Meriwether's Restaurant

We enjoyed our meals with our friends and all agreed the food was great. A little too crowded for my taste. I like a little more room so we can talk to our company. My steak was well done and not medium rare like I ordered it. I hate sending things back, but when you pay these prices it should be perfect. The waiter asked how things were so I reluctantly told him. He was visibility annoyed and I watched him as he walked over to the manager to show her the steak. Very unprofessional service! Just pretend, then do and say what you want out of my line of sight... Oh well. The steak came back perfectly. Thankfully I'm a fast eater and I finished my dinner at the same pace as my group.

Just went here for my birthday. It was quite expensive, but you're paying for quality here. The food is made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and the tastes go well together. I liked the way a lot of the dishes seemed really creative (I'd have never thought to include pickled cherries but they sure were tasty!). The drinks there are great too, not too sweet. I also appreciated the subdued but not stiflingly fancy atmosphere. Obviously, you'll want to make reservations if you're working on a specific timetable or have a larger party. On a side note, the location is nice and has good parking, is readily accessible by public transit, and less than 10 minutes away from a lot of interesting shops over in the Northwest district; this is useful if you want to make a full day of your visit to Portland. Summary: All the buzz I'd heard was right, and it's great for any celebrations, just be prepared to either spend a lot or split the bill.

If you're looking for a restaurant with beautiful outdoor seating, this is your place. It's just far enough away from the heart of downtown that you can enjoy a quiet evening in a magical garden, but close enough in that you don't feel like you have to go incredibly out of your way to get here. The food is plated beautifully, though the portions seem a little on the smaller end. It's a romantic setting for a special occasion, but probably wouldn't choose this place for just a standard date night.

Pleasant service and the food was fresh and of high quality, much of which is from their own local farm. Value is severely lacking, however. I ordered the clam tagliatelle, which was fantastic, but I expected more than four (yes, only four) clams on top of the dish. No chopped clams amongst the dish, the "clam" portion was basically a garnish. Almost made me feel ripped off after paying $26 for a small plate of mostly pasta. Worth a try but don't come hungry.

This takes the top spot for our favorite restaurant! I can't say enough about this place. They have their own farm for local fresh and creative produce which leads to their seasonal and tasty recipes that are just excellent! The staff makes you really feel at home and comfortable there. The place is lit with low warm lighting and the decor is a perfect mix of comfortable with stylish - very well done. I hear the patio is amazing. This place is the perfect place for a drinks, business meetings, a family meal or a romantic date. You will be guaranteed to get high quality and nutritious food with five-star recipes. I would be a regular if I could afford it... the prices are what you would expect for a restaurant of this caliber. I have been to many others of this price range but none could compare to the level of this place!

I have only been here once for dinner, so take this review with a grain of salt. The food was very good and for the most part reasonably priced for a nice dinner out. Out of the three dishes I was looking at, two of them were steep. My father-in-law and I split two dishes so we could try more. We ordered the beef Wellington and the pan roasted chicken. Both were very good, but the chicken had the more appropriate price range. Still, we mentioned to each other about splitting the dishes and the waiter overheard us and had the dishes cut in half for us. That was very cool. Also, doing that lowered the cost. Again, it was great food. Just felt like a high price for very specific dishes, not the restaurant as a whole. After dinner we had some desserts which were extremely good. Their chefs are all very skilled. I also enjoy the local sourcing. That is probably what raised the costs. None the less, we will be back to try the brunch. I am already salivating in anticipation. One thing we noticed on the way out, they have a jar of mini play dough tubs for the children. Brilliant.

Instantly noticed the interesting and fun interior that dates back to many years ago but still feels kept up to date. The menu was very impressive, and came with an insert that explained that current fresh produce from their farms. The menu also called out their sources for various ingredients like cheeses. The pantry plate was a wonderful way to try a bunch of their different small dishes. I got the mushroom risotto and it was prepared fantastically! My only qualm was the attitude from the waitress upon inquiring about adding some chicken to our salad and splitting our check. She seemed very annoyed with what I felt were reasonable requests, but maybe she was just having a bad shift? Overall awesome dining experience! Great food for the price. I will most certainly be returning here to try more items from the menu!

One of the best restaurants in portland hands down. I was renovating my kitchen one thanksgiving, so my family and I went there for our thanksgiving dinner and it was probably one of the best thanksgiving meals iv ever had. Even my mom was humbled! It was served family style over several courses. what a great night! Iv heard the brunch is amazing too.
