I chose this restaurant to celebrate my 30th birthday because of it's rating as one of citysearch's ten best and because every other review had only positive comments. I am so glad I chose Filbert's! We were a party of eight and even though it is a small space we did not feel cramped. In fact, the restaurant is beautifully decorated and very cozy feeling. Our table was right by the front door but even on a very cold night in Portland, no one felt chilled due to the heating vent being above our table to keep us toasty. We were greeted at the front door by our smiling server and the owner. Our glasses were immediately filled with complimentary champagne to help us start our celebration. What a wonderful touch! I was wished a sincere Happy Birthday by both the owner and our server. Our server was fabulous, attentive at just the right moments with a focus on all the little details that make a dining experience wonderful. She had the kitchen plate two deserts that a friend brought along and she accommodated our request for separate checks with a smile. The food was amazing from the beginning to the end! We had the crab cakes and mussels along with the mixed field greens and baby arugula salad. For entrees we tried the sole, trout and NY strip. All were perfectly prepared and matched with accompaniments. The flavors were fantastic! I cannot say enough good things about Filbert's, it is a new favorite. Thank you Filberts for a lovely start to my birthday celebration!
