Went here for brunch last weekend. The views were great, but the service and food wasn't on par with what you would expect at the Ritz. We waited nearly 20 minutes to get our coffee after we had ordered and that was only because I flagged down the server. The rosti potatoes (hash brown) was basically a frozen hash brown as were the breakfast potatoes. You get real fresh made potatoes from many other more reasonably priced breakfast places in town. To top everything off, the charge wasn't even coded as food and beverage so I didn't get my credit from my bonvoy credit card. Lame. This place might be good for drinks, but if you're looking for breakfast/brunch, I say save your money and go somewhere else for half the price and twice the quality and taste. read more

There are very little options when it comes to food, the service was pretty good tho. The menu had like 15 options and a third of them was over $150. read more

The food ingredient quality was great and our server was friendly and polite. However, the food itself was so extremely salty that it was literally like eating salt. My family was hosting a special dinner for out of town guests so this was very embarrassing for us. The chef/team who prepared the food either doesn't have any gauge as to how their food tastes, or it was intentional. Other notes are the Salmon dish was extremely salty but the Beef dish was bland and no flavor. The Americanos and Lattes were pretty bad as well. Temperature was lukewarm and basically tasted like colored lukewarm water... for the sake of the restaurant's future, I hope the team will strive to do (much) better. Also, the server announced how many of each dessert were available (which was very limited in number)... I felt that was very strange, especially given it's a high-end restaurant. Other than my group, there were literally only 2-4 other diners in the entire restaurant during that time, so it wasn't a busy time either. For these reasons we most likely won't be returning... very unfortunate, since we wanted to support the Ritz in Portland. read more

Great dining experience at the top of the Ritz in Portland. Perfect for drinks with friends, business dinner or a special date night. The menu is simple but there are no bad choices. The steak was one of the best I've had with near perfect delivery. The experience is 5 star with pricing to match. read more

Although the food was amazing and the ambience was great the service was one of the worse I have experienced. Our server was nonexistent for most of the time we were there. It wasn't because the restaurant was busy either. Our reservation was for 6:30 and we received our food after 8:15. During that time we ask for a refill on our ice tea and we had to remind someone other than our server to get it after she was reminded 2x. She spent most of her time talking with a table of 2 people and looking at pictures. On top of this it was a milestone birthday for me and I decided I wanted to celebrate here with my family because of fond memories a year ago here. What a mistake. My husband requested a cake when he made the reservation a month in advance and reminded the restaurant when we confirmed the reservation a few days ahead. They told him it would be there. The night of the dinner he had to ask for it several times and they had to scurry to get a substitute. The last issue was the bill. When we received it, from the absent server, I believe Bella was her name, it was over charged by close to $300.00 . We had that addressed and they graciously didn't charge for the cake. Naturally they added a 20% gratuity on the bill because there was 6 of us. This normally would have been okay because I usually tip 25-30% due to the fact I appreciate good service. Not this time. I resent having to give a server a 20% gratuity when she was nonexistent throughout our meal. I was told by my family to tell them to take off the gratuity but I didn't She was so bad when other staff members brought the cake there was not a knife to cut it. We ask her for a knife and she said no problem she would get one and proceeded to go to the table with 2 people and continue to talk with them. We had to ask again only to see that the knives were kept right behind her and it would have literally taken her 30 seconds to get one. Obviously you can tell I am upset over the experience. Mostly because this was a huge birthday year for me. If you check my other reviews I usually only remark when they are good to great experiences. This was not. read more

