The staff were pretty friendly, joked about giving us an empty drinks menu folder. The Nines Hotel surrounds the restaurant, it's a pleasant area on the 8th floor. It felt cheap to be surrounded by plastic plants - the price of the meal should be enough to get some real plants. The food was tasty, best tenderloin steak I've ever had. One big tip - the main steaks do not come with sides. If you order a steak by default it will be just one piece of meet on your plate. Make sure you get some sides too! read more

Modern restaurant and well lit with only light coming in from top of hotel. Uniquely designed and decorated hotel with plenty of space / seating. Restaurant is located inside of The Nines Hotel. Service was great and bartenders were very helpful in getting us our drinks and explaining the restaurants hours of operation for dining. You can come before 5pm and get served at the bar but you cannot sit in the main dining area or order food until 5pm. This restaurant fell short of my groups expectations as the actual space did not match the vibe or aesthetic shown online. Something just felt off, but food and drinks were good and the bartenders service was great! read more

This restaurant is hidden on the 9th floor of a hotel...in the center of large space...with a roof skylight high above 4 floors of hotel windows & balconies looking down on you. You will definitely have plenty to talk about looking around. It is aiming to be gourmet food, but the execution does not quite match. The service is also not quite top tier. I had the blackened chicken sandwich with a side harvest salad. It was decent, but I've had better tasting and better looking plates at dive bars. The deviled eggs were okay, but the shrimp are not recommended. Focaccia was my favorite app. If steak is their thing, maybe try that. read more

This is the place for Saturday brunch. Super easy to reserve on open table and not very busy. Located in the nines hotel, super cute chic area and really awesome lounge area to hang out. The restaurant is enclosed on the side and it's not loud with natural skylight and rooms that overlook the area. Really yummy food and the service was great. read more

Stopped in for a light meal and a cocktail the other day. Sat at the bar and ordered some food and cocktails. Both bartenders were friendly even though they were very busy. Cocktails and food came out in a timely manner. Comfortable seats at the bar and not too noisy even though there were several tables near us. I tried the "Mechanical Animal" and the "Wake Me Up Before you Go Go" cocktails. Both enjoyable, though the first may not be for everyone, as the bartender warned me. Caesar Salad with Shrimp. Everyone else had burgers and enjoyed them. read more

The restaurant is inside a hotel and it had a nice atmosphere. The cocktails are superb. Service was great. Timing was very off. I had the chilled shrimp as an appetizer, delicious. But it took forever for my entree and by the time it was ready, I was ready to go home. So I hit it boxed up, they comped my drinks, which was fantastic. Got home, my steak was perfect. Overall, great place, will try again! read more

Been here before a few years ago for some drinks. Really like the atmosphere, music and relaxed vibe of the place and service. The food is also very delicious. Went here today for the Easter brunch they are providing. Tried a little bit of everything, but the steak was so tender and flavorful. Everything was good though. Went great with coffee. The desserts were also hard to choose, but went with the little mousse and cheesecake shot glasses. The tropical mousse was refreshing indeed too. read more

This was our last stop before heading to the airport and I could not be happier with our choice of visiting Urban Farmer. We stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon for drinks, and I only wish we had more time for Happy Hour oysters. My heart broke knowing we were so close, but we had to be responsible and catch a flight. Service is friendly and fast. I like that the bartender left us to our own, so we can soak in the atmosphere. It's beautiful inside with a lot of natural light and open space. It can get a little warm with the sun shining, but it was very enjoyable nonetheless. I would come back again for more drinks and HH! read more

We had a very good experience here for lunch. The service was good and we sat on these incredible couch chairs. The food came out fast and fresh. Not the best fries we've ever had, but the beet salad was exceptionally good. read more

Excellent breakfast and an easy standout during my stay. The crispy sourdough was perfect, the eggs were cooked beautifully, and the jam was fantastic. The real star of the meal was the chicken sausage, honestly one of the most delicious things I've eaten in a long time, and I could've finished an entire plate without thinking twice. The yogurt parfait was also very good, though quite sweet with the purée, fruit, and honey all together. Next time I'd ask for the honey on the side just to control the sweetness a bit. Great service and friendly people. Good ambiance. Appropriate volume (not too noisy). Overall, a fantastic breakfast spot and well worth it. read more

