Arden is an idyllic retreat tucked into Portland's Pearl District. Arden delivers seasonal Pacific Northwest cuisine and an award-winning wine program featuring over 250 bottles, many with bottle age. Guests have the option to dine a la carte or enjoy the chef's prix fixe menu ($70): a shared experience that features 4 courses of seasonal cuisine. Coursed wine pairings are also available ($45).

Arden is named in homage to Shakespeare's famous forest - a place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and appreciate nature's bounty and beauty. The restaurant invites you to take an exiting culinary adventure through the Pacific Northwest, and explore the incredible range of ingredients that the region has to offer.

Beaux Frères Winemaker Dinner
$250.00 per person
Prepaid
Feb 3, 2025 only
6:00 PM
For the first time ever, Beaux Frères will be represented by second-generation winemaker Mikey Etzel, the son of founder Michael Etzel. Mikey has been at the helm since 2016, crafting exceptional wines that have earned widespread acclaim—and now, we’re thrilled to put him in the spotlight. This once-in-a-lifetime event will offer guests the rare opportunity to taste through a vertical of Beaux Frères Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir, from 2016 (the year Mikey took over) to 2022. Seven vintages, each with its unique expression, will be paired with a carefully crafted 4-course menu by our own Chef Erik Van Kley. With only 30 seats available, this intimate evening is sure to sell out quickly. Ticket price includes service charge.

Everything was great, especially served by Mr. Nicolas and Ms Nitch. The food was good.. I was sitting at the counter and seeing all the action. Then I realized that people who hosting, sitting and hanging coats (it means contacting all peoples) after come back to behind to kitchen area to cut the breads without gloves then serve to people… (it means no washing hands, I did follow up their movements). I was so surprised more like shocked. I couldn’t mention at that moment. I thought it could not or shouldn’t happen if it’s in COVID time…I guess it’s ok now? or let me ask other websites opinions. Google, TripAdvisor and Tock ?

My husband and I had a date night last week and chose Arden to enjoy. We ordered 3 dishes and all 3 were fantastic. I am a foodie and love to cook. The recipes Arden serves are amazing. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try.