We went for an early Valentines celebration on the 13th, so it was pretty busy, but nonetheless our waitress was very kind, attentive and apologetic if the wait was longer than she anticipated. The restaurant itself is beautiful. We sat in the tables that were booth seating on one side and chairs on the other. While it may have seemed like it wasn't enough space between groups, it actually like we were all in our own bubble and not like we were intruding on anyone's space. Which was great! It really preserved that date atmosphere. I wish we could've gotten a look at the bar area, I heard that side was particularly beautiful. We were recommended before we left, to check out the balcony. For the food, everything was plated beautifully. I especially loved the beef tartare presentation and how the desserts represented each special part of the Pacific Northwest! For my favorite dish, it was of course the beef tartare. It had different flavor emulsions wherever you decided to scoop your next bite- the textures and flavors were delicious!! Would definitely come back for that. The reason I put 4 stars instead of 5, is because the other menu items fell a bit flat. We started off with a high, which was with the beef tartare. Next we got the crab Berliners. The flavor was quite okay, my boyfriend enjoyed it. I would say it should be eaten like a one biter- my boyfriend enjoyed it eaten that way while I had cut mine up not realizing the top and bottom buns weren't both coated in a sweet brushing of the sauce. I did get a shell in a bite as well. Next we got a gooey duck dish. It had small pieces of gooey duck on a crispy thin tart with I believe an avocado creme. Texturally, should have had more crunch factor. The avocado creme was too much in comparison to the thin pastry vessel. So if you don't like overly soft foods, this one wont be for you. Similarly, we ordered the duck dish fully expecting a few slices of duck but what we got was an eclair with a pulled pork style duck. This had to be the worst texturally for me. It was all soft mush. My boyfriend LOVES duck but that one for the both of us was a no no. The eclair was soggy from soaking up the duck fat on top of it. Was also very salty. The scallops were okay, super fatty so I didn't really enjoy it. Again, the scallops are super soft tender and buttery and adding the soft whipped cream of cherry and I believe bacon fat infused(?) it was way too heavy for a dish brought out towards the end of our meal. Beef tataki was okay, steak cooked wonderfully and the potato with salmon roe was great- reminded me a bit of an elevated bean layer dip haha. Lastly desserts were good. The pear dish is good if you enjoy very sweet treats, the white chocolate was rather sweet but the pear sorbet was nice and refreshing. The crab dessert was my favorite! It was so fun to eat and the flavors mended well together. Overall I did enjoy the experience, I would mainly go again due to how attentive the staff was in making sure we were happy and our glasses were never empty. I'd probably only go back for the food if the menu rotates. read more

I love fine dining and I don't mind paying for it, if it's delicious. I am your average Portland customer who knows good food/drinks. With that said, the only reason we'd return is for the view and maybe the salmon. The staff were excellent and the restaurant is quiet, but the food left a question mark. The cocktails were expensive ($32) for average or below average for options and taste, especially compared to Le Chon, Andina or Kann. We tried the menu pretty extensively (7 shareables, entree and desserts) The titles were definitely...unusual. Why would I come for a luxurious dining experience and want to order a "shrimp hotdog" or a play on eggs and bacon--- for dessert? I understand the desire to be innovative, but it just didn't grab us-- I was looking at the menu and not excited to order any of them. (I mean mushroom ice cream? And I love mushrooms ) It was confusing and I felt lacked a cohesive style-- is it supposed to be "Northwest" fair? It featured a lot of seafood, but in a casual way -- the lobster sliders for example (best thing we tried from the small plates). The salmon entree was delicious, and ample. Served 3 easily. I really want this restaurant to survive, but they need an authentic core that people can rave about. If it's going to be seafood, then rethink the menu so it's not such a juxtaposition. That's my two cents. read more

In. cred. Ible. This place is incredible!!! We went to Bellpine for our 5 year anniversary and we had an amazing time. You exit the elevators and walk into a modern, moody, and elegant restaurant. The restaurant is surrounded by windows with great views of the city. Our server, Craig, was fantastic. He had a great sense of humor, was very knowledgeable on the menu, and anticipated our every need. We ordered a couple of shared plates to start, and I have to say the Salmon Crudo is the best I have ever had. We then had the bone in NY strip for two, which was mouth wateringly fantastic! I would recommend this to anyone who has a special occasion or a night out they want to splurge on! read more

I liked our meal, but for a restaurant inside a hotel that is hoping for 5 stars I expected more. The staff was nice, but service seemed a little disjointed. As soon as we were seated a nice gentleman introduced himself, and said he would be our server, but that was the last we heard from him. We saw him around, but he never visited our table after that. Instead we had a female server who took our order. Two of us ordered the salmon that came with scalloped potatoes. Our friend said her potatoes were cold, and ours were lukewarm, and neither of us liked the salmon itself. It was bland and uninspiring.  We did think the view was spectacular, and the ambience was gorgeous. However, the table we were seated at was a little awkward, as it was enormous, which made it impossible to make conversation with half our party. Hence why the review is only mentioning what two of us had, as I was too far away from everyone else to hear their thoughts.  If you are considering dining here, I would give them a few months to iron out the kinks. I am sure they will be great, they just need more time. read more

