Diner Reviews

"After standing at the doorway for 10 minutes waiting for the hostess to return, we were escorted to a dirty table and told to wait by it while they cleaned it.The waitress didn't appear for 10 minutes and then it was another 10 before she returned with coffee or to take our order. In an hours time I was poured 1.5 cups of coffee and didn't get a water refill.My food was cold; my husbands was warm. The corned beef was good but the eggs were cold and potatoes were so overcooked they were rubbery.My husband had an oyster omelette-marginal at best.I If am paying top dollar for food, I expect top notch service. Will never go back here again."

"we've frequented Gracies on a number of occasions and are never disappointed. Food is always expertly prepared and the service is very prompt, friendly, and professional."

"An oasis of food sanity amidst Portland's crazy food scene. Great food and service. Elegant room. Reasonable prices."

"Took a dear friend to lunch to celebrate her birthday. The ambiance and food selection was perfection. Service was very good. It was, as usual, a quiet and elegant way to connect with one another. Am very happy we chose this spot even though it's a long drive from the Gorge. We will be back..."

"I am hesitant to write about this restaurant because I believe it is a hidden gem. We had dinner on Tuesday we took a friend from out of town she loved it. My husband's birthday is next Wednesday and he wants to go back. He hates to drive downtown, but believes Gracie's is worth the trip from Oregon City. There are lots of fine restaurants in Portland. Along with the great food there is usually lots of noise a feeling of being rushed. Gracie's is so different. It has great food in a beautiful comfortable setting. The music was from long ago and at just the right sound level. You could enjoy Frank Sinatra while still conversing with your friends. Everything we ordered was perfect. I now have a favorite restaurant in Portland."

"Located inside the deLuxe hotel, with complimentary, 2hr. valet parking, Gracie's was an actual hidden gem. It has a 1920's, Hollywood vibe and our server Scott was great. Definitely try the wild mushrooms, and if you like fish, the trout and halibut were both tasty. We also had the sweet pea ravioli, which was a delicious, fresh take on a traditional dish. Yum."

"2nd visit in a week. This place has interesting selections and everything is tasty and the prices are reasonable."

"Gracie's is fantastic for ambiance and drinks but the food offerings were sadly bit of a let down. Portions were not substantial and the food itself was tasty but nothing compared to some of the other local Portland offerings. The one exception was the delicious chocolate cake for dessert. While the dinner was a nice quiet get away for a double date I am not sure I will be visiting again if in the area."

"Because we spend so much time at Artists Rep around the corner, we stop here for lunches and dinners frequently. This was one of those times between shows in the building. There are many theater companies who now use the Artists Rep facility so there are more opportunities to stop by DeLuxe. The service is always first rate and the food is excellent. This was true this time and we will be back again."

"A very nice and quit upscale dinner restaurant in Portland."

"The service was knowledgeable and prompt. The food absolutely exceeded my expectations. I will be back often. I have already recommended to just about everyone I saw this weekend."

"We especially love dining at Gracie's with friends because we can actually have a conversation and hear each other. It is refreshing not to have music blaring. The food has greatly improved over the last year. We like the choices in sizes and all of our dinners were excellent with the exception of the mango & greens salad. Greens were wilted, 2 tiny slices of mango had little flavor and blah dressing. My husband had the wedge and loved it. My crab cakes were delicious. Very relaxing with an efficient and pleasant wait staff."

"Great food, beautiful surroundings. Classy spot for a girls' brunch."

"Gracie's is literally around the block from Artists' Repertory Theatre, one of Portland's top venues. They have nice wines, specialty cocktails, and a balance of small plates and more substantial fare. Service is attentive and attuned to playgoing customers. One of our party had a special request (sulfite allergy, no vinegar or wine-based sauces) which was handled with no drama. Altogether, quite a pleasant way to start a night on the town."

"We shared 4 smallish plates for dinner which added up to a unique and tasty meal. I wish all restaurants had portion size options like Gracie's. Really great"

"Gracie's, nestled in the DeLuxe Hotel in north Goose Hollow, is a real find. It never feels crowded, and the atmosphere is intimate. Out wait staff was cordial but not overly familiar, professional but not aloof, subtle but not inattentive. The food was meticulously prepared and delicious. We had two entrees and had room to share one of their less substantial "modest" dishes as well. They have a nicely varied wine list, and the staff is both knowledgeable and helpful. Their dessert menu is extensive, and the deluxe Spanish Coffee is not to be missed. They also feature valet parking, a great help if there is both bad weather and a Timber's game. All this, and reasonably priced, too. This place is on our "will come back" list."

"I saw the waiter 2 times 1)when order and 2)he give me the bill. No service, Just give you the food and the bill."

"The food is excellent, the service is fantastic, they work with people that have food allergies - even have a special menu for you. Great ambiance. Not pushy at all. Very fun."

