"Arden closely rides the line between a wine bar and a full-fledged restaurant, especially with its themed dinners and wine-tasting pop-ups which often feature local and visiting winemakers. After subbing in takeout and delivery at the height of the pandemic, in-person dining is fully back in its gorgeous, plant-filled space and heated outdoor patio. Along with its menu of Pacific Northwest fare, dining in means an opportunity to try the wide range of wines offered by the glass and bottle, and Arden’s team often focuses on diversity within the winemaking world, offering really cool and rare bottles from Willamette Valley and Old World winemakers." - Alex Frane, Zoe Baillargeon
