I had the 1/2 slab with chicken combo.. Very tender and flavorful* mac n cheese was really good too.. Not a fan of the thick and chunky potato salad.. Overall I'd definitely recommend and return The staff were all very friendly and gave My son chips until the line shortened .. Bring cash to tip waitress who are constantly catering to guest*

This place is a hidden gem. Tucked further south from the maddening crowds, you can get in and have a really nice dinner experience without a hassle. The presentation and service were excellent and we both loved our food. Read the other reviews and good points about prices and parking, but these were small issues for us. Nice job Porter!

Truth be told, I don't remember which flavours I sampled at Oregon Ice Works. There are two reasons for this: the least forgivable one, certainly, is that it has 'already' been three weeks since I had my first spoonful of the frozen delight, & a lot has happened since then - heartbreaking events like the end of the Olympics, or my going back to hometown Montreal. Confronted with such wrecking disasters, the memories of OIW quickly slipped away.The second reason (more understandable, I believe) is the charismatic young man who sold me the said product. Now I was there on an important, if unoriginal, mission: to taste the best Portland has to offer, of course. However, I somehow got distracted by the cute face, the friendly smile, the lively chat, the smooth manners. It is mostly his fault if I cannot properly comment on what I ate at OIW; but it's also because of him that I can (honestly) write on one of the best customer services I've experienced. Thanks Ian!

I was really hoping Soul Fire would be something special since Redbones my go-to BBQ place has been slipping lately. I decided to order the pulled chicken with mac n cheese and fries, and got a beer. Pluses: The food came quickly. The sides were really tasty, if the portions of the mac and my bro's potatoes were teensy. I liked the variety of BQ sauces. The cornbread was really yummy! We ordered the fried dough with honey butter for dessert and it was yummy, an unexpected treat. Minuses: The meat. Shockingly dry. It seemed like they roasted a chicken, then cut it, then tossed it in a smidge of sauce. This was not pulled chicken, it was chicken pieces. I will give it one more shot, but for a BBQ place to have "just okay" meat is wrong.

I finally went here for a full dinner as opposed to the 10 $1 tapas (which are very good but they are not really tapas, they are really bite size pinchos). The other reviewers have summed up the atmosphere perfectly - its sexy. The food combines bistro style entres such as steak frites, duck and lamb, with southwestern sauces and spices. The four of us started with the trio of ceviches and the mussels. The mussels were very original, in a spicey thick sauce..yum. The ceviches were mostly veggie and not enough fish. All of our meaty entres were great except they definitely sacrifice portion size for presentation. The drink menu included southwestern standards such as margaritas and mojitos. The wine list was way way over prices even for a nice restaurant and they have the biggest selection of tequilas anywhere.
