   Iconic Portland favorite, still relevant and amazing. I haven't been in over 5 years and happy to say it's still one of the best restaurants downtown.

   This is my go to pre-show spot. The service is on point and the food is always lovely.

   Somewhat disappointing experience. The menu didn't have a lot of diversity. What it did have was mostly ok, but nothing mind blowing. We had a group of 5. One couple shared the ribeye special: overpriced, undercooked, somewhat bland, but generally just disappointing. One couple shared the pork which was over cooked and rubbery, though the flavors were good. And lastly the filet minon which was the only great thing at the table. Well cooked, well flavored, and well balanced. The potatoes side was delightful as well. All in all, rather disappointing for nearly $600.

   The steak special (filet) was tough, overcooked, and way over seasoned. Service was spotty and the noise level was very high. I had read about the history of this restaurant but they are clearly resting on their past laurels. I wish we’d found a more modern restaurant and menu.

   Ambiance is good. Our service staff was not eagerly accommodating on side food exchanges as what we requested, and when the meal was served to his suggestion, the side dish was not what we liked. The pretzel dessert was not good - skip it. The duck entree and seafood stew entrees were good. Overall, I doubt we would go back but did enjoy the non traditional preparation of the dishes.

   We celebrated a family Birthday and Mother’s Day and the staff took great care of us. All of our entrees were delicious and the chocolate carmel tarts were amazing.

   Everything was super salty. Not a preference issue, it was as if two people in the kitchen were salting dishes without knowing it. I sent my salmon back and they sent a new one that had no seasoning so it was odd. Too bad too. Higgins used to be so good.