"My wife, Judith, died four-and-one-half years ago. We were frequent visitors to The Drifside. Also, I attend some of the Portland Public Schools Administrators luncheons. From time-to-time I come alone or with a guest not olly to the bar, but also, to "Gracie's The food in both the bar and Gracie's is alwas delicious. You will see me again soon! I hope to convince others to enjoy your offerings,too! Your venue has special during the last thirty-five-years at "The Mallory"and its successor "The Deluxe Hotel""

"This high-end restaurant (high-end in all senses) is very reasonably priced, with wines at what appears to be a much lower mark-up than elsewhere. I was there with a group of 8, and the total bill came to only $40 per person, wine included. Unlike almost all PDX high-end restaurants, at Gracie's you can actually have a conversation. Very strongly recommended."

"In addition to great food and wine and service. They take care of you when you need to get to the theater or Thorns game on time! Very prompt service!"

"This was our second annual birthday celebration for my elderly mother. The atmosphere is 'Garbo' classic and takes you to a time bygone. The coffee was excellent and plentiful. With the first entree, German Pancake, the batter was way too thin and brittle without much flavor. The smoked salmon with bagel, cream cheese, capers, onion and tomato was excellent. A lot of salmon left over for a doggie bag, making the price reasonable. Finally, the mushroom/spinach eggs benedict was excellent, but the potatoes were limp and not good. So, all in all I'd say the food was hit and miss this time, but service was good and the ambiance was delightful. By the time we left it was completely full and the noise level was getting very loud."

"We dropped by here on the way to the opera. We had been to Gracie's for breakfast and lunch, but this was our first time for dinner. the entrees were unique, substantial, and tasty. Tarah, our server was perfect"

"I took my mother and daughter to Gracie's because it was one of the places my mom used to eat at when she worked nearby 60 years ago when it was The Mallory Hotel. The Driftwood room was exactly as she remembered it. If there is a hospital get together, she would love to be invited, she is 77 years old. Food was great! Top of the price range, but worth the price for the special mothers day menu. We were seated near the windows in the back of the room, it was warm and inviting, and the service was great."

"Our first time here was Mother's Day dinner. The dining room has old time elegance, the piano playing was soothing, service was absolutely top notch and the food was excellent. From the appetizer to the main to the dessert ... absolutely wonderful. And the portions were good sized, too. We made a second meal out of the leftovers. Mom was quite pleased about a great meal Sunday and not cooking Monday, too! The waiter said they have Elvis pancakes on the brunch menu ... might just have to check that out."

"Gorgeous restaurant, has an elegant Hollywood glam feel. Had a lovely Mother's Day brunch. Food was excellent, impressed with the gluten free options. Prices were very reasonable. "

"We just love Gracies, and this was no exception. And this Mother's Day brunch was great. Possibly they could have skipped the live piano full grand piano in the dining room (it was a bit hard to talk over it), but we enjoyed ourselves greatly, had great food, and it was Mom's first choice so that was terrific. Thank you Gracies !"

"Wee usually go to this restaurant about one to two times every year. Most recently, we attended and found the restaurant busy but with available seating . One of the flaws with the restaurant is the cold air that bristles if you are seated near the entrance. There were many empty seats in the restaurant and we attempted to procure one of them. Our host, Jenteal,would not allow us to sit anywhere other than right there at the front entrance because we were a party of two.it was very difficult to enjoy our meal due to the amount of cold air . When we inquired about the other open seats, we were told that they were for parties of 4. However, no parties of four were ever seated at those tables. The food was okay, the atmosphere was not."

"Ate here for Mother's Day brunch (but ate off the normal brunch menu, not the special buffet). Great ambience, had a piano player and an elegant charm. Would definitely go back for brunch anyday. "

"Food so well prepared that every bite is a transcendant experience! I had trout almondine with brocollini, and what is so often a very dull tasting fish was full of flavor (without being so seasoned that it overpowered the trout). The Caesar salad came with a dressing to die for. And the prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food."
Dined on 4/27/2014
"Gracie's food prices are at the top of the range. The 18.00 omelette and potatoes were cold. Food had obviously been pre-cooked rather than cooked to order."

"Was there with family for brunch. It was great, the ambience was still very much like the old Mallory Hotel, but with many subtle changes. Went back for dinner last night, and the had the Flatbread, ever so good."

"This place needs a furniture makeover! Get rid of those ridiculous booths, what is with those anyway! Get some nice tables, change the lighting and get the service content right! The only thing that saves this place is the hotel, bar and food. Could be AWESOME if someone worked at it."

"From a great table by a window, to being treated as honored guests from the moment we were seated, our server Jeff added to the charming experience. Traditional Eggs Benedict was yummy. Gracie's is a wonderful treat to start the day."
