    We had an outstanding dinner her with seasonal and local ingredients. Inventive cocktail list, too. Simple dining room, friendly staff. So sorry to learn that it closed.

    My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful meal at BSC. From start to finish, the food was delicious and unique. The service was great and she was very knowledgeable of the menu and gave perfect recommendations. The atmosphere is quiet and cozy with very few tables. We also loved that the chef, Nicholas, came over to our table and chatted for a bit. BSC definitely makes our cut for a regular spot we will go to when in Portland.

    I ordered the squab dinner. I asked for well-done and it came to my table pink. The chef then cooked it properly. But the portion was tiny-hardly filling. They did offer us comped desserts which was very nice. I left the restaurant feeling hungry and had to go out for more food an hour later!

    Our dining experience at Bolster, Snow, and Co was outstanding. Very creative appetizer of shishito peppers. My seafood entree was absolutely perfect, and my wife’s clams and linguini Was terrific. 2nd time we’ve dined there this summer and loved it both times

    We've been to Bolster & Snow 4 times. The first several times were fantastic, the last time wasn't. The experience was completely different, we we're wondering if the chef has changed.

    We selected this restaurant because it was listed in the 2018 Best of Portland. It was listed as best new restaurant & 2nd best overall restaurant. We were VERY disappointed. As a vegetarian the selection for me was limited to 1 entree, Zucchini Fettuccine, and it was MUCH TOO salty and the other dishes my friends got were too!!! The best thing on the menu was the avocado toast.

    Loved the pasta that was freshly made and mixed with lamb and exquisite sauce and spices, and for dessert the blueberries in a tasty shell with fennel ice cream. Great place for a date or special occasion, or dinner with your foodie friends. Very understated yet sophisticated dining room and bar. You will love this place!

    Amazing experience and I will definitely go back. Only 2 issues were that the home made pasta was over cooked and I would recommend the chef using bigger pasta bowls (the bowls used were filled up to the rim). Those small tweaks will make it one of the very best dining experiences in Portland!

    Our group of five tried two pastas, the special sea bass, and the zucchini noodles with a soubise sauce. We started with three breads (avocado and lobster toasts, and a maple butter/loaf.) Everything was superb except the rather plain loaf/butter and the woody tomatoes with the sea bass--in August that was rather shocking. The zucchini noodles dish was a revelation. The toasts were perfection. Seating was comfortable. The service was attentive. The restaurant should be fully booked and the only reason I believe we could get in last minute on a Saturday night is that there is SO much new competition in Portland. Also, the restaurant could use some exterior pizazz to attract the Tandem crowd.
