We booked a table several weeks ahead of our 25th wedding anniversary, noting on the Open Table app that this was a special occasion. Upon arriving at the restaurant, it was clear that the staff had zero knowledge of our special occasion. Indeed, no one...inquired as to the reason for our visit during the evening. I contrast this with a visit to El Gaucho for our 20th anniversary, similarly booked through Open Table, and we were greeted with roses and a greeting card at our table. The menu was limited owing to COVID-19, presumably, but the prices were not. We ordered Calamari from the extremely limited appetizer menu - deep fried mush, if I am being honest. Not fresh at all. Then came our main course. No Filet Mignon available, but was assured by the waiter that the sirloin was of similar quality. Quality of steak was 'OK', but most certainly did not match the price point. Waiter was busy with multiple tables and for the price point I expected a little more personal attention. The view was great, the service OK, the food on the poor to average scale. There are WAY better places in Portland to eat steak at a similar price with much better service and better quality food. Admittedly, this place has the view, and if that's what you want to pay for, go for it. As for us, we like great food and great service, and this restaurant missed on both of those points.More
