The food was okay. Ordered a burger and raw oysters. I've had raw oysters before in other places, but never in my life I've been served n rip off of smallest oysters. They should be embarassed lol. Mind you, I've been here 2 times before I'm putting this review. So the atmosphere is nice and presentable with nice mood lighting if you're into it like me. Cocktails are good here. This is the type of place I would just go chill and sip on an olde fashion but would eat somewhere else.

Tucked in the Woodlark Hotel, Abigail Hall is a gorgeous lounge with excellent food and wonderful service. I visited specifically to try their cheeseburger. I got a side of fries as well. You place your order at the bar and then find a seat. The decor and ambiance are really delightful, with dimmed lighting, elegant design details, and enough seating so it's cozy without being crowded.
The burger was fantastic. Two thin patties, melted American cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles and a burger sauce. Think the best Big Mac imaginable. The fries had a salt and vinegar kick to them, and there was enough for at least two people to share. Absolutely delicious and I'd hit this place regularly if I lived in Portland!

I’ve had high tea here twice with girlfriends, and it is such a lovely experience. The service is excellent, the tea and treats are delicious, and the atmosphere is beautiful.

It's a beautiful space and I was excited to try it with 3 other girlfriends. My friend made the reservation. Somehow, a double reservation was made on accident, so they were expecting 8 of us instead of 4. We clarified that only 1 reservation for 4 was made. The hostess and manager were both accusatory about it- blaming my friend for making 2 reservations (and charging for both). She did get a refund for the one reservation. That started off a chilly experience. The hostess even snapped at us when picking up the menus, as we intended to order cocktails. The food was OK. Mostly, sugar and pastries, only 1 finger sandwich. The place is beautiful and the bartender in their chic "Mrs. Roper" vibe was the highlight- the only nice person on staff. Would not recommend.

I had to take off some stars because of what happened when I went to pay my bill. The bartender was awesome when I came in, I really liked her, we had a nice chat. When we left we realized we were charged full price, not happy hour price, and instead of being gracious about it, and saying I'm sorry that was my fault, she seemed angry and her coworker stepped in, fixed it and apologized.

I reserved Abigail Hall for my daughter's bridal shower this past weekend, and it was everything I could have hoped for and more. From the very start, Katherine, the events coordinator, was wonderful to work with—she was incredibly helpful and made the planning process seamless. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with elegant decor that meant we didn’t need to bring in any additional decorations, making setup incredibly easy.
Once the event began, the service was outstanding. The bartender, who was truly exceptional, was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Everyone raved about his service throughout the event. We even had a small mishap with our 3-year-old niece, and the staff handled it quickly and graciously, making it feel as though nothing had happened. Their professionalism and kindness did not go unnoticed.
The cocktails were delightful, the tea was perfectly brewed, and the food was fantastic. We ordered additional charcuterie boards and shrimp cocktail, all of which were beautifully presented and delicious. At the end of the event, the staff kindly boxed up the remaining food for us to take home, which we greatly appreciated.
I would highly recommend Abigail Hall for any event. The combination of a beautiful venue, exceptional staff, and top-notch service made it an unforgettable experience. I’m already looking forward to returning for a high tea in the future!

This would be a fine afternoon tea experience if you have never had tea anywhere else. The room is lovely. The service was attentive. The tea selection is very nice. The food unfortunately was very average. The ratio of savory to sweet was off, the scones were dry (really could have used some clotted cream or at least butter), and the rest was not particularly memorable.

Brought a friend here to celebrate her birthday and it was a perfect experience. I read a lot of reviews saying how bad the food is - it wasn't as bad as described! That said the radish sandwich on milk bread was dry, the strawberry scone was odd & overly sweet, but all the other food was delicious. The savory scone and smoked salmon tartlet were the highlights.
We went with the lord bergamot tea and sherry pairing which was perfect for both tea fans and tea averse people.
Would come again!

Love the atmosphere. However it was hardly busy and took just under an hour for our fries and when we asked about them, the staff seemed annoyed we would ask.

My friend and I had high tea here, and it was a cozy and calm place to enjoy the afternoon. For us the place really just loses out on the stars due to a large selection of the cocktails and mocktails being unavailable. Additionally, the food was just okay, most of it was pretty under seasoned and tasted like it had been sitting out for a couple of hours. The desserts were really tasty though. Also, it just took a long time to get seated, order, etc. It was probably due to being understaffed but we weren’t in a hurry and things still dragged on a bit too long. I’d heard such good things but it just didn’t quite live up to the hype. They used Smith tea which was a plus
I had a truly disappointing experience at their High Tea time. We did a buy-out event for My sister's birthday celebration, and it was marred by feeling rushed and being treated poorly by the staff throughout the entire celebration. This left a sour taste in my mouth and completely ruined the special occasion. Upon working it out with the manager, they said they would send us a giftcard but ended counted it towards the final bill. The food and tea was great, but the service needs to be fixed. We paid for a service that we did not receive.
