For the prices.. the food isn’t that great. It was just eh. It’s more of a bar with 5 star prices.
Pretty cold because of the aircon not working properly!
The fried green tomatoes were not too good. The mushroom soup was good.
Food was good but second course came out just as we started on our appetizers. We also brought our own bottle of wine and was happy to pay the corkage fee however when they opened the wine they destroyed the cork and we had cork throughout our decanted wine.
The booth was small, get a table if you’re over 5’8” we had to move so my husband was comfortable and could her his feet & knees under the table.
Great place to eat, food was very good perfectly cooked and treated wonderful. Atmosphere was very relaxed and the service was outstanding. Looking forward to my next visit.
Food was great and the dining around is nice. Waitress was very helpful in finding gluten free options on the menu.
Our waitress Cheryl was amazing! She was very friendly and knew the menu well. She Was well in tune to us!
All OK. BUT, the waiter kept calling my wife and me "you guys". Not cool.
Solid choice for great cocktails and good bar food (burgers were excellent, as were duck wings and curried deviled eggs).
This was our second visit to Red Star. The food was delicious, the service was great (Ashley was very friendly and attentive), and the atmosphere was perfect. Will certainly eat here again.
Pleasantly surprised. Was expecting bar food from a hotel restaurant, but the food was creative and a big step up from typical pub grub.
Great!!! Awesome service and delicious food! We will be back.
Food was very good, portions are small but the burgers are good sized. Spendy but it is downtown after all. Service wasn’t great but the manager pitched in and all was well.
LARGE space, very comfortable feeling and good lighting. The steak was amazing, perfectly marinated and cooked perfectly, my boyfriend LOVED the local mushrooms. very good quality of food. Service was a little slow considering there were only maybe 10 people total in the restaurant at the time, but my waitress was very nice and easy to talk to.
Sometimes I hesitate to go to a hotel restaurant. But don’t. This one was great. Service was terrific. And the food was delicious. From the heirloom tomatoes to the millet cakes and salmon everyone loved their meal! We would definitely go back
We were here for brunch with 2 young children in our party. The server was very kind and accommodating for them...even bringing extra crayons and snacks while waiting for our food. The breakfast food was excellent.
It was our second time and we LOVED it. The food was on point just wished they didn’t take the scallops risotto off the menu.. :)
This restaurant is an oasis in downtown Portland and close to all of the major hotels. I ordered the fish special but they ran out. Rather than our server telling us, a manager came out, apologized and took my substitute order. Then the chef brought out a shrimp cocktail to make amends. Then our dinners came out at the same time. What could have been a bigger problem for us turned into an exceptional experience about how to make diners really happy. Five Stars!
Food was great. Menu had a lot of options. Ambience was cool and drink menu was perfect
Red Star never disappoints. I do miss the lavender corn bread. The lamb shank is wonderful.
Excellent, attentive service...Generous drinks and very tasty entrees...While one steak was under cooked, they went the extra mile to satisfy and accommodate....Wide variety of selections.
Was expecting to order from the brunch menu. However, they were doing a Mother's Day buffet brunch for $50 per person. It was quite a hefty price for brunch. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our brunch. Food was good. Some items were very good, some fair. All in all a nice brunch, but not sure if it was worth the $50 value.
I found it unfortunate the manager wouldn’t allow me to order their lamb shank because he had other more important customers coming in later as part of a large group ... he didn’t use the words “more important” but that is the translation I took away since he was holding orders so he could have enough for the group ... service was great, food is good and well prepared ...
The food was very good and my server was helpful with the menu and making recommendations! I will be back when I’m back in Portland.
Restaurant was nice but it was a little cold inside
We loved the convenient valet parking with two hours free with one elevator ride up to the restaurant level. I loved our waitress and with vegan, fish, gluten free and other meat options it was a great menu for a variety of diets. The prices are a little steep however worth it. Thank you
Dine out for life
Excellent dinner. I enjoyed the salmon. Good presentation. Good atmosphere.
Our dining experience at the Red Star Tavern was superb. Our waiter, Sebastian, was super friendly and attentive. We were celebrating a friend's visit to Portland, and he must have told the chef because a few minutes later we were treated to a charcuterie plate for our special occasion - such a wonderful surprise ! We ordered the chef 3-course meal that was fantastic. To top it all off, the grilled pineapple bread pudding for dessert was heavenly. Thank you everyone at Red Star !!
Birthday celebration. Made reservation ahead. Did not feel welcome from entry. Waiter was rude and dismissive. Salmon dry. Wild boar rigatoni overly salty. Steak was good, average nothing special. Drinks never topped off. Had to ask for cutlery.
Actually sat at table and cried at disappointing 50th birthday experience. Probably good for a weekday lunch, not a celebratory vibe. Not worth high price tag.
Our server was not very attentive. I had to RE order my omelet 3 times and it still was NOT correct and I really didn’t get what I wanted to eat except my potatoes. Very unhappy with my experiences. We were celebrating a friend’s birthday so I decided to not argue over payment over my food being wrong 3 times.
food was very good but the waiter was abrupt and unwelcoming
I went to Red Star Tavern on Easter for brunch with 5 of my friends. The food was really good and reasonably priced. The server was very friendly. We had 6 people total and we asked them to give us 6 separate checks and they did it happily. I was pleasantly surprised since many places don't like to separate checks. I would definitely come here again!
Happy with our brunch selections and our attentive server. Good options for Passover.
Service was terrible. Server was terrible. Our food arrived after an entire hour, and neither the server nor manager (who eventually brought us our food) acknowledged how late the food was. They even rather cut us short, when we tried to mention it to us. Rude AF.
Very surprised! The food was exotic and the place very nice!
Enjoyed delicious, carefully composed salads with local ingredients. Great coffee; courteous and friendly service. Validated parking made the visit to downtown restaurant convenient.
Very high-quality food, and excellent service. The portion of my salmon was fairly small, but it was fresh and perfectly cooked.
Cheryl is fabulous at her job, so kind and caring. Open to great humor too! Love the food here, always enjoyable!
