Urdaneta is a masterclass in intimate, high-end dining. We booked two weeks out for a birthday celebration, and it was worth every bit of the hype. The Vibe: The space is small but incredibly well-organized, hummed with energy without feeling crowded. The service was top-notch—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. They even kicked off our night with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine for a birthday toast. The Food: Every tapa we ordered was a "wow" moment. The flavors are bold, authentic, and beautifully plated. • Must-Haves: Don't even think about leaving without ordering the chocolate cake. It’s rich, decadent, and the perfect finish. The Verdict: If you want an elevated, foodie-approved experience in PDX, this is it. Just make sure you snag that reservation early!

We went to this Spanish restaurant, and as a Spaniard, I have to say the experience was great. Andrew took care of us and was super friendly the whole time. He explained every dish and even told us a bit about the restaurant’s story. The food was amazing. After three years living in the U.S., this is honestly the best Spanish food I’ve had here. Everything tasted authentic and really delicious. Definitely a place I highly recommend!

Obviously the food is the star of the show, and it did not disappoint. But the service here is literally the best I've ever experienced in Portland. Everyone we interacted with was smiling and warm and very helpful. They explained every dish as they set it down, and were knowledgeable of the wine and made suggestions to pair with our dinner. Bravo Urdaneta, THIS is how you run a restaurant.

Urdaneta offers an extraordinary culinary experience in Portland. Every dish was beautifully crafted, unique, flavorful, and full of character. What truly elevated our evening, however, was the exceptional service from our server, Nathan. His warmth, charm, and deep knowledge of both the menu and the diverse regions of Spain that inspire it made the meal not only delicious but also genuinely enriching. Nathan’s thoughtful wine pairings complemented each course perfectly, and his storytelling brought an added depth to the dining experience. The combination of exquisite flavors and outstanding hospitality sparked engaging conversation throughout a beautiful and memorable night.

The perfect tapas restaurant! Felt like we were transported back to Europe. Such an amazing variety of tapas - some local and seasonal, some classic staples. All the perfect bite size. And so, so yummy. Cocktails were innovate and delicious. The sherry flight that they paired with our meal was out of this world! We were an hour early to our reservation and they were still able to accommodate us at their lovely outdoor seating area. Staff was so friendly and helpful! Would absolutely go back to see how their menu evolves and get some classic croquetas.
