Didn’t get the table we reserved, matter of fact really did take our reservations at all. Table had not been sanitized, which is really sad for how slow it was. The food was good but not worth trouble to go out of our way for it.

restaurant was understaffed, this is okay and understandable. however, it did take a VERY long time to get our food despite not many people being in the restaurant. after almost 45 minutes we got our entrees (originally wanted steak, they were out of steak) and never received our appetizers, when we asked they said that they were out of the mushrooms (we were never told this), we also ordered a charcuterie board that never came, this was compensated but looked was very cheap looking as if you went to the store and cut cheese and threw it on a plate (also the “cracker” was toasted white bread lol). the restaurant was very apologetic and compensated drinks and the apps, but it was just a very bad and laughable experience overall.

We have dietary/allergy challenges in our family so checked the menu online to find upon arrival their actual menu is NOTHING like what they say it is online. In addition, the service was terrible. Our server was rude and inattentive hanging out on his phone almost the whole time we were there. Very disappointing experience!

Reservations didn’t seem necessary and staff were apprehensive to take any menu modifications to ‘Chef’ in fear of upsetting them. Unsure if ‘restaurant’ would accommodate any food allergies or dietary needs. Overall, food was okay, nothing spectacular. Waitress was pleasant and as accommodating as she could be due to ‘Chef.’

Party could not believe we were going inside a hotel but this place did not disappoint! It had everything we needed to hear conversations ( until a noisy party of 4 came in), agree with others on the cheese plate although could use more crostini , all our meals were well presented but most of all delicious. Wedge salad , shrimp fettuccini, steak, and tomato soup grilled cheese was a hit! Waiter was attentive and when/if I return to Portland will definitely go back.

We didn’t really need a reservation to eat here at 5:30 on a Friday..the place was surprisingly empty. As a result, our service was stellar- staff were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and reasonably priced compared to the rather small cocktails. Definitely order the cheese plate- the selection of different types is generous so be warned it’s like a meal in itself!!

They had a table ready for our reservation it was the only reservation they had on that Tues. night. They seemed a bit put off when we chose another table. We really enjoyed the dining month menu selections. We had the mushroom puff pastry for the first course. Then the Elk risotto which smelled and tasted like the best stew I have ever had. For desert we had a lemon custard thing. It was a wonderful finishing treat. Over all it was a nice experience.

We had the most amazing time at Craft PDX! We went down to celebrate my sister's birthday over the weekend and were delighted by our experience. It ended up being one of the best moments of the trip! Our waitress was incredible, efficient, kind, and so generous. She gave my sister a free birthday drink as well as a dessert. I wish I could remember her name because she deserves a raise! The food and atmosphere were also incredible for a low price point. I would definitely recommend it and will be going back!

There’s not a lot of ambience in this restaurant located in the lobby of the Hi Lo hotel. However, the service was very good. We liked the majority of the things we tried. The brisket hash, in particular, was delicious. The gingerbread pancakes were a bit of a disappointment. There was no discernible gingerbread flavor, although the texture of the pancakes was great. It also seemed like the wait for a food was very long, despite the restaurant not being busy.

We went there for a quick bite on our way home, best sandwich I have had for quite a while chicken breast on a fresh potato bun. Also had the tuna ceviche and a cheese plate which were all exceptional. I would say this is a little hidden gem of a place.

We ordered breakfast items. Greek Yogurt was plentiful in the one dish. The yogurt was fairly plain. Fruit on top was nice, however not washed recently. The home Meade granola was good. Would have preferred the granola not include dried cherries as there is fresh fruit present on the yogurt. Ended up ordering and using jam to mix in with the Greek yogurt to add some sweetness and cut down on the thick texture. Tea was good. Fairly basic, not loose leaf but a tea bag in a tea pot. Tea pot is aesthetically pleasing but when poured it went all over the table. Recommend getting different tea pots and actually using them prior to giving to table service. Wait staff was on point. They kept things coming although we were asked the same questions on multiple occasions. We would likely go back, although the menu was fairly limited to some basics.

There was little point in using OpenTable to make a reservation. When we turned up they had no idea there was a reservation and didn’t have a table set up for us. When it was set up it was cramped and one of the chairs was wet. The music was very loud, it was very hard to hear across the table. Food was reasonable.

