About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Great for happy hour
Great for brunch

Located across from Director’s Park in the Paramount Hotel, this dual concept engages all the regions of the palate. Taylor Street Tavern polishes the ruggedly natural aspects of the Pacific Northwest into precisely crafted plates for daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner offerings. Locally sourced ingredients also make an appearance in the house crafted cocktails and west coast wine selections.

Just across the lobby, Swine Moonshine and Whiskey Bar explores the history of the American whiskey tradition, complete with a reclaimed authentic still and extensive whiskey list. Early and late happy hours keep people sipping all night long.

Taylor Street Tavern delighted our senses. The Buffalo cauliflower was delicious. My meat eating husband enjoyed it as much as I did. His fish and chips were delicious as well. I ordered the house salad and salmon which was perfectly paired. I also ordered the spicy pomegranate margarita which had the right amount of kick. Our server was friendly and helpful! He suggested the Buffalo cauliflower. We will be back when in downtown Portland.

We were seated in a quiet area as requested as my husband is hearing impaired. Choice between lunch or brunch we both choose brunch. Both meals were outstanding, cooked to perfection. When I said I couldn't eat potatoes I was offered a fruit bowl which was grand. The coffee kept flowing and the waiter was delightful.

This is a nice restaurant with good food but don't go on Mother's Day! I made a reservation a couple weeks prior for 8 people. When we arrived we found out that it was a buffet only for $50 per person with a mandatory 22% tip and the buffet didn't even include coffee. All drinks were extra. Had I known this in advance I would have chosen somewhere else. We had 3 kids and 3 senior women in our group of 8...none of us eat $50 worth of food. Service was OK but not great.

This is one of our favorite places in Portland. The food is fantastic, the prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is beautiful, and the staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. I don't think many people know about this place, because you can always get a table and you shouldn't be able to always get a table here. It's our go-to when in Portland.

We picked this restaurant for pizza week. The service is pretty slow. We waited for our drinks for quite some time and they finally arrived just before our food came. We noticed that the people seated after us got their drinks before we did. The pizza was ok, but the sauce tasted like it olive brine in it. My Caesar salad was dry. We asked for pepper flakes and they never came. The pepper wasn't coming out of the pepper shaker, but knew it wasn't worth asking for more. It was ok, but didn't meet our expectations. It looks like such a nice restaurant that you would expect the food to be as delicious as the place is beautiful. Not the case.

Had a great experience here -- everything from the cocktails to the starters, entrees and desserts was best in class. Each of us felt that what we ordered had to be the best thing on the menu (Tavern burger, Tavern dip, chicken piccata), and I want to give a special shout out to the bread pudding dessert recommended by our waiter -- possibly the Platonic ideal of the form, no kidding around. This was a fairly random choice of restaurant for us (we needed something within walking distance of our hotel, with something for everyone), and we feel like we struck gold. We even tried to go back the next night, but it was closed for a private event -- guess we'll just have to wait till our next Portland trip!
