“Great starters, average entrees”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2012

Good apps, bread, soup and salad, but very disappointing entrees. We got two fish entrees and both were salty and fishy. More

“Best Hotel Bar in Portland!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2011

I really think this is the best hotel bar in Portland and one of the best restaurants in PDX. The staff is well trained on not only the food and drink but conversation as well. They are more than willing to teach you about the city and help you out. The food is well thought out and planned seasonally using... More

“Boutique chic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 27, 2011

Bartender Johnny was very cool and helpful with the recommendations. The king salmon on handmade ravioli was fantastic. I also had an interesting dessert from their highly creative young pastry chef. A little more than I would usually spend, but it was definitely worth it, given that the food is all sustainable, locally sourced, and highly original. The decor was... More

We had a fantastic meal at H50 Bistro. Everything about it was great, the waiter was friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable not only about the menu but also the wine list. I had the most delicious salmon set atop a gorgeous ravioli and my husband enjoyed a wonderful boned trout. This was then followed by fabulous icecreams and the bistro's... More
