Love the fact that this is a rooftop restaurant with decent views of the downtown skyline. The food is good. The drinks are good. The prices are indicative of the fact that is is part of a hotel. But, they have a nice happy hour.

this place was soooo cute and yummy! i love their vegan options and the staff was super kind. we got sparkling water, a buffalo cauliflower plate, a beet hummus platter, and broccolini. the pricing was fair and i love that they have rooftop seating.

We decided to try this rooftop restaurant in our hotel. We had the best experience and food ! Eduardo was great and recommended we tried the pizzas. The firewood pizza was delicious ! The drinks were also good. It was a good place to eat and enjoy the sunset . We had a great view of Portland ! Eduardo also joined us to sing happy birthday to our friend service was great!

Our company had a holiday luncheon event at Met Tavern and from the moment we reserved the space, we were treated with kindness and impeccable service. Kaya and Annette, our event coordinators are so easy to work with. They recommended a delicious holiday spread. The staff was amazing and the food was tasty. The full size desserts were 10 out of 10! Cocktails were a hit and they even had a great selection of mocktails available. The event was seamless.

WOW!!! This restaurant checks all the boxes. Delicious food, drinks, friendly and helpful service staff, indoor/outdoor seating, and the view from the 6th floor restaurant is perfect for people watching or a sunset. Metropolitan Tavern is on the top floor of Hotel Eastlund near the convention center and the max line. The lobby of the hotel has a clean cozy hip vibe. The hotel has an attached parking structure, Grand Ave. entrance. Metropolitan Tavern is part of Urban Restaurant Group.

Staff were awesome. Great view and food was good. Came in for happy hour. Just walked in no reservations. They have a rooftop outside seating but it was raining on the day I came so I didn't get to enjoy the outside rooftop seating but it looked beautiful. The Mckenzie Twisted Meniscus IPA was good, and really enjoyed the pizza & calamari but I didn't care for the sauce that came with the calamari. They brew the McKenzie. Also tried the Raging Rhino Red. Really good as well. Ordered: Mckenzie Twisted Meniscus IPA Mckenzie Raging Rhino Red CALAMARI BURRATA YUCATAN TACOS

Caesar Salad w Steak

Service was exceptional and the views are amazing at night. Food was respectable considering the price.

We went here for happy hour before the first day in concert and it was absolutely wonderful. The weather was amazing that evening and it was the perfect night to sit on the rooftop deck with a view. The happy hour appetizers were delicious and the drinks were good too. I would definitely go back. Our server was very good and accommodating when we switched seats into a different section with a better view and he took very good care of us.

Kobe beef slider.  The other one didn't last long enough to be photographed

One of my BFFs wanted to surprise me with a girls night. Happy hour and a movie. I was super excited because nobody had taken me to the movies, including me, in about 5 years. We were going to see Irving Berlin's White Christmas. Oh my word, I loved it so much! Anyway, before I knew how awesome the movie was going to be, she surprised me and took me here to the Metropolitan Tavern. I'd never been before, at least I don't think I have unless it used to be the Holiday Inn's Windows, which was in business years ago and had a rooftop restaurant in NE Lloyd District. They have a generous happy hour menu and all reasonably priced considering how fancy pants it is. Both of us settled on the Kobe beef sliders. I was so hungry y'all almost didn't get a photo! They were divine. A bit of gooey cheese and a smattering of aioli sauce and voilà! They were sizable too. It took several bites to take care of them. My sweet friend had a porter to drink, I'm not drinking alcohol right now and had a Coke. Our service was excellent and we had a perfect view of the terrible weather that evening. We both noticed that they do a brunch on the weekends. That's our vibe. We're going to wait until the terrible weather goes away and then we'll be back. 2024 - Review # 25

Food was very tasty and delicious. Their caesar salad and cauliflower buffalo "chicken" hit the spot. Our drinks were yummy. We tried one of their seasonal cocktails, I could have drank multiples of them I can't remember which drink it was. Our server was amazing, she was busy yet very attentive to everyone. The ambiance is lovely, perfect outdoor seating on a nice sunny day. Lots of space, and the inside is also very nice. This restaurant is located inside a hotel. I would come back to try more of their drinks and food items.

Undercooked oily calamari
Tripp J.

Calamari is undercooked consistently... 2 more minutes or higher temp would equal golden delish instead of oily limp 2 minutes after it hits the table. Please inform your chef

Made reservations through Open Table for lunch before an event at the nearby Oregon Convention Center. This restaurant is located on the top floor of the Hotel Eastlund. Street parking available through Parking Kitty, or several pay to park lots and garages nearby. They have a small lunch menu with a nice variety of options. We decided on the Cold Turkey BLT with fries, The Rooftop Reuben with baby gem salad, and the apple crisp with ice cream for dessert. All the food was really good and served hot. Loved the amount of meat on the sandwiches and the fries were nice and crispy. The dessert had a yummy pepita brittle on top. Service was great, after we were seated. Only one person was handling the hostess area, bar area and serving all tables when we arrived at noon. It took roughly ten or so minutes to be seated. Staff was friendly and communicative though. Multiple employees brought our food and cleared our table. Loved the teamwork! The view was spectacular! The outside seating would be great on a nice, warm day. We enjoyed our first visit and would return.

Anyone has gone to their 4th of July celebration? I am getting the GA tickets just want to know what's that like.

