Best Historic Restaurants in Southwest Portland

Our table for the six of us seated eight so we had plenty of room since the space for chairs against the divider is a bit tight. Our table was ready within a minute of our checking in for our reservation. Our server promptly took our drink order and came back for our menu selections. Our appetizer arrived a bit late but no worries because we enjoyed a liesurely meal and did not feel rushed to make room for other guests. As usual, the view was terrific; nice, cloudy January afternoon.

Our waiter was very good and helpful. The food was excellent. Salmon cooked perfectly. Calamari, steelhead and sole all very well cooked.

Elegant, lovely dining experience upstairs, overlooking the ground floor guests. The delectables were beautifully displayed and yummy. The tea selection and service were good. It was a memorable, fun moment spent with my daughter. Great way to end a year and start the new!

Met two friends for brunch. The bloody Mary's came out quickly and were very good, and our food seemed perfectly timed, and was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Jake's has a very comfortable, familial feel to it. I always feel quite at home there compared to many other restaurants. We had Christmas lunch there and one of my dining companions said the roast chicken was the best he'd ever tasted. The butterscotch pudding for dessert is so creamy and has just a hint of burned sugar to it which is a nice element. Coffee is very good.