I can't recommend this place enough! I had the pleasure of dining here for both breakfast and dinner, and meeting so many of the wonderful staff. Special shoutout to Raymond, Jake, Tanner, Tom, and countless others who made our visits so memorable. For breakfast, I tried the avocado toast with bacon and the açaí bowl. The avocado toast was a perfect balance of flavors and textures, and very filling. The açaí bowl was excellent as well; it was already sweet enough on its own, so next time I'd skip the honey. For dinner, I ordered the pork chop on Raymond's glowing recommendation, and it did not disappoint. The portion was generous, and the stone fruit with pickled mustard seeds elevated the flavor beautifully. We also enjoyed the tender greens salad as a starter, and for sides, the mac & cheese and Yukon gold potato purée were both outstanding. Dessert is where Urban Farmer truly shines. I can't recommend the butterscotch sundae enough; I had it twice during my stay and it was absolute perfection, with just the right mix of textures and a generous portion. The brûlée is also excellent with its perfectly torched surface. And of course, I have to mention the cornbread with whipped butter at dinner; it's hands-down the best I've ever had! Many thanks to the Urban Farmer team for such a wonderful dining experience. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

Good - server was really nice although a bit slow The free corn bread and butter was 5/5! Bad - the food was just okay. We had the harvest salad and added chicken. Chicken was dry. Salad was small and overdressed. Also had the coulette (steak). Steak was a little tough, potatoes on the side weren't even crispy. Also had the asparagus potato soup-- I thought the pickled mushrooms were good. read more

The calamari was meh, the cacio e pepe was mediocre and the deviled eggs were good. This was a business lunch so I failed to take pictures. Service was slow because it was a group of 9 so that's understandable and they get a pass. It's located on the 8th floor for the hotel and there are no windows in the restaurant. Parking garage was 2 blocks away or there is street parking avail or hotel valet. read more

We celebrated our anniversary dinner last night, our table was decorated with flowers and card from the staff. We were greeted by Katrina, she is very nice, professional and polite.

Thank you Katrina for your excellent service. read more

I've been wanting to go here for years and finally got the opportunity to do so for a work event that I organized. And I'm happy to say that I was pleased with the experience, from booking our private dining event to actually getting to dine in the restaurant where we received delicious food and exceptional service. I'd highly recommend Urban Farmer for a group/private dining experience. Our group (party of 15) reserved The Pantry which is nicely tucked away but located near the restrooms (very convenient) and it provided privacy and ample space for a cocktail reception within the space prior to getting seated for dinner. We had drinks and appetizers for about an hour prior to sitting down for dinner service where guests were able to choose from 2 starters and 3 mains, with side dishes served family style. My favorite item had to be the cornbread and butter served to start, which I failed to get a picture of, but the cornbread looked like mini Bundt cakes - super cute! For dinner I opted for the salmon and we had mashed potatoes and mushrooms for our sides, all of it was cooked perfectly and tasted great. Service was outstanding, very attentive, and super kind. Thanks for a great experience! read more

We ate here for one dinner and two breakfasts. We enjoyed very good service at each meal. Prices are a bit inflated, but not as bad as I anticipated given the hotel location. We found the dinner menu to be a bit limited, while the breakfast menu had a lot more options to our liking. Drip coffee from Stumptown was very good, while the lattes were so-so. I was a bit disappointed that the dinner wine-by-the-glass selections were so limited, plus the fact that their website touted a very nice Cab (at a very steep price) that had been substituted for a lesser Cab on the restaurant menu. The restaurant is situated on the 8th floor in the interior of the building, open all the way to the roof 7 floors above, so it feels very airy and open, despite the tables being a bit close together in places. read more

Lunch 2 stars Brunch and Dinner 4-5 stars Don't come here for lunch. Boy do they phone it in. The calamari is hideous. I don't know how it's still on the menu. The breading is chalky, thick, pasty and crumbly. Definitely the worst thing I've ever had there. The butternut soup Is bland and tasteless. The time I came here for dinner and brunch was great so I'm so confused! read more

Urban Farmer - I kept eating the calamari waiting for it to get better until I couldn't take it anymore now I feel slightly sick - Steakhouses Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Our experience at this restaurant was really disappointing, starting with the service. Even though we had a reservation, we were made to wait an extra 30 minutes past our scheduled time. Instead of seating us right away, they had us wait at the bar even longer, and we didn't get to our table until around 10 PM. The hostess was unprofessional. She was rude, rolled her eyes at us, and didn't handle the situation well when we asked about the delay. Still, we were excited about our three-course meal. For the first course, we ordered oysters and a cheese plate. The oysters were tasty with a nice seasoning, but the blue cheese was overly salty. For our mains, we got the halibut and the chicken. As soon as we took a bite of the fish, we knew something was off. It had a fermented, almost rancid taste, though the sauce was good. The chicken was another letdown. It was supposed to be a young hen, so it should have been tender, but it was dry. Even worse, one of the pieces looked like someone had already taken a bite out of it. The sauce tasted like a standard BBQ sauce: sweet, salty, and acidic, nothing special. For dessert, we ordered the lava cake and butterscotch sundae. The sundae was fine, but the lava cake was a disaster. It was spongy, and the chocolate was oddly salty and bitter. Honestly, Domino's lava cake is better than this. I really wanted to love this place, especially since they use locally sourced ingredients, but for the price, the quality and service just didn't match up. The best part of the meal was the complimentary cornbread and the orange juice. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back and I really hope we don't get sick from the fish. *Update: we did get sick three hours later and we are going to escalate this issue.* read more

