    Came here for the ~Glamorama~ brunch. Food was delicious and the performers were amazing. Seriously so fun with the DJ keeping the party going. Staff was great too keeping our drinks full and really hustling bringing the food out. There were three courses and all the food was super good. We had the avocado toast, omelet, egg Benedict, banana foster french toast and crepes. So good and so filling. Drinks were also great, they even accommodate my friend with mocktails. Highly recommend and hope we can attend again.

    I've driven by Gracie's for years, but had never tried their brunch. The food is both beautiful and tasty. The staff was amazingly friendly. The atmosphere, classy.

    Tea for two and Prosecco
    Morgan H.

    A beautiful afternoon tea experience! The interior is stunning with classic styles with a touch of early 1900's charm. The staff is attentive and super helpful - we had a last minute request and were not only accommodated but the staff was so delightful. The tea was delicious and warm, with staff checking in regularly. They serve all the special little pieces of a tea, including clotted cream. The only downside would be the food, which was fine but nothing too special. Would definitely come back!

    Lobster Benedict
    Emma P.

    Gracie's is one of the best places for breakfast in NW Portland. Tucked inside the Hotel Deluxe, this is easily a go to breakfast. They make their English muffins in house from scratch so I encourage you to try a Benedict for the full experience. My favorite is the lobster Benedict but the breakfast fried rice is a fast follow. The portions are large but if you have some extra room their blueberry crumb muffin is also made in house and is a welcomed add on to any meal. The staff is always friendly and the coffee is always hot (unless of course it's iced)

    Roasted veggie omlet, Potato Anna and homemade english muffin
    Maureen M.

    Wonderful experience. I was in town for a conference and took an extra day to wander the city. Michele was my server and suggested the homemade english muffin-- so delicious. On the way out I asked the front desk clerk for the name of the hotel that used to occupy this space. "The Mallory". I stayed at the Mallory in the 90's; It was a historic and elegant. Gracie's keeps this spirit alive. One star off for the gruff teenage hostess who led me to a rather undesirable table to start. With the dining room 2/3 empty this seemed quite unnecessary. That said, this is a common indignity experienced by solo diners - especially, women. I pointed to a small table by the window to which she brusquely replied, "that table is for two people". She, instead, then led me to one of the half moon tables which was inadvertently perfect. Fortunately, I was served by the professional and attentive Michele which helped me shake the feeling of taking up her time. (hostess: very small, thin, with long reddish black braid.)

    Chilaquiles rojo
    Haeley R.

    The service was really friendly and welcoming, and the latte was SO good. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his chilaquiles rojo, and my omelette with roasted veggies and goat cheese was INCREDIBLE! Perfect cheese-to-veg ratio, in my opinion. We also tried the sausage links and those were super tasty, with just the right amount of snap to them. Potatoes Anna was tasty and a fun textural experience, and the overall atmosphere is glamorous without being stuffy. The only thing that wasn't excellent was the wait for our food, which was long enough that some patrons who were seated and ordered after us were a good way through their meal before we got ours, but it's not a huge deal.

    Bacon and Egg Fried Rice & Fresh Berry Crepes
    Mia H.

    I came here for brunch and had the most amazing time. Located in a hotel, the restaurant can be a bit hidden, but it is truly a gem. The inside of the restaurant seems to have kept much of its history intact, leaving it very elegant, clean, and spacious. There was plenty of seating and the tables itself were so big and spacious, I could have bought 7-8 entrees before I filled it up! My partner and I ordered the bacon and egg fried rice, the fresh berry crepes, and the kale ceasar salad with grilled prawns and everything was phenomenal--I haven't had a brunch this good in a while. The fried rice was SOSO savory and I wish I knew what they put in it, because I've never had that blend of flavors before. The salad was so very good--the dressing was amazing and with the prawns, it was the perfect brunch salad. And, the crepes were light, not-too-sweet, and the perfect portion. Service throughout the whole experience was very quick and kind. Overall, I would love to come back here again and only have good things to say about brunch at Gracie's.

    One server for the entire restaurant, hosting and all, I felt for the guy. Took awhile to get our food but when we finally did the experience completely flipped... despite the server having his struggles the kitchen was definitely on point. My egg was poached perfectly, I was very happy with the mass majority of my food.... The flavors the textures and everything on the in between was really good if I had anything to complain about it other than the fact that they charge me five dollars for tea that we received for free all over the hotel...would be the toast. It was very hard, very hard. All in all, good eggs.

    Gracie's is a fully functional restaurant that has great prices and different selections to meet every breakfast eaters needs. They ask you to wait to be seated and the service after you are seated is pretty quick. This is the best English muffin I've ever had. I had to come back the next day for another one. The ambiance is quiet since they are open in the mornings and close for the evening. the views are very regal and old Hollywood-esque. I only knocked off a star because when I went back, one of my servers wasn't the nicest. I ordered my breakfast with the preface that I could possibly order more after. She brought me my check at the same time as when I received my food. I didn't even notice since I was focused on my food. When I asked her for the check, she very flatly answered that she gave it to me already. So I pulled my card out and she said she could check be out. But she looked like she was going to lunch or break and I didn't want to interrupt. I just wish I had communication that she was going to break and who would've been assisting me while she was gone. But there was none. If you go, definitely try the English muffin. It's definitely a treat.

