kann Portland Reviews
We were visiting Portland and made reservations months ago.
The design of the restaurant was clean and inviting. Our server, Calvin, was fantastic - he assisted with how much food to order, provided recommendations, and even suggested some other great places to check out while in Portland. We have never had
What a delicious dining experience! All staff interactions
What a delicious dining experience! All staff interactions were pleasant and the food was so flavorful. The restaurant lets in so much beautiful sunlight and is modern and upscale without being pretentious. We ate from the summer menu; this James Bea

Exceptional, elevated Haitian fare, true 5-star dining and waitstaff experience and simply well-executed decor and design at both Kann and its after hours downstairs den speakeasy Sousol Bar. Hail up to my Caribbean countryman Greg Gourdet, tre magni
Simply put, good food, great service, and a bit loud.
The food we had was good. We ordered the Peanut Creamed Greens, Creole Smoked Duck, Kann Coffee Rubbed Flat Iron Steak, and the Baked Haiti. I really enjoyed the greens. The crunch and texture of the greens made it fun to eat. The Creole Smoked Duck
The food was amazing.
The service was excellent. The price was a little steep. $390 for 2 people. The restaurant was loud. Not sure if they can do anything to help the acoustics. I will definitely be back to see what chef Gregory comes up with next.

Kaan is worth the hype - delicious, flavorful food and immaculate vibes. Portland isn't know for ... fashion but this is the first restaurant I've been to that had a dress code "business casual" and the best dressed people I'

After checking in I was able to get seated within a few minutes. I sat at the chef's counter and started with sparkling water with an Old Fashioned with Woodford Reserve. And that's where the service ended. I asked the friendly Nicholas who
After 3 visits, finally ready to write my review.
Yes, I'll save you the trouble and let you know I'm an outlier. While others rave about this trendy, hip, hard-to score- a-reservation Restaurant of the Year, I found all three experiences to be just OK. Not great, and certainly not equal t

This is perhaps the greatest example of Oregonian culinary hyperbole that ever was. The food here is middling at best, but it's packaged in exclusivity and pride for non-European and non- Japanese cuisine that overrides taste and judgment. In ot

My wife and I didn't have reservations for Sunday dinner so we showed up at 3:30 before anyone else to get a walk-in. Let me say that Kann was worth standing for 30 minutes in 90 degree heat (shaded). They had literally two seats but we had to w

Was visiting from out of state and unable to get a reservation. My wife and I arrived almost 40 minutes early to their 4pm opening. We waited in the sweltering heat hoping for a walk in availability.... Well we won the "Golden Ticket" and

We ate here last week and I have to give props to our outstanding server. Service was attentive and thoughtful. We were allowed enough time to enjoy our meal and never felt rushed. Food was delicious! Thank you for hiring servers who actually provide
A love letter to Kann
This place was an EXPERIENCE to say the least. Letโs start with the service our server made our experience very unique to us, understanding my personal dietary restrictions and explaining the restaurant and itโs entirety to us and the culture ho
Alarming
This is the first restaurant to serve lab grown salmon. It's called Wildlife . They call it cultivated salmon . I didn't order it so not sure how it tastes.
Well worth the pain of getting a reservation!
Kann is fantastic, every bite was delicious. Exceeded expectations. The restaurant is beautiful - bright, modern and warm at the same time. We made a reservation at the communal table which really is just a series of tables set closely together. Othe
Exceeded Our High Expectations
It's unusual to go to a restaurant with such high expectations, only to have all those expectations exceeded in every way. That was our experience at Kann. Service by Chris and his team was impeccable. Timing of plates was perfect, we were ne
Would NOT recommend
Horrible service. Rude staff and manager. Would NOT recommend. Additionally, my experience making a reservation was a nightmare. Book reservations with caution. I was charged $300 for a misunderstanding and a lack of clarification on Kannโs end.
two good meals and a sad final experience
This review is for 3 different times I dined there, including in July, and once last week when I had a reservation and my husband was sick that afternoon and I called them 4 hours ahead of time but was charged $100 anyway because the restaurant is co
Much hype, underwhelming delivery
Our experience didnโt start well. Our server was ill prepared to point out which dishes had cilantro it in (which I avoid). He had to consult with others not once, but twice and still was almost dismissive in his explanation. He forgot to bring sli
Disappointing
Very loud inside. For more than $50. the 3 scallop dish with over cooked pasta was a disappointment. The salad with the toasted coconut dressing was bland. The roasted cauliflower jerk dish was the best of the three we ordered. Overall, it didn'
Good, spicy and LOUD
We went through a lot of effort to get this reservation and weed through the arrival rules. Food was good and fun to try but a little too spicy for me. Restaurant is painfully loud. It is very difficult to have conversation. My favorite dish was
This was our first time at Kann, but won't be our last.
Highly recommended and if you're attentive to when they release reservations, not hard to get a table at a preferred time. They release reservations at noon on the first of the month. We did the regular communal tables, but they still provided a gre
First - hats in good has spiciness.
So if you can't handle a little kick then this is not the place for you. The Bel Plaj cocktail was perfect. Not to sweet but an excellent blend of flavors. I had only intended to have one but just had to have a second one. The akra and planta
Came with friends and enjoyed the summer menu.
Everything was bright and full of flavors that felt like summer. The stone fruit and berry salad is amazing (yes a salad). The new steak dish is much smaller than the rib with meat, which also makes the price more approachable. It was perfectly cooke
Kann did not disappoint.
An explosion of flavors from the salad and cocktails to the chocolate cake. So grateful for the amazing service - as good as it gets.

