   Group of 4 for lunch. Ordered a latte. Came without a spoon or being asked about sugar. Asked for sugar and NEVER brought it. Could not get the server ‘s attention. Had to get up snd fight a person bussing a table and she went to get sugar. So much time had passed the the original drink was cold. Another was brought to the table snd it tasted burnt. We all wondered if someone had microwaved the cold drink. One person ordered a Dutch baby. It was over cooked and flat snd stuck to the dish. In addition, two of our guest were overcharged $10 each for the chicken that they added to their salads. We will NEVER go back. It is sad to see a Portland landmark go downhill. A sad day for Portland.

   My wife and I made reservations to eat at The Tavern prior to attending a concert next door at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. The location, of course, could not have been more convenient, as was the availability, literally across the street from the restaurant, of off-street parking. While The Tavern is neither particularly quiet nor, for us, inexpensive, the entire experience was quite enjoyable. The food was wonderfully and attractively prepared, the drinks were great, and the service was terrific. We will definitely return, particularly if we are in downtown Portland to attend an event,

   Both my wife and I had the King Salmon which was excellent but the portion was small. Not looking for American-size portions here but something larger than an appetizer with enough vegetables that you can find them on the plate. Atmosphere and service were both excellent.

   Stale cakes and pastries, lackluster service, limited tea options with several tea jars almost empty. Overall poor experience for our wedding anniversary high tea. Definitely would NOT recommend!

   Our dinners were good. The server was attentive. The ambiance was nice. The seating is a little awkward for 6, but other than that it was lovely.

   Great place for drinks and dinner before a concert at the next door concert halls. Fish was cooked to perfection, beautifully presented and the staff were delightful.

   The food was bland and uninspired. Service was good, the space is comfortable. Drinks are fine. Only so sad the Heathman no longer has a great restaurant!

    We advised we were going to a show and got there early (5:20 for 5:45). We ordered right away and the Crab Bisque was cold. It was nearly an hour before we got our food and the steaks were not cooked properly and somehow lukewarm at the table. We had to eat fast to get in the theater, some missed the beginning of the show. Then for some reason we went back for a drink after the show and were treated rudely. The restaurant is next door to the theater, this isn’t the first time they’ve had a busy crowd on a Sunday. I don’t know what happened, this was historically a classic Portland eatery.