What a beautiful space! 21st floor of tge Ritz Carlton with floor to wall windows and a balcony. We went for breakfast on a cloudy Sunday and it's still breathtaking! Had a perfect eggs Benedict and my loved the salmon Caesar, and a bottle of Argyle bubbles. Service was excellent - attentive but not obtrusive. The rest of the hotel/ residence is extremely well done. read more

I was relieved to see this place has an average of 3.3 stars. I didn't want to be the one to drag them but the Ritz Carlton really needs to bring it and they didn't. 3 stars to me is "fine". It was fine. The word I found myself reaching for during my late lunch visit was "corporate". It seemed like they took market research sessions on inoffensive color schemes, table settings, menu items and played it really safe. And that's fine. Ya know, the decor is fine, the food was ok, my drink was perfectly adequate. But it didn't shine, it didn't wow me, it wasn't remarkable. We found ourselves thinking at the end, 'I don't think I'll be back,' and it wasn't terrible or anything but you'd expect more (well at least I would) from a luxury brand like the Ritz. One area I specifically wished for more was their whiskey list. There wasn't anything rare, unusual or really even interesting. Maybe it's different with wine here but I'm not that into wine. As I looked around, I saw diners with wine, maybe this is more their lane, and not so much on cocktails. But for the Ritz, wouldn't you expect to get a cool cocktail? These were pretty predictable. It's the Ritz and all. But we're really spoiled in Portland. We have distilleries, wineries, really high caliber cocktail bars, really elegant and avant garde food and honestly Bellpine was just kinda meh. I had a pretty salad (it was artfully arranged) that didn't really blow my mind. My cocktail was fine but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. For $20 I think you can get better experiences, better drinks, better salads than this place. It lacked soul for me. No one did anything wrong but I think other places are more hungry, more charismatic, more striving than just this cash-grab of a place. If you're gonna present like a luxury brand, you gotta bring the experience. If you've been to Portland City Grill and liked it, you'll probably like this place. Similar vibe, the view is a big draw. There's valet parking in the garage and the hotel staff were all very friendly. For cocktails, I'd rather go to Fools and Horses or Mediterranean Exploration Company, for wine, I absolutely loved Heavenly Creatures and for food downtown-ish, I'm literally never disappointed by St. Jack. Bellpine has too much competition to make their entree into Portland with this level of mediocrity. read more

