Bellpine

Probably the best view in town now that the Big Pink is not safe ... The food was good overall, but not sure if it's worth the price, but you are paying for the ambiance and service. It costs us $180 per person, but we did get enough food and some wine. Nicole was our seever and she is indeed great as many reviewers mentioned.

In a word …. Disappointing First the positives - the views are outstanding + our server Craig was very good - On the food front the carpaccio was fantastic. Maybe the best I have ever had. My wife also enjoyed the Brussel sprouts. And I thought the crab Berliner was solid On the other hand - the scallops themselves were well prepared however the rest of the dish was flat with little to no taste …. Sad to say a common theme - I generally never order ribs unless we are at a bbq place. Once again - I was proven right. The ribs were very disappointing. Very little taste and very mushy - the lobster sliders were bad - really bad. We had two orders (4 total) and everyone had the same thoughts - no taste and if I was generous they were prepared as a medium but probably closer to a well done. Don’t mean to be ugly -but some of the worst sliders I have ever had Living in California I am use to high prices however for below average taste …. Disappointing. Especially in a town with a ton of great restaurants PS Skip the Massican - tasting more like a Chardonnay

The food, views and service are exceptional! Usually the descriptions of plates in fancy $$$ restaurants sound better than they taste … this isn’t the case at Bellpine. One of our faves is the Albacore & Waygu beef tartare stuffed bone marrow. Sounds weird, but is delectable. Oysters, Uni & Caviar appetizer came together flawlessly fresh! See photos for more. I will admit that the $28 cocktail w gold leaf and a green mochi ice cream ball (to serve as ice?) was overly sweet and hid the gin. Cocktails can break the bank here so be forewarned :) It’s hard to get a reservation, but we found that the bar — where you can access the full menu — was nearly empty the Friday night we were there, which was highly surprising given the amazing view.

Every time I go with friends, it’s a phenomenal experience. Last time I went with my friend, she was celebrating her birthday. They brought us a chocolate cake that was delicious and unexpected The detail that totally impressed me was that they brought us a birthday card signed by every staff at the restaurant, we could not believe it. Horst Schulze excellent service vision culture is alive and respires at the Portland’s Ritz-Carlton!.

Chef Pedro has taken Bellpine to the next level. The menu is exquisite and offers a diverse range of culinary originals. It primarily focuses on small plates and does offer larger portioned dishes as well as I would say table sized dishes that sounded absolutely amazing. We stuck with the smaller plate options. We walked in and were treated warmly and seated quickly. They have a great bar menu. I especially enjoyed the olive oil old fashioned. It may sound strange however it works very well and is a great twist on a classic. We ordered the brioche bread, crab Berliner, pork ribs, wagyu carpaccio, the sliders, and the salmon with potato terrine for dessert we had the campfire s’mores! All dishes were phenomenal. The salmon was perfect and served with crispy salmon skin that was executed flawlessly. The pork ribs and sliders were excellent and balanced with correct seasonings and proportions of salt fat acid and heat. Very well balanced. What made this truly unique was the dessert. They brought out and lit tableside a ramekin with apple brandy to toss our scratch made marshmallows. They make everything from scratch even the graham crackers tasted luxurious. The service from our waitress was five star worthy and she made it so special for us. Fabulous and worth it. You must go and try new things on their menu every time!

I’ve been to Bellpine a few times now, and it’s easily one of the BEST dining spots in Portland. The views alone are worth it, But the food? Unreal. Locally sourced, beautifully plated, and full of flavor. The service is always top-notch too. Staff are friendly, helpful, and really make you feel taken care of. Highly recommend for both special occasions and casual fine dining. Definitely one of Portland’s best. TAKE ALL MY MONEY, BELLPI 😀I’M YOURS.

We loved this meal and our server, Nicole, deserves a raise. She was super communicative, cheerful, had good recommendations, and was kind. ❤️Albacore and wagyu tartare ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - would reorder this again - my main issue with this was the sauce was sort of weirdly dispersed throughout but I like how it wasn't overly saucy, the meat was able to shine through ❤️Crab Berliner ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - surprisingly good - loved the sweat bread, the cinnamon was amazing - wasn't too sweet wasn't too salty. Salmon crudo ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - loved this but wish it had something substantial like maybe an avocado or some veggie to balance it if there is this little salmon? Brussel sprouts and miso ⭐⭐⭐ - just ok for me - a little too saucy - but the brussel sprouts were fresh, they weren't bitter Rosti potato⭐⭐⭐ - would reorder, little too salty and rich for me - my partner loved it - it was good, the potatoes were so crispy, I wouldn't consider this a rosti, it was more of a crunchy potato chunk less what I thought would be a pancake - the truffle was good Pork ribs⭐⭐⭐ - just ok - was super tender - the flavor didn't blow my mind - the slaw was good Bellpine sliders ⭐⭐ - wouldn't reorder - little too heavy - lobster was rubbery for me ❤️Wagyu and persimmon carpaccio ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - the topping worked really well - light and delicate and melted --- dessert --- Forest ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - favorite dessert i have had at a resturaunt - our server recommended this Corn ⭐⭐⭐ - wouldn't reorder this, specifically because I like the forest so much - it is slightly too savory for me, so this is truly a preference thing and potentially an expectation thing for me

We had the 7 course chef sampler meal. Everything was perfect, and we especially enjoyed the portion size. Great view, great service and nice atmosphere. Nicole, our server, was very knowledgeable and wonderful. We will definitely be back again!

