The food is more like appetizers to snack on while you try all of their drinks, so plan appropriately!! The food was good though- but it's the drinks that stood out. The drinks were, AMAZING.

Their whiskey collection is massive, you can sample the world of whiskey here. But their cocktails stole the show. Both the B-Side Remix and Foggy Notion were delicious and creative we couldn't have enough of them. Paired those with their flavorful dishes, it's a great experience. The Scallop Crudo was easily the best we've had. Arancinis were tasty too but on the softer, creamier end of thing. No note, can't wait to be back!

We dropped in here to get out of the rain, after seeing a show at the Schnitz. Surprisingly we got…read morea table - it was walk in and seat yourself. Then the place got super packed, and I realized they seated people in the hotel lobby as well. High ceilings, dark wood, huge bar, great service (especially considering how busy they were). Our server was in a hurry, big time, and still took time to answer questions. We ordered some drinks and some buffalo cauliflower. The menu is primary carnivore, but there ARE some veg options - which is always nice to see in Portland.

It's basically the Silver Cloud hotel restaurant, tucked off to the side of the lobby, but even though it's small it's laid out well enough that you don't feel that way. My chipper waitress was instantly welcoming, hooking me up with water and vino pronto, and those garlic fries were perfectly thin and crispy and hella garlicky- just the way I like em. I'll have to come vs k and try their real food and happy hour menu, which looks legit.

The dining room feels cozy without being cramped, with friendly servers who are knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations. The dishes we tried were flavorful and clearly made with care -- fresh ingredients, thoughtful seasoning, and nice attention to presentation. Portions are generous enough to share, so it's a good spot for a casual dinner with friends or a low-key date night. Cocktails options were well balanced and plenty of Tequila on the menu. A few small things kept this from being a five-star experience: service can slow a bit when the room is not busy. Overall, Carlita's is a solid, friendly restaurant with reliably good food and a comfortable vibe. I'd go back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience in Portland.

I would definitely stop in again after events nearby at Keller.

Loyal Legion is that kind of place, with the sort of dark, woody vibe that screams legacy, but without the pretension or airs. The tap list is long, deep and well-curated with mostly local taps, and their whisky wall is very well stocked indeed. Cocktail program is robust, the menu is a hearty mix of drinking food (brats and pretzels) and pub grub (burgers and fries) with sandos and salads thrown in for balance. If you're a beer snob, there's no better place IMO. Street parking can be a bit sketch though.

If you're into discovering great local beers and ciders, this place is a dream -- there's always something new and exciting to try. The food is just as impressive. Everything I've had has been fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you're stopping in for a casual drink, a full meal, or meeting friends, Loyal Legion delivers every time. It's the kind of place that feels both elevated and approachable -- perfect for date nights, gatherings, or just treating yourself after a long day. Can't recommend it enough.
