Had the fried green tomato Benedict with their Creole Bloody Mary. Absolutely phenomenal. The preparation on the fried green tomatoes really came through in the Benedict.

Solid food, but forgettable.

I hadn't been here in a few years, but I had always enjoyed this place in the past. Decided to eat here before a Timbers game on 11/1/26 and was SORELY disappointed. It took 20 minutes to get seated despite having a reservation, which would have been all fine and good, if the meal had even been decent. Well, the meal wasn't decent. In previous visits, it was almost annoying how often they brought out meat to the table. Not on this visit. I think they only had two dudes with swords of meat, and I often couldn't see a single person carrying meat around to tables. In fact, in the 90 minutes we sat there, we were offered lamb, one cut of steak, chicken, and grilled pineapple. That was it. In an entire 90 minutes. Total bill for five people (including drinks)- $275. All for about two ounces of steak per person. It was ridiculous. I don't know what happened, but the fall-off of this place from what it used to be is jaw-dropping. I'm simply floored by how bad it has gotten. I'd urge to to spend your hard-earned money elsewhere.
It’s worth a visit once.

Worst service I’ve ever had. Spent $400 and server never checked on us… we had to bus our own tables. When we asked for forks he said they are all dirty… made us feel very unwelcome as well. I really up they start properly training their servers on customer service. Honestly I’m just disappointed all we wanted to do was have a nice day night and the only thing we can think about is how bad the service was.
Open in Google MapsAn attempt at upscaling Chinese food. However, authentic Chinese cooking needs no watering down of spices and flavor. Mom and Pop restaurants are so much more delicious. This is a shell of Chinese cuisine. Maybe can introduce people to authentic Chinese food, but not for people who love and crave legit Chinese food. Way too expensive.

Such a classy and elegant place, perfect for celebrating special occasions! We celebrated a friend’s birthday here and the staff were so nice in making the birthday person feel special. Initially, it took some time to seat us despite having a reservation, but after that, the overall experience was smooth. They don’t have many vegetarian options listed on the menu, but when I asked our server, they mentioned their tofu vegetable stir-fry (which wasn’t listed on the menu, so definitely ask about their vegetarian options!). It turned out to be a pleasant surprise and tasted sooo good! My friend tried their sea bass lobster risotto, which they really enjoyed too. Their cocktails were amazing as well! They also brought out a complimentary birthday dessert with a candle at the end, which was such a sweet gesture. The views from the restaurant are amazing, and the overall ambiance is very classy and elegant. Definitely worth visiting for special occasions!
Open in Google MapsOf course this is an amazing place. If you live in Portland, then you know about Portland city Grill. Apart from the amazing food and great beverages, the view is why you come here. High up on the 38th floor of big pink, you get such great sweeping views of Portland and beyond. You can make reservations for formal dining or you can do what I’ve done the most, put on some evening clothes, head up to the 38th floor, and find your way to the bar where it’s first come first serve, grab yourself a window seed and share it with some good company while sharing some wonderful fare on the bar menu.

Really enjoyed the Fresh Hop Lizard Snuggs west coast IPA. I didn't order food.
Open in Google MapsI recently visited with my service dog. The waitress approached my table in a hurried way, causing my dog to bark. I was in the process of getting my dog to settle when I was asked to leave. My service dog was responding to the atmosphere at the restaurant. She was working. The service at this restaurant is below satisfactory. I have had numerous experiences of poor service. This last encounter was completely unacceptable.
