Higgins Reviews
I had a memorable dinner at Higgins Restaurant. I ordered their Oregon Mushroom Set Menu, and each dish reflected their respect for local ingredients. The wild mushroom bisque was particularly delicious, with a smooth texture and rich aroma. The waiter was very professional and attentive, explaining the background of each dish. The elegant yet relaxed atmosphere was perfect for a leisurely meal with friends or family.
Great food, friendly people and a Portland classic restaurant.
Delicious food! Fabulous specials. Best cod dish I’ve ever tasted.

Higgins offers an excellent dining experience with delicious food and top-notch service. They provide a new American take on classic French cuisine, using sustainably sourced ingredients. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive, catering to dietary restrictions and offering vegetarian options like the amazing risotto. The restaurant is kid-friendly and wheelchair accessible, with plenty of parking available nearby. Higgins is known for its great burgers, seafood, and house-made charcuterie, making it a must-visit for those craving a flavorful meal in a comfortable space. The specials are delicious, including the orange almond cake, which is a standout dessert. Some dishes like the tuna with polenta and sweet corn beurre blanc have great flavors, but plating can be modest. The bar area provides a wonderful meal and great service, even for larger parties with special requests.
Recent feedback highlights both the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. Guests enjoy a variety of dishes, from the Manhattan cocktail to the Bistro burger, which is described as fantastic. The service is consistently excellent and friendly, with attentive staff that make diners feel welcomed. The menu features standout items such as burrata salad with heirloom tomatoes, petrale sole special, and Fisherman's Stew, all praised for their flavor and presentation. Guests appreciate the rapid service and the reasonable bill for a high-end restaurant, especially on quieter nights. Some note that the restaurant could improve the atmosphere slightly by adding white tablecloths or candles, as the current brown butcher paper and lack of coat service feel less elegant. Despite these minor points, visitors find Higgins to be a fabulous place for a date night or special occasion, with a creative menu, a great bar, and helpful servers. Overall, Higgins continues to impress with its ambiance, menu options, and welcoming environment.