A ROOM WITH A VIEW Sashay through the lobby of the Ritz Carlton, and take the elevator to Bellpine if you want to dine with a view. We came here for a weekday lunch and had our choice of great tables that let us survey downtown Portland. Since all three of us felt like having a drink to celebrate our "sisters reunion," we order the local 2023 Abbey Road Farms Gamay Rose for $56. It was light and enjoyable. The lunch menu is rather limited. My sister and I both selected the Prime Rib Burger ($24), which comes with fries or a green salad. The tasty burger was cooked perfectly and topped with a melange of flavors - aged cheddar cheese, maple bacon, red onion, house ketchup and aioli. We both chose the fries, which were nice and crispy. My sister-in-law went rogue and opted for the corn and asparagus tagliatelle ($25). She thought the taliatelle with green asparagus, hazlenut, roasted corn puree and parmesan was okay, but we could tell she envied our dishes. We didn't really come here for the food. We came for the experience. Dining atop Portland in this relatively new hotel is fun and different. After our meal, we checked out one of the balconies, which can give you a fear of heights. If you're downtown, Bellpine is a good choice.

The views, furnishings, and ambiance are what you would expect from a 2-year old Ritz dining room. I only ordered a baby romaine caesar sald and a glass of wine for dinner. The lettuce was fabulous as were the 2 or 3 croutons. The caesar dressing was completely tasteless; not a hint of anchovy. The colorful diced pepper garnish was useless and the cheap grated pecorino was tasteless. A good parmesan is basic. Thankfully, the attentive server delivered salt and pepper shakers. My glass of chardonay was agreeable, ample, and reasonably priced. I was not enthused by the trendy senseless dinner menu. It's obvious that they buy quality ingredients, but the dishes have no focus. That is unfortunate.

Date: Saturday, March 1, 2025 Time: around 2pm Party of: 3 *Baller ($28) *Black Garlic Fries ($15) *Dalwhinne 15 ($28) *Red Breast 12 ($25) After lunch, a drink was in order. I love bars with a view, so we decided to check out Bellpine. We arrived without any kind of reservation, but it wasn't busy at all, so we easily got a table by the window. In fact, I think we were the only ones here as only a small section was open. It's located in the Ritz so of course it's swanky. Plush seating along the walls. Big windows so you can enjoy the view. Lives up to its location. I decided to try the BALLER - Roku Gin | Izarra Vert Basque Liqueur | Yuzu Lemon | Egg White | Cream I Green Tea Mochi I Midori Yuzu Lime Soda | Gold Leaf. I was in the mood for something lighter and this hit the spot. And it was also sooo pretty! The boys ended up getting straight pours of whiskey / scotch. Each pour was 1.5 oz according to the menu. Drinks are pricey, but I'd definitely recommend coming by for one round if you enjoy nice views and cocktails. REVIEW #3726

Let's not review prices: it's a downtown hotel, it's the Ritz Carlton. Are you expecting value? That said, I was very pleased with the brunch salad. I topped it with a very generous portion of salmon, which was full of flavor. The brunch Chilaquiles more than satisfied. The omelette, well, nothing special. Service was excellent. The view: of course it was superb as that's what you pay for.

I wasn't impressed at all with the food at this Ritz. We did room service the night before because we were told this restaurant was fully booked on Saturday night. Both entrees we chose were on the dinner menu here: the tagliatelle and salmon. Both were not as described and bland. My salmon was gross. For breakfast we came to the restaurant and the views are lovely, tableware beautiful, and service was excellent. Our eggs, potato, toast and chicken sausage were not good. My scrambled eggs were bland and flavorless and tasted like powdered, the chicken sausage was so overcooked it was not even edible. I had three links and ate one of them the other two were hard and dry. The toast was ok. Our yogurt parfait with berry coulis and granola was good. The granola was very good. My earl grey was also good. For the prices and the bland and flavorless and low quality food, I would not recommend this restaurant at all.

First time here and it was for brunch. I was not impressed and food was average to below average compared to other brunch places. My 1 ham, egg benedict came out cold. The potatoes were good, it reminded me of potato wedges from grocery stores. Also, the portion is small compared to other brunch spots. The view is amazing and we got seated next to the window. Service was good and friendly. I do want to go back and try their dinner menu!

