JamisonFantastic!Although social media sites have not been overly kind to Jamison, I was concerned about my first experience. Now, I'm looking forward to trying dinner after a dynamite brunch. Great food. Good service. Beautiful decor. Huge patio. I'll be back and I recommend anyone giving it a shot!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMhappily surprised.I wasn't so sure about visiting Jamison, after all, how could it fill the shoes of the previous 5-star tenant, Fenuille? I was hapilly surprised at the variety of the food menu, and the chill ambience of the restaurant. Very Portland. I will always get a tuna tartare if it's on the menu, and this one was DELICIOUS.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMFood is generally good withFood is generally good with moderate portion. Outdoor dining is great.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMLovely spaceLovely restaurant space located right next to the Jamison Park fountain. Food is great and although the service was slow the last time I was there the server explained they had had some staffing issues that day. Definitely going to go back.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazingGreat! We had a splendid time and it was so much fun. Loved the food and service. Couldn't be happier.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMOur server was excellent andOur server was excellent and accommodating--even moving us from a lovely patio table to an indoor table (when the wind picked up). The menu was excellent and the food very tasty.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was our first time at JamisonIt was our first time at Jamison and chose it because of the convenience of making a reservation through Open Table. We were a party of 7 and were seated at a round table in the middle of the restaurant. Although it was a busy Friday night with much hustle and bustle, the positioning of the table made us feel like we had our own space while still enjoying all that was going on around us. The small plate options, in addition to traditional servings, provide great choices for our group.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMI've had lunch or brunch severalI've had lunch or brunch several times so can't comment on dinner service but I suspect that to be excellent as well.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMVery nice establishmentLove the decor- lots of windows and light and a mix of metal, stone, and wood throughout. Several dual-sided fireplaces made it cozy with beautiful view onto Jamison Fountain. This would be great for summer dining. Read mixed reviews on service, food, & prices, but found service more than adequate & prices were average. Enjoyed the ahi tartare- a VERY ample (almost seemed like a double!) serving, and very good. We also shared calamari (not your standard fried fare), mixed green salad, halibut, and short ribs over polenta. All in my party agreed everything was very good. Sausage flatbread could have used a bit more seasoning. Had a great bottle of local Pinot Noir for only $40! Overall very good & we will be back!4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMI don't know why this placeI don't know why this place isn't always packed - great food, great atmosphere, and friendly service.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMExceeded Expectations!A great find. This was my first visit since this great spot was reinvented as Jamison. Wasn't sure what to expect. My expectations were exceeded on every front. Incredible food, excellent service and great drinks. The entire space has been transformed. Gone is the French Country and in with the High-end Urban. Looking forward to many returns, particularly on warm weather days to enjoy the great patio overlooking Jamison Square.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMVery nice ambiance and excellentVery nice ambiance and excellent food and service.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMSince it was our first visitSince it was our first visit to Jamison, we opted for a selection of small plates to share. Everything was delicious and well prepared, and the service was very good. Relatively small but impressive wine list. We'll definitely be back!3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent ExperienceThis place is wonderful. From the fantastic cocktails to the absolutely amazing service, we had an A+ experience at the Jamison. It was a cold day and the staff made a point to seat us right next to the fire. We got great assistance choosing our delicious cocktails and excellent small plates. By avoiding entrees, the cost of a filling and lovely meal was just right. Don't skip the terrine of scalloped potatoes - oh my gosh! We'll be back because the atmosphere, staff, drinks, food and location are perfect.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMTried the tasting menu, whichTried the tasting menu, which was a steal at a cost of $50 per person. The food was fantastic from the first course to the last. The only bad part was we were too full by the time dessert showed up, but the Beet semi-freddo was worth it. The overall favorite of the evening was by far the starter course, Leek cream soup with Duck confit. It definitely started the culinary evening on a high note, and we did not leave disappointed. All that paired with fabulous cocktails, like the Black Manhattan, and a great wine list. The restaurant with its reclaimed wood beams and fireplace, create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended for intimate occasions as well as a small group.3/8/2013 12:00:00 AM
