Cabezon

A time honored place that feels fresh and contemporary but trusted and true. We were able to make a reservation online about an hour before we wanted to eat. As soon as we arrived we were greeted and seated. Service was excellent, noise level perfect, it was comfortable and approachable. Everything we ordered was delicious! We had:Cioppino - plentiful and flavorful. Slightly spicy. Monkfish - really delicious, perfectly prepared. Mussels - slightly indulgent with all those fries and chorizo. Gorgeous broth. Generous portion. Even got a complimentary scoop of ice cream for my mom's birthday. Very nice!

Hadn't been to Cabezon since a couple of visits close to when they started business & was pleasantly surprised.They offer a fairly limited menu, but everything we tried was excellent & very fairly priced for Portland. The mussels were wonderful & made us not miss La Moule so much. The Caesar is great version, not the cookie cutter replica one finds in far too many places. The duck breast was, perhaps, one of the 2-3 best I've had anywhere for many years. Ditto for the pork chop. Mixed drinks were superb & I'm kind of a Manhattan snob & have a hard time finding ones as good or better than mine. The wine list offers only a few bottles that weren't this or last year's releases, but is reasonably diverse & priced. Cabezon will be back on our rotation of places to go for sure - nice place, people & great food at a reasonable price.

This is a special place. The menu rotates to what is in season and is carefully curated to perfection. We made reservations earlier in the day and adjusted them to add to more friends easily. The staff quickly accommodated. The service was flawless. Water was continuously, refilled drinks checked on, recommendations made, and all the food came out perfectly timed. The staff was on point and kept the flow of the evening seamless. We enjoyed a variety of delectable dishes that tantalized each one of us.

Had a nice time at Cabezon! The ambiance was nice. We were seated quickly and the staff were friendly.We seriously tried almost some of everything...Caviar, Pork chops, Steak, Cioppino, Scallops, Oysters, and more. We also tried the cheese platter and marinated olives.I really enjoyed the Scallops and Oysters. My dining companions enjoyed their food as well. The portion sizes were generous, the service was good, and I would definitely go back again.

A great place to dine; friendly staff and great service in a cozy dim light ambience. The food was delicious! We will continue to eat here.

For our last meal in Oregon, Mrs and the youngest daughter wanted to eat at Cabezon due to good Yelp reviews. Oldest daughter and I decided to finish leftover from all our previous meals instead. We decided to get food to go so that we all could eat together at our hotel. Mrs ordered cioppino and the youngest daughter ordered pork chop. There was a decent amount of seafood in the cioppino and the broth was good. But over all, not as good as the California version. Also, Mrs only got three skinny one inch toasts for dipping, insufficient. The youngest daughter was disappointed with the mesquite grilled pork chop. She said the pork chop was tender but lacking in favor. The mesquite smoke taste was too faint. The corn cake and zucchini were good tasting. The one-piece pork chop dish at $32 was overpriced. She was still hungry after her meal. Oldest daughter and I were glad that we didn't order any food.

Warm, cozy farm-to-table spot for carefully prepared Pac NW food. The Basil and Phyllo wrapped shrimp was delicious, and the mussels with chorizo and saffron rouille were absolutely yummy (made a great leftover lunch with some crusty toasted sourdough the next day). The fries were perfectly crisp, and served with truffle aioli. The pork chop, lamb loin, and sea bass were all excellent.The mac and cheese was good, although it came to the table lukewarm (would've been great to have had this steaming on that cold, rainy night).The service was great - very friendly and attentive. Recommend.

Awesome restaurant based on reviews from Yelp, Google and Trip advisors. My family tried this restaurant to reward ourselves after doing the Seattle to Portland cycling ride. We started with appetizers, Oysters and one of the freshest I've tasted. The pate is great (not pictured) and Mac and Cheese is good. Nothing special but it's done right. The duck confit served with kale and mushroom frittata is delicious however the salad came with it is over seasoned with salt. The lamb look is cooked medium rare and so delectable. Desserts the homed made ice cream and Lavander crème brûlée was perfect way to end our meal. Each one of us left out our plate cleaned and left .

Let's begin with the service, because it was superb. The entire staff was so friendly and attentive. Couldn't have asked for better service! The food was good. Definitely over ordered. Mussels and oysters were my favorite. Everything was a bit too salty. Which is why the 4 stars. Otherwise great vibes!

Menu was small, and for good reason. Every dish was fantastic, and the Caesar was one of the best. Quiet, cozy ambiance and just-right service, too. Can't wait to go back!