We celebrated fancy for our two year anniversary dinner. We ordered the Chef's Tasting menu for $120 pp (7 courses). The drinks are insanely priced here (my mocktail was $20, ouch!) but the menu was inventive & overall we had a very lovely time What we got: Albacore & Wagyu Beef Tartare // Black Garlic, Bone Marrow, Yuzu Let's Go Nut's // Lyre's Sugar Cane, Dhos Bitter Sweet Lime, Orgeat, Heavy Cream, Coconut Crab Berliner // Dungeness Crab, Yuzu Kosho, Scallion Curtido Baby Romaine Salad // Black Garlic Caesar Dressing, Peppers, Croutons, Pecorino Tempura Pumpkin Spice "Donut" // Black Garlic, Roasted Garlic Aioli, Crispy Onions, Lemon Gel ‍ Last McCall // Novo Fogo Silver Cachaça, Papaya Syrup, Lime Juice, PDX Bitters Project Bellpine Divine, Thai Basil Blossom Scallops // Mango, Wonton Crisp, Hazelnuts Beef Tataki & Walla Walla Onions // Filet Mignon, Walla Walla Onions, Teriyaki Sauce Dessert play on Eggs & Bacon // incredible, must try, 5 stars, have no idea what was in it, wow wow wow, would order again ‍ The dining room is giving ~*under a mushroom*~

I have to be honest that despite the bad reviews I came here for the views. I wanted to grab a few drinks before dinner and this seemed like a place worth trying for a special occasion. We were greeted and seated instantly and also got a sweet view . The staff was kind and efficient . The food and drinks were alright, but my gripe is with the prices. I understand it's the Ritz and I agree that such places charge exorbitant prices for average stuff . But do I have to like it ? No . I love going to a lot of High-end places and know when I am getting a good experience . I don't expect value for my money at a place like Bell Pine, for that I can go to plenty of awesome restaurants in the city . You come to a swanky place to get a top-notch experience and this wasn't it .

Been here several times already and I loved the weekend brunch and November afternoon tea. The bagel lox is big enough to share and comes with a rose cream cheese that is just so delicious with all the trimmings and smoked salmon. Came back again and had a froster banana French toast that was perfection. Never really had a bad weekend brunch here. The afternoon tea was really good too! Serving high quality savory and sweet bites that are to die for. I picked the Special Rose Tea that is made for this particular Ritz Carlton to represent the city of roses. Goes perfectly with this tea service. The scones were served with mascarpone, fresh jam, and lemon curd. There was so much food on this high tea, we took half of the desserts home. Can't wait to come back again.

Finally had the food and it was tasty. We enjoyed the variety of dishes offered and the service was top notch. Great views of downtown, it's nice for a special date night.

In. cred. Ible. This place is incredible!!! We went to Bellpine for our 5 year anniversary and we had an amazing time. You exit the elevators and walk into a modern, moody, and elegant restaurant. The restaurant is surrounded by windows with great views of the city. Our server, Craig, was fantastic. He had a great sense of humor, was very knowledgeable on the menu, and anticipated our every need. We ordered a couple of shared plates to start, and I have to say the Salmon Crudo is the best I have ever had. We then had the bone in NY strip for two, which was mouth wateringly fantastic! I would recommend this to anyone who has a special occasion or a night out they want to splurge on!

My girlfriend and I had an average to below-average experience at Bellpine on Valentine's Day. The space was gorgeous and the views were great. The drinks were overpriced for what they were but I was expecting to overpay so no real harm done there. The mac and cheese bits were tasty. What dragged down the experience was the subpar service. We sat at the bar, which at the time was less than half full (spoiler: this is important for later). We sat there for a long time before anyone even acknowledged us. When they did, they poured us some water and left. I noticed later that some new arrivals next to us were asked if they wanted sparking or still water. Why weren't we asked? Eventually we were able to place an orders but it seemed to take awhile. The drinks and food came promptly. Later I noticed that several patrons around us (and indeed the folks who sat in our seats before us) had bowls of snacks. As we were settling up I asked our waitress what they were, out of curiosity since I didn't see anything like them on the menu. She said they were complimentary nuts that everyone at the bar gets. Startled, since we weren't offered any, I remarked sadly "oh that's cool... we didn't get any, though." All she said was "oh, yeah, we're really busy". So yeah, pretty poor service experience from what we expected to be a top flight spot. We had exponentially friendlier and better service from Yamhill Pub, the dingiest bar in Portland, later that night.

Cute decor with a nice view! I feel like Bellpine is a decent addition to Portland dining, maybe we came on an off day - but I wasn't blown away with the dishes. I am willing to try again though! I came with a larger party to celebrate a friend's birthday, I believe our group was 10 / 11 people, everyone ordered cocktails and it did take a little bit to get situated and start ordering which given our party size was understandable. Angie was our server and she did a wonderful job taking the order accurately and getting food out, as well as keeping drinks coming and was friendly to our larger party. Table ordered multiple dishes, some of what I enjoyed were the scallops and the carpaccio. The steak meal was underwhelming to me, the steak itself was just alright and I didn't really care for the sides it came with with the exception of the mashed potatoes. Overall we had a great time, next time I would sit in the bar and maybe order a few appetizers rather than do the full dinner. Thank you again to Angie for taking good care of us!

I came here one evening with my boyfriend and we just got drinks at the bar. Unfortunately, at the time we came (and it also might've been because we had bar seating), there was no meals and we could just order dessert or small bites. However! We had already eaten before and just wanted to try the dessert and drinks here. The interior is dimly lit and has a beautiful view of Portland (regardless of day or night). In terms of service, the bartender was very attentive and kind, and service was quick. We ordered their dessert, "Desert", and it was very interesting. The desserts (from what I've noticed) take a more artistic style and are fun to look at. The dessert itself was pretty good, but not necessarily something that I would order again. The drinks were also pretty good too, and they offer a good variety of cocktails as well as zero proof drinks. I would love to come here to try their dinner service sometime!

