My boyfriend and I were here last night and had an exellent experience! I cannot remember our servers name but she was so sweet and able to answer any questions we had. A little on the pricier side but not bad at all for Portland in general. Definitely coming again!

We hosted an event for 40 people and it was fantastic! The group loved it and the food and the staff were amazing. Thank you to Summer and team!

We rented out Bar West for a business dinner it was the perfect spot. The space was perfect, there was plenty of room for folks to mingle before dinner and the service was excellent. Dinner was served family style and with the amazing staff, it couldn't have gone smoother. Highly recommend!

This review is specifically related to the use of this business to host a large group event, specifically a company retreat. My company has held several similar all-day events here in the past for a group size of about 25, most recently last week on Oct. 23. Unfortunately, several factors about the environment and food service were very unfavorable, as a result of which we will need to re-evaluate using this business for future large group extended events. Most negative was the food service, as there were both very limited options and not enough food, as a result of which at least several participants were hungry throughout the day. The only food options available for the main meal (lunch) were broccoli, chicken and salmon (no carbs of any sort, such as pasta or rice). Thus for vegetarians, there was nothing to eat except for broccoli. If someone (such as myself) eats fish but not meat including chicken, there was little to eat because the salmon ran out very quickly and no more was available (so I ate only broccoli). This negatively impacted my ability to participate in the afternoon part of the company retreat. In addition to the lack of food, the ambient noise was unacceptably loud (it took a long time to get the music turned down, after which there were random disturbing sounds coming from somewhere in the business throughout the day), and it was quite cold causing multiple people to wear their outside jackets during the afternoon. These issues were not a problem previously, most especially the food, but if we were to hold another large group event here in the future we would need some assurance that these negative and controllable issues would be improved upon. (The space itself is fine and appropriate for our needs.)
Addendum: My company’s practice manager (who organized the retreat the past 2 years) saw this review and added that:
“I found the person assigned as coordinator very unpleasant both times. She left for the day and never told me. She seemed put out by any request and was not friendly. Also, the noise was an issue both times that I recall. Kitchen banging around and loud overhead music.”
Clearly this business has no interest in hosting group events!

Visited last weekend and had a peaceful, serene experience. Food was delicious and our server was very friendly. I tried their award winning Bloody Mary and it was mind blowing!

We loved the cozy atmosphere for our girls’ night. Service was attentive and friendly. We wanted to try everything, so we just ordered a bunch and shared. Top marks on the house made focaccia, cowboy candy pizza and burrata.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner in the north room at bar west, it was absolutely perfect. Food was incredible, space was beautiful, and service was great from start to finish.

Honestly, pretty disappointed… This place was overpriced and it under delivered. Food was okay.. but the portions were underwhelming.. service was inattentive .. without getting into too much detail.. there’s just better places in Portland.
