Best Brunch Ever!. Easily the best place for brunch. I was lucky enough to get in here with a friend and everything we had was out of this world. Their take on food is intelligent and creative. If you can get here you totally should.…
Love this place. Is there any more to say? I love this place.
Absolutely Superb!!!. OF the higher end restaurants I've been to in PDX, this is my new favorite. My wife and I shared the bacon wrapped prawns, fried figs, rabbit pate (YUM), wild mushroom salad and the duck confit. Each plate was fabulous...So good, I was literally giddy throughout the entire meal. I couldn't even say which was my favorite as they were all splendid. The chocolate souffle which required pre-order was also fabulous. I had the beet infused vodka bloody mary and was probably the best BM I've ever had. The ambience was nice but to be honest I barely noticed it as the food had all my attention. Our server was excellent as well. With all the choices in PDX to eat at VQ will make it easier for us to decide in the future. We'll return again and again. Highly, highly recommend.…
It's still a Landmark.

A Portland Destination for nearly 40 years.
I've been a regular at VQ for almost as long as they've been open, mind you...many of those years in diapers!
Now, all grown up and able to dine sans diapers:
Their brunch is amazing, and eating outside during summer is a real treat. Can't beat champagne on the patio at 10am!
I recently started spending more time at their Happy Hour, which offers gourmet delights at reasonable prices. One of my favorite HH meals is the rabbit pate. It's luscious! The duck spring rolls are a culinary delight, as is the pizza and bacon wrapped dates. Not your typical HH food.
They do a great osso bucco at dinner and anything they do with truffles is delish! Saffron Halibut is one of the best halibut dishes in town.
If you ever get a chance to try their 6 course tasting menu, it's worth the cash! It's a lot of food, but each course is artfully presented and tastes better than the last!
Service varies from amazing to spotty. It's always been that way as long as I can recall. I've had such great service with the family , we've wanted to return and request the same server. Other times, we plan on taking a long break because the service was just aloof.…
