Wilfs uses only the freshest ingredients from our Northwest area, organic and hormone-free whenever possible, and can provide vegan and vegetarian options as well. Wilfs is proud to be a "sustainable" company of the Northwest.
Entertainment: Jazz notes from the piano drift through the dining room as the gracious waitstaff care for our guests. Wilfs has the proud reputation as one the best spots to hear Portland's jazz artists perform, and if you are lucky, national artists may "sit-in" or be relaxing to the music, just like you! Entertainment is nightly Wednesday through Saturday. Check our website for our current entertainment calendar. www.wilfsrestaurant.com

A word from Wilf's Restaurant & Bar

Located in the 1898 renovated Union Station, just minutes from the Pearl and downtown Portland. Our cozy red wing back chairs provide guests with an intimate escape from the world. 'Mad Men' atmopshere best describes the lounge and it's modern take on classic cocktails, while listening to the best… jazz, performed up-close and personal. Chef Deb Serkoian and expert staff prepare local and regional dishes with a modern twist. Award winning caesar salad, Steak Diane, fresh local seafood, wide selection of appetizers and a great burger or reuben, as well. Parties and events for 2 to 2000, call Candace to begin your planning, just a few questions away from creating what you need...lunch, dinner, receptions and more. Opentable reservations are for the 'dining room' only, and for 'dinner menu' only. Reservations for our 'lounge' area are not accepted through Opentable, there is an additional cover charge for music Wednesday through Saturday. Thank you for your consideration of this policy.Continued

"It's hard to separate the music from the place and food. The music was so outstanding the night we attended, everything seemed rosy. The food was good, though the portion seemed small relative to the price. The waiters were attentive, though missed a simple request for water. But all-in-all we had a wonderful time listening to great music. The sound system seemed balanced, the view of the quartet was good, the audience seemed focused and receptive, so we couldn't have asked for more!"

"we went to here the jazz trio, which was simply the BEST! The Wilf's staff was exceptional, and the food was just right. The setting is pure oldtown Portland, which we loved. Highly recommended!"

"We came to celebrate my 30th birthday. I wanted to do something different than the normal bar we would usually go to. The food was good but a tad over priced. But given the enviornment, I understand. What I didn't like was paying a tip on my cover charge since it was added to my tab and I didn't even think about it when I paid. My Cosmo's were nice and the music was GREAT!! Parking was free. Overall; we had a great evening, I would totally recommend and will also return. Thanks for the opportunity to share my experience. -MJ"

"If you have nothing better to do at the train station and have money burning a hole in your pocket..go ahead and eat here..it won't kill ya..The drinks are good, they have that going for them. Other than that, nothing remarkable in the slightest..and at the train station? really?"

"The pasta dish I ordered was the most flavorful one that I have ever had, with perfectly balanced amount of ingredients and flavors, and moist and tender steak bites. The salad had greens in perfect and fresh crisp condition with delicious but not overpowering dressing. The cheese cake was unique with a nice texture and lots of vanilla flavor. It was presented beautifully in caramel with little dashes of raspberry and a beard of whipped cream.
I want to try making the pasta because it had a mix of meat and olive oil and mushrooms and herbs and spinach and onions that I want again, and I live in California, dang it."

"Wilf's continues to provide classy service, ambiance and food without the fanfare of fad restaurants that come and go. It's like stepping back in time to 1950's supper club dining and the addition of live jazz is a solid perk."
