This restaurant is located inside the Hi-Lo Hotel. We had our breakfast there two days in a row since we were staying at the hotel. The dining area is spacious and has a lot of natural light. The servers are very attentive. I had the American breakfast which was very satisfying; the bacon looked to be overcooked, but that was just one side. I like my bacon somewhat crispy. Overall, it hit the spot. The next day, I had the Buttermilk Pancakes and they were light and fluffy. Again, the thick cut bacon. An enjoyable meal overall. read more

I wanted to like this place more it's inside a hotel but very easy to access. As we approach the stand they said please wait to be seated which is right past their bar area there was no one there. It was noon, we proceeded to wait for over 15 minutes and I had to goto the lobby and the attendant ended up sitting us. Once our server arrived she was lovely. The food was good and just ok. They server a brunch for lunch sprinkled with a few lunch items. I didn't like the spread they put on the chicken club, it was something like an olive spread. Their fries were amazing read more

Stopped in for breakfast. Clean, chic and minimal dinning area off the lobby of the hi lo hotel. The food was delicious. Kids and parents were all happy with what showed up at the table. Ricotta pancakes were a hit although you might get hit with an up change for extra syrup. Brewed coffee was surprisingly really good! No matcha though (head to drip drop for that)! You might want to look into reservations though, because even though the dining area was almost empty they checked to see if they could accommodate us when we arrived. Overall very happy with the stop and the food! read more

Had an awesome date night here! The food was delicious and drinks were awesome! Mitchell the bar tender was so nice and friendly and took great care of us. I will definitely be back! read more

I visited late in the morning and found myself the only customer, but the experience was excellent. Although the barista was gone for the day, the bartender crafted a well-made cappuccino and provided great service. The food was delicious, and the cozy atmosphere made it a perfect refuge from the rain. Highly recommend for a calm, comforting breakfast. A favorite find on my trip to Portland. read more

Had a great date here! The food was delicious, and the drinks were outstanding. Mitchell, the bartender, really made the experience memorable with his enthusiasm, positive energy, and friendly personality. He has a great talent for creating drinks based on a customer's description of what they like, and every recommendation was spot-on. His attentive service and genuine passion for what he does made us feel well taken care of all evening. Will definitely be back! read more

I had breakfast while staying at the hotel. I had the overnight oats and was pleasantly surprised that it was served cold. It was a nice change and the toppings made it feel even healthier. The three egg omelette is probably one of the better omelettes I've had in a while. Normally I put a lot of Tabasco on my eggs, but the omelette had enough flavor to not need the extra bite. read more

Wonderfully local curated menu with friendly staff. Close enough to downtown to walk around and see the city and water.

I had to come on and leave an honest review because the good reviews lead me to what was one of the worst breakfast meals I've had the displeasure of eating. I came for breakfast on Nov 19 and had the avocado toast with a fried egg and turkey sausage. For one, the turkey sausage was so bad I couldn't even finish it. I literally spit it back up and put it back on the plate. I asked the waitress to take it off my bill because I didn't want to pay for something I didn't eat. The avocado toast came with a side of greens that were already turning brown on the edges and were so wilted without the dressing, the dressing just made it a soggy mess. What saved the avocado toast was the fried egg that I requested to have added on. I'm not sure if their usual chef was off. But whoever made that meal needs a talk. There is no reason to do that to a customer's tastebuds. I was visiting Portland and this was my first meal in the city. But I refuse to allow it to define Portland for me. The waitress was really sweet but damn that food was tragic. At least I took a cute pic. read more

So this was my first time here. Just finished them shamrock run and was in dire need of a beer since the beer garden ran out of everything except for Michelob ultra light. Searched in the area and found this place. It was around noon when we got there on a Sunday. They were serving a brunch menu. My mom got the eggs Benedict and I got the burger. My burger was not cheap it came with fry's or a salad I stuck with the salad. It was great. Fresh and simple and tasty. The burger was really good. Juicy good sauce loved the onions and the bun was great as well. I would come back again if in the area. The only drawback for me is the price. Go check them out read more

Incredible food! I had house made pasta that I will be dreaming about. My husband's steak was delicious as well, thankfully he shared. Tender, super flavorful and cooked correctly to med rare as requested. Definitely try the flatbread appetizer, it was worth a trip on its own. The chef came to our table to check in and when I asked about desserts I was surprised how excited he got. They make them in house! I got an Apple Brown Betty (think upscale cobbler but better). I wish I had gotten an extra to take home. Bar drinks were really cool too. Very interesting menu for drinks. Only sad part was it was pretty empty, nice for us diners though. Tyler our server was quick, and really personable. I can't wait to go back. read more

