Diner Reviews
  • "The food was great. We loved the bleu cheese in the potatoes. The spread for the bread was delicious, as well. We both thought the food complimented each other very well. We will definitely dine there again. The service was excellent. We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere."

  • "We were disappointed in the food this time. The beans with the Osso Buco were so salty we could not eat. The bacon in the bacon stuffed trout (steelhead) was non-existant."
    Dined on 3/3/2014
  • "Had one of the best steaks I've ever had here, and it's hard to find a bartender who knows how to properly make an Old Fashioned, but you definitely pay for what you get."

  • "We Love Hall Street Grill. The service is always friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. The food is fantastic. We always try something new and share between the two of us. Great wine list, great cocktails, and beautiful seasonal and local options is what keeps us coming back again and again."

  • "Risotto not good; potatoes almost cold. Not running back."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "The food was delicious but it was a bit spendy for the portions. After eating an appetizer, soup, main dish, and dessert I was still hungry."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "The oven bricked chicken is so good! We did notice, however, that our portions were bigger this time around, even though I ordered exactly the same meal - right down to the same hazelnut brown butter cake for dessert and the exact same blue cheese salad. Last time, we had the Living Social special. I'm disappointed to see that Hall Street decreased portions for that offer. It seems deceptive and I expected better from this restaurant. I would not have known if I hadn't returned for exactly the same meal at regular price on Saturday evening. That bothers me. Please bring back the Calamari and Friends appetizer. We wanted to order it on Saturday and were told it was no longer available. Habanero Pineapple Margarita was excellent!"

  • "One of best fillet's I've ever had. Attentive service, but not intrusive. Little on the expensive side for portion/value."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "I took my wife to Hallstreet Grill for our anniversary and we were both in dining heaven. Fabulous and attentive service. Our server was wonderful, he didn't hover but he knew exactly when to come to the table. The food was superb, five stars. The atmosphere was perfect for a romantic dinner. Highly recommended"

  • "In the handful of times the wife and I have gone, we've always been Impressed. For Valentine's Day they had a great menu and the cupids arrow drink was a nice touch."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "My wife and I wanted a nice romantic dinner Valentine's Day. I made the reservations a couple of weeks before. They called 2 days before Valentines just to confirm the reservation and to say they looked forward to helping us make this a memorable night. They did not disappoint. Our server was very friendly, as was all they staff, and very helpful in suggesting wines that would compliment the food. My wife and I are not wine drinkers so were lost on this, which made the suggestions even more helpful and appreciated. The food was fantastic surrounded by a very pleasant atmosphere. Can't wait until next Valentines to do it again."

  • "Marvelous salmon,service and dessert. maybe a bit pricey for everyday, but great as a special dinner out."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "I have loved this place for years and my most recent experience was great. Its a little pricey sometimes, but worthy of a splurge."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Our server was fantastic. He was very Knowledgeable about the menu. He was willing to make any specific requests that we may have needed. The atmosphere was excellent. We were there for Valentine's Day so it was what I expected. My only issue was that my steak that I ordered medium came extremely rare. I didn't say anything because I wasn't sure if it due to the fact I am not accustomed to fine dinning."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Our waitress provided very prompt and charming service! We enjoyed the prime rib, as usual! This is a great special occasion place!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "The food was good but could use a bit of improvement. My fish was overcooked, although my husband's meat was perfect. It was VERY noisy and the decor could use some updating. It is showing signs of a lot of wear and tear."
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "Good food, good service. Did experience very slow food delivery on this visit."
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "This was a very pleasant dining experience. The warm atmosphere, excellent service and great food provided a wonderful "date night", though somewhat pricey."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "The food was creative and delicious. Presentation was lovely. My only complaint on the food is that the NY Strip Steak from the pre fixe menu came sliced. You should NEVER pre-cut a steak. I think they might do this to make the portion look larger, but it doesn't stay warm and dries out a bit. The portion was plenty so it wasn't necessary. On the service, our server had a very warm and friendly personality and was very knowledgeable about the menu; however, our cocktails didn't arrive until well after we finished our appetizer. We should have rec'd them first - don't know if it was his fault or the bar's fault but should be more careful to check on it."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "The price of the food keeps going up, yet there's not enough food to split. Also, the wine prices are high. That being said, the wine ($9.50) was good, as was the food. I would recommend for a special occasion, but we no longer go there for a regular week-night out."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "We enjoyed our dinner but prices were fairly high and portions were fairly small. I was surprised that an establishment with "Bar and Grill" in the name would be quite so upscale. Although it was good, we probably won't be back given the prices except for possibly a VERY special occasion."
    Dined on 1/29/2014
  • "We always have a pleasant time eating at the Hall Street Bar and Grill. The food is excellent, the wait staff considerate and well informed about the menu."

