Nectaris

Cozy Place 💚 When I made my reservation, I was told that the menu would change the following day for the next 2 weeks before the restaurant resumes the first menu. The new was named “Italian Summer Dinner Part 3.” And boy was it amazing!! The predominant flavor/ingredient of the savory dishes was tomato. My Caprese and Risotto al Promodoro were totally tasty and satiating. No proof Mule was excellent. I also ordered gelato as a dessert. It tasted great as well😄 Jenny was such a friendly person 🫶🏻 She was very helpful and caring. Would love to go back again next time I am in Portland.

The vibe here is amazing, and even more amazing is the food and wine! I had a charcuterie board, baguette with olive oil, French onion soup, and the violife cheddar sandwich. Everything was delicious. The amount of cheese that comes with the charcuterie was very much worth the price. The staff was also very friendly and attentive. This is now a go to spot for me when I wanna be a lil' fancy, or just to have a snack and read a book while enjoying a nice glass of wine.

I had the pleasure of dining in at Nectaris with my partner on Sunday, September 21st around 5:30 p.m. There was no wait and we were seated immediately. We had the savory bread pudding and Confit Crimini sandwich. The food was delicious! Both of us enjoy good wine, but know next to nothing about how to find good wine. That's where our server sprang into action. She was so helpful and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Her suggestions were all spot on and she really made the whole experience excellent. We wrote down her name and I wanted to shout her out here, but it looks like it got lost along our travel route the next day. I highly recommend dining here! I will definitely be back when I'm in town again.

Nectaris is magical perfection. Was I literally transported into a place so relaxing and delicious and dreamy that I still can’t believe it and can’t wait to go back??? Yes. Everything pictured is vegan and gluten free.

Came here with friends and it was a lovely evening. Enjoyed the wine flight from Ram Cellars and the tasty, creative food offerings. Will definitely be back!

A MUST go. Such an awesome and wholesome ambiance. Awesome wines, even better service, and the vegan food is to die for (we didn’t even know we were eating vegan Brie cheese)!

Whether you like wine or vegan food you'll be happy here! Went for a birthday where we accidentally skipped lunch that day and left full and satisfied. We did the fondue for 2 and the 2 person charcuterie board, both were excellent! I don't know much about wine so did their mixed drinks and had one of the best negronis I've ever tasted. We will 100% be going back either for drinks and snack or a meal. Oh also when I got the bill I was surprised by how affordable everything was. Since we were there for a B-day we didn't skimp getting drinks or anything it still was super reasonable.

We LOVED this place! We stopped by yesterday as we were in the neighborhood and will definitely coming back. Very cozy and baby/child friendly until 8 pm. The charcuterie board had very generous portions, and the balsamic cashew cheese was incredible. The staff is lovely! Hope this local gem sticks around!!

Anyone who enjoyed Fermenter will remember this space, now a cozy upscale wine bar. The menu can be confusing at first glance, full of meats and cheeses, but turns out everything is 100% plant based and totally delicious. Lots of gf options also. We were greeted with a friendly "do you have a reservation?" and worried for a sec that we'd need to keep walking on this beautiful Saturday evening, but we were seated immediately with plenty of choices indoors or outside with choices from a half dozen intimate two top tables inside, several small tables outside under the awning, or a nice big patio on the side street which would be fabulous for a larger group. There is also a cozy nook inside the corner window with comfy chairs that looked perfect for hanging out, enjoying some wine or apertivo, and enjoying the evening. That area was full and I suspect highly coveted by regulars. We weren't looking to imbibe tonight so skimmed over the wine options to the zero proof section. The flights sounded amazing and I'll have to come back and appreciate those offerings. I really appreciate that there are also zero proof and "low proof" options including cocktails with n/a spirits and wine. It's nice that this is a place where drinkers and non drinkers can all enjoy thoughtfully curated drinks together with no one feeling like they are missing out. We got the first two n/a cocktails featuring Monday zero proof spirits which were both as fancy as any boozy cocktail, served over crushed ice. "When Doves Sigh" was light, complex, a little spicy, a little smoky, a little bitter. "Dionysus Dream" was very shrub-forward with that sweet vinegary tang. Then the savory options. It was hard to choose! We had to try the fondue for two. Vegan fondue? Seriously? Yeah, it was worth it. Basically a charcuterie board with a side of hot melty cheese for dipping. The fondue was mild with a little black pepper. We also tried the fancy ham and cheese sandwich with a briny kick of marinate artichoke. I'm really looking forward for coming back and trying other shareables! One of the nicest bathrooms in Portland. Seriously, immaculately clean with real towels and ample hooks. Tip: check out the puzzles! There's a big jar on the bar full of small round metal tins containing clever little puzzles! Plus wooden trays for puzzling on. Very handy when the food shows up and you suddenly need the entire table space for all the deliciousness. And then you clean the plates and want to finish that puzzle.

Nectaris is awesome! Reservations and Parking Street parking is relatively easy. You can make reservations online but if you try to call to make a reservation, there's no answer. Ambiance There is indoor and outdoor seating. I chose outdoor because I'm very Covid cautious. The outdoor seating is under an awning so it's shaded and protected from rain. It also has basil and other herbs growing in planters in the outdoor seating area. Just lovely. Food I love that everything here is vegan. The food was delicious. I feel like the menu is all just different ways to eat cheese and bread haha. But I'm not complaining. I got fondue because how often can you get vegan fondue amiright? I'm pretty sure the sausage on the fondue platter is the field roast breakfast sausage links. My partner got a grilled turkey sandwich with prime roots turkey. Bathrooms The bathroom is really nice. I used it twice because I drink a lot of water which means I pee more than the average person. It's painted black but has elegant gold accents. There's a hook for your purse and there are real towels so no noisy air dryers and no wasteful paper towels.

What a beautiful and mellow spot. Drinking options for all on their menu and yummy snackies and desserts to try. We enjoyed and game of clue, some truffles and wine, as well as a zero proof French 75! Good vibes and toons while our server Jennie was sweet, knowledgeable and kind. Would 100% come back and would recommend for friends or first date vibes! Swoon!