Few of us ladies came for a post Christmas brunch. The hotel was still festively decorated as you make your way from the lobby to the elevator up to the restaurant. The restaurant has a wonderful view, skies were clear. Very comfortable spacing of the tables and comfortable seating. Server was right amount of attentiveness. My companions ordered duck Gillette and dungeness crab Benedict. There was two other options for crab that I was torn about and then opted for the little more adventurous one instead of the crab sandwich. I loved my choice and did a pretty good job of polishing off 85% of it since I didn't have breakfast. My friends had mimosa while I thoroughly enjoyed my pot of the rose scented tea. We were honestly quite full but wanted to end out meal with something sweet and shared this cheesecake. Very light and lovely with the pistachio mousse and berry sauce. The goat cheese flavor is not strong, just perfect amount. Highly recommend to bring someone with you to enjoy the restaurant and food.

It's a beautifully adorned bar/restaurant like one comes to expect from any Ritz and has lovely views. Bothersome is that tables next to the windows, maybe not all?, have vents with cold air blowing directly on you. Our first table was intolerable and the second better. But to have any tables next to the view with vents above blowing cold air down is just nuts. The staff acknowledged it is a problem. I had a simple Manhattan which for $25 or $28 was a bit skimpy and unremarkable if not maybe a bit over stirred making it on the watery side. The French fries were amazing and the crab sliders served in a closed box were quite nice however I wondered about the sugar topped buns which made your fingers sticky. I liked the unexpected sweetness but need to go wash my hands after one. Perhaps serve with moist towelettes as one would expect at a Ritz Carlton.

First time staying at the Ritz and booked the restaurant as a treat for the wife and my son here for an alumni performance. Not sure why the reviews are less than stellar. Everyone that greeted us from the bellhop, maitre de, busboy to our waitress was great! After all that is the Ritz experience they have to provide and we received. The food and ambience were first rate. Sadly the best window views and tables seems to be for only two and couples. The place is big enough they could mix it up a bit, but still we had wonderful NW cloudy views :D. The food was delicate, creative, tasty, no complaints. Cocktails were also excellent as was the dessert and coffee. We will be back!

Dinner at Bellpine was a holiday gift from my son. We went together and started in the bar downstairs - Meadowrue. It was quiet that evening so we sat at the bar and both ordered a mango cocktail with a smoke bubble on top. So fun! And delicious. The video shows one of us popping the bubble on our drink. For dinner we chose to share the duck Grand Dish which is served with roasted vegetables, marinated salad and yummy mashed potatoes, family style. The duck was carved table side by the manager. When I asked my son to pay special attention so he would learn to carve poultry, the manager slowed down and talked my son through the process. So kind. Everything was delicious. The restaurant has amazing views and perfect lighting. Now let's talk service. Each time I have been there, and it's been a few,I have been treated like a friend by every member of the staff. No kidding, every person - from the people watching the door, bar tenders and wait staff, hosts up in Bellpine, waiters and food runners - friendly, warm and considerate. Their term for it is 'warm hospitality' and that about sums it up. Their goal seems to be to make each customer comfortable. They knock it out of the park. Go there!

The Bellpine is located in the Ritz-Carlton and is considered their showcase restaurant. I made reservations through Open Table for a late brunch. I was unaware that we would be the last seating for brunch which became apparent due to how few people were there! I was a bit concerned because had I realized I wouldn't have booked the time. But my concern melted away because it was a very good experience. Our waiter was very polite and had a witty sense of humor. He was attentive without being over-bearing and just fun! We ordered all different dishes. I opted for a classic with a traditional eggs benedict which was very good. We shared a plate if perfectly baked pastries - they were delightful because they were scrumptious without being appetite ruining. All in all we had a great time!

I love fine dining and I don't mind paying for it, if it's delicious. I am your average Portland customer who knows good food/drinks. With that said, the only reason we'd return is for the view and maybe the salmon. The staff were excellent and the restaurant is quiet, but the food left a question mark. The cocktails were expensive ($32) for average or below average for options and taste, especially compared to Le Chon, Andina or Kann. We tried the menu pretty extensively (7 shareables, entree and desserts) The titles were definitely...unusual. Why would I come for a luxurious dining experience and want to order a "shrimp hotdog" or a play on eggs and bacon--- for dessert? I understand the desire to be innovative, but it just didn't grab us-- I was looking at the menu and not excited to order any of them. (I mean mushroom ice cream? And I love mushrooms ) It was confusing and I felt lacked a cohesive style-- is it supposed to be "Northwest" fair? It featured a lot of seafood, but in a casual way -- the lobster sliders for example (best thing we tried from the small plates). The salmon entree was delicious, and ample. Served 3 easily. I really want this restaurant to survive, but they need an authentic core that people can rave about. If it's going to be seafood, then rethink the menu so it's not such a juxtaposition. That's my two cents.

