No Bones Beach Club - PDX

Walking into No Bones is neat - we were taken aback by the funky tiki bar atmosphere. Definitely a cool date place.

We ordered two dishes - cauliflower wings and crab cakes. Both were truly unbelievable. Even the vegan ranch was impressive. Kudos to the chefs - they are magicians.

This was awhile ago, don't even really remember the day of the week. There was an hour long wait for my party of 4 so we went across the street to Mississippi Studios, sat by the fire and drank some beer while we waited.
The people at No Bones were so kind! They gave us this huge table that normally needs to be reserved.
Anyways, the food was just mind blowing. I got the jackfruit nachos along with a couple of their deliciously creamy pina coladas!
A vegans tiki dream!

My hubby and I stopped by at 5:30pm on a Saturday evening. The restaurant wasn't very busy. 3 servers behind the bar, and at least one on the floor. Once seated, we weren't helped right away, and once we did order drinks, it took a very long time for them to arrive. The $8 red blend wine was on the low side of a 6oz pour. The $6 beer was on the low side of 10oz. We had the tempeh kabobs ($12) which were fine and the nachos ($12). The nachos, a terrible value, were mainly a stack of fried corn strips drizzled with the house cashew cheese. The nachos didn't have much of any topping of the advertised corn and bean salsa and at least 1/2 the chips had no "cheese sauce" on them. The meal's final cost for the two of us was $45, and we didn't see the value. Also, the manager/owner MUST address the greasy, slippery dining room floor. It's very slippery. When I asked why it was so slippery, I was told the oil was being tracked out from the kitchen. What is the floor like in the kitchen? Ugh!!

Our food was soooo good. The eggplant spears are the best fried food I have ever had in my life. We got the Taro sandwich, pineapple soycurl lettuce wraps, and a cup of the oyster mushroom soup. Every dish was so flavorful, beautiful, and came out piping hot. The lightning is a little too dark with funky rad lighting to get a good photo of the food. Trust me, it's beautiful and colorful! Love!
Downside, our server never came to refill our water or check on us at all (it wasn't busy either) the cocktail was heavy on the ice low on the booze, and we found a red produce bag string in our sandwich. Gladly we didn't swallow the long string, the manager was kind and apologized though. :)
We would still love to come again because I'm sure all of the servers aren't as inattentive and I'm sure the string thing was just a freak accident. I look forward to coming back!

We have been to the Seattle location and loved it! So good to see a Portland site. Great drinks, great and unique food, excellent and I mean excellent service, and drinks that are out of sight!!! I am so full but already planning our next trip.
