From the OpenTable editors: When Le Pigeon opened in 2006, it put Portland on the culinary map. The best seats in the intimate, brick-walled dining room are at the chef’s counter, where you’ll get a front row view of multi-James Beard Award-winner Gabriel Rucker’s dazzling, French-forward dishes. Cap the evening with playful desserts that could include foie gras profiteroles or a glass from the luscious Oregon- and French-centric wine list.

    Wonderful meal. Only downside is the expense, more than $500 with 25% tip. Special night for sure though and the service and food are wonderful.

    Server was in a hurry to take our order for the four of us, placed an order of cocktails a bottle of white wine and a bottle of red wine. He came to the table with two glasses (not 8). Amuse Bouche showed up, no cocktails or wine yet. Amuse Bouche was cold and bland. White wine arrived, I asked for two more glasses. Cocktails arrived along with the first course…beef carpaccio but no red wine yet. Asked again for the red wine and four more glasses. The red wine showed up after we had eaten our beef. I would go on but the service never got better and the food was disappointing as well. I expected much more from a French restaurant and a bill north of $1000.

    What an experience! The food was unique and well designed. Each dish had a great flavor. We loved every dish! The wine pairing was well thought out and each went well with the corresponding dish. The staff was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Great venue for food lovers and for a special occasion.

    Expensive but nice experience overall. Food was mostly tasty (lobster pierogi dough was too tough) and well done. We shared the extra dish of foie. quantity was about right. Chose the "reserve" wine pairing, which was okay but underwhelming, were served 5 whites: bubble / vermint / semillon / riesling / greuner, 1 Burg pinot (non grand / premier cru). Seating somewhat close along wall.

    Everything was wonderful!! My only complaint is the value for what you got. Very small portions, very good. I just wish it wasn’t a prefix menu and so expensive.

    Thank you to everyone at Le Pigeon for a wonderful night. We were given the best seats in the house to celebrate my mother's birthday, and everyone on staff made the night special for her, especially Nadia and Sean. They prepared an amazing meal, and delightful conversation. The wine pairings were also lovely. Always an amazing experience and wonderful new culinary delights to try.
