Best Lunch Restaurants in Portland

Such a knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant server. Food (I ordered the duck), drink, and dessert were also exquisite. Higgins was top-notch, as usual. We love this place.

7 of us had brunch here. Our wait staff paid attention and refilled drinks before they were empty, and didn’t rush us out the door. I appreciated that they allowed us to enjoy our meal and were around if we needed them, but weren’t stopping by every 5 minutes to ask us how we were doing. Our food took a little longer (maybe 30 minutes from ordering), but without asking they brought out olives and nuts to snack on while waiting. Will be back again.

As always, the food was delicious, drinks were tasty, and service was friendly. Only downside is the noise level. We usually sit in the bar area to take the edge off the sound.

Went here for a romantic evening dinner after a full day of exploring and hiking around Portland. Kind, attentive staff, outstanding views, well curated menu and wine selection. I do wish the portions were slightly larger, especially the dessert. We ordered one to share, and it was quite small; we could have eaten it in one bite. However, the city view is undoubtedly one of the highlights, it completely transports you into a far more intimate city and makes you forget about the bustling around you. Our server Amanda was amazing! She made sure we were well educated on our entree selections, and I have to commend how careful they were about my tree nut allergy, that kind of attention to detail is a rare occurrence. Overall, it was a beautiful evening and I will definitely be returning next time I’m in Portland.

Took my mom and husband to Afternoon Tea for a holiday celebration and it was great. The restaurant confirmed with me three times that they could accommodate my mom's food allergy ahead of time and her choices were excellent. The service and ambiance were outstanding and the food was delicious. My one wish is that it were just a bit quieter for conversation, but the noise level was still reasonable for a full restaurant. We ill definitely return for Afternoon Tea and I hope they consider offering it year round.