Bellpine - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I was skeptical of this place because of some of the reviews I had read. I had been waiting for a while for this place to open up since my wife and I love to live it up every now and then at a swanky looking place as a brief escape from taking care of our new child. I figured the Ritz-Carlton wouldn't disappoint. We had a really great time. Bellpine did not disappoint. We sampled 6 of the entrees, 2 cocktails, a glass of wine, and a dessert. The tab came to $209 before tip, which was definitely a splurge for us, but we were satisfied with the experience. We were told that for a "full meal" we should expect to order 2-3 entrees per person (most of the menu is tapas-sized dishes), and the prices ranged from $18-$30+. The service was phenomenal. Our waiters were very attentive, never letting our water glasses get empty. They checked in with a smile at just the right frequency to let us chit chat on our date but also make sure we were taken care of in terms of having a delicious beverage to sip on. They were also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, like being able to tell me where the beef and vegetables we were eating were sourced from, and able to detail all of the different notes and flavors in some of the more intricate dishes. It was also clear that the staff had all actually sampled the food before, which in my opinion is crucial for amateur foodies like us who ask frequently for recommendations. Our marble dining table was frequently cleaned between service as well. Our entrees came out in 3 waves, and the first wave came quite promptly, as did our cocktails and wine. The ambiance was fantastic, with very comfy chairs, nice marble tables, nice romantic lighting, and gorgeous views of the city. The Salmon Crudo ($24, ~six slices) was phenomenal. Buttery, fresh King Salmon sliced thin, laying in a shallow bed of citrusy ponzu sauce with little pops of cured lemon gel. The Crab Berliners ($26, two crab rolls) were very tasty, essentially two little crab rolls in brioche buns with some sugar sprinkled on the bread to be more donut-esque. Mildly sweet, very savory fresh crab, very nice. In my opinion, this one is most likely to be the crowd pleasing, obvious choice. The Shrimp & Grits Corndog ($19, two corndogs) was decent. It's pretty much an overpriced corndog but with a shrimp sausage in the center instead of a hot dog, with some drizzles of bougie sauces on top. It's tasty but by no means special in my opinion. The Bay Shrimp & Potatoes ($19, six pieces) was nice, like elevated potato bites filled with shrimp topped with essentially a homemade ketchup. The Butternut Squash ($18, ~8 pita triangles and a medium plate of squash) was honestly the climax of the entire dinner. This thing was bonkers good even without a protein. The hazelnut butternut puree was sweet, buttery and nutty, with a little coffee aroma, and crunchy bits scattered throughout. Spread on a pita triangle, this thing was sweet an savory heaven. I would come back just for this dish. The only food item we got that we truly do not recommend is the wagyu beef waffles ($30, two waffles). It was puzzling - the waffle was not particularly great, not crunchy on the exterior nor fluffy in the interior, the beef itself, though crowned "wagyu" (from Washington state, nothing like real A5 Japanese wagyu" tasted like very plain roast beef slices, the whole dish was bland, and the waffles had hole-shaped cutouts in the center for some strange reason that turned them into waffle bagels. The dessert we got was the Forest ($14). Easily the most unique dessert I've ever eaten, designed to look like the forest floor, with pistachio mousse "moss", a mushroom-shaped shell containing chocolate and a porcini ice cream, all super unique flavors that I now know I am very into. This one definitely felt like the most "experience-y" of all of the dishes we got. The cocktails were also phenomenal and beautifully presented. The Buzz Buzz ($20) we got had a fragrant honey flavor to it that went beautifully with the Maker's Mark, and was presented in a beehive-shaped glass dome. It's served with a Szechuan flower inside that numbs the tongue slightly, akin to the Szechuan peppercorn. Very nice detail! The Butter Kiss ($18) was even better in my opinion, on the sweeter side but with a buttery, caramely richness to it. I'd call it "adult Butterbeer." My wife ordered a nice glass of Eola-Hills Pinot Noir ($16), which was of course poured at the table after she was kindly offered a tasting sample. I'm not sure where all the negative reviews come from to be honest; I understand that people may have worse-than-expected experience with service or with wait times for their food, especially at this price point, but for two pretty average people who like to go out and splurge every now and then on a nice date, we had a lot of fun and would come back! read more

This place (and specifically our server Bella) sucks! The first time I went here, i gave it an overall 9/10. We went in July for our anniversary (2 people). food was amazing, space was quiet and table had amazing view, space was quiet, and the service was beyond amazing. I wish I remembered our waiters name because she was that incredible. Today, I had been here for a work dinner and was incredibly disappointed. To start, in an empty restaurant on a Tuesday night, they sat our party directly next to the kitchen. This area was much louder than any other part of the restaurant, and in fact it was so loud I couldn't hear people across the table. The food was meh. Oysters, Salmond crudo and Albacore and Wagyu Beef Tartare were good, but everything else we tried was ok at best. Steak and bellpine sliders were overcooked, and crab Berliner was anything but fresh. Caesar salad tasted off (the dressing) and was left almost untouched. And then the service was downright awful. You would think that with an otherwise almost empty restaurant, that the server would pay better attention to the one table she had. We sat down and waited at least 1/2 an hour before being brought water, and then only half our table was brought side plates. And after All of our food came out, there was still no sight of the plates. And once I asked her for the rest of the side plates, she acted like I'd inconvenienced her with my question and disappeared. AND we still never got any plates. Then she didn't show up once while we ate our food. Our plates and waters sat empty and still no sign of our waiter! Once we were able to flag her down and get our table cleared we had ordered dessert. (Dessert was fine, smores is a cool presentation and probably the highlight in this category). When our dessert was brought out, i immediately asked her for a check, and another women in our party asked for a replacement napkin. 30 minutes later, no sign of our waiter, check, or napkin. By this point our party was done and ready to go!! I think in my frustration I'm not even explaining how horrible the service was in its full extent. I've had better service in a taco bell than I did today at bellpine. Compared to our experience back in July, it seems like this restaurants quality control in both food and hospitality has gone down. If you ever visit and have Bella as your server, Id recommend turning around and leaving. I expected more for a $$$$ kind of bill read more

