   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.

   The food was very good; portions are small and the prices are on the higher side, given the location that is to be expected. Our service was good, a drink order was late getting to the table, but otherwise decent.

   Food was just not good. I don’t think we really enjoyed anything. Service was slow. We had our water refilled 1 time during the meal. I have had an upset stomach all night after eating there. I would not return.

   We had reservations got seated early took 30 min to get our first round of drinks and didn’t get our food we had to leave at 7 for our event next door. I would like to say it was because they were busy but went back the next day for breakfast and it took an hour and a half to get our food and they were not busy at all.

    The appearance was very appealing and welcoming. I was looking forward to eating here before the show we were seeing. The service was extremely slow, and our friend's salmon was nearly raw (after waiting nearly 40 minutes for our food). My burger was good, nothing too spectacular. My husband's meal was probably the best - the oxtail manicotti. I don't think we'll be back anytime soon. It was a very underwhelming dining experience.