Is your boozy brunch include bottomless mimosas?

It's mimosas for every bite. Meaning they keep coming till the food is cleared off the table. Let me know if you have more questions.

Olympia Provisions is consistently one of our favorite places to frequent in PDX. Great location,…read morefun ambiance, pleasant staff, fabulous food! We are typically brunch people, making it here most often on a Saturday or Sunday for a late brunch. Their benedicts are to die for... truly, they're all wonderful. Their Laser Potato is out of this world. Truly, my favorite item on their menu. It is fabulous in all ways. I often take a side of it home just to enjoy later. We recently tried them for dinner. Their muscles are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truly, the best I've ever had. This beats living in the southeast on the coast, any west-coast seafood restaurant, and every place I've ever enjoyed in Italy. They've certainly topped the muscle game. Highly recommend Olympic Provisions. I will gladly vouch that the negative reviews are from the haters, just to hate. The overall experience has never been anything less than fantastic. Photos to follow (hopefully, if I can find them! HA!) Enjoy OP next time you're in PDX!

On this visit, Kevin was taking chill care of the atrium, delivering BRIGHT, BEEFY, FRESH Hierloom Tomatoes with Burrata & crisp Focaccia breadcrumb that is SO RICH - no saucisson required! HOWEVER... if you decide to dabble, the infamous CHARCUTERIE ART should include the Green Peppercorn Paté - everything beloved about a mild sausage, more tender, seasoned to herbal perfection with split peppercorns & a sprinkle of flake salt - the meat medley is heavenly with a toasted crostini + Triple Cream Brie, cranberry/raisin chutney on top. Amen!

Changing seasonal menus means it's never the same thing twice (except the steam burgers, which are a beloved institution of their own, and I hope they stay on the menu forever). The best thing about Canard, besides the food and service, is how accessible it is. You don't have to be well educated about wine to benefit from their excellent collection. Those who might find finer-dining items intimidating will also find familiar favorites on the menu. Even my teenager, who can be wary of trying new things, was persuaded by beautiful presentation to give every dish a chance (spoiler: she liked everything she ate!). Just the best place, worth every penny.

I did a walk in around 6pm on a weekday and there were plenty of seats at the counter where you can watch them cook. The foie gras is delicious but not a must do for the pancakes. I think it works better with the duck frites. I think the duck was good but I just had one bite so can't remember. The fries were good though. Foie gras dumplings were also memorable but I don't necessarily need to get it again. The arugula salad was refreshing although I'd ask to have it accompany the duck stacks next time to have a refreshing side. I love fish so I expected to love the chicken fried trout but it was just alright compared to the other dishes. The Paris brest was excellent. Personally, a little too much passionfruit tartness for me but loved the milk crumbles. Heartless Rita mocktail tasted too much like juice for me.

Googling for a hot new restaurant and I stumbled upon Wolf and I am so glad the fates led me here…read more Was able to make reservations via Opentable. Reservation confirmation said, that door opens at 6:30pm and dinner service starts at 7pm. Phew, I'm sometimes bad with predicting the traffic patterns, so that gives you a little cushion. AND I arrived at 6:30pm on the dot. Ha! Plenty of street parking, but I wasn't sure I was in the right place since there was no sign. But, the building's number is clearly marked. So I stepped inside. There was music playing from the back of the building and I just kept moving towards the music. After 2 doorways, my husband remarked it was like we were entering a speakeasy. We stepped into a living room and proceeded through another doorway to find an open kitchen and jaw dropping red alder dining table. Standing in the kitchen was Chef Riley Eckersley and he greeted us like we were old friends. He had a couple of cocktails ready to pour and explained his concept of his place that has only been open for 3 weeks. Imagine an intimate dinner party (6 guests the night I was there) gathering for conversation while being taken on a culinary journey around Oregon. Throughout the evening, every detail was carefully curated, from the ingredients (from the coast to the mountains, he covered every corner), to the plating, music, and drinks (everything from mezcal, sake, orange wine, etc). The whole experience lasts 2 1/2-3 hours and I enjoyed every minute. I will certainly return as the menu changes with the seasons of Oregon. We began the evening as strangers, and ended as close friends.

What a unique and fun experience! There are comfy couches and a pool table during cocktails.

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.

Delightful dining experience at this high quality yet comfortable and welcoming food and wine spot…read more Food: 5 Service: 4.5 Atmosphere: 4.5 Cost to worth it rating: 4.5 ($75 per person for a set menu with lots of food) Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes Eve award: best spaghetti dish Highlights: - Prix fixe: amazing spread and variety to share! 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.

So we went to town on ordering a few things: Half a dozen of oysters-super fresh, small and briny served on salt plate. They included a house made hot sauce that tasted super fruity.

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 did end up sending it back (which i hate doing) and got it redone adding another 10isj minutes of waiting on top of our already pretty long wait (but again it was busy so we didnt rlly care much for the wait) but i did get full off of the sides by the time the redo came out The redo definitely tasted alot better, it didnt taste burnt which was good but in general didnt really have much flavor. I will say the potatoes were good, bell peppers were okay, unfortunately nothing was great....we ended up spending around ~$210 for two people for a meal that really did not satisfy either of us, we'll maybe give it another try on a less busy day but it was rough considering this was also our anniversary dinner
