Restaurants near Portland Building

We received exceptional service and tasty food at the Urban Farmer restaurant during our stay at the Nine’s Hotel. Each morning we were met with a friendly greeting from Blair who took care of seating us. We had several servers at Urban Farmer during our stay, but our favorite was Audry. She provided us with exceptional service and she has an amazing personality to boot! Audry always went above and beyond, anticipating our needs, to ensure we enjoyed our experience. We so enjoyed seeing her and chatting with her each day. Talking with Audry was like talking with family. It was always so warm and casual. We will never forget her. Thank you Audry!! You are a gem. We also had the pleasure of meeting Poe, one of the managers at Urban Farmer. Poe was very warm and friendly, always taking a moment to come and greet us whenever he saw us at the restaurant. Poe even gave us recommendations on where to bike ride and shop in the area; he went above and beyond in his service to us. On top of having a great personality, Poe is also very stylish! Thanks again for everything Poe! We certainly look forward to having the opportunity to visit Urban Farmer again because of you and Audry.

Everyone from hostess to bus person were thoughtful, friendly approachable. All excellent qualities. Even the manager checked in to make sure all was well. One of my favorite places to go

It was my second visit to this restaurant! Loved the salad bar and the non-alcoholic cocktail!

I highly recommend The Melting Pot for a unique event with an incredible dining experience. The blackberry margarita was delicious. We had the four course menu, and neither it nor our server disappointed. For us (a retired couple on a fixed income), it was pricey, but since we were celebrating 55 years of marriage, it was worth it. And there’s a convenient parking garage a half block away. My only caveat was for the special romantic event we paid extra for. Apparently the only seating for this (we saw three other couples in the same seating area) was back by the kitchen, with waiters going back and forth and calling out to each other to avoid accidents with hot pots. It was less than conducive for a romantic celebration. Otherwise, everything was superb.

Great food and great ambiance, the waitress was very friendly and personable.