Should have known that this hotel joint would not be great and it wasn't. Visited based on reviews and pictures of the menu. Food was overpriced and just bland. I ordered the turkey sausage with my eggs and it was dry with zero flavor. read more

We were staying in this hotel, and ended up lazier than we expected to go out and get breakfast. So, we ordered breakfast from here and took it back to the room to eat. I got The Craft Omelette and my bf got the Hi-Lo Breakfast. We both enjoyed our breakfast and it filled us up. read more

A small group of us wandered in here on a whim while looking for a spot to have a late lunch in Portland. It was around 3pm when we arrived, and the menu had already switched over to dinner (lunch was no longer being served). A bit weird, since their website states their lunch hours as Monday to Friday: 11:00am - 4:00pm & Saturday & Sunday: 11:30am - 4:00pm. :-/ Anyway, we all decided to stay and order. I ended up ordering the "WARM GOAT CHEESE SALAD"... which was described on the menu as "Spinach, strawberries, candied pecans, blueberry vinaigrette". Two others ordered the tomato soup with grilled cheese, and the final person of our group ordered the spicy chicken wings. While the food was generally fine (nothing special, but fine), my simple goat cheese salad was $14 for what was basically a bunch of spinach leaves thrown into a large bowl, with maybe 4 or 5 pecans thrown in, an oddly thick vinaigrette, and a breaded ball of goat cheese. The tomato soups with grilled cheese were $16 a piece too, and the spicy chicken wings were $16. (Holy markup, Batman.) It all also came out of the kitchen within just a couple minutes... like, suspiciously quickly. (To the point where it makes me wonder if someone was back there just microwaving things.) The ambience of the restaurant itself is nice, and the service is fine... neither being remarkable or otherwise noteworthy... but fine. A couple of us at the table were a wee bit put off when we'd ask for something to drink or order and the server would say "how about..." to suggest something else because they didn't offer a particular item. It happened multiple times... 2 of the 4 people just gave up on ordering drinks and stayed with water instead. TL;DR It's... fine? Just okay? It was basically a convenient find at the time, but not a place I'd go back to when visiting Portland again. Since it's a restaurant for a hotel anyway, it seems convenience is probably the biggest factor for those eating here. read more

Came here for my friends birthday dinner and was not disappointed! We both had the salmon and it was so good, although a little pricey for the small portion size. We also ordered this blackberry champagne drink and it was so good!! This place is located in a hotel and it is honestly very small, I think we got lucky that it wasn't crazy busy. The lighting and decorations were very cute though! The service was just okay. Our waiter was nice, but definitely seemed tired. I think he was the only person working the entire restaurant and bar (that's how small this place is!) so I don't blame him at all. Overall, this was a cute little spot. I wish they had more on the menu, but I wasn't upset with the options! read more

Egg sandwich was good but kind of plain for $12. You'd have to pay a bit more for more toppings. The worker poured me coffee even though I said no and then charged me for it. Oh well. I wouldn't go back here. I'm sure there are better breakfast places around anyways. read more

Super friendly waitress and beautiful dining room:) I liked the music and view out of the window. The drip is coffee is good and the menu is expansive.

We were a group of 10 and the only other patrons were at the bar. Food was not hot, the fried chicken was more like jerky, and we had to wait a long time for malt vinegar for the fish and chips. The roasted potatoes were good but very expensive... $9 for 6 bites. Of potato. read more

Small restaurant that is part of a hotel in Portland. Beer and drink selection was good featuring local selections. The menu was small, but the food was excellent, fresh and they offered a selection for most dietary preferences. I had a cheeseburger and fries that were very tasty, well prepared. Service was good. This is a good place to have a drink and eat, that is low-key, reasonable and easy. read more

If I could give this staff 5+ stars, I would. We had a very welcoming and enjoyable experience. My friend and I needed a fun and easy-going night. Kyrsti and Becca-June were truly amazing and refreshing. They ensured my friend and I had an excellent evening at Craft PDX in the Hi-Lo hotel. It has been a long time since I've had such a great and genuine experience at a restaurant/bar in a city outside my home. A big thank you to this team (including Manny of the Hi-Lo)!! read more