Although the food was amazing and the ambience was great the service was one of the worse I have experienced. Our server was nonexistent for most of the time we were there. It wasn't because the restaurant was busy either. Our reservation was for 6:30 and we received our food after 8:15. During that time we ask for a refill on our ice tea and we had to remind someone other than our server to get it after she was reminded 2x. She spent most of her time talking with a table of 2 people and looking at pictures. On top of this it was a milestone birthday for me and I decided I wanted to celebrate here with my family because of fond memories a year ago here. What a mistake. My husband requested a cake when he made the reservation a month in advance and reminded the restaurant when we confirmed the reservation a few days ahead. They told him it would be there. The night of the dinner he had to ask for it several times and they had to scurry to get a substitute. The last issue was the bill. When we received it, from the absent server, I believe Bella was her name, it was over charged by close to $300.00 . We had that addressed and they graciously didn't charge for the cake. Naturally they added a 20% gratuity on the bill because there was 6 of us. This normally would have been okay because I usually tip 25-30% due to the fact I appreciate good service. Not this time. I resent having to give a server a 20% gratuity when she was nonexistent throughout our meal. I was told by my family to tell them to take off the gratuity but I didn't She was so bad when other staff members brought the cake there was not a knife to cut it. We ask her for a knife and she said no problem she would get one and proceeded to go to the table with 2 people and continue to talk with them. We had to ask again only to see that the knives were kept right behind her and it would have literally taken her 30 seconds to get one. Obviously you can tell I am upset over the experience. Mostly because this was a huge birthday year for me. If you check my other reviews I usually only remark when they are good to great experiences. This was not.

Overall I was not too impressed with the flavors of the food, but I was impressed with the quality of service, the view of the city, and presentation of food. I think is definitely an "experience" type of dining. I would suggest coming with a group of people as the main is intended as "shareable" and then they have a menu for two to share. They have a massive selection of wines. They offer zero proof cocktails and wine (skipped on the Cabernet Sauvignon and try the nonalcoholic sparkling wine if you want to try a nonalcoholic wine). The pricing is on the higher side. I am indifferent about the cost versus the quality. I tried the duck croquettes, pork belly, and lobster roll. Definitely try the pork belly! The duck croquettes were okay. The lobster roll had great flavor until the random curry flavor at the bottom of the roll and the bread was on the harder rather than softer side.

I hope to update this review at some point on another visit, as one not-so-good experience isn't the end all but, yesterday's visit was just awful. Also, this review is just for the bar only. Came in with 4 friends, and yeah, it's a Saturday, so maybe another night would have been better, but a place like the Ritz, I don't think that should matter. Yes, the location and views are Nines and PCG equal or better, and the ambience and decor is stellar. And the dinner menu and photos look amazing. But, the bar food is less than dive bar quality in taste. Mac and cheese bites, Kraft-like. Sliders, dry with almost nothing on them. Dumplings, mushy, un-appetizing texture with what appeared to be tempura or crunchy bits on top, that were soggy and added nothing. Fries, over fried, good seasoning and flavor, but some were not edible and they went downhill fast. All, very pricy, which at this place is totally to be expected, but I also expected them to be good. Drinks, are of course great, but it's not hard to serve top quality wines and spirits. Service is what really put a nail in this visit. They appear to be very understaffed, which is understandable--as far as bar service, but there sure seemed to be a lot of folks doing a lot of nothing. Our bartender, which I will not name here, as it just seemed like they were having a bad, busy night, was very stressed which came across as extremely rude, but I don't think they meant for that to be the case. I think they just have some things to work out, and again, I will try again, and I'm sure this will turn out to be a great place. Oh, also kinda has an odd smell in the bar, like a sour, something is going bad somewhere kinda aroma.

I was relieved to see this place has an average of 3.3 stars. I didn't want to be the one to drag them but the Ritz Carlton really needs to bring it and they didn't. 3 stars to me is "fine". It was fine. The word I found myself reaching for during my late lunch visit was "corporate". It seemed like they took market research sessions on inoffensive color schemes, table settings, menu items and played it really safe. And that's fine. Ya know, the decor is fine, the food was ok, my drink was perfectly adequate. But it didn't shine, it didn't wow me, it wasn't remarkable. We found ourselves thinking at the end, 'I don't think I'll be back,' and it wasn't terrible or anything but you'd expect more (well at least I would) from a luxury brand like the Ritz. One area I specifically wished for more was their whiskey list. There wasn't anything rare, unusual or really even interesting. Maybe it's different with wine here but I'm not that into wine. As I looked around, I saw diners with wine, maybe this is more their lane, and not so much on cocktails. But for the Ritz, wouldn't you expect to get a cool cocktail? These were pretty predictable. It's the Ritz and all. But we're really spoiled in Portland. We have distilleries, wineries, really high caliber cocktail bars, really elegant and avant garde food and honestly Bellpine was just kinda meh. I had a pretty salad (it was artfully arranged) that didn't really blow my mind. My cocktail was fine but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. For $20 I think you can get better experiences, better drinks, better salads than this place. It lacked soul for me. No one did anything wrong but I think other places are more hungry, more charismatic, more striving than just this cash-grab of a place. If you're gonna present like a luxury brand, you gotta bring the experience. If you've been to Portland City Grill and liked it, you'll probably like this place. Similar vibe, the view is a big draw. There's valet parking in the garage and the hotel staff were all very friendly. For cocktails, I'd rather go to Fools and Horses or Mediterranean Exploration Company, for wine, I absolutely loved Heavenly Creatures and for food downtown-ish, I'm literally never disappointed by St. Jack. Bellpine has too much competition to make their entree into Portland with this level of mediocrity.