We went for breakfast on a Sunday. The restaurant was mostly empty. Service was very good. Food was good though not exceptional. Even though it was 8:30 in the morning they had already run out of hollandaise sauce which we found puzzling since we wanted to order eggs benedict. The server and cook were very helpful and accomodating though and happily substitued other things we suggested for the sauce.

Our server, Jackie, was fabulous! I'd go back just to see her again. She really was sweeter and more accommodating than I'd ever expect. And we were there on New Year's Eve! The food was great, and ambiance was lovely. The only negative would be the pricing was a bit steep.

The nicoise salad I had was missing most of the key ingredients listed in the menu and the runa was cooked well rather than being seared. While the restaurant was nearly empty we were still sat next to the only other table of guests. The fire alarm went off a dozen times during our meal and they didn’t apologize or even come over to reassure us.

Started with specialty cocktails...looked and tasted terrific...Margarita made with fresh blackberries (seasonal). Party of six for dinner, (including Portland “foodies”) everyone happy with their selections. Delicious house made sausage in the shrimp and sausage Po Boy, another in our party added it to their Mac and cheese. The tuna Niçoise salad beautiful and tasty. House made desserts were a hit, try the strawberry-rhubarb cobbler...yum! Clean and modern establishment with a hip vibe.

Unexpectedly found us making dinner reservations at a hotel lobby. Very quiet, we were one of 2 tables. Server told us she’d been there only 2 weeks and was sweet, but a total beginner. Bar drinks were really good. Small menu, smaller wine list. Just not a spot I wanted for our big night out.

I've already recommended CRAFTpdx to others! My Portland Burger Week burger was clever and delicious (Caesar salad was a good counterpoint.) The room was packed, but it was easy to talk with my two tablemates; food arrived promptly; service (from multiple staff members) was attentive and friendly.

We had a very disappointing experience at Alto Bajo. We had dinner reservations for 5:45pm. As we perused the menu, we noticed that happy hour ran until 6pm. My companion and I placed our drink orders immediately and received our drinks within the first 5 minutes of arriving - the drinks were kindly delivered by the bar tender. As soon as the drinks arrived we were ready to place our food order. However, the waitress kept bypassing our table. This is a very small establishment and although I tried to catch her eye several times, she didn't return to our table to take our food order for 15 minutes. As we were ready to order, we asked about happy hour and were told, "oh, sorry, happy hour just ended." It became clear at that point that she intentionally waited until happy hour was over to take our food order. Irritated, we asked for a few minutes to think about if we wanted food and asked that she give us a minute. That minute turned into another 15 minutes as she repeatedly bypassed our table several more times. At this point, all we wanted to do was leave. However, yet again, we couldn't get our waitresses attention. When she finally did return we asked for the check. When the check came, I realized that she had overcharged me $2 - charging me $14 for a $12 glass of cava. Almost an hour in, we had no food, had only gotten one drink each and had been overcharged even for that. This experience was so unnecessary and frustrating.

Very good food. Not the best Mexican I have ever had, but very good and quite reasonably priced. The menu choices are very limited. Not necessarily a problem, but something to keep in mind if that is important to you. The service was friendly, but the food came out way too quickly. We had our main dish well before we were done with our appetizers. The server just kept piling additional plates on our (too) small table. In the unlikely event I ever went back for dinner (see below) I would be very clear with the server about the pacing of the meal. The big problem with the restaurant is the setting. The dining room is not just adjacent to the bar, it is essentially IN the bar. And the bar/dining room has very bad acoustics. Our table was near the far end of the room but the actual bar was still only about 25 feet away, and with basketball games on the TVs over the bar it was very, very noisy. Basically it had all the ambiance of a sports bar that evening. It was difficult to carry on a conversation with my wife. Also, the dining room is on the ground floor next to a busy street with large windows looking out. It made for a nice lighted space on an early spring evening, but the non-stop traffic of homeless people walking past the window was unpleasant. We were aware the hotel is in a part of town that is frequented by the homeless, which is something we are used to as Portlanders, and that was not a factor in our decision to spend the night there. But having that experience as part of a romantic dinner was not ideal. With that said it looks like a fun bar. I might go back to the bar for drinks and small plates for happy hour with friends. But never for a nice dinner out.
