Tasty n Alder

Went for brunch and couldn’t have made a better choice! There was a long wait and almost 2 hour wait, but we managed to snag a couple of seats at the bar after about 15 minutes. And that’s how the feast began. Great cocktails made by friendly and knowledgeable bartenders. Not only did they look pretty they also tasted great. Whether you wanted something light and refreshing like the Moscow Mule, savory spicy like the Tasty Mary or complex and deep like the Rawhide - there’s no going wrong. The Potatoes Bravas were decent, the Korean Fried Chicken tasty, but what blew me away was the Polenta n Sugo. Savory and rich with great unctuous flavors of the braised pork shoulder and belly - the polenta was creamy and the juices from the pork made it even more scrumptious. Can’t wait to go back - would have waited two hours for this!

The food was delicious! I ate dinner and brunch there and neither disappointed one bit! Be prepared for a wait but know that it's worth it. The plates are served tapas/family style so pick a few to share.The bim bop bacon and eggs was a bit spicy but definitely my favorite brunch dish I tried. The grilled octopus for dinner was incredible. A must-try in Portland!

Good service, decent choice of breakfast options! I liked the cream that was served with biscuits instead of the gravy. The maple syrup was peachy and the French roasts were made of very thick bread. Tasted very nice. The turndown was Korean chicken, which was overly priced for what it was, just the normal Korean flavored stuff. They did not have any French Vanilla creamer for coffee, just the regular half and half, whole milk, soy milk. Good experience overall!

The best part about Tasty n Adler was the food. The plates are big enough to share and still feel like satisfied with everything ordered from the menu. The staff was great. Super helpful when helping choose food and beverages/cocktails options. Very trendy place.

Went to this place on recommendation from a friend. The food was good but just a bit over-priced. Some dishes took a little long to come out. Half of our group had finished eating before one person got his food. Seems really popular though so call ahead if you can because the wait can get kind of long.

Came in on a Friday morning for brunch. Wait was around 45m but we gave them our number and they called us about 5 minutes before the table was ready. Our waitress was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu and the speed of the kitchen was awesome. We loved all of the food and we'll definitely be back again!

Excellent, excellent brunch. The queue is epic unless you take your chances at the bar. It's survival of the fittest here in order to get a spot. We did, and it paid off. The sides were delicious: a naughtily buttery, warm biscuit that my thighs won't be thanking me for but more than satiated my instant gratification; creamy mustard cabbage; and sweet and spicy cumin maple yam. The fried chicken biscuit sandwich was also a winner. Service was great. The fifth star was lost because at the end of the meal, my bag and scarf (on the floor next to our stools) were soaking wet from their drain or dishwasher which was leaking. The server was very helpful but said that this happened frequently. In that case, perhaps there needs to be a sign, or they shouldn't sit people there, or they should call a plumber?!

My first time at Tasty n Adler and not my last! The service was fantastic regardless of the bustling pace. Arrived and ordered in the nick of time because the seats fill up quickly. I genuinely appreciated that the food included fresh ingredients, seasoned appropriately and my steak was perfectly cooked. All this goodness pulled together made for a delicious dining experience. I will definitely be socializing this restaurant with others. ❤