  • "Been going to Hall St. since it opened in the 80's, was a favorite hang out then. Hadn't been in over 20 years, met old friends there and it was just like old times! Thanks, Rose"
    Dined on 1/28/2014
  • "The meticulously prepared food took us by surprise. (Perhaps a life salty). Our server was well educated about the menu and was super friendly. Service was efficient. The 1/2 priced wine nights are a great idea, and we will be back for one of those again. We definitely will return soon."
    Dined on 1/27/2014
  • "We had an enjoyable night made better by the personal care and attention of the wait staff. Even when they didn't have the exact brand of liquor we asked for the bartender took the time to tell us himself and to offer alternatives. One of our party aked for a substitution with the dinner entree, and was accommodated without question."
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "Love this restaurant for so many reasons. Great friendly staff, nice roomy booths, wide variety of entrees, delicious food. Always a tough decision on what to have to eat. Can't go wrong with the Steelhead or the Hall St. Cobb Salad."
    Dined on 1/22/2014
  • "The food was very good & so was the service. It was worth the 20+ miles I had to drive to get there."
    Dined on 1/21/2014
  • "My wife and I had our anniversary dinner at Hall Street Grill. The wait staff, especially our server, was friendly and attentive. Not overbearing at all. We wanted to make a leisurely evening of it, and our server knew just when to check on us. The food was quite tasty and attractively presented. Overall, we had a very pleasant, very relaxing evening. You'll certainly pay for the experience, but we definitely recommend Hall Street Grill for a romantic twosome."
    Dined on 1/21/2014
  • "Steak was barely a mouthful and needed a good amount of extra seasoning to make it reasonable to eat. Wife's salmon was not much better, but neither dish was worthless. In all the food was average, but we expected higher quality for the prices. Appetizer, crab dip, was the best. Server was great. Wine choices were good."

  • "My husband and I, for the most part, enjoyed our meal. The restaurant was decorated for celebrating the new year and was very festive. The wait staff was attentive and was helpful in recommending the specials. We tried the special appetizer of lobster salad on crostini and was not impressed, but the main course of steelhead with roasted root vegetables was fantastic. The restaurant can get quite noisy when busy, but we ate early and enjoyed the relaxed, quiet atmosphere. Hall Street is one of our favorite places for any special occasion."

  • "I took my girlfriend out for a New Years Eve date for the first time, and we decided we wanted to go to dinner at a more upscale restaurant where we could dress up and order something special. A friend recommended me to Hall Street Grill, and we both were very impressed with their ambiance and service! We also of course loved the food, but we enjoyed the overall experience better. They'll be seeing us again!"

  • "The food was great and the service was great. We had oso bucco and a pasta dish. Both were superb/"
    Dined on 12/21/2013
  • "We return to Hall Street over and over. Why? It was once the only fine dining option on the west side. It remains a top notch experience, though several other options are available now. The food is well executed and is more than just a simple meat and potatoes grill. The wine has many great options including a 25 dollar list of great values. The service is always good. On this occasion they demonstrated how good service is done by comping out dessert when we had to wait for our reservation. Nice! That is why we will keep coming back."
    Dined on 12/20/2013
  • "I had steelhead from the grill, my husband had prime rib, and our daughter had prime rib from kids' menu. They were all excellent. Not just the meat and the fish were done perfectly, but the side dishes were interesting and delicious, as usual. Service is very friendly, the atmosphere is a perfect mixture of casual and chic. We love dining here."

  • "We just had our third outstanding meal at Hall Street Grill. The food is as good as any restaurant we have visited in Portland, and the service was just right. I don't know why they don't get more recognition in Portland Magazine, Willamett Week, etc."