I'm not here to review the food as this place is much about the view . It's located in the Ritz Carlton so you are expected to pay top dollar for anything here . The drinks we had were absolutely delicious and the service top tier.

Right away we are impressed by the views and level of taste in this restaurant. We made a reservation on their 3rd day open. First, we would give 5 stars for service! Everyone that we had the pleasure of interacting with was sincerely kind and demonstrated world class service. There was only one bartender that evening for the whole restaurant so we only ordered one cocktail and opted for a bottle of wine. The Butter Kiss cocktail was beautiful but would not order again. On to food. We were more interested in the For the Table section and Desserts. Our favorites are the Albacore and Wagyu beef tartare and the Geoduck Buñuelo to start. Favorites for dessert are Forest, Desert, and Coast. Edible pieces of art! Recommend saving room for dessert!

My family celebrated Easter with Brunch at The Bellpine in the Ritz-Carlton, Portland. I have visited Bellpine on several occasions since the hotel opened, and the experience has been underwhelming at best. In my hope for an exceptional experience, such as visiting other RC properties, the Portland location lacks care and professionalism. The timing of the service has been off since opening day, along with the menu options and portions. These haven't been remedied since they opened in 2023. It's the RC, and there should be expectations across the company, exceptional in California, then unbearable in Portland?? This doesn't create high-level experiences or future recommendations..."I had the best experience with the service and food in Laguna; however, the service was not there in Santa Barbara." RC is a Brand, and it lacks consistency and identity. Happy to help change that- DM me.

Great dining experience at the top of the Ritz in Portland. Perfect for drinks with friends, business dinner or a special date night. The menu is simple but there are no bad choices. The steak was one of the best I've had with near perfect delivery. The experience is 5 star with pricing to match.

We went for an early Valentines celebration on the 13th, so it was pretty busy, but nonetheless our waitress was very kind, attentive and apologetic if the wait was longer than she anticipated. The restaurant itself is beautiful. We sat in the tables that were booth seating on one side and chairs on the other. While it may have seemed like it wasn't enough space between groups, it actually like we were all in our own bubble and not like we were intruding on anyone's space. Which was great! It really preserved that date atmosphere. I wish we could've gotten a look at the bar area, I heard that side was particularly beautiful. We were recommended before we left, to check out the balcony. For the food, everything was plated beautifully. I especially loved the beef tartare presentation and how the desserts represented each special part of the Pacific Northwest! For my favorite dish, it was of course the beef tartare. It had different flavor emulsions wherever you decided to scoop your next bite- the textures and flavors were delicious!! Would definitely come back for that. The reason I put 4 stars instead of 5, is because the other menu items fell a bit flat. We started off with a high, which was with the beef tartare. Next we got the crab Berliners. The flavor was quite okay, my boyfriend enjoyed it. I would say it should be eaten like a one biter- my boyfriend enjoyed it eaten that way while I had cut mine up not realizing the top and bottom buns weren't both coated in a sweet brushing of the sauce. I did get a shell in a bite as well. Next we got a gooey duck dish. It had small pieces of gooey duck on a crispy thin tart with I believe an avocado creme. Texturally, should have had more crunch factor. The avocado creme was too much in comparison to the thin pastry vessel. So if you don't like overly soft foods, this one wont be for you. Similarly, we ordered the duck dish fully expecting a few slices of duck but what we got was an eclair with a pulled pork style duck. This had to be the worst texturally for me. It was all soft mush. My boyfriend LOVES duck but that one for the both of us was a no no. The eclair was soggy from soaking up the duck fat on top of it. Was also very salty. The scallops were okay, super fatty so I didn't really enjoy it. Again, the scallops are super soft tender and buttery and adding the soft whipped cream of cherry and I believe bacon fat infused(?) it was way too heavy for a dish brought out towards the end of our meal. Beef tataki was okay, steak cooked wonderfully and the potato with salmon roe was great- reminded me a bit of an elevated bean layer dip haha. Lastly desserts were good. The pear dish is good if you enjoy very sweet treats, the white chocolate was rather sweet but the pear sorbet was nice and refreshing. The crab dessert was my favorite! It was so fun to eat and the flavors mended well together. Overall I did enjoy the experience, I would mainly go again due to how attentive the staff was in making sure we were happy and our glasses were never empty. I'd probably only go back for the food if the menu rotates.

A fine example of dining excellence. The food, service, and view were as expected...5 stars.

