Il Solito Breakfast
Omari D.

Stay at the Kimpton included breakfast/brunch here, so I took advantage after a great fun night out with friends. It was pretty low-key and service was on the slower side, but I was in no rush & didn't mind. I did notice 2 other tables looking for 'any' server frequently which let me know what to possibly expect. As for my meal, I kept it simple and did a Mimosa, a side of Fruit and the Il Solito Breakfast with cheesy eggs. Easy choice and exactly what I was in the mood for. The fruit, that was the hit... I literally felt like it came straight from a garden. It was on the pricey side for breakfast, but the food was solid, and the vibe was relaxed, making it the overall experience I anticipated.

B.E.A.S.T. Sandwich

Tough review because the food was tasty but the service was less than stellar. We got free breakfast up to $30 per person. We ordered the short rib hash. It is a very good portion at $28. The food was really delicious, however, it feels like the food is reheated because the bottom pieces of meat were cooler than the others. The real issue was the service. The male servers were not attentive. We ordered coffee and orange juice but never got served it until we had to ask. The water pitcher was empty a few times and had to ask about refills. Then the next day we came back due to our free breakfast with IHG credit and the women servers were wonderful. Again food is great, but service is hit and miss!

Brioche French Toast
Jenna W.

Went to brunch here, but it was overall disappointing. The service was friendly, but the food was mediocre overall. The brioche French toast was good, but nothing special. The biscuits weren't really biscuits but the same brioche bread it seemed. The outside doors to the restaurant weren't even open, we had to come around a few times and knock. I think they rely mostly on breakfast customers from the attached hotel.

Greek Yogurt Parfait

We stayed at the Kimpton Hotel upstairs, and came down here for breakfast during our stay. Brunch items on the menu were delicious, and waiters were nice and accommodating with my son's food allergies. The decor is modern hipster and I absolutely love their glass bottle Christmas tree.

The breakfast potatoes have to be the best I've ever add once you add some salt and pepper to them. If you like crispy potatoes this is where it's at. Service here was very good. I opted for the Caprese toast I never had it before. Mozzarella was very fresh. My wife really enjoyed her parfait. Will definitely return!

Scrambled 2 Eggs* Your Way

The servers were super nice at the restaurant. The food came out quickly and the eggs were cooked perfectly. There's big bright windows that let in a lot of light and provide a good view of downtown. Perfect convenient stop before hitting the road!

12/14/2023 - Drag'd to Dinner Holiday drag show!  2020 Toscana Banfi red blend with a tiramisu
Mikhail H.

I have only been here twice including my recent visit. I never had a reason to not go. I was in the main space at a Christmas party eons ago that was wicked fancy so I just associated this with a fancy dinner. I then kept trying to go for back when we had Portland Dining Month since they always had a really tasty looking offering. Suddenly I see Drag'd to Dinner promoted to see a drag show and order some food and drinks here... sounded like a perfect happening for me to attend and catch up with a few friends for the holidays. The gorgeous Coco Jem Holiday was our hostess and we got treated to a fun line up of drag performers doing great Christmas songs. They had a delightful red blend my friend and I shared a bottle of though I grabbed an extra glass too! RJ was a truly amazing bartender and person and we were so happy that we were seated at the bar. Now let's get the real talk... Chef Casey made me an insanely delicious plate of pasta kissed with pesto, Parmigiano Reggiano, cherries and pork belly. I am still dreaming of this delicious dish and might need to pop in again for it praying it is still on the menu - I cleaned my plate and was in awe as to how perfect it was. I honestly had no idea they had a bar area and that was so great since it seems like a pretty formal restaurant but tucking in for a plate of pasta and glass (or three) of wine at the bar is a lovely way to hang out somewhere on a rainy Portland evening.

I See U
Mercedes C.

I almost always run away from hotel restaurants for several reasons. And even though we didn't stay here, I particularly see hotel restaurants as add-ons, have their own captive audience and, I've never had much luck with them. But on our last night in Portland while we visited our daughter during Labor Day weekend, we decided on a quiet, family dinner. There were some hits and misses at this nicely kept Kimpton Hotel restaurant. Yet, they welcomed us with open arms even when we arrived at a little past 9 for dinner when doors closed at 10. There are no restrooms here- so you'd have to go and walk through Kimpton Hotel and down the stairs to use 'em. Our server was skillful and memorized all of our beverages, appetizers and main plates without jotting anything down. Caesar salad for the three of us was scrumptious and wanted more. Their version of ciabatta 'garlic bread' had wonderful roasted garlic cloves and was oh so buttery. We wanted more. My daughter's Shrimp Scampi+seared scallops+linguine was the best dish on the table. Scallops had that terrific char but man- were they juicy. Linguine? Prepared al dente. Hubs enjoyed his salmon- but got like ramen noodles to replace the original side. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I decided on an Eggplant Parm and was so looking forward to dig my fork into juicy layers. Theirs? Eggplant seemed like pre-prepped patties. On a happier note though, the mozzarella was fresh and the tomato sauce was sublime in this (what seemed to be) ready-made dish. Despite that, service was nice at this hotel restaurant.

Burratta
Tracy D.

It was really hard to order for pick up due to the line not going through to the restaurant. It just kept looping me back to the hotel. Upon entering the restaurant with my dog, which is why I tried to order via phone, the staff was kind enough to take my order and suggest a place within the hotel to wait for my food. The Burrata salad was so fresh and tasty! Definitely a must if you appreciate that type of cheese. I also had the shrimp scampi pasta was which rich in flavor! In terms of value, I thought the amount of pasta it was served with was skimpy.