Went for High Tea, I will say for the money it was very disappointing . Given the price (more expensive than the Empress) I would have expected that there was more detail to service. It did not have traditional tea sandwich's which is nice, but I think that should prompt them to ask about people allergies and preferences, and offered to add or subtract sandwich's based on that. There was a fish and roe sandwich which had a very very strong fishy taste, to the point after taking one bite I questioned if it was safe to eat. The desserts and scones were amazing. And the live music was a very nice touch. read more

I'm not here to review the food as this place is much about the view . It's located in the Ritz Carlton so you are expected to pay top dollar for anything here . The drinks we had were absolutely delicious and the service top tier. read more

Fantastic, top notch experience of food, hospitality and spectacular view. We went for a special birthday dinner and were very warmly greeted by two hosts and shown to our lovely table. For dinner we shared the salmon and the four sides that came with it and also got two deserts. The salmon was delicious--rich and juicy with a wonderful texture. We also loved the sides of mashed potatoes with mozzarella, roasted vegetables and a tomato salad. The servings were so generous that we had enough for lunch the next day. The chocolate-mushroom desert was presented as a miniature enchanted mushroom forest which was all sweet and edible, just beautiful. Special shout-out to our server Angie, who was gracious, relaxed and responsive. After dinner we walked around the dining room a bit to look around and Angie showed us to a small outside deck from which to enjoy an even more spectacular view than we had at our table. We have both eaten at many fine restaurants in the US and in Europe and we felt this was one of the best meals with the finest hospitality that we have ever experienced. Cannot wait to go again! read more

I gave this restaurant time to find its groove before going. I am happy to report that it is now everything it should be - a wonderful experience from start to finish. I had the tasting menu and wine pairing. Each of the seven courses was very tasty, and it featured higher-end proteins. The wine pairings were spot-on for each course, and the wines selected were of good quality. What puts Bellpine above most other dining in Portland is the ambiance (elegant, with a stellar view) and service. We were greeted, seated, and given a choice of water and menus promptly. The courses and wine came out at a good pace - not slow, not fast, perfect for enjoying our view and conversations. Also, the noise level was very low, which is hard to find in Portland, where some of the best meals are in painfully loud dining rooms, ruining the experience. This is what I'd expect from an executive chef who has helmed Michelin-starred restaurants, but I never take that for granted. Bellpine is ready for prime time. I suggest enjoying a special dinner there for an anniversary, birthday, or any occasion. read more

My family celebrated Easter with Brunch at The Bellpine in the Ritz-Carlton, Portland. I have visited Bellpine on several occasions since the hotel opened, and the experience has been underwhelming at best. In my hope for an exceptional experience, such as visiting other RC properties, the Portland location lacks care and professionalism. The timing of the service has been off since opening day, along with the menu options and portions. These haven't been remedied since they opened in 2023. It's the RC, and there should be expectations across the company, exceptional in California, then unbearable in Portland?? This doesn't create high-level experiences or future recommendations..."I had the best experience with the service and food in Laguna; however, the service was not there in Santa Barbara." RC is a Brand, and it lacks consistency and identity. Happy to help change that- DM me. read more

Dinner at the Bellpine on the 20th floor of the Ritz Carlton. It was delicious! Cocktails were on point, my friend had the Butter kiss and I had the zero proof espresso cocktail, both of them were very good and well balanced. We ordered from the small plates and were very happy with our choices. We ordered the Tuna and Wagu tartare, it was amazing! Wagu Tataki, Duck and apple dish, sweet potatoes and corn ribs. Everything was very good and flavorful except the duck, that dish was good but did not have a lot of seasoning. We also had the Desert dessert and Mango sorbet, both were also stellar. We will definitely be back. read more

