I thoroughly enjoy the Gordon for evening meals, however weekend breakfast is an entirely different experience. The food is unremarkable, served tepid. The coffee is anything but strong and served in small cups. Instead of someone coming by regularly for refills, they bring you an entirely new [small] cup of coffee that is not hot. There are too many good breakfast spots in Eugene/Springfield to return for that. read more

I was surprised at how delicious and reasonably-priced this restaurant was for lunch. I don't usually seek out hotels for brunches or dining, but a friend wanted to go here, and I acquiesced. I ordered the chicken avocado BLT and it was delicious and $14. It had a generous amount of grilled chicken and bacon, and came with a large portion of crispy seasoned fries. My friend told the waitress that it was my birthday and the waitress comped our dessert! Does that ever happen anywhere?!!! Wow...5 stars for that alone. There were other nice choices on the menu: salads, hummus sampler plate, burgers, veggie sandwich, pizza...all reasonably priced considering the slightly upper scale ambiance. read more

The first time I went I would have given 3 stars, I think it all depends on what you order. That time I ordered bar food off the happy hour menu, it was alright . The next time I went with my partner and had a sit down dinner. The tuna poke bowl was a perfect start. The seared PNW steelhead was cooked to perfection. My partners seared ahi tuna, chefs kiss . It was 5 star worthy. The rustic decor is so cute, the lemon drops were made just right, and the server was great. I wish I remembered her name. She helped us secure a seat at a nearby speakeasy. I'm glad we gave it a second chance, we will be back! read more

We had reserved over 18 rooms for our company's holiday party at the Gordon Hotel so I thought I'd try the restaurant. Service was very slow and I wanted to order food, felt like I had been overlooked. I had a drink and left. Ironically my boss had been sitting next to me when I first walked in and they charged me for his drink as well which I thought was little weird. I've been here for breakfast before and had good service. Just assume this was a one off experience at least I hope so! read more

The service is great at the bar and the atmosphere is fun and friendly. The fish and chips are so crispy and cooked to perfection. Definitely will be back. read more

Stopped in for drinks and dinner. Convenient location from my hotel, and a new place that feels modern and fun. Our waiter was nice and the restaurant was clean. I got the wagyu burger, which was kind of meh - tasty, but not juicy or big. If I were to come again, I'd get something else. read more

Okay. We get it. You're hip.... In Eugene. Service was very on brand for a big fish in a small pond. Lots of looks of disdain from the hostess and the bar staff. Ambiance is corporate chic. I hear the food is ok, but the vibe is way off and the service at the bar will ensure I never return. Hey management- you might want to train your bar staff on interpersonal communication. Seriously. read more

This was my first time coming here for brunch and it was great! I got a reservation for 2 on a Sunday morning, though I really didn't need one. Everyone who helped us was friendly and our food didn't take long to come out. They even gave my partner complimentary donuts for his birthday! We were seated inside in one of the booths which was comfortable while still maintaining the upscale interior aesthetic. The food was relatively inexpensive, being only $15 for each eggs benedict, and the portions were comparable to more diner-style breakfast spots. The potatoes were cut and seasoned perfectly, some of the best breakfast potatoes I've had in town for sure. The eggs on my benedict were cooked perfectly, and the hollandaise was light, flavorful, and citrusy, which I love. I will most definitely be coming back here for brunch to try more things on the menu! read more

The best ambiance restaurant in Eugene. Modern and gorgeous located in the Gordon hotel. Came here for a happy hour. Drinks were great and we tried calamari and caeser salad, both were good. Worth to check it out. read more

I've eaten here several times. The service is amazing! The manager of the restaurant came around and said hello to everyone which was nice and asked about our experience. You have to try the homemade chips and fondue - out of this world! Everything is so well prepared. We've never had a dish that we were unhappy with. It was very busy tonight which is great to see for a local restaurant. We love it! read more

Hubby and I had a great experienced. The food and the atmosphere are fantastic. The only thing that is odd was that our waiter didn't even ask us if we want dessert. I always get dessert after my meal . We'll definitely going back. read more

Pretty good place for a fancy dinner! I'm not giving a full 5 stars because the inside feels crowded and while I loved the salmon dish I got, I left having a nasty case of roasted garlic breath that was soo strong! Personal preference on that seasoning, but overall, a good alternative along the same lines of Marche or Rye. read more

Nice bartender. Ordered dinner at bar. Salad, salmon & chicken. . 45 mins later no food. Bartender checked brought out 1 cold salmon. He took it to be reheated. Out came a small salad. Waited and had to ask for our chicken dish. Please don't bring food out to 1 person at a time. Comped beers which was nice but food wasn't worth the wait. A woman near us ordered her bowl 30 mins after us and got her food before us Manager was not friendly read more

