded my husband and his friend leave immediately and never return. Well I can assure you that will not be a problem - what an unprofessional immature restaurant owner. We will be sharing this incident with everyone we know.
