Where is the Best Steak in Portland, Oregon?
I have been going to Hall Street for as long as it has been in existence, which I think is over 20 years!! I can honestly say that I’ve NEVER had a bad meal there. On occassion, the service has been rather slow, but usually is commensurate with how busy they are—if you go on a wk. end , or Friday night , you are going to wait–even with reservations (which I would ALWAYS recommend here. This you will find AT ANY good popular place–which this is !! My complaint –when lunching with a friend yesterday{ 9/11/07} , was that at the end of our meal, we felt like we were being “hounded” by our server to pay the tab, and be on our way.!! This was a week-day afternoon, and they were not particularly busy. I did not like this, and wrote a “comment card” stating such and mailed it to the GM. This waiter was otherwise faultless.Pros + excellent food nice atmosphere, friendly staff , good parkingCons – inconsistent service depending on your server, cocktails excellent but overpriced
Straight-shooter Portlanders like me have known about the Acropolis for years. I’ve seen the owner feed the fireplace and invited a waitress (many are so beautiful I’d like to see THEM on stage) to my brother’s wedding. That’s how good it is. If you’re from NYC or LA and want a great meal with drop-dead gorgeous dancers and a musical mix that’s neither all hair metal nor all wussy rap for white suburbanites, come to the Acropolis. Some things in this town haven’t been ruined yet by the hipster hordes.
I have been here a few times and the food is absolutely good and has always been good!. Everything we had a few days ago was well prepared and of superb quality from the garlic bread to the sauteed spinach to everyones steaks! Nothing frou-frou, and certainly nothing super creative but just good food! The Bananas Foster were a great way to end a very satisfying meal.The service was attentive without being overbearing. The only negative was the faint smell of cigar/cigarette?? smoke which everyone at our table commented on that evening.I will go back in a heartbeat for one of the best steaks in Portland.Pros + FoodCons – Smell of smoke!
Don’t let the name mislead you. It may sound like a Denny’s, but it’s nothing even close. The service has to be mentioned here — absolutely flawless. Each and ever time I’ve been here I have not been disappointed. The entrees are fantastic, desserts decadent and delicious, and great views on to the golf course. The furnishings are a bit dated — feeling like a late 70s lounge, but it’s comfortable and warm. The menu is a variation on traditional comfort foods (thus in some ways matching the feel of the decor). But these variations make the ordinary extraordinarily good. For the quality, the prices are not unreasonable. Great place for a date or a quality meal to be had with close friends.
