    Average tapas in a nice environment. Overpriced for quality/authenticity.

    Theron provided very good service and the food was excellent. One comment about the jamon plate was that the meat was fabulous and the chips were fabulous, but eaten together, the chips overwhelmed the subtleties of the amazing jamon.

    This place has a very hip vibe and a lot of options for good tasting food within a reasonable price range. We opted for the tasting menu which included more than was advertised. Can’t possibly miss the Pulpo à la Gallega .

    The music level in the main area of dining room was high. Next time I will ask for the adjacent room with the heaters.

    I’ve been to Bar Casa Vale in the past and were very happy. This visit was a let down from start to finish. Upon arriving, the outside steel security door was closed presenting an uninviting first impression. We were then seated in the outside seating area which proved to be very chilly. We were somewhat surprised that we weren’t seated in the nicer indoor space, especially since we had made reservations. Upon being seated we waited nearly 15 minutes before the server arrived to take our drink order. Then when our drinks were brought to our table, one of our drinks was wrong. To BCV’s credit, they quickly noticed their mistake and brought the correct drink. The food order was mediocre at best. While the bacon dates were good, the other food was unexciting and the ribs were gristly to the point where it was difficult to cut through them. All in all not a good experience and far different from previous ones. Given this, I couldn’t recommend.

    First timers here!! Get the ‘Let us feed you’ tasting option for everyone in your party. You won’t be disappointed!! Everything from the roasted cauliflower to the deviled eggs to the mushroom orzo to the octopus to the steak was divine!!

    Love love love the food at Bar Casa Vale. Only wish they would keep everything on the menu all of the time :) I miss the brussels sprouts and the carrots. Everything is just so good I want to have it all! The Ryed or die cocktail is my go-to. YUM!!!!

    Favorite place for tapas in PDX. Tomato toast is best dish bar far on entire menu. Calamari and escarole salad we're only fair. We'll be back but urge you to add traditional tortilla to the menu. Thanks
