Proof•Reader Whiskey + Craft + Kitchen, Restaurant & Bar

Don't go here on a night when there is an event at the Keller Auditorium. We arrived at 6:30 to catch a bite and a drink before a 7:30 show. The place was packed and understaffed. It took 20 minutes for us to be waited on. An by then it was too late to get food except a cup of soup. All the food is prepared upstairs and the process is apparently time consuming. According to other guests in the restaurant it was taking over an hour to get served. I can't speak to the quality of the food on the menu or what the experience would be like at another time. Just make sure to check the Keller schedule before making reservations.

Wonderful food. Great Old Fashion! Excellent service. We eat here before attending shows at the Keller so we come about six times a year. It never disappoints.

Salmon and steaks severely overcooked. $40 for 2 ounce pour of Eagle Rare. Not pleased in the least. This “restaurant” needs to have new management and vastly improve food program. $297.00 billion for 3 adults for what was delivered was disgraceful.

Ambience is amazing. Food was immaculate. Service was fantastic and fast. Drinks were incredible. New favorite spot. Wish there were more locations around Portland Metro.

Our server was great, but the food was disappointing. Damon was really overcooked, steak was inconsistently cooked, and my dish was not as described. The menu said Kabocha squash puree, but it had sliced delicata squash. It also said roasted fennel, but the dish had raw fennel. I ate about a third.

Surprising selection of whiskey.

Seated with one other group present, waited 30 minutes for a skillet and croissant. Ignored by waiters until the food arrived.

Skillet tasted good, but it was mostly a greasy pile of 5 different meats. And way too much, maybe 2lbs of food! Just less meat, and less kinds of meat, would've drastically improved the dish.

Coffee was just passible, in a town overflowing with great coffee. The croissant had a hard crust as if it were reheated in an air frier.

If you're in the hotel and have time, it's not the worst choice, but there's just so much better food and great service on every block downtown so you should go elsewhere.

Minor gripe: It's a whiskey lounge but I saw no whiskey displayed... Just weird to not see a selection of whiskey when you walk into a whiskey louge.

Good experience overall. A little loud around 6:30pm. Bacon wrapped dates were overcooked. Brussel sprouts were amazing. Pork chop dish was a favorite.

Great place - love the comfortable booths - not many good choices for reasonable food and drinks in this part of town near the Keller. This is a keeper !

The food was good. Delivered to the table warn, not hot. I would try someplace different if I return.

Excellent. Wait staff attentive. Food very tasteful.

Randomly found this place when the restaurant we wanted to go to was booked. I was very surprised that it was inside a hotel. The food was so good with great flavor combinations. And they made an excellent old fashioned and even a fancy mocktail! I would eat here again next time I see a show at the Keller center. And easy walk to the show.

We had the elk sausage pasta along with a dragonfruit cider, which were very good, and the Caesar salad with prawns, which was fine but nothing special.

Server was great and friendly. Steaks my wife and I ordered were grisly and fatty. Salmon was ok and veggies were good. Drink was great. Probably won't eat there again if I have options
