What People Are Saying About Patanegra

In Short
The room's bold orange walls, concrete floors and Picasso- and Miro-inspired paintings complement the rustic timbered ceiling, open kitchen crammed with paella pans and handwritten chalkboard menus. Smartly dressed 30- and 40-somethings enjoy spirited conversation and a wide variety of fresh tapas and cooked-to-order paellas. Sample offerings include grilled Catalan tomato bread; mixed salad of greens, roasted vegetables and imported jamon; and saffron-scented seafood paella of clams, mussels and prawns.

Huge selection of Spanish and S. American wines, great service and chefs. It reminds me when I lived in Spain. Call this a memory.

For years I've used citysearch to read reviews and find out where the best restaurants are in Portland. Never bothered to get an id or write a review until today. The Paella was fantastic! I'm Cuban with grandparents from Spain; finally a decent restaurant in Oregon with good food! The fish and seafood in the Paella were cooked to perfection, the taste was exquisite. The chorizon appetizer another great experience; just the right amoutn of spiciness. And finally the crema de catalan, delicious but not too sweet. I will be back!

Based on a recommendation from our friends, my wife and I went there at 9:30pm on a Saturday night for a late night drink and tapas. They were nearly empty and were cleaning up as if they were closing, even though they are listed as open until 11pm. One of the bartenders finally came over and said 'ok, have a seat at the bar'. We did and he made a couple of wine suggestions, and poured us 2 glasses of red that were in open bottles on the side board. He mostly walked around with others and cleaned up and brought us a small bowl of almonds and got us a paltry dish of manchego cheese with quince. We felt we were disturbing their efforts to close the place, so we finished our meager food and oxidized old left-over wine and asked for the bill. Would you believe it was for about $38!! They charged us way tooo much for this waste of our time. I will not hesitate to tell all of our friends and websites about our experience there.