Went here on a Friday night. Service was a little slow but may have been impacted by a private party. We ordered the pork chops, beet salad, Brussels sprouts, and potato tart. Everything f was solid. The beet salad was amazing. Was a little disappointed in Brussels sprouts--not crispy enough and a little soggy. Ambiance was great. Cozy and intimate. read more

The steaks are pretty good, but not the best I've ever had or even close to the best. I think that's to be expected from a hotel restaurant though. I would actually rate the steaks 4 stars, but the sides are so bad. Maybe I chose poor options, but the mashed potatoes and the asparagus were hard to eat because they were so bad. The asparagus was cold and lacked any flavor. The potatoes were also very bland and just a sad dish. I will say the cornbread offered at the beginning of the meal was good. And the bone marrow that we ordered as an appetizer was just okay. Overall it was a mediocre dinner and not quite worth the price it costs to eat here. read more

Plenty of indoor seating with a bar, tables, and high tops. Relaxed atmosphere with lots of space. The servers were helpful and friendly, and the food came out super quick. The eggs and fruit tasted fresh and my mom loved her pancakes. The chicken cherry sausage was unique. I loved the taste but the texture was a little dry for me. Overall, this was great for a quick and easy hotel breakfast. We enjoyed our food and coffee and would come back to try their lunch or dinner. read more

Quick recap: - Food: Tasty - Portion size: Small to average - Service: Very slow - Environment: Upscale (restaurant of a nice hotel) - $: High - Perks: N/A More details: Have eaten at Urban Farmer multiple times now. The reason I am giving a 3* and not a 4* is that every single experience has been incredibly slow. Salads are on the smaller side, but meat is decently sized. Their sourdough bread is really good. Salads were fresh and tasty, and staff was nice. Prices are a bit high, not too bad. Perks: N/A Overall? Good, albeit slow read more

Urban Farmer on the eighth floor is a nice spot and a huge convenience if you're staying at The Nines. As a steakhouse it met my expectations -- aged prime steaks and prices that are higher than a typical hotel restaurant but fair for the quality. We enjoyed the beer menu and the wide variety they had on tap. We dined late toward closing; the staff were attentive and professional. It didn't bother us that we sat next to other guests, but it felt unnecessarily crowded -- we were paired into a shared booth while there were about 20 open tables. Overall a solid meal and a convenient choice for hotel visitors. read more

Brunch on a Sunday, sure. Lets go to Urban Farmers, why not. Even though I've been to The Nines and Departure, this was the first time I've dined here. It's located on the 8th floor and on other side of the eclectically decorated sitting area. Hey...art is in the eye of the beholder and there's something for everyone. The vibe here was more chillax than other places during weekend brunch but was welcomed as it served as a great backdrop for a few gf's getting together to catch up. We couldn't decide on which Benedict to get so we got all 3 options to do buffet style. The star of the meal however was their twist on Steak&Eggs...that gravy tho. Y'all and that French Toast w that ooh wee gooey goodness straight look like it's smiling at ya :D Did I mention the Q and delish dranks?! All the staff we encountered def made for a great outing w the gals. Restrooms are also nearby so you don't have to go searching all over the hotel for it. "I'll be back"-Terminator read more

The drinks were solid and definitely a highlight. What threw us off a bit was the layout? It wasn't clear what areas were for the bar, the restaurant, or just open space. There also seemed to be another lounge or cigar bar tucked in, which made it a little confusing to figure out where we should go. Once we settled in, though, it was still a nice spot to enjoy a drink. read more