    Brunch event

    Gracie's held a special brunch today. Ambiance was clean and open and full of grandeur with gold moldings and chandeliers. I had a green fennel salad with delicious champagne vinaigrette, tasty eggs Benedict , and banana foster's French toast. I would say first two courses were very good and the dessert was good but not amazing. The only but important negative part of my experience was our server gave us too much time to put in our order, then forgot to serve our main entree on time. We waited til we saw other tables receiving their dessert to say something. Promptly the server apologized for the mistake and gave us complimentary drinks as we waited for kitchen to prep our meal. It was good and we were starving. Overall I would say it was a good experience despite the meal delay.

Drinks deserve a shoutout too: their non-alcoholic options were great. My friend raved about the guava lemonade, and I had the blueberry vinegar shrub, which was excellent -- bright, crisp, and refreshing.

Feel like they are underselling it when they say it's 4 courses. They bring you more than 4 plates to get a taste of a variety of their standard menu. We were started with a small selection of snacks (olives, nuts, bread/butter) followed by a trio of starters (shrimp fritter, burrata, melons), pasta with a salad, main, and dessert. Pretty much from the menu, all the items on left side and top of the middle section and 1 of each from the middle and main section. The only thing we didn't get were the items on the right which they let us know ahead of time. Also they were cool with my hub not eating seafood which can be a challenge for us with any set menu. - Wines: stellar! Every one we got was fantastic. And being big wine drinkers often we find selections just ok. Pairings were just the right amount and lovely. - Spaghetti: one of the most amazing pasta dishes I've had. There's something about the meld of flavors with the dashi browned butter, heaps of parmesan, shaved truffle, mushrooms, and delicate pasta that came together so perfectly. Sounds simple but was incredible. My way more picky than I am hub put this dish on his last supper meal. He's not even a mushroom guy! 5 stars - Little gem salad: I'm not a dressing fan but the tahini was delightful. The freshness of the crispy leaves with that sesame flavor did something for me. 4.75 stars - Lamb shoulder: tender and not gamey at all which is sometimes my fear with lamb. The sleeper star here for me was the zucchini though. Not sure what made it so extraordinary, but they were. Also the grits gave it a southerny homey feel and the dukkah a nice crunch and spice. 4.75 stars - Shrimp fritter: nice fried ball with shrimp and corn and not too greasy. 4 stars - Buttermilk ice cream with bits of biscuit and fruit: nice dessert to end on and loved the mint. They also gave us some chocolate ice cream for our anniversary which I loved. 4 stars - Burrata: standard and lovely with some peaches and nectarines with twist of Thai basil. 3.5 stars - Melon: whipped avocado was fun with the honeydew and cantaloupe and nuoc cham gave it a bit of a sour kick. 3.5 stars - Counter: fun seeing the dishes prepared. They also have standard tables and even a parklet outside. - Vibes: very comfortable without any pretentiousness which is my fave kind of fine dining - Staff: everyone seemed to enjoy working there. Mags was friendly and helpful with the menu and checked in on us along the way. Midlights: - Olives: smoked Spanish with fennel pollen was too strong of a flavor for me. 3 stars Lowlights: - A few courses we were served but had to wait for a our wine pairings.

The foie is not buttery and the truffle tasted thin and had 0 flavor. I think we would've been happier with a dozen oysters. Iberico pork for 2. This was enough for 3 of us. The majo sausage and spatzel were excellent as was the pork. Think of thick cut pork chop and it tasted just like it. We had one piece dryer than the other but they were cooked closer to medium. This was the best dish of the night. At $79 I would certainly hope so. We ended the night with some house ice cream and the again, these guys understand classic flavors. Service here was terrific.

We picked the BBQ COHO Salmon Sandwich. Seared Coho salmon glazed with Bourbon BBQ sauce topped with baby Aragula and pickled red onions on a Portland French toasted potato bun. There's a $2 discount recess during happy hour (3-5pm). We were there at that time. (Is that the reason WHY the music were soo loud?) It was served with hand-cut fries. Both were just the perfect taste (delicious), and size for both of us. But, for some reason, I was still tempted to have something else. We looked at the desert menu, and decided on the Peach Crumble. Food taste so much better, when shared! Enough said. (We waited so long for this one, that we almost didn't made it to our event! We were enjoying our time here, that by the time we got to our car, we were rushing, and made it two minutes later we would have been late!) Negative: Music is too loud! Restroom could be improved. Do we need to see those words written on the board? I agree about ICE, but, that is not something we want to see.

