What an absolutely great experience we had at Lilia! The entire staff was amazing, the food was delicious, the wine was sooo good, and the service and attention were incredible. The two ladies who took care of us were outstanding! I’m so bad with names and unfortunately don’t remember theirs but it was a tall lady and a younger, shorter lady lol. They were both amazing and made us feel so special the entire night. Thank you so much for making our anniversary dinner so special! We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!

What a happy meal this was! That it was delicious and healthy and vibrant only underscores the HAPPY.. what we chose was on a ‘familiar’ place and here was elevated, celebrated, reimagined with brightness and flavors and freshness that made for delightful dining experience. Please stay wonderful for our next visit!

It was my girlfriend and I’s anniversary and our hostess / waitress was amazing! She made us feel very welcome, and made sure our needs were met without smothering us. It was our second time there and both times the food and service were amazing!

The new beef empanadas appetizer is absolutely phenomenal. They have the best guacamole in town.

It had been awhile since I had been to Margarita Factory and I was pleasantly surprised by the revamped menu! Lots of great vegetarian options! I had the veggie tacos which were very good. Two other members of our party of 9 had the veggie fajitas...also great! Everyone enjoyed their meals and the guacamole was excellent! But, what made this night even better, was the excellent service. Our waiter was very attentive and the manager (I'm guessing) came to our table a few times to make sure we were well taken care of. It was our son's birthday and he definitely didn't want anyone to sing to him, so they brought over a free tequila shot instead. Overall, a very enjoyable night!

    This new small. 30-seater with a strong menu is a pleasure to dine at. The calamari appetizer was stellar and our entrees were flavorful and well presented. Oswaldo Bibiano's Autentica was a remarkable part of the Portland dining scene a decade ago. His new Bar Siete will achieve the same success.