I liked our meal, but for a restaurant inside a hotel that is hoping for 5 stars I expected more. The staff was nice, but service seemed a little disjointed. As soon as we were seated a nice gentleman introduced himself, and said he would be our server, but that was the last we heard from him. We saw him around, but he never visited our table after that. Instead we had a female server who took our order. Two of us ordered the salmon that came with scalloped potatoes. Our friend said her potatoes were cold, and ours were lukewarm, and neither of us liked the salmon itself. It was bland and uninspiring.  We did think the view was spectacular, and the ambience was gorgeous. However, the table we were seated at was a little awkward, as it was enormous, which made it impossible to make conversation with half our party. Hence why the review is only mentioning what two of us had, as I was too far away from everyone else to hear their thoughts.  If you are considering dining here, I would give them a few months to iron out the kinks. I am sure they will be great, they just need more time.

Everything was 10/10! The service and the food was spectacular!!! This definitely the place to have an amazing time!

What a beautiful space! 21st floor of tge Ritz Carlton with floor to wall windows and a balcony. We went for breakfast on a cloudy Sunday and it's still breathtaking! Had a perfect eggs Benedict and my loved the salmon Caesar, and a bottle of Argyle bubbles. Service was excellent - attentive but not obtrusive. The rest of the hotel/ residence is extremely well done.

I was skeptical of this place because of some of the reviews I had read. I had been waiting for a while for this place to open up since my wife and I love to live it up every now and then at a swanky looking place as a brief escape from taking care of our new child. I figured the Ritz-Carlton wouldn't disappoint. We had a really great time. Bellpine did not disappoint. We sampled 6 of the entrees, 2 cocktails, a glass of wine, and a dessert. The tab came to $209 before tip, which was definitely a splurge for us, but we were satisfied with the experience. We were told that for a "full meal" we should expect to order 2-3 entrees per person (most of the menu is tapas-sized dishes), and the prices ranged from $18-$30+. The service was phenomenal. Our waiters were very attentive, never letting our water glasses get empty. They checked in with a smile at just the right frequency to let us chit chat on our date but also make sure we were taken care of in terms of having a delicious beverage to sip on. They were also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, like being able to tell me where the beef and vegetables we were eating were sourced from, and able to detail all of the different notes and flavors in some of the more intricate dishes. It was also clear that the staff had all actually sampled the food before, which in my opinion is crucial for amateur foodies like us who ask frequently for recommendations. Our marble dining table was frequently cleaned between service as well. Our entrees came out in 3 waves, and the first wave came quite promptly, as did our cocktails and wine. The ambiance was fantastic, with very comfy chairs, nice marble tables, nice romantic lighting, and gorgeous views of the city. The Salmon Crudo ($24, ~six slices) was phenomenal. Buttery, fresh King Salmon sliced thin, laying in a shallow bed of citrusy ponzu sauce with little pops of cured lemon gel. The Crab Berliners ($26, two crab rolls) were very tasty, essentially two little crab rolls in brioche buns with some sugar sprinkled on the bread to be more donut-esque. Mildly sweet, very savory fresh crab, very nice. In my opinion, this one is most likely to be the crowd pleasing, obvious choice. The Shrimp & Grits Corndog ($19, two corndogs) was decent. It's pretty much an overpriced corndog but with a shrimp sausage in the center instead of a hot dog, with some drizzles of bougie sauces on top. It's tasty but by no means special in my opinion. The Bay Shrimp & Potatoes ($19, six pieces) was nice, like elevated potato bites filled with shrimp topped with essentially a homemade ketchup. The Butternut Squash ($18, ~8 pita triangles and a medium plate of squash) was honestly the climax of the entire dinner. This thing was bonkers good even without a protein. The hazelnut butternut puree was sweet, buttery and nutty, with a little coffee aroma, and crunchy bits scattered throughout. Spread on a pita triangle, this thing was sweet an savory heaven. I would come back just for this dish. The only food item we got that we truly do not recommend is the wagyu beef waffles ($30, two waffles). It was puzzling - the waffle was not particularly great, not crunchy on the exterior nor fluffy in the interior, the beef itself, though crowned "wagyu" (from Washington state, nothing like real A5 Japanese wagyu" tasted like very plain roast beef slices, the whole dish was bland, and the waffles had hole-shaped cutouts in the center for some strange reason that turned them into waffle bagels. The dessert we got was the Forest ($14). Easily the most unique dessert I've ever eaten, designed to look like the forest floor, with pistachio mousse "moss", a mushroom-shaped shell containing chocolate and a porcini ice cream, all super unique flavors that I now know I am very into. This one definitely felt like the most "experience-y" of all of the dishes we got. The cocktails were also phenomenal and beautifully presented. The Buzz Buzz ($20) we got had a fragrant honey flavor to it that went beautifully with the Maker's Mark, and was presented in a beehive-shaped glass dome. It's served with a Szechuan flower inside that numbs the tongue slightly, akin to the Szechuan peppercorn. Very nice detail! The Butter Kiss ($18) was even better in my opinion, on the sweeter side but with a buttery, caramely richness to it. I'd call it "adult Butterbeer." My wife ordered a nice glass of Eola-Hills Pinot Noir ($16), which was of course poured at the table after she was kindly offered a tasting sample. I'm not sure where all the negative reviews come from to be honest; I understand that people may have worse-than-expected experience with service or with wait times for their food, especially at this price point, but for two pretty average people who like to go out and splurge every now and then on a nice date, we had a lot of fun and would come back!

Great views, lots of flavor. Great experience! Shareable's are great for parties.

