    This is my go-to place for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and other big-time events. The best time to go is early in the evening, before the crowds descend and the noise level becomes problematic. But it is lovely to have an hour or two before this happens. Our waiter was very patient, attentive to our needs, and very present. He checked on us several times as we were ordering drinks, appetizers and dinners and desserts. His enthusiasm for the foods there was apparent as he described various parts of the menu. We left feeling very satisfied with the quality of the experience there, especially the high quality of the food, and also of the staff. Thank you, Cabezon staff!

    We had a recent family celebration for 6 and the service and food were just great. Several of us had the mussels and chorizo, big favorites. Our waiter kindly brought us Caesar salads without radicchio, which none of us like, and was very accommodating and attentive with our large group. This is becoming our special go-to place for a nice dinner.

    I love this restaurant . Consistently good year after year. I had the sword fish and my wife had the Cioppino and they were both marvelous. We shared a Caesar salad that was also perfect. The atmosphere is both festive and animated and yet intimate. They have lovely cocktails and great wine selection.

    We dined in the charming side room where it was very quiet. As usual, the seafood was delicious and inventive, combining interesting ingredients to great effect. We especialy loved the shrimp on glass noodles with cashew samba sauce. Also the grilled uku was done to perfection and was served with several vegetables that were absolutely delicious. Our waiter was attentive but not hovering and the ambience was conducive to conversation. A wonderful evening at what has become my favorite Portland restaurant.

    Cabezon continues to be a neighborhood favorite. Our recent experience celebrating a family birthday was excellent -- from the moment we entered to the time we departed we enjoyed our time here. The food, the service, the ambience all made our evening a success.
