Incredible food!  The service, the wine, the fabulous beet salad, the perfectly cooked trout, absolutely no complaints.
               
              
              
                
                Please do not order trout done in the Normandy manner.  A diva in the kitchen decided that Portlanders would like curled and very overcooked fish. A desecration.  This happened several years ago and I have not been back.  But planning to give them another overpriced chance.
               
              
              
                
                Fabulous, carefully crafted food. Service is uneven. Typical Pearl district look and feel.
               
              
              
                
                Paley's Place is a true "dining experience" from the excellent food, to the ambiance (particularly eating on the porch), to the wait staff.

                Even things I don't normally like are better than I could imagine at Paley's.  Sometimes you need to make reservations early, but there is a reason this place is popular.  I suggest going to the website to see what's on the menu as it changes seasonally.  Sustainability is a big thing at Paley's.  T... 
               
              
              
                
                A very happy find - by accident.  Marrakesh was full and couldn't take us til much later (what recession?) so we walked a block and found Paleys.  The staff was wonderfully helpful and friendly.  My crab salad with truffles was superb, and my wife raved about her chicken entree.   The waiter was not...
