Leeward falls into the rare category of "dining experiences that haunt my dreams and places I'll wistfully think about if I ever move away". Every aspect of our experience was sensational from the moment we stepped through the door. Th
Yuuuuuup.
Do it do it do it. I was admittedly unsure about Leeward, you know the whole "upscale" Italian that ends up being a smidgen above a bottld of Ragu thing? Whelp, Leeward is the exact opposite, are they a bit pricey, yes. Is it worth it, also

12/5 stars This is hands-down my favorite restaurant in Portland. My significant other and I have been coming here for over two years, and we still get just as excited every time we make a reservation. The wine selection is excellent, and the menu o
This restaurant is a gem. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service attentive and knowledgeable. Excellent wine list! The olive oil ice cream was sensational!

Still my favorite restaurant in Portland and top 5 in the US. Love coming with a group and ordering as much as possible off the menu. Favorite dish this go around was the spicy pork ragu pasta. Service and ambiance were just as good as always!
I feel this place was over hyped.
Don't get me wrong, the food was good but not the best I've eaten good. We were seated at the chefs counter, which when I booked was exciting based on past experiences I've had. However, on arrival found that there was no view of the o
The best pasta I've ever eaten.
I've been all over the world. Had old world Italian men hand roll pasta in front of me that wasn't this good. It breaks my heart I don't live here and can't eat it every day. Chef Jake is an incredible man. And the restaurant look
Really wonderful dinner tonight.
Grilled little gems and Mushroom crostone were amazing. Sacchetoni pasta dish was warm and delicious. Cocktails were unique and flavorful. Service was very attentive without being overbearing. Loved everything about this quiet little hidden gem.
Amazing experience! I can see why the Chef was a
Amazing experience! I can see why the Chef was a semifinalist in James beard award for best chef! Everything from appetizer, to cocktail, to main meals to dessert was excellent!
Leeward was a wonderful experience.
From the modern interior to the pleasant service, I would definitely return. We shared the butter lettuces and the chicken liver pate, which was the best texture of any spread I've had before. We also shared 2 pastas. The fusilli with pea pesto
Great 'Italian style' food
Very good Italian Style food, but don't on a modern way. Nice dining room and very friendly and efficient service. Great wine selection
A Love Letter to Leeward and Their Rigatoni
Leeward, you’ve got a fan for life! I’m absolutely obsessed with this place, and the rigatoni, in particular, has my heart. It’s the ultimate comfort meal, and if I lived closer, I’d be here several times a week. Every time I’m in Portland
You are missing out if you dine at Leeward
We stumbled upon Leeward after a wine tasting with friend at Grippy Tannins. It’s been a favorite ever since. The drink & food menu are always changing but one staple to the menu is the chicken liver pate we get it every time delicious! The sta
Lovely experience
Fabulous cocktails! The Negroni Verde is a must try. Very good food. Excellent service. If you didn't reserve, they take walk-ins at the bar.
On the Gotta Go List!
The thoughtful, eclectic and always very tasty interpretations of Italian cooking make this one of our must-do restaurants in Portland. Every meal is an experience and the vibe is very energetic. Our server was very knowledgeable about both the menu
To quote Arnold, 'I'll be back'.
Leeward was recently a 2024 James Beard Foundation nominee for Best Chef, Northeast, so it's no wonder that the restaurant has had so many accolades since it opened in 2020. I finally had dinner here and got one of their most popular dishes, the

Having now been to Leeward another 4-5 times since my last review I thought an update was in order. At this point I've had roughly 30-35 different dishes and can say that Jake and his crew have really hit their stride. Though there were a couple of m

The staff was awesome and the vibes were cool, but for the pricepoint this place was good not great. My girlfriend, who loves this type of food said it was like a 7 or an 8 and I agree. Cocktails and wine list were decent, but again, a tad pricy fo
Everyone hyped up this place to me to come see on my visit
Everyone hyped up this place to me to come see on my visit to Portland. It was easy to get a seat for one person. Very chill ambience, more like a cafe than a restaurant feeling. The bread was delicious with the oil, unfortunately they charge a whole
Leeward is great
Leeward is a great restaurant for Italian cuisine. The food is delicious. The cocktails are tasty. Fantastic place to dine.

