Boy has my rating dropped from five stars at the beginning of summer to three. Last night three of us were looking forward to great food and live jazz. The jazz was great, the food mediocre. Portabella mushroom sandwich consisted of two thin slices of mushroom. Are you kidding? Burger was just ok. Ravioli was somewhat better. Drinks have shrunk in size but all have increased in price. Unfortunately as a local resident I can only say be warned.

Jo Bar is a vibrant piece of NW, with a menu I enjoy, excellent service and vibe, plus the Jazz Sun Mon Wed are another element you can enjoy, definitely recommend if you're reading this, cheers.

Worst restaurant experience of my life. Wonderful, incredible musicians. But terrible, abusive service. Food was okay. Drink wasn’t worth the money but didn’t taste bad. Chimichurri steak is a dish with the potential of being one of the best dishes on the planet. But they didn’t do it justice. It was too acidic (too much vinegar).

The atmosphere at Jo Bar & Rotisserie is nice, and the art and live music create a good vibe (although the music was a bit too loud at times). Unfortunately, the food was a major disappointment. The salmon was undercooked twice, which completely ruined the experience. It’s clear the kitchen needs serious improvement — the chef should work on technique and consistency. Overall, the setting was pleasant, but the meal itself made it hard to enjoy.

Fantastic food. The salmon nicoise salad was delicious. Loved the kalamata olives and capers in it. Service was impeccable! Leon was on his game and just warm and friendly. Just a genuinely good guy. He should teach a masterclass on his profession. Tosh was very sweet. Jazz band was great.

The strawberry salad was just what I needed after a long day of travel. Sweet, crisp, and delicious. Corey & Gemma were an absolute delight to chat with, and the strawberry/cucumber/gin cocktail was so incredibly refreshing. Thank you for a wonderful first meal in Portland!!
I love Jo Bar! I’ve been going every week for several months to listen to live jazz and have seldom been disappointed. Great bartenders, Helen, Gemma and Cory as well as server Leon. Terrific ravioli and I’ve tried and loved several desserts, my current favorite is the Passion. Also good wine choices and they stock Hennessy, my favorite cognac. I hear the happy hour is wonderful but I get there too late for it. Do yourself a favor and check them out!

Traveler in town for a long weekend. Just walking around the area and saw the little three person jazz band setting up and I love a casual bit to eat. We got there early, usually it seems a reservation is needed but my friend and I got a seated at the bar immediately. The music was great and according to signage, they have jazz bands regular. The food was great! Had the Fondue and the garlic bread appetizers and the scallops for the main course. Definitely highly recommend.

Fantastic happy hour! Food is unique and delicious and the service was OUTSTANDING. The hostess and the two servers we had we all friendly, relaxed, attentive and super fun. Highly recommend Jo Bar!
Dietary restrictions: I can’t eat wheat and was delighted to find many dishes that were delicious and unique. The sage squash and carrot soup were fabulous and the fries are not breaded!