My girlfriend and I wanted to be wowed by the new Ritz Carlton in Portland so we made reservations to eat brunch at the Bellpine on a clear and sunny Portland morning. We walked everywhere that they would let us - checking out the lobby, first floor restaurant where you can grab a cup of coffee and pastry, the pool, fitness center, spa and the first floor lobby. It is GORGEOUS and STUNNING everywhere you look. Brunch at the Bellpine was good, not amazing but also not awful. I will say the wait staff is exceptional and every person we interacted with was service oriented and friendly, from valet service to the bartender! My omelet was cooked well, but the sausage side was unappetizing. It came with 4 sausages which was a large portion but the texture was brittle and dry, almost tasted like a bad plant based sausage. My girlfriend had the eggs Benedict and the portion was small, Benedict's usually have two muffins and not just one - two poached eggs on one muffin which she said was too dense! Perhaps they are working out the kinks for being open for only 2 weeks. Drinks were great and they kept my tea nice and hot and my friend's champagne glass full. I'd definitely like to try happy hour or dinner here. The decor, seating, bar and views are unmatched! read more

We had expectations of a fine dining experience in a high rise luxury hotel. The only evidence of fine dining was the view. The menu was non-sensical, and not explained well by the wait staff. There was a list to the left that said "For The Table" ?? which in fact were small plates that you could easily eat for one, but could be shared. On the right side of the menu, there were only 3 or 4 extremely expensive main dishes and a list of sides below that also had a price tag on them of $14. When we asked, we learned that the mains were for two, making the exorbitant price of each item less shocking. We ordered the the aged ribeye steak and it was a whopping $240. The next less expensive item was salmon at a slightly less whopping $120. I specifically stated we didn't want to buy a bottle of water but we were served and charged anyway. THERE WAS NO BREAD, NO AMUSE BOUCHE, AND THE APPETIZERS TOOK 25 MINUTES. We were starving and when we asked "don't you serve bread?" the answer was simply no. We could buy grocery store brand sliced bread, which we declined. There was only ONE Cabernet on the wine list by the glass. We tried it and didn't like it. When we asked the server about the wine, she didn't know anything about it, so she asked if we wanted to taste it. Then, when she brought it over, she told us it was a blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah. Ugh, we switched to Chardonnay. When the small plate of lobster curry showed up, we gobbled it quickly but it was tasteless, not hot, and required salt to have flavor. For lobster to be bland, they had to really mess up. There was no butter sauce flavor at all. An additional 40 minutes later, the dry aged ribeye steak showed up and that was tasty, but NOT HOT! We had mentioned that the appetizer wasn't warm enough and our server acknowledged this with a nod. No comp, no apology, just acknowledgement. Then, one would think she might report to the kitchen that we were disappointed in the temperature of the first course to be ammended on the main, but no. We were so hungry at that point, we could not send it back. The sides were pretty good. This place is not ready for prime time, and it does not live up to the fine dining expectations we had, for the price. The server seemed untrained, ill-informed, and to lack confidence. There was a draft at the window, but I will give the place high marks for the view. read more

Wonderful experience. We were pampered by staff, food was delicious, and we can't wait to return again.

Food was so weird. Come on... who wants Dungeness crab foam for dessert or even porcini ice cream for dessert? No one!!!! It was definitely the strangest dining experience I have had- we didn't try the portions for 2, but all of their "tapas." I was so confused and nothing was balanced - crab sandwich in a sweet doughnut??? Unsalted asparagus with beet foam?? Tartare with "micro" bread crumbs- ummmm... so micro that we had to order bread! Scallops with whipped cream seasoned with bacon???? Lobster that had so much curry flavor there was nothing to taste. Geoduck with so much lime that you couldn't taste anything. What!? Why?? Come on... you have a beautiful dining room just go classic French... why try to do fusion???? I think that's what you're doing??. Service was awesome- that was the only redeeming experience! I felt like they were embarrassed by the food. read more

