Dossier

Classy vibes with good food. I was staying at the Dossier Hotel and went down for breakfast. We seated ourselves and were helped nearly immediately. Our server was friendly and attentive. I ordered the Lemon Crepes which she said were a favorite. They were delightful. The crepes were light and the lemon filling was slightly sweet, the yogurt and tangerine slices on top took the edge off both the tartness and sweetness of the lemon. It was a surprisingly refreshing meal. The dining area is just cool. It's clean, with a nice bar, plenty of seats, and windows all around. In general, for what it is, I feel like they do a good job. They were quick, the food was good, the decor was well thought out. In general it was a really good experience!

Food: The steak had amazing flavor but it was cold. The cauliflower with blue cheese was horrible but it was also freezing cold. Ambiance: Super cute & cozy space! Service: I asked for a plate and utensils & it took forever to arrive. I was given the plate with no utensils. When I asked again it was 15 minutes to get utensils. I still tipped 20% because I figured it was just a bad day. Hopefully you have a different experience!

The first thing you'll (probably) notice is the high ceiling. Adler's inside design is pared-back, but has a sophisticated feel with grey walls, some metal accents and light woods on Alder St. in Downtown Portland, OR. Despite located on the ground floor of the Dossier Hotel- where we've stayed on previous trips, you can still come to Adler to enjoy happy hour, light bites, some dinner items, dessert and of course, cocktails. Bartender Matt was smooth with his shaking skills and concoctions on a Saturday night to pre-celebrate our daughter's graduation the following day. We brought a 'cheese plate' to our room which barely looked the part. Some of the cheeses were reasonably sized- but others were like the size of my thumbnail ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It lacked. Would the cheese plate be different and better to look at if we stayed here to enjoy it instead of taking it to our room in a small to-go box? Regardless, Adler is a cozy spot to linger.

BISTRO ALDER - holy rolly polly - best gnocchi, best bolognese I have EVER had. The flavor! I ate as much as I physically could and then some. Blistered green beans were in an amazing sauce I don't even know what to compare it to. This chef is 1000000/10 Atmosphere is great, date, business or solo dining great vibe.

A great spot for drinks and small bites! My family and I came in on Christmas Day and really enjoyed our experience.Service: our server was very polite and welcoming. The service was pretty quick for a small staff working the holiday, and the food came out on a rolling basis. Ambiance: the dim lighting, bar, and seating set the perfect ambiance for nice appetizers and drinks. Food: the food was excellent. The steak, chicken skewers, chorizo & shrimp arroz, brussel sprouts, deviled eggs, and chocolate torte were all winners!! We ordered almost all the small plates and enjoyed every single one. Drinks: I ordered the alder cocktail and really enjoyed it. It was refreshing and perfectly sweet. My mom ordered the lavender espresso martini and really liked it as well. It was a little too bitter for me, but otherwise we loved everything we tried! Overall, I highly recommend Bar Alder for a date night/girls night to grab some drinks and tasty bites. Will definitely be back!

Laid back bar restaurant attached to a downtown hotel. Staff were friendly and the decor inside the bar is pretty cool - you feel like you are walking into the past. The food was average at best and I recommend you stick with the basics. You are probably better off to go here for a drink.

This place is a great find! Amazing staff, delicious food and always great energy. The burgers are my fave and get them every time.

We were looking forward to trying out the brunch food, but based on the server's terrible attitude, we decided it was not worth it. When we walked into the restaurant, there was only one other party standing at the bar and a lone patron sitting at a table. When the bartender came to take our drink order, she was visibly annoyed with us and made it known that she did not want us there. We asked for a drink menu, and she responded with a rude, "It's right there." She rolled her eyes multiple times in front of us and spoke to us as if we were an inconvenience. We decided to go across the street to Bullard where the service was amazing and they didn't make me feel like my business was a burden. Visit: 03/30/2023

First time visiting and what a delightful atmosphere. We came for an early dinner around 4:30pm and tried several dishes, the deviled eggs and sliders were a few favorites. The charcuterie board was just okay, not worth the price imo. Service was okay, attentive at first but dwindled and were left with empty drinks and seeking our server for a good 25 minutes. I'd definitely come back as there are several other tapas options I'd love to try.

Service was friendly and fast, Eggs Benedict and breakfast sandwich were delicious. I recommend this place.