Birthday dinner was incredible! We were 15 minutes early but seated right away and I was given birthday card. Love the open kitchen, bright space, and the greenery inside. I also really like that you have inside door to enter. The staff were so gra
Amazing food.
Outstanding service. Very chill and warm ambiance. The prices very reasonable. The way was a bit long but worth the wait. Drinks very good.
Fantastic! Superb! incredible!, any many more accolades .
Went here with a group of 6. Wife, Daughter, Son in Law, and two grandchildren. I cant say enough about this wonderful place. From the moment you walk in, and they escort you to your table, you feel it's a big deal, and you know you're in for somethi

The food at KANN is excellent.
Every menu item is gluten free and milk free. They also have a separate vegan menu. No matter what you order , it is guaranteed to be delicious. The service is attentive . Unfortunately it is so loud in the restaurant that we really couldn't hear the
Too noisy but great taste.
Food was excellent. We had a table for 6 and unfortunately the noise is so loud that we could not converse across the table, basically only with the person next to us. Could not hear what the servers were saying hardly at all as they mostly talked
Never had a chance, the peons don't count until they need us.
I never got a chance to get a reservation. The web site never loaded to see the reservation site. It never loaded most of the web site. The Resy web site also did not load no matter how many times I tried. I guess this restaurant is so successful th
Simply Outstanding!
Our daughter and son-in-law were able to treat us to this gourmandโs delight this week, when we visited them from the East Coast. What a beautiful surprise. We have eaten at many of Portlands finest culinary establishments throughout our 20 years o

Beautiful restaurant with a serene decor unfortunately it was so loud that it was difficult to have conversations across the table. The plantains with pork was a highlight, different textures and taste. The chicken dumpling soup was a low for us, it

Food sucks to spend that much on mid quality ingredients , service sucked, and ambiance was nosy and awkward. Overly hyped garbage.
It was everything I thought it was going to be and more.
The food was well flavored and the main dishes are definitely sharing sizes. I also got the twice cooked pork which was beautifully delicious. The service is very good they're really attentive, energetic and nice. The ambiance is down to earth and el

The waiting list to get a reservation for Kann can sometimes extend out to months, so since this was our first time in Portland (and we'd likely wouldn't be back for a long time), we were lucky enough to get a table after a cancellation. Overall the

Amazing service and food! The pork appetizer and the greens were stand out! The restaurant was absolutely beautiful.
Amazing Haitian food and excellent service.
Beautifully decorated space with lots of greens
I was truly amazed about this food.
Customer service was excellent. My favorite was the cauliflower! Not what I was expecting. Every item that came out was explained in detail and made you want it more! I was visiting from Texas and have wanted to try this for awhile.IT did not disapp
On the fence - 4 to 5 stars
It took forever to get reservations here, but we finally got one for a Saturday night at 6pm. We waited a bit to speak to the server, who was very professional, well spoken and confident. The server explained the menu nicely and set our expectations
Amazing dining experience
Itโs almost impossible to get a reservation at Kann, but my friend was able to snag one. We were not disappointed! For starters, the specialty cocktails were so funโmine had peppers floating on top for a nice little zip. We tried lots of menu i
Worth the wait!
Amazing fresh and bright flavors, all expertly prepared. Service was impeccable and the staff is super knowledgable and educates you about the dishes as they are delivered. Canโt wait to return!
Tasty food but extremely loud
Our group of six had to wait outside in the rain for at least twenty minutes past our reservation time. Umbrellas were eventually provided. The restaurant has very poor acoustics making it very difficult to hear anyone talking across the table. Hopin
Connect with users posting reservations for kann Portland
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with kann 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
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
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 kann 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 kann 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 $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $5 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at kann 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 MaternalRecord73 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, MaternalRecord73 receives the $5 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73'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 kann 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.