Wonderful experience. We were pampered by staff, food was delicious, and we can't wait to return again.

Wow. Impeccable 5-star service. Beautiful atmosphere. Breathtaking views. Delicious food. Can't wait to share more about Portland's newest HOT restaurant. I highly recommend the shrimp and grits corn dog.

Great ambiance, excellent service, they truly made our anniversary celebration special. Wish the menu had some "mid sized portion" dishes, we tried a bunch of "small plates" which were all pretty good but really small.

Absolutely loved the food and service! The ambiance is beautiful and the view is impeccable! We went for lunch but I really want to go back for dinner. We loved the crab donuts, the pesto pasta (I asked for the eggplant and couscous on the side and I'm very happy they did), the burger was delicious and so was the homemade ketchup. The cheesecake was freaking delicious. They made a mocktail with ginger beer and it was incredibly delicious!!! It was lovely to meet the staff, who are all very kind and professional. Will definitely come back!

Fantastic, top notch experience of food, hospitality and spectacular view. We went for a special birthday dinner and were very warmly greeted by two hosts and shown to our lovely table. For dinner we shared the salmon and the four sides that came with it and also got two deserts. The salmon was delicious--rich and juicy with a wonderful texture. We also loved the sides of mashed potatoes with mozzarella, roasted vegetables and a tomato salad. The servings were so generous that we had enough for lunch the next day. The chocolate-mushroom desert was presented as a miniature enchanted mushroom forest which was all sweet and edible, just beautiful. Special shout-out to our server Angie, who was gracious, relaxed and responsive. After dinner we walked around the dining room a bit to look around and Angie showed us to a small outside deck from which to enjoy an even more spectacular view than we had at our table. We have both eaten at many fine restaurants in the US and in Europe and we felt this was one of the best meals with the finest hospitality that we have ever experienced. Cannot wait to go again!

The venue is really nice, especially if you're looking for a quiet meal with friends where you don't want to shout to hear each other. The food was solid. however for that price point it needed more wow and originality. The dessert was very original in presentation. and had a lot of different textures.

Booked a dinner for tonight, New Year's Eve, but my wife became too sick last night and I had to cancel this morning. Called to request a refund of the $100 deposit and they refused. Very disappointed that a restaurant of this caliber cannot show some empathy for unforeseen circumstances. They will have zero issues filling that 7:30 spot, but instead they have lost a customer for life over this!

Food was so weird. Come on... who wants Dungeness crab foam for dessert or even porcini ice cream for dessert? No one!!!! It was definitely the strangest dining experience I have had- we didn't try the portions for 2, but all of their "tapas." I was so confused and nothing was balanced - crab sandwich in a sweet doughnut??? Unsalted asparagus with beet foam?? Tartare with "micro" bread crumbs- ummmm... so micro that we had to order bread! Scallops with whipped cream seasoned with bacon???? Lobster that had so much curry flavor there was nothing to taste. Geoduck with so much lime that you couldn't taste anything. What!? Why?? Come on... you have a beautiful dining room just go classic French... why try to do fusion???? I think that's what you're doing??. Service was awesome- that was the only redeeming experience! I felt like they were embarrassed by the food.

Was promised window view, then refused upon arrival. Planned on sitting overlooking city at night, then was told all city view tables were booked even though there were clearly many available- and had to look at empty city view tables go unused throughout my meal. Very disappointed and snooty condescending attitude of staff throughout service left much to be desired.

Came here for my birthday and it was lovely! Great view, service, drinks and food. We did tapas style and tried 6 small plates and 2 desserts. Definitely pricey, but the service was outstanding and the food was inventive and tasty.

Service at Bellpine is exceptional. Our server was Angie and she is wonderful. Great personality and also so professional. We were seated by the window which had a lovely view. Our drinks were very lovely. Theodore at the bar made my husbands drink to his liking and was so sweet to even write down what he used and how to make it. The food was great. We ordered the Salmon crudo, scallops, rosti potatoes and the asparagus and mushrooms to start with. The only thing we did not enjoy was the asparagus and mushrooms, they were very heavy on the salt and too salty to eat. Everything else was very good. As our main, we chose the Wagyu. It was cooked perfectly to our liking and the side dishes that came with it was very delicious and paired well. The desserts were really delicious as well. Our overall experience was very wonderful. Everyone was very nice, happy and very attentive. The service provided really lived up to the Ritz name.

We recently stayed at the lovely Ritz Carlton in Portland. Unfortunately, the Bellpine restaurant was a big disappointment. We had breakfast/brunch on Sunday. Service and food was less than satisfactory. Our omelets, Eggs Benedict were lukewarm warm. The food was bland without seasoning and presentation was seriously lacking. Service was poor as well. We'll stay at the Ritz again but doubt we'll dine at Bellpine.

Great view and service. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Recommend the crab sandwich!

Enjoyed a recent lunch at Bellpine. Olive oil Old Fashioned was original and delicious. Mushroom and burrata toast with fries was excellent as were the gazpacho and tagliatelle pasta. Prices were in keeping with a hotel location. An appetizer and a main were served at the same time. Another main was placed in the middle of the table, presumably for sharing. Staff were very friendly. Lunch for two was $114 with tip.
