Chantrel Bar Restaurant - West Linn

Loved this place when it was Allium and it looks like most of the reviews were from from that time as Chantrel opened 7/24. Unfortunately service was lacking- had to get her attention a couple times for things and the server was nicey/fake instead of genuine. They were out of oysters and a simple question turned into a condescending response. Tried their salmon even though it was farmed and it definitely lacked flavor. I won’t be making that mistake again at any restaurant. We’ll cherish the many times my husband and I joined my in-laws for dinner at Allium but won’t be returning to Chantrel.

We used to love coming to Allium over the years! They always had such healthy, farm-to-table options, which is very important to us. We were super disappointed to find out that they were no longer using wild salmon or grass fed beef, and were hoping that the new ownership would bring back those quality-sourced ingredients. Sadly they have not, and as a result we will have to finally part ways with Allium/Chantrel for good :

We just tried Chantrel for the first time and it was fabulous. From the cocktails, to the starter, to the entrees, to dessert. Loved it all. The ambiance is warm and inviting and our waitress was friendly and attentive. I had the salmon with blackberry salsa and my husband had the lamb which was prepared perfectly with farro and mushrooms. If they have a special, get it. The seasonal peach tomato caprese with blue cheese and balsamic was fresh and delicious. They use local, very high quality ingredients for every dish. Can’t wait to see what future menus for fall and winter will bring.

My family has been here 3 times in the past month or so and it never disappoints. Very friendly staff, great food, and relaxed atmosphere. We love the fried rock fish, butter lettuce salad, duck fat and rosemary fries, and the beef filet. We will definitely continue going!

Everything we had for lunch was phenomenal. I got the house burger and duck fat fries. The bacon was perfectly crispy and chewy, the burger was anything but dry. The fries were CRAZY, and the aoli they served with it was the perfect compliment. My fiance had the beef and onion pie, and said it was fantastic. He even enjoyed the salad on his plate, and the man despises greens of any kind. The server (kicking myself for not getting her name) was so kind and funny. We were both surprised to be the only two people in there on a Saturday afternoon. Small menu, but they have a list above the kitchen of all the places they get their ingredients and wines. We will have to go back to try their dinner menu. I'm craving those fries again and its only been a few hours since our meal.
