   The entrees were good besides the trout which was burnt, the sides were sub par. The lobster risotto just tasted like rice water, the lobster mashed potatoes tasted like boxed mashed potatoes with some lobster thrown in. It was very loud and the drink selection was lacking.

   The Grill room was a restaurant we will go to again. The steaks were great. The service was very very good and we liked the ambience. Only disappointing part was the wedge salad. Not the best we have had.

   Seems overpriced for the quality. Seating is tight and noisy so no real ambiance. Waiter was attentive and accurate but hard on the upsell. My salmon (no sauce chosen) was heavily salted. My husbands spinach was way over-garlicked. Good drinks, good coffee!

   Average food and average service - on the pricey end, but you don’t get the service or food you would expect for the price. Rate it a 3 as average, suggest you try other places. Also keep in mind Portland doesn’t have any good steak houses.

    Good but not great. Steak was melt in your mouth but sauce was overpowering. Plus they were out of a lot of items (for an 8pm res) which was disappointing. Calamari was very good but portion was small. Good drinks! Perfect blue cheese stuffed olives.

    Even with a couple of food delivery snafus it was a delicious and enjoyable experience with kind and helpful staff. Only wish is that the table had been a little larger.

    We had a really good beet salad and calamari. There was confusion with the rib eye we ordered, and instead of entree they brought out a really big charred rib eye. The ambiance was also weird, a lady outside next to us brought her dogs to dinner and they were barking through out dinner. Music was great, just a little loud. Our waitress was awesome!

    great steaks, limited scotch selection, a bit dark and loud. (older ears needed more assistance cutting out the background noise and seeing the menu). Great service made up for it.

    Rib eye came our Rare and not Medium. Sent back once and was chard and still underdone. Sent back again and this time I just gave up and while the center was warm by this time at least 20 min had elapsed and I could have said no. My waiter should have offered an alternative or chosen to credit. Neither happened. I enjoy all aspects of dinning. Spending +$220 should come with some measure of observation and correction. Leaving it to customers to fend is not how to retain loyalty. No manager came by the table. That should have been the waiter’s automatic response. He is a veteran member. I have now removed a favorite. Will not return. Missed opportunity.

    I thought the service was slow. We had a hard time getting servers’ attention to refill our water glasses. For dessert, the carrot cake came 5-6 minutes before the cappuccino which was a bit disappointing.

    We used to dine here quite a bit and always had great steaks and seafood and salads. Unfortunately this week we experienced Undercooked seafood , an ordinary steak that was not up to our standards and small portions of sides to share.

    Sat at the bar and got amazing service from bartenders. Ordered a rib to split with my husband and requested medium rare. Came out charred black, covered in mushrooms and mashed potatoes. Tasted like propane gas and very rare. No seasoning and no taste and no saving it . Very expensive piece of meat and was perfectly ruined. Wouldnt feed it to my neighbors dog. Grill room salad was good.

    We were able to watch the action in the kitchen. A well orchestrated experience. Like watching the symphony. That spot is a little noisy but worth it. The special halibut was beautiful and a great mixture of flavors. Great wine list for me who is unsophisticated othat area

    Very superior steaks here between the Filet and NY Strip. Side plates were excellent and the Pinot Noir featured that night was excellent. It is pricy but less than a Ruth's Chris type national steak house.
