Good Wine - Great Service

I've been to Metrovino a couple of times - only drank, no eating. I've heard the food is very good however. We've bellied up to the bar a couple of times and every time the bartender is super friendly and very knowledgeable about the wines they are pouring (all 80+ of them...). I've usually gone with their wine recommendations and they haven't steered us wrong. In fact they introduced me to one of my new favorite wine - so much so I bought a case. They have a "bottle shop" at the restaurant so you can also take a bottle of your favorite home with you - very cool concept.

The other big perk to this place is they have a nice outdoor seating area - so now that the summer is here (almost!) and as it gets sunnier out this will be a much sought after hot spot.

Review for Metrovino

Take a look at our review from Willamette Week!

Metrovino is a restaurant, bar, and retail wine shop located in Portland's Pearl District, just a few walking blocks north of Jamison Square Park and on the Portland Street Car line.

Executive Chef Gregory Denton uses time-honored techniques and flavor combinations, with an occasional nod to the modern, to prepare fresh local ingredients simply and in season. Denton has trained across the country, spending four years at Chef Hiro Sone’s Terra and becoming the restaurant’s first titled Chef de Cuisine.

Using both an Enomatic wine system and a Perlage sparkling system, the bar features 80 plus wines by the taste, glass, or bottle, plus a list of locally distilled and internationally renowned spirits.