If you are a person of color don't visit this establishment. The privileged bartender working the bar on 6/18/2023 at 11am would not even acknowledge a question or take our drink order. I am sure if you have the same skin tone as him, you would have great service unfortunately our skin wasn't the right color to deserve service or even a simple acknowledgment by this individual. Trust me, as a minority, it's easy to see disgust in a persons eyes as they refuse service. Shared my disappointment with the manager and was extremely apologetic. Asked if there was anything she could do to make it better, unfortunately there was nothing at that point that could have been done. read more

Went to restaurant on October 27, 2024, service was good, food was slow, cold & dry. Tried again on January 4, 2025, after waiting for a server for 15 minutes, we left, went to "The Original Pancake House" for great fast service & food. read more

I haven't been to the Gordon for a while and brought my husband there for the first time for lunch. His burger was outstanding, my salad was drowning in dressing that was more vinegar than "citrus." I don't know if they are having staffing issues in the dining room, but the service was horrible. The hostess was not at all friendly or helpful when we asked for a different table, and her attire was very sloppy. The waiter spent more time around the corner and in the kitchen than he did on the floor. We sat for 15 minutes before he took our order and he didn't check back with us when we dined. Definitely disappointing after the many good experiences I've had in the past. read more

Great selection of food. Haven't ever had something I didn't like here in the 4-5 times I've been. Great ambiance, and I've always had good service. read more

Friendly staff, nice menu with something for everyone. The open air aspect is nice when the weather is nice.

Food was outstanding service was excellent Great atmosphere and reasonable priced I would recommend over and over

We appreciated the fact that the employees took their Thanksgiving time to offer a Thanksgiving buffet at the hotel restaurant last week. We also enjoyed the environment, kind service, & the way the dishes were listed & described on the special menu. The salad greens with hazelnuts & the mashed potatoes were incredible. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal had issues -- everything was lukewarm and somewhat flavorless. The fish & stuffing didn't taste right, the turkey was bland, & the prime rib was overcooked. The worst was the dessert. We had the pumpkin pie, & it seemed like it was canned pumpkin with a pre-bought, unbaked shell. Overall, it felt like institutional food & did not match the vibe of the restaurant or the hotel. We understand that it is no easy feat to serve a Thanksgiving meal. However, it would be better to charge more and use a higher quality of ingredients & offer more attention to detail in the preparation of the food to elevate the experience. We hope that changes will occur in the restaurant food. read more

The bartenders Tyler and Orion took great care of us on game day, even when they were extremely busy, and their attentiveness and professionalism were greatly appreciated. Food was also delicious. read more

Although we made a reservation for 6:30 we arrived about 45 minutes early and they were able to seat us immediately, they were super accommodating and polite. Although it took a bit for our food to come out, overall it was quite delicious. I got the seared ahi and enjoyed it very much. The general ambiance of the restaurant was quite pleasant. I would recommend coming here and checking out the other shops afterwards. read more

The food was disgusting, everything was burnt. Shoe leather quality. I hope this saves a lot of people time and money. Eugene has so many wonderful restaurants. This one is NOT one of them. Our server, Lisa, was very nice. The food quality certainly was not her fault. Barf! read more

So I ordered the chicken wings and was kind of shocked at the amount of sauce that you applied to the boring ass baked wings. And then you also included a dipping sauce which was not even helpful because you had already drowned the plate in this sauce. Service was fine but these wings were mediocre as a mother fucker. read more

Are there a couple of nights ago and everything was excellent from the food to the service. We had a show to go to that was an hour and a half from the time we were seated and let the server know. They had our food out fast. I will definitely eat here again when I'm in Eugene. read more

While in town visiting colleges we made Easter brunch reservations at Gordon Tavern. Buffet menu looked good. I booked a little late so didn't have too many options but did manage to get one of the last times available and booked the reservation for 3pm. Friendly service upon check and our server was super nice. But that is where it stopped. Buffet tables were a huge mess and quite honestly DIRTY. ALL the food was clearly left over and picked through from earlier parties. Nothing was fresh. Everything was cold, hard or empty. It was all clearly sitting there for a while. I asked if the food was going to be replenished. They looked surprised and asked what else I needed. Someone else piped in that she would replenish when things were empty. Separate from me, my friend asked same question and was told it's at the end of the buffet time. She said our reservation was for 3pm and they just said "let us know what you want and we will bring it". We barely ate anything because it was so bad. We weren't even there for a full hour since it was pointless they were clearing out. Employees were packing up. We just ended up paying our bill and walking over to Cornucopia for a meal. I have never been so disappointed. Definitely will never be back here. read more