    We had a great brunch here and really enjoyed the experience…read more The outdoor patio had a relaxed, comfortable feel. It was a great place to slow down, enjoy good food, and spend time together. The smoked brisket hash was the standout. It came with tender brisket, eggs, breakfast potatoes, peppers, onions, and vegetables. The flavors worked really well together. It was hearty, flavorful, and had something different in almost every bite. We also tried the burger and fries. They were simple, solid, and satisfying. The fries had a nice crisp, and the burger was a good choice for a classic brunch or lunch option. I also really appreciated the non-alcoholic drink selection. A lot of places treat zero-proof drinks like an afterthought, but here they actually had fun options. The Phony Espresso Negroni was a great non-alcoholic cocktail and made the meal feel special without needing alcohol. Overall, this was a very enjoyable brunch with good food, friendly service, a relaxed patio, and enough variety on the menu that I would happily come back again.

    Grabbed a booth in the bar area and was pleasantly surprised…read more The salad - with hazelnuts, chevre, and berries - was delicious and definitely the most virtuous thing I ate all trip. The bacon-wrapped dates were a caramelized treat, though I'd hoped for more than three. This stretch of downtown Portland feels safer than it did two years ago on my last trip. On that trip, I avoided walking this close to the river, getting turned around by a gauntlet of unsavory characters looking for trouble. The change was appreciated.

    When we first got there, there was no one at the host stand. When someone returned, we were greeted…read moreand were brought to our seats. Not even 1 minute later someone else who wasn't the host told us were in the wrong seats and asked us to move. This was weird and the first it has happened and the funny thing was that the seats were right next to the ones we were in but lower to the floor and less sight of the kitchen. While we obliged, it set up the dinner in an uncomfortable way. Our server was busy and was rushing us to get our drink order and said she would come back to get our food order. Once we ordered our food, I ordered the Hawaiian Opah and my colleague ordered the bacon wrapped dates and mushroom salad, we didn't hear or see from our server too often and at one point I had to hail her down to order a drink which took so long I ended to cancelling. The person who I assumed was the manager, came toward the end and said I didn't realize you were waiting and offered two cookies -- while I appreciated the gesture there were only 2 small ones and in some ways I would've been okay without it. The reason I am giving 2 stars is because the chef was very engaging and the food was tasty. Needles to say, because of the service, I definitely do not plan to return and would highly recommend you reconsider if you plan to go.

    Portland really is the land of deliciousness! We have not had a bad meal here, and Jacqueline was…read moreno exception! Dishes can be shared here, and our server suggested a few specialties for us to try. They also have a tasting menu but we opted for picking our own. We started with grilled oysters that were topped with kimchi butter and garlic. It was incredibly flavorful and perfectly grilled. We had the Little Gems salad, which was refreshing with the greens, radish, and green goddess sauce. The hamachi crudo is their specialty. The raw fish came with grilled pineapple and a bold and pungent fish sauce that meshed all the ingredients together cohesively for one sweet and savory dish! Absolutely recommend it! The lobster roll was absolutely delicious with bread that holds the flavors together. Cooked well and no notes here! The start of the evening was absolutely the cedar plank whole branzino. Wow, I have never been more impressed with a fish. Perfectly cooked with juicy, smoked flavors. 12/10 recommend! For dessert, we ordered an earl grey tea ice cream with blackberry, and peach sorbet. Both refreshing!

    Just an outstanding experience at Jacqueline. The food is top notch, great service, charming and…read morewell used space. What's not to like? We came here because I heard they have a great seafood menu and my kids recently started enjoying oysters and other shellfish that used to be "gross". We got here about 15 minutes to opening on a Friday night and there was already a line. We were fortunate to still get a spot outside which worked out because it wasn't too hot and the outdoor space is much more spread out than inside. We ordered a dozen oysters to start. Love their various droppers with infused mignottes and hot sauces. Really made it fun to try out different combos. We also got the cold smoked mussels, the hamachi crudo, grilled oysters, lobster roll, rockfish, and the little gem salad. In order of least favorite to favorite, the little gem salad was good but just not that memorable or spetqcular the way the other dishes were. Next, the grilled oysters were flavorful with the garlic and lime but I wished there was a little more kimchi flavor and overall more sauce given the size of the oysters (they were huge!). The lobster roll was good and I appreciated the different take on a lobster roll but my favorite lobster rolls that really accentuate the lobster flavor and this masked it a little. The hamachi crudo was a surprise. It's a dish you see a lot and I was a little worried about how the pineapple might overtake the rest of the flavors but that didn't happen. The balance between sweet, savory, sour, and crunch from the peanuts was perfect and every bite was really enjoyable. Finally, my favorite was the cold smoked mussels. You never know how fish sauce and tom kha might overwhelm everything but again, their chef understands flavor balance really well. You could taste all the flavors, the smokiness, the slight bitter and sour umami flavors and slight sweetness to round it out. It was outstanding and highly recommend. They also have great cocktails that go well with their dishes. Really enjoyed the experience here and will definitely come back.
