The ambience, drinks and service is wonderful, a great place for fine dining. The drawback for our group were. The cinnamon raisin French toast was too soggy in the center and the eggs Benedict muffins were too hard to cut.

Wonderful ambiance. Disappointed that the hollandaise was set out in such miserly portions. The crab eggs Benedict was OK. Lacking was sufficient sauce to cover.

OpenTable doesn't tell you that when they have live music, there is a cover charge, even to have dinner. They said they were going to waive it, and we told them we would tip the band separately, but they added it on anyways. They also have A LOT of rules (minimum food and drink purchases). I had their signature salad and was pretty disappointed for the price. It was supposed to have shrimp and crab, but it only had small shrimps and no crab. They have a few staples that are always good ... like the French Onion soup, which I recommend. Our waiter was great, but I'm still 50/50 we would return. If you've never been, I do recommend going. It's a throw-back to a long-lost era when train travel was for the rich and the dining at the stations was high-end. They're one of the few restaurants in Portland where you can get good, "normal" food in a wonderful environment.

This was our first time at Wilf's. The whole experience was amazing! The food was excellent! We had the Steak Diane, which was prepared tableside. The desserts were divine! The waiter was superb! And the live music was wonderful! We can't wait to go back!

Our two servers made our evening celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary absolutely amazing! I am not a sponsor in anyway, but I wish to encourage anyone who has a loved one to take them to Wilf’s Restaurant for a wonderful lovely evening out.
