Portland’s Best Romantic Restaurants and Bars for Date Night | Eater Portland

"If modern romance is still characterized by rosy hues and low lighting, Bar Diane is just the ticket. The tucked-away wine bar on NW 21st greets visitors with polka dot pink and red wallpaper, plus some pink chairs and white marble countertops that set the stage for intimacy. Menus for both wine and food include the usual suspects of France-meets-Oregon local-influenced dining in Portland, from caviar service and chicken liver mousse to Loire Valley whites and Oregon reds — plus a handful of well-made classic cocktails. The bottle selections emphasize celebrating with bubbles, offering several Pét Nats and real Champagne to choose from. However, the unsung hero of Bar Diane might be the milk rolls — pillowy bread that comes on its own or served alongside a briny array of tinned fish and pickles." - Katrina Yentch
