From wood-fired duck breast to seared sea scallops, Chef Pascal Chureau's seasonal menu also pays homage to products from local growers, farmers, and ranchers.

In Short – The two-story dining room with a soaring ceiling, an elegant neutral color scheme and stone fireplace sets the scene for refined French dining. Well-heeled patrons gaze upon sweeping views of Jamison Square while tucking into bistro favorites including foie gras terrine with brioche toasts, French onion soup and frites. Other items include steak and paella. For dessert, there are mini chocolate souffles or imported cheeses.

Okay, but kinda disappointed
by LogicalChefTechnique at Citysearch
I love French cuisine and am always excited to try the best portland has to offer in this vien of culinary tradition. When I went to Fenouil I was expecting great food. I got slightly less then that. Three of us ordered the French onion soup, but to my dismay it was rather plain, and overloaded with gruyere cheese and not even fully melted. Each of us actually had to take cheese out of the bowl and put it to the side. I ordered the paella. IT WAS DRY! The saffron rice was undercooked (I felt like I needed a drink of water after each bite) and there was no seafood chorizo broth! Just dry seafood. The seafood was good and I loved the chorizo. Last but not least, the pomme frits with truffle oil. The frits themselves were very thin to the point that the fry was pure crunch with no moist potato obn the inside. Moreover the truffle flavor was barely noticeable. It was like oily chips. No good. However to be fair both of my friends enjoyed their meals, grilled shrimp with harrisa aioloi, beef stew, and a smoked salmon app. Although I might try it again, I would be hesitant.
- Pros: Nice wine selection, creative menu items
- Cons: ....

Fenouil Ruined my friends birthday
by zodpod at Citysearch
we went to Fenuoil for my friends birthday and had a large party. we ended up being being short a few guest and the waistress made it clear she wasn't happy about it. My friend tried lightening the mood and said " I'm so sorry we are short some guests but I promise we will leave a huge tip " the waitress replies " ya." and stomps off. Then when she came back she over heard me say " wow we should complain to her manager." and she walked up and said " ya I was mad before and now not so ... what fdo you guys want to eat?" to make a really long and blah blah blah BS that came from the restraunt shorter, I'll say this , if your thinking about a cute chic formal dinner with friends don't go here. You will feel to scared to speak above library level and if you tell them you don't eat meat it doesn't matter your food is cooked in viel fat.
- Pros: delicous food
- Cons: Evil server