Great location and vibe, perfect spot for a nice night out or business lunch. It is housed in the new Gordon Hotel with has a curated selection of art, a speakeasy that requires a password for entry and a rooftop taco bar... So there is an entire nights worth of activities within the one building. Pro Tip: Because there is so much to do in the surrounding area, the Tavern fills up pretty quickly. I would suggest making a reservation if you know you want to dine here just to make sure you get a table. read more

Just what we needed. A comfortable, local, feel good joint with good service and see decent food. Great after work meeting place. Nice comfortable place. Good happy hour options. Sorry I didn't discover earlier in my stay. I come to Eugene often and this will definitely be on the circuit! read more

After Hult Center cocktails and dinner!! Love they have happy hour even on Saturdays, so we filled up on sides and pizza. Brussel sprouts with bacon and blue cheese for the win!!! Great service, good portions and good cocktails. I personally found the Old Fashioned to be a little on the sweet side but not enough to not order a second one. Highly recommend reservations when there are events at The Hult. read more

Arrived at 5:30 for a 5:45 reservation for five on Friday night. Told that the party at 'our' table had been there 2.5+ hours and 'should be' finishing up soon. Finally seated at 6 pm - but only after we inquired again at 5:55 and they scrambled to set up another table since other party still wasn't leaving. Once seated we were then told by our waitress that the kitchen was very backed up and not accepting any orders for at least the next 10 minutes per the manager. Anything ordered would then take at least an hour to be served to us. We had a show to attend so had no choice but to leave and scramble to find something else. The table beside us did the same (got up and left upon hearing it would take too long to be served). Unacceptable to not manage reservations and how they are seating people. It's unfair to patrons and their own staff. I'm no longer able to trust that a reservation with them means anything and it's doubtful I'll be back. read more

Celebration dinner for Wife's birthday. Waitress was friendly. Place was busy for a Tuesday evening. We ordered the calamari appetizer. Wife had the petite filet. I wanted the chicken cordon bleu, but the waitress warned me that it would take at least 20 minutes to prepare, and the large group in the other room had already ordered several of them ahead of us. My wife found a long blond hair in the calamari. Waitress took away the platter and brought us another. I expected the calamari to be removed from the tab, but it wasn't. My wife's filet was tasty and tender, but I don't think it was worth the price. My seared tuna was tasty. Overall is was a good dinner, but I don't think it was worth the $100+ dinner tab, read more

Excellent food, great service. Will definitely be back. We have never eaten here but by circumstance ended up at the Gordon Tavern. It was a lucky break. Couldn't have asked for friendlier service. I will admit they could probably use a few more staff but they were great and the food was excellent. read more

We had thee best breakfast at Gordon Tavern. This was such a cool spot to have breakfast with the fam. It was kinda reminiscent of New Orleans, with great staff & just a cool vibe. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures to post but, I will say the Eggs Benedict were the group favorite. Everything we ordered was delicious, presentation was beautiful, good time! read more

We heartily recommend the Manhattan cocktail as being one of the best we have enjoyed. I believe it is the straawberry infused vermouth and the rhubarb bitters that contribute to its unusual but successful flavor. The pizza has potential but it was served lukewarm and worse - it was not cooked evenly. The server graciously returned it and the second time the pizza was much better ... still not cooked evenly. The Brussel Sprouts were also cold when served... and also replaced.. still not great but better. I feel there are "new restaurant growing pains" happening here. The servers and bartender did their best and we appreciated it. read more

Love this place happy hour is on point. Chicken slow and hummus probably the best around. Luke and Andrew always keep the glass full. Thank you guys. read more

Great ambiance, poor service, food marginal at best. Wilted and rotted greens on salad, cold calamari, so-so 'pizza', more flatbread with mostly bread and haphazard tossing on of toppings, some slices had them, others did not. Bar menu for lunch and up to 5pm, dinner meal looks to be happy hour plus for food. With all the incredible food locations around, I will pass. FYI, 2 blocks away and starting supper at 5pm, consider trying Ambrosia. They never disappoint, have an extensive menu options and always, incredible service and staff. read more

Nice upscale bar with a decent menu. The old fashioned they offer is well made and their wine selection is very nice. The food was well made and decently proportioned. It a great location down by the 5th street and downtown. read more

Stopped in for breakfast today. We had 2 omelettes and a traditional breakfast. The omelettes were fantastic and the traditional breakfast was also very tasty. The portions were large and the pricing was good. We enjoyed some Bloody Mary's while we sat in the sun! The service was great! The great part is they serve until 3pm which works well for us on lazy weekends read more

The drinks were really yummy, and clearly strong. It was worth the cost. The Gnudi was delicious but a super small portion for the price. We felt that way about the rest of the food. Otherwise it was a really cute place to eat, but it was pretty overcrowded and hard to walk in and out with the small aisles. read more
