Highly recommend the Grill! The focaccia bread is amazing! All the staff, the chef and especially Colby and Jaden have top notch service! Highly recommend to check it out

What a fantastic evening! Our server Julio (AKA Javier/Dru/MOUTHIE) was amazing. He made excellent drink and food recommendations, was friendly, funny and made the entire experience enjoyable. The food was DELICIOUS, atmosphere was lively. Highly recommend this place!
Parking: We parked at the Fore St Parking Garage and walked. Street has parking but was packed.

Lost my reservation. Chef table not available. Noisy tight tables. Ribeye was average not great. Caesar salad was good. Scallops were very good.

Appetizer was too big for one should have been told even though did not ask to share was brought a plate and charged extra for sharing WHAT! He took it off when It wasn’t shared but why would you serve appetizer big enough for 3-4 and then charge a share fee? Entree ordered was lobster tail received 2 around 3” were overcooked. I received three times the amount of lobster in a poor boy and it was tender and $5 bucks less. My companions steak was burned and her baked potato not cooked thru. We had a better meal at a pub and it was half the price.

First timer & they did not disappoint!!! The Chantrelle mushrooms fried in tempura is INSANE. I would eat 10 plates of them, this should be a constant menu item but as an entree!!!! Everything was delicious, we will be back! Great service, the waitress was so sweet. Excellent wine.

Very mediocre. Ribeye was overcooked and had some bizarre seasoning and the mashed potatoes had a medicinal taste. The waitstaff was lethargic and not eager to serve my family of 5, service was like that of a diner. Best menu item was the steak strip appetizer. My wife has a gluten allergy and when stated to the waiter he appeared to not care, and the subsequent food delivery indicated that fact did not move him (salad had bread on it). Surprising to see this touted as the best steakhouse in Portland.

Our waiter was the best most of us had ever experienced. He was knowledgeable, courteous, gracias and made sure we knew we were his priority. My friend did not like his mushroom dish. And to another, it was unclear that a particular drink was a mocktail. The table for 6 is loosely connected to its base, so the table was hard to steady: tough when there are full martini glasses on the table!

We had a wonderful evening celebrating Nana' s birthday at the Grill Room. Our waiter Huleo was incredible. What an asset to you team, he helped make our evening even more special. We look forward to our next gathering at the Grill.

Food was delicious. Best beet salad I've ever had. Loved the scallop dish! Yummy salted caramel gelato too. Our server Sean was extremely attentive and delightful.
Great food, sat at the kitchen bar and interacted with the chefs. Really enjoyed the recommendations and learning for about the local sourcing.

Our meal was fantastic and the service was excellent! Looking forward to forward to our next time. It's a tough noise level for a conversation but well worth the trade-off.

The food, ambiance, wait staff all are excellent. The noise level was very high but it was Labor Day weekend so to be expected.

The happy hour has some great drink deals. It runs from 4-6. You have an apps menu only. We each got the escargot (delicious ) and a wedge salad to share . Apps are meant to be shared , right? No where did we see there was a share charge. Bill came and $5 charge for splitting the salad ?!? What if we had split the app of goat cheese and bread? Aren't apps meant to share ?? Other than that service was great. Food was great. Great drink prices. Perfect on the patio.

Incredible food and service. The heirloom burrata salad was out of this world. We love all of Hardings restaurants!
