Wish the bar had a river view. It is right in the hotel lobby. Very nice bar. Comfortable. The food and drinks are good. Everything comes out pretty fast. The fish tacos were fried, not blackened, still good. Seafood chowder was tasty. I only wish it came with bread instead of crackers. The chocolate dessert was way better than the key lime pie.

I can not believe they did last call at 9:30 in the bar with a bar full of sober people. Took us 30 plus minutes to get a beer because bartender wouldn’t except help. She needs to be fired. As a bar owner this is very sad to even see. People come to relax at a hotel. Have meetings all day the next day and then cut off at 9:30? I am sure because this is corporate they won’t care but I see why it has such a low rating!

On a Friday night I arrived at 9PM with a group of five. When i walked in every table had dirty dishes. I bussed my own table, waited 30 minutes for a waitress to come to my table. I asked the manager, Ashley, several times if I could put in an order. Finally i took the order for five people to the hostess. Half am hour later I was advised by the hostess that they had ran out of the meal I ordered half an hour ago. The manager Ashley and the other waitress stood around laughing. Our meal was delivered to our table at 10:27 PM. The food was great.

What a GREAT FIND ‼️ we were so surprised that we did not NEED to leave the hotel to enjoy nice meals. The staff was fun, attentive and had such a good vibe as it opens to a big lobby and the bar w/Sports TV. My husband I were THRILLED! We could not believe we were at a HOLIDAY INN - it was GREAT !!!

This is my favorite go-to restaurant on the island. Hands down the best made-from-scratch salmon chowder in town — substantial but not thick and gooey and the flavors are spectacular. The grilled asparagus with truffle sauce and grilled lemon is an excellent side and my son loves the steelhead. Can’t wait to go back, which won’t be long because I live on the water just a short walk away :)

Convenient restaurant tucked in at the Holiday Inn. Good atmosphere, waitresses were pretty helpful and are not the types that harrass every few minutes. -1 because the utensils were a tad cloudy and the price is a bit much, but not everything is perfect.Perfect portion size, enough to be filling! Go give it a try!

The Jantzen Beach Bar & Grill is inside the Holiday Inn Portland - Columbia Riverfront. This is a full-service restaurant and bar. We dined at the Jantzen Beach Bar & Grill the evening prior to our river cruise on the Columbia. The menu was interesting ~ included northwest salmon fish & chips, blackened cod, shrimp alfredo, ribeye steak, porkchop, boneless beef shortribs, chicken pot pie, meatloaf, steelhead trout, and fancy mac & cheese (see attached menu pic for more detail - lots of interesting entrees to choose from.) I ordered the blackened cod on a ymmy roasted red pepper sauce and was served with couscous, spring vegetables and asparagus. My husband ordered the meatloaf served with mashed potatoes, gravy and seasonal vegetables. Both entres were nicely plated and the food was very good. Staff was friendly and attentive. The carpet needed a really good vaccum, but that seemed to be the issue with the entire hotel, not just the restaurant.

Douglas was amazing! They were very busy in the restaurant and he handled it like a pro!

Had extremely poor service here, I think they only had 1 waitress, we sat down and it took about 10 minutes to get menus, at which time the waitress had a negative attitude and didn't even ask for drink order or anything else, after waiting another 15-20 minutes while watching the waitress stand at the bar for half the time we decided to leave and go to another restaurant. The restaurant is also attached to the hotel lobby so the ambiance is kind of weird. Wouldn't recommend