Evidently this is currently one of the "it" restaurants in Portland. We got there on a Saturday before the doors opened at 5 PM, and were first in line. Within minutes, there was a long line, but as we were first, we not only got in but lu
Great restaurant.
Good food and drink. Will be back. Service with a smile Portland is the best
An impulsive wonderful experience!
On our way to first night galleries we went on a whim as walk ins hoping to get a spot at the bar. There was a table we could have if we were out in an hour and a half ! Well, the service was friendly ,informed and excellent. The food was wonderful
Great food
Really great food. Enjoyed the rigatoni, tagliatelle, spaghettini, squash blossoms, snap peas and tuna crudo. The cocktails were delightful as well.
Great ambience, service, and food.
We had a great meal here. The ravioli was to die for and the lemon spaghetti was equally as good. The bread as a starter was also extremely good. As the title suggests, the ambience was fantastic as well. I couldn’t give it a 5 though because o
Lovely food but small portions- warm but perfunctory service.
Overall Leeward is a solid night out. But there were a few things that kept it from being exceptional. The pasta was delicious and lovingly prepared but felt less than generous, even not enough for one person. If the portion was slightly bigger I
Birthday delights, relaxing underneath these dim lights.
The focaccia gotcha, delicious with that oil. Maybe warm it up a little. Beginning to eat, recalling that the music had a strange beat. Server wanted to rush but eventually she went hush. Paid the toll then took the stroll.
We live locally and had high expectations based on the hype
We live locally and had high expectations based on the hype of Leeward being one of the best in Portland. Keep in mind they pretty much seem booked up 2 weeks for any reservations if you want to choose your ideal day and time. Walk-ins can be taken o
Not Great.
Canceled my reservation at another restaurant when I was referred to Leeward. Disappointed upon entering as my wife wanted to turn around and walk out. She thought we were in the wrong place and commented it looked like a cafeteria. Not very warm
I'd been hearing good things about Leeward for quite awhile
I'd been hearing good things about Leeward for quite awhile now and am so glad it lived up to all those positive reviews. Fairly simple unassuming decor, large bar area, nicely spaced tables, and some good soundproofing make Leeward a comfortable sp
We had an unbelievable experience at the chefs counter!
We had an unbelievable experience at the chefs counter! It's hard to decide what to order when everything coming out looks incredible. The space was big and bright, will be going back and trying a table seat too!
Excellent Italian in Portland
Excellent Italian in a charming setting (although the room is very large it felt very comfy and inviting). The pasta was outstanding. Perfectly cooked Al dente with delicious sauces. I had the bolognese and my husband had the large rigatoni with spi
Wonderful dinner - Leeward is not to be missed!
Went to Leeward earlier this month and this meal was easily among our top meals ever. We really like eating food that is different than what you can get at another restaurant, and also always ask the server for their particular recommendations. We
Inventive Italian
Fantastic meal! The menu isn’t your typical Italian. The dishes are unique, inventive and delicious. We all tried different items and all enjoyed them thoroughly. Nice atmosphere….lively but not too loud. Highly recommend.
Excellent Service Good Food
We enjoyed our meal at Leeward the service was excellent, and the food was very good. It was interesting to watch the food being prepared nearby. There were not a lot of menu choices, and it was a little bit expensive. We both had deserts which
Leeward is fab
Leeward is a gem. A very relaxing space, we had seats overlooking the kitchen which was fascinating, watching the chef crew working their magic. The staff were brilliant and a big thanks to the lady who recommended some excellent wines to us. The foo
Connect with users posting reservations for Leeward Portland
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Leeward Portland. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Leeward Portland at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Leeward Portland page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Leeward Portland to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Leeward Portland!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
