Meriwether's Restaurant & Skyline Farm

I'll start with what I love about it: the building! And the outdoor seating is beautiful. They will be closed after Mother's Day weekend to build a new building. Will still host private events in this historic location. I don't love the prices . It's way too expensive for the food. Not much is offered on the plate as far as flavor . I had the chicken and waffles for brunch and was underwhelmed. It was so dry. A tiny ( one cup size) fresh squeezed orange juice is $5! I've been there a few years ago and loved it, went last week and everything wasn't how I remembered. Hope the new location will take some of these reviews into consideration.

The food is good but it isn't going to blow your mind for the price you pay for it. Service is not the best it took forever to get seated even though there were so many tables open and then it took awhile before we got any drinks. We weren't very happy with the hostess, we asked about happy hour and she didn't acknowledge what we said at all, come to find out they do not have HH during the weekend but we stayed for dinner anyways. Have been here for happy hour before and the service was a lot quicker.

I came here because it was highly recommended, and I am very disappointed. I ordered the bread dish as an appetizer, which tasted fine, but was only a meager four pieces of bread with oil. ( house made focaccia 5.50$) Most nicer places tend to be able to accommodate guests with complimentary bread, but not here. The bread was 5.50 too much. Then I had a salad which was way overpriced considering it was only 8 pieces of lettuce, sliced carrots and sliced radishes. It was covered in a very bitter dressing that was not at all appetizing. (farmhouse salad 12.5$)Then for the grand disappointment, i ordered one of the two pasta options. It was the Mezza Luna ravioli, and it was a sad sight. We counted a total of seven ravioli pieces. Seven pieces of pasta for 27$!The flavor was good however the sad amount of pasta made it totally not worth it. I was still super hungry after so i walked across the street to "The Gold" which is a Mexican restaurant. So if you're hungry after your Meriwether's dinner, try going across the street!

This takes the top spot for our favorite restaurant! I can't say enough about this place. They have their own farm for local fresh and creative produce which leads to their seasonal and tasty recipes that are just excellent! The staff makes you really feel at home and comfortable there. The place is lit with low warm lighting and the decor is a perfect mix of comfortable with stylish - very well done. I hear the patio is amazing. This place is the perfect place for a drinks, business meetings, a family meal or a romantic date. You will be guaranteed to get high quality and nutritious food with five-star recipes. I would be a regular if I could afford it... the prices are what you would expect for a restaurant of this caliber. I have been to many others of this price range but none could compare to the level of this place!

Just went here for my birthday. It was quite expensive, but you're paying for quality here. The food is made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and the tastes go well together. I liked the way a lot of the dishes seemed really creative (I'd have never thought to include pickled cherries but they sure were tasty!). The drinks there are great too, not too sweet. I also appreciated the subdued but not stiflingly fancy atmosphere. Obviously, you'll want to make reservations if you're working on a specific timetable or have a larger party. On a side note, the location is nice and has good parking, is readily accessible by public transit, and less than 10 minutes away from a lot of interesting shops over in the Northwest district; this is useful if you want to make a full day of your visit to Portland. Summary: All the buzz I'd heard was right, and it's great for any celebrations, just be prepared to either spend a lot or split the bill.

Hardly any food for what you pay.. not worth it. Crazy small restrooms and 2% surcharge due to minimum wage increase. Not recommended.. although the ambiance is nice.

Instantly noticed the interesting and fun interior that dates back to many years ago but still feels kept up to date. The menu was very impressive, and came with an insert that explained that current fresh produce from their farms. The menu also called out their sources for various ingredients like cheeses. The pantry plate was a wonderful way to try a bunch of their different small dishes. I got the mushroom risotto and it was prepared fantastically! My only qualm was the attitude from the waitress upon inquiring about adding some chicken to our salad and splitting our check. She seemed very annoyed with what I felt were reasonable requests, but maybe she was just having a bad shift? Overall awesome dining experience! Great food for the price. I will most certainly be returning here to try more items from the menu!

If you like being over-charged for under-whelming service, this place is for you. Pretentious and overpriced. The food is good, but does not merit the prices. Dish choices are rather limited. The first impression is ruined by unfriendly hostesses with an attitude. Does it really take three people to manage a reservation list? Customers with a prior reservation still have to wait, even though the restaurant is mostly empty inside. No choice of inside versus outside seating is offered, in spite of tables availability. One of the few truly disappointing experiences in Portland, OR.