Pork Belly Hash
Anusha G.

My review of this restaurant is a little weird since I was dining for a free breakfast as a result of my stay at the Kimpton itself. Our server was kind in explaining the menu to us and got our food to us very quickly. We got the pork belly hash and the scrambled bruschetta. They both were great but just a little heavy for breakfast. I managed to eat all my eggs but left most of the focaccia because the ratios were a little off in the bruschetta for my liking. In general this was a good place but the breakfast was alright.

Italian Sausage Lasagne
Samantha J.

I had the pleasure of trying brunch and dinner here so here are my thoughts on the individual services: Brunch- kind of a clusterf&@k Food was great, but the service was strange. Each of our individual items came at very separate times. Almost as if each item was an afterthought to the other. That said, the pork belly hash was a refreshing take on brunch. The pork was crispy and the house hollandaise was wonderful. Dinner was the real winner here- the dinner service team was phenomenal. You could tell they all have a really great energy together and everyone was so friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed the food! We tried the Lasagne, spicy meatballs and bucatini, and the focaccia. The sauces on the lasagne made this classic dish really pop. The meatballs were wonderfully spicy and the focaccia was so garlicky and crispy. I nearly inhaled the tiramisu. It was light on the last fingers, but I didn't mind. I paired it was the tastiest cappuccino ever. Overall, food was great. This is solid Italian faire wile in downtown.

Caesar Salad
Yolanda H.

This restaurant was recommended by a frequent visit to Portland. All of my items were flavorful and fresh. The server was knowledgeable about the menu and daily specials. All team members were attentive to the guest tables. I had the Sunday dinner and Caesar salad. As impressive as the menu looks, my favorite item was the side of bread. I will also order the side of bread with entree because it is warm toasted and still chewy.

Arancini
Ploy N.

10/10 across the board for our experience here recently. Went in with not much expectation on a random night that turned out to be very empty there but maybe that's why we had such a good time! The decor inside was one of the coziest spot that I've been to. Yet, the space is modern and open with lots of seatings. They're attached to a chic hotel, which I wasn't aware of but that's pretty cool. Service was friendly and fast. Henry was very kind and cheerful throughout the night. He informed us of the special deal on Sundays: 50% off all wine bottles between $60 and $200. Of course, we jumped on it and treated ourselves to a bottle of Pinot noir. Worth it to come even just for the wine. As for food, we enjoyed everything we ordered. The Arancini was nice and crispy, could be a bit hotter and used more seasonings but I liked that they weren't overly heavy. The Fristo Misto was in the same boat. The prawns and peppers were the best part and they got a super flavorful ceust recipe going on. For mains, we split 2 pasta dishes. My vote goes to the Campanelle Romagna. A new combo for me. I loved the balance of the sweet cream and saltiness from the prosciutto. The green peas were fun too. The Radiatore was not bad by any means. I enjoyed the fun pasta shape and plenty of sausage and broccolini. Both dishes went very well together. They have a good selection of other pastas as well as heartier mains and rotating specials. The cherry on top for the meal was the free prosecco and Chocolate Torte for our anniversary. We really had a good time here and think this might really become our solito going forward!

Chicken fried steak with sausage gravy: 7/10 there a lot of chewy bits in steak and it was already a very thin cut. Also comes with scrambled eggs and potatoes. Potatoes were the best part since they were seasoned very well. Chicken and biscuit: 8/10 classic chicken and biscuit Shrimp and grits: 7/10 grits felt really heavy to eat and the shrimp was salty. It comes with an egg under the shrimp and a biscuit on the side so that helped dilute the salt a bit

The space itself is smaller and intimate, so bringing a larger group than about 4-5 people might not be ideal. The ambiance definitely gave Italy vibes, for sure. The chicken liver mousse was a good consistency, paired with the figs gave a nice balance between sweet and savory. The steak frites was a classic, steak was a good portion and cooked medium rare, but I'm sure if you wanted it more cooked through, you could make that request. The fries were definitely a standout, great texture and the garlic flavor gave a good contrast to the steak. My favorite dish was the dessert, the flaky crust gave a nice texture to the cream insides. I'm a huge passionfruit fan, so once I saw it was on the menu, I knew I had to try it. It didn't disappoint and I would definitely come back just for this dish alone. Overall a solid experience and would recommend people to try Canard out at least once!

The beverages were however very nice, and I recently had the cobbler dessert and it looked amazing and tasted better. We had the coffee (Extracto, love.), I had a really good hef and my mother a very well balanced Bellini that I was very pleasantly surprised with trying. From what I saw, the lunch sounds very good and I'd be more apt to recommend folks give that a shot if they happened to be going there too. I'm not sure if I'd recommend as a must go stop. Vibe wise, the ambience is overall really nice. I think having rolled flatware, even with just upgraded napkins, would better complete the aesthetic you initially see and feel. This would also connect with the price point of the food and quality of the beverages. As a fellow server, on that note I would expect more consistent stronger visual appearance standards with servers. (Sorry guys! But some of you looked great!) Overall, I'd definitely join a friend for coffee and lunch over there in the future. Just wouldn't be my top pick for a celebratory brunch or intimate dinner with a date or friends and fam.