We rarely get a night out - we had a last minute sitter with our 3 littles so we chose to check out the new restaurant at the Ritz, as we walked in we got so excited as it's beautiful and they did an amazing build out we just knew our past experiences at The Ritz just guaranteed impeccable service or so we thought.... Or not...Too sooooon to go unfortunately .. First of all, there were 3 bartenders but no eye contact when we landed in our bar seats and then it took 30 minutes to be acknowledged to even order the first cocktail. We realized ok well we better order food now, wellllll he forgot to put our order in, cause 45 minutes later still no food and one of the bartenders noticed we had been sitting and waiting a godawful amount of time. She came over and said the kitchen is way backed up and she had no idea when the food will arrive. We had ordered one crab Berliner. Just one meal to share.. We really needed to eat something and couldn't wait anymore as it was almost 9:00 and we arrived at 7:30. They "offered" to "refund" the food item. The food item we never received. Ok? How nice of you? ugh. We walked away hungry and so disappointed. Not the five star service we always receive from the Ritz. read more

Service at Bellpine is exceptional. Our server was Angie and she is wonderful. Great personality and also so professional. We were seated by the window which had a lovely view. Our drinks were very lovely. Theodore at the bar made my husbands drink to his liking and was so sweet to even write down what he used and how to make it. The food was great. We ordered the Salmon crudo, scallops, rosti potatoes and the asparagus and mushrooms to start with. The only thing we did not enjoy was the asparagus and mushrooms, they were very heavy on the salt and too salty to eat. Everything else was very good. As our main, we chose the Wagyu. It was cooked perfectly to our liking and the side dishes that came with it was very delicious and paired well. The desserts were really delicious as well. Our overall experience was very wonderful. Everyone was very nice, happy and very attentive. The service provided really lived up to the Ritz name. read more

We recently stayed at the lovely Ritz Carlton in Portland. Unfortunately, the Bellpine restaurant was a big disappointment. We had breakfast/brunch on Sunday. Service and food was less than satisfactory. Our omelets, Eggs Benedict were lukewarm warm. The food was bland without seasoning and presentation was seriously lacking. Service was poor as well. We'll stay at the Ritz again but doubt we'll dine at Bellpine. read more

Just wow! We went for my husband's birthday and the service was incredible. My husband recived a hand written birthday card from the staff. It's so rare to receive a hand written card these days, so it started us off on the right tone. The food is tapas style but a bit more expensive than usual for PDX, however, I think the ingredients are high quality...lobster, rabbit, wagyu, etc, so I think it should be expected. I love being able to sample a variety of different dishes, so this was totally my style. The albacore and wagyu tartare in bone marrow was one of my faves, whereas my husband really appreciated the complex but subtle flavors of the rabbit and wild mushrooms. The spinach mousse side dish was incredible. A definite must order. Very rich and reminded me of the Joel Robuchon mashed potatoes. The menu was lacking some fresh veggies/salads, although my daughter's kid meal included a very nice salad. Yes--they have a kids menu with the usual hamburger, chicken tenders, grilled chickens, spaghetti bolongnese,... We got two desserts, and the Forest was by far the winner. It was beautiful with multiple different textures and flavors. The Gorge was okay. So the setting: gorgeous 20th floor views in a modern aesthetically pleasing setting. read more

Bellpine - The epic dessert: Forest - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We went for quick dessert and drinks on a date night. We got "The Forest" for the dessert, probably one of the most creative desserts we have tried in a while. We didn't have a reservation, but the service was friendly in the open seating bar area. The view was amazing from their balcony. Not sure why all the bad reviews. We found service to be good (not pretentious), food was great and the prices were very reasonable for the place it is. One quick thing, all the doors but one by the parking entrance were locked. We walked around and tried a few doors before finding the entrance. I wish they had some signs to guide the people or someone should be working the doors. Oh well, the joy of downtown Portland location. read more

I ordered a salad for lunch. They have very limited options on the menu. Despite with only a few tables occupied, it surprisingly took them 30+ minutes to prepare the salad. Disappointingly, the salad turned out to be very basic, something that could easily be put together at home. You pay for the view but definitely not the food. read more