I hate giving a low review but I have never really enjoyed Urban Farmer, I hovered on a 3 but I think a 3.5 would really describe it for me, I gave it a 4 because it's local and I'm a softie. I have been here a few times over the years and I have never felt like "wow, that was a great meal". I got the smoked sirloin eggs benny this time and the description didn't mention sides but I thought like come on no one serves benny's without sides. It had no sides. It was filling, so it probably didn't need them I'll give them that, but even a slice or two of orange would've added a lot. I don't recall it being particularly bad or good but I do recall thinking that red garnish stuff didn't go with the dish overall at all. The service was fine, our server was very nice, but the kitchen was super slow and they didn't have our table right away even though we had reservations and it wasn't very crowded. The thing that really saves it for me here is that I love the 9's and the architecture and that its in this super cool interior atrium. I have always enjoyed the atmosphere and amazing lighting here if nothing else. read more

Food was decent, but very expensive. Definitely inflated. The service was great when they are at the table but very difficult to get when theyre not. For a $300 meal, the under side of the table should not be sticky, nor should there be tissues all over the floor of the bathroom. Sadly wouldn't recommend. read more

Urban Farmer sets the stage for a farm-to-table experience with a touch of elegance, and overall, it delivered--though with a few surprises along the way. Started with the beef tartare, which lives up to its reputation--silky, fresh, and beautifully presented. But let's be honest, someone in the kitchen forgot the salt. Thankfully, the horseradish swooped in like a culinary superhero, bringing just enough bite to save the dish from blandness. The egg yolk added a gorgeous richness, binding everything together into a velvety, indulgent bite. Then came the duck, ordered medium and paired with apple purée and sweet potato chips. First off--fantastic flavor. The sweetness of the apple, the crisp of the chips, and the rich duck made for a well-balanced bite. But execution? A little inconsistent. One piece hit that perfect medium temp, while the other leaned into medium-well territory--still tasty but a bit chewier than desired. Oddly, the server never checked if the duck was cooked to temp, which felt like a small but noticeable miss. The sourdough was a star in its own right--charred and delicious, proving once again that a good piece of bread can elevate any meal. Drinks were a mixed bag. The rosé leaned too acidic, almost sharp on the palate, but the Concorde spirit-free cocktail? A total winner. Smooth, balanced, and an ideal companion to the duck. Service was generally good, and the ambiance and music made for a memorable experience--warm lighting, a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, and just the right amount of background buzz to make it feel special. Looking forward to visiting again--hopefully next time, the tartare finds its salt, and the duck keeps its temp! read more

Really bummed. Went there for lunch at 12:45, and it was a light weekday crowd. The food was fantastic- the Reuben is incredible, you gotta try it- but we finished and had our napkins on the table for 10-15 minutes before anyone noticed we were done. Three of the table members had their plates cleaned, and I'd only eaten half of my own plate so I assumed I'd be getting a to-go box. The check came and the server turned too quickly for me to request a box, and my half sandwich was still the only thing on the table. After several minutes in a dining room that was clearing out, we guessed we were supposed to go to the bar to pay our bill? So we left the table and waited a few minutes for the server to pour a beer, paid, and left with my leftovers still on the table. Food was fantastic, but I think you need more staff if we couldn't get a to-go box or pay our bill. read more

This place seems to always disappoint. Beautiful ambience, renowned food sourcing and looks like a tasty menu. The food is actually good and good value when it arrives ( ( expect a long wait ) and if they don't mix up your orders. Or waitress was great but can't figure out why the didn't get orders right and bring the wrong order to the wrong table, patience is required to eat here.

Came back for a big family dinner the night before Thanksgiving. The waitstaff doted on us and made a great dining experience all the better. Shoutout to Ann-Dee (or Andy?), our main server. I noticed and applauded the little things our waitress did, like taking the time to offer tasters of wine before making a selection, taking note that my husband and I were splitting a salad and then doing it for us in the back, and also getting several workers to serve a large order of food so we all got it at the same time. I loved my 6oz filet with the Dungeness crab Oscar add-on. The chocolate gelato was also a hit. However, if I had to nitpick, I'd say the steak needed salt (again) and the creme brûlée was a touch runny. My husband also mentioned to me that his black cod entree was a bit too fishy tasting. Perhaps he got a bloodline piece? Nonetheless I love Urban Farmer and will continue to book reservations here for celebratory dinners. read more

Kendall, Our server was fantastic . Food was decent, but they definitely overcharge . --- Disclaimer I have no problem paying top dollar for good portions and good food. I am a huge foodie lol. Orange Juice / Cold Press was $17 Steak and eggs was $30 Avocado toast was $19 Plus the 4% energy charge. ----- The steak was decent, but as you can tell very small . I asked for over easy eggs, so can't complain about the runny. Whatever that liquid yellow looking substance was it looks pretty good . The red potato hash and the broccolini was also great.. Avocado toast is avocado toast . Bill came out to $70ish. What really made this enjoyable was the service . She saved the day because they were shitty service with this high of a bill.
