Wow! This was one of the best dining experiences I have had yet in the 4 years I have lived in Portland. Amazing staff and service. Incredible flavor combinations! Paleo friendly. Thanks for a great night! We will be back soon :)
I really loved everything this place has to offer from the veggie platters like the carrots and creme fresh to the best watermelon salad and then I vaguely remember something salmon
Can't say enough good things about this place. The people, the menu, and the overall vibe are all first rate.
This place is food and art. Every taste is a experience. Oh and don’t forget the great service.
The staff is always friendly, the food sublime, and Jenny takes the time to make you feel at home. With a rotating menu to highlight what is in season, the chef deftly combines flavored that please the palate and the appetite. Highly recommend this restaurant!
Went here this past Saturday for a girls night. You order dishes and split them. This place has the best wine and food! Definitely when I am in town again, I will be coming back. The tostadas and fried Mac were out of this world delicious.
One of my favorite places in Portland. Fried rice, wagyu steak skewer, and the tuna cone are all winners.
Best Restaurant in Portland! The food is amazing and the staff is the best! Jenny, Nina, Brett and Jared really know how to take care of their patrons!
Went here on a Tuesday night with 6 friends. Amazing food, drinks and the service was excellent. Thanks for taking great care of us!

This place has a wonderful vibe. The food is fabulous- creative and tasty, and the service is superb.
I love everything about this place! The food is outstanding. So creative and flavorful without being fussy or overwhelming. All the dishes were complimentary of each other and left us feeling satisfied, nourished and looking forward to coming back soon.
From the first phone call until the end of the meal our service was top notch. You guys rock. Thanks for a great dinner and service!
This place is great! Food & service are top notch! (Save room for all the desserts or your loss!)
Went there Wednesday night with My Wife and a friend and the place was AMAZING. Brett the bartender was unbelievably talented and created the best cocktails ever and the food was outta this world. The staff was friendly and everybody in this place was busting their butt to get the orders out. The place was moderately packed and there wasn't a sad face in the crowd. This Georgia boy HIGHLY recommends that anybody visiting Portland swing by grab some food and cocktails.
Perfect food and amazing palate of flavors. These guys allow everyone to enjoy a great restaurant. Always ultimately impressed.
Great food and staff. The dishes were fresh well presented. I would go there again.
Mind blowing, amazing, and simply the best American food I've ever had. To top that the service was great from start to finish.
Inventive, wholesome, smart flavor & texture balance approach. Cheerful & fun.
I noticed that service at The American Local is really great, leaps and bounds higher than similar establishments. The menu serves up drinks abound- draft beer, wine sake, cocktails etc, plus family style plates at a range of sizes. Lots of tapas and drinking food, plus larger plates- looks like an eclectic mix sure to satisfy most cravings. We enjoyed the freshness of the salads (assume farmer's market quality) and all of the seafood options. The roasted oyster were divine. The interior is fun, bright and airy with a casual bar-like atmosphere, a nice addition to the happening Division scene.
Excellent service. The food menu is a motley and interesting collection of different items. I had a fish with red curry that was wonderful. Also a celery root salad that was excellent. They do have items like mac and cheese which I haven't tried but would probably keep everyone happy. If you are the sort of person that thinks when they spend more than 5$ on a menu item that the dish is very large then probably not the place for you. Think along the lines of tapas style dishes.
Great place for small plates to share. The food is wonderful and the drinks are delicious. The wait staff is helpful and nice. There are shared tables so be nice to your neighbors they might share their sake with you. You can it get by the ounce. You could also sit at the bar and marvel at the chefs.
They have such unique items on the menu and create intensely delicious flavors in every dish! Additionally, their extremely friendly and warming staff make it the best environment to eat a meal like one you've never had before! Our server Anthony was especially considerate and inviting with knowledge of the ever changing menu.
It was my 1st time in the Portland area in many years, so I dropped in to see what this spot was all about. I am glad I had too because everything went great. One worker named Brett was very knowledgeable and helpful w his suggestions. All of the staff were kind and the atmosphere was a really cool vibe. The food was delicious and the beer cold. 10/10 everything. I'm going to have to put that guy Brett in for a raise. I would definitely recommend and return.
Absolutely the most deliciously unique dining experience! Eat at your own pace in this super hip Portland hot spot. Seasoned roasted corn, flank steak skewers grilled to perfection. Roasted oysters are divine...but leave room for perfection in dessert!
Four of us shared six different items. The items I definitely remember was the Raw California Halibut, flank steak skewers, fried chicken! We Loved Everything! And their cocktails Rock! We sat outside and the people watching was great too!
We are visiting from Toronto and this was the best meal we've had all trip! Each plate was delicious and there were numerous unique flavours to choose from. Start with the cumin, avocado carrots and go from there! Wish we lived closer to Portland so we could come back for the next menu!
