   We had not been back to BCV in quite a while, but it is just as good as ever, if not even better! Excellent choice of tapas, pintxos, and raciones, along with delicious cocteles.

   Very good tapas and drinks; the Gildas, the meatballs, and patatas brava were my favorites. Very helpful and attentive waitstaff. The ambiance in the firepit "outdoor" room is lovely.

   The dining experience was truly remarkable. I took my partner here for his birthday, and the waitress quickly acknowledged the occasion. Our drinks were outstanding, and I highly recommend trying the hibiscus fizzy soda; it was very refreshing. The dishes we ordered were not only visually appealing but also of exceptional quality. Although the restaurant was somewhat noisy, it did not detract from the enjoyable time we shared. The lighting created a romantic and calming atmosphere. I will definitely return.

   This was my 4th time here and it hits the mark every time. The food and atmosphere keep me coming back again and again. I’ll be back!

   The whole experience was really good! We chose to try different small dishes rather than a entree and it was so good to try different things! Also the patio is really cozy and perfect for a nice diner. We will come back.

    WARNING: Overpriced and very average food. But worst part is they have the nerve to add an automatic 23% service fee to cover the cost of their overhead. I never would have gone had I known this and wasn't hosting another couple. This was a change from last time. I will never go back and will advise everyone I know to avoid this place. They may think this is the new standard in Portland but will see and feel how this negatively affects their business in the next year. A professionally run restaurant knows their labor, cog and overhead costs and designs a menu based on those numbers. Let the customer decide if they are willing to pay those prices for those menu items and then ultimately what if any tip they want to leave based on the food and service and not on the inability of ownership to manage a balance sheet. Good luck...you'll need it