Craft PDX is a restaurant in the Hi-Lo Hotel in downtown Portland. We ate here to take shelter from the surrounding outdoor food trucks swarming with drug addicts at night. The restaurant was empty when we arrived, and they had wanted to close early for the night. We ended up ordering takeout and eating in the hotel lobby. +Hi-Lo Burger (tillamook cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and house sauce) for $20 - Nothing special. - 3/5 Overall, this place was okay. The food would be fine for a quick bite if staying at the hotel, but if you're visiting Portland, there are many other options to try. read more

Decided to pop in for a quick bite before my flight and so glad I picked this spot. It's inside a hotel and not packed so the service was good. I had an iced oatmilk latte which was perfect! I ordered a breakfast burrito which was filling and flavorful. The famous Powells bookstore was nearby so the location was great. read more

Breakfast review: amazing bacon, great tunes and service. Sadly no brisket hash in the am and just OK breakfast potatoes. It was a challenge for me to find a walkable place open for sit-down breakfast for a morning . I got here just as the doors opened at 6:30am. I came here for the Smokey Brisket Hash on their menu from a picture here but sadly it's not on the breakfast menu anymore. Their menu as of November 2021 was here: https://app.kallpod.com/customer/s/hilo-hotel With the supply chain issues, they are out of a few things. Luckily the staples in the Hi-Lo breakfast were there. Mine came with 2 eggs over easy, bacon, and gluten-free toast. Eggs were cooked right and the toast was solid. The potatoes were pre-seasoned so possibly frozen. But the bacon. The bacon was so good. Crispy but not burnt, and thick sliced. (See my picture) With my coffee (general drip but they do have an espresso machine) I had almond milk. Andrew F. was my server. Great service, friendly, and played video game soundtracks by orchestras on Pandora Bathrooms have a code and there is a gender inclusive/family bathroom (aka gender "neutral"). Next time: I'd come in the morning for bacon and tunes. read more

We had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast at Craft PDX before leaving Portland. The service was amazing by Lux (hope I spelled that right) he was very welcoming, very sociable, and easy to have morning conversation with, just a great pleasurable person to have met. The restaurant was very clean and vibrant with glass windows, and very personal for us an amazing butterfly wall. Let me not forget the amazing food we ordered The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Pain Perdu, with a side of eggs, bacon, and handmade sausage, which was just so savory and full of flavor, absolutely delicious. Definitely would recommend for breakfast or brunch. read more

Mine was a breakfast experience shortly after opening, being in Eastern time and squeezing in breakfast before heading to the 7:30 appointment some crazy person schedule. I sat anywhere, with lots of options since I opened the place up except for one guy who got there two minutes before me (stupid me, I'll train harder next time). Coffee tasted trendy and I quickly picked the gingerbread pancakes, add a side of eggs to protein-load with a long run looming later in the day. I was pleased with the taste, not overly sweet, and the craisins and nuts added to the ambiance. Minus-1 for non-real syrup, but that takes a special special feat for real maple. Although we are close to Canada, but I digress. They gave me two eggs for only $2 extra, over-easy was actual pretty over-easy-ish instead of basically raw like some places try to pull off. Friendly prompt service made this a place where I'd return when in downtown Portland again. read more

Surprised that there's no room service if you're staying in the hotel. Burger and fried chicken sandwich were mediocre - seemed reheated. Service was surprisingly fast, which further makes me think it was reheated. We like the hotel overall, but we'll probably order delivery next time we want food without having to go out. read more

We had an awful experience here. Had a reservation for 10am. At 10:50am still no food, even though people who were seated and ordered after us got their food. In addition, they brought out food that was not what we ordered. When we explained our displeasure with the service and started getting up to leave, the manager tried to say the food was coming out right now. We never saw our food at all. We eventually just left. They weren't even apologetic. I would NOT recommend eating at this restaurant! read more

Staying at The Hoxton a few blocks away and were excited to try something new for lunch. We entered through the hotel lobby and I was a little taken aback at how small the restaurant was. We were the only ones there and sat at the bar. After a few minutes the bartender appeared. I was in the mood for a sweet girly drink as I was celebrating my bday with my hubby. I inquired about girly drink options and her response was short of sarcastic. She said she didn't believe in girly or manly drinks. Her tone of voice was unfriendly but I brushed it off. I then proceeded to ask her what sweet drinks they have and again she sarcastically responded that she didn't make any sweet drinks. I quickly perused the drink menu and settled on a Prosecco-based drink. Lo and behold! It was a girly/sugary drink. We ordered the fried chicken thigh app and the trout sandwich with fries. The food was delicious. The service was quite disappointing and was kind of a mood-killer. Also we saw her take a couple of sneaky shots during our 1.5 lunch. read more
