The Tavern at Heathman

We were going to an event at the Schnitz and decided to come in here for dinner first. Great decision!We were on the restaurant side as we weren't drinking. The decor is modern and classy. Casual or formal fits here.We started with the smoked salmon dip. The chips are homemade and really tasty. The dip was addicting. Wasn't sure at first, but we all really liked it. Our friends had the salmon and smoked chicken - both loved their meals. My wife ordered their house pasta. It is slightly spicy with lamb meatballs. Amazing! Really good!I decided to try their burger. OMG! This is literally a perfect burger. I added bacon, which was great. (I'm not sure it was needed, but it was good.) High-quality meat, great cheese, great sauce, and I think homemade pickles. Just a phenomenal burger! We'll come back as everything was good- but I can't wait to get another burger here!

Stopped in for Mercury's Summer of Slushies (I recommend skipping the slush here- other delicious cocktails await) before a show. Angelica was absolutely amazing, so kind, and hard at work while the bar started to fill in. Between making cocktails for guests in their suites and entertaining her patrons at the bar, she's a wizard, spreading her magic. Service superb!With only 20 mins until the show, bread du jour came out fast and would have to be my FAVORITE. WOW! Who knew bread and butter would steal the show? I'm coming back to try their main dishes, if the bread came out like Michelin star, pffft. I wanted a pretty drink and Angelica recommended the Citrus Garden. I asked if it came with a flower and to my surprise- the bar had flowers!! Naturally I asked for them, because I like a gorgeous cocktail in hand. Thanks for making my night and birthday month SPESH. To your manager, Angelica, give her a raise, second- (bar manager) start adding flowers to "Citrus Garden." Pleaseeeee.

The food, service and ambience does not get better than this tavern adjacent to the Heathman hotel.Our breakfast was beyond the pale delicious. The salmon hash with an egg on top was wonderful. But even better was the yogurt made on the premises with a little bit of honey, and mango purée homemade granola (so much better than my own) and freshly cut, peaches and nectarines. This is what dreams are made of.

Great ambience, location, quiet room last night. Just a great treat.We had the best after dinner cocktails while having a great conversation at the bar. So grateful to have a restaurant back here.Highly recommend!

Cutest date night spot! This is a newer restaurant and everything on the menu sounds great! Ive tried many things on the menu and I've had breakfast and dinner here and it did not disappoint. I've tried the salmon hash, the French toast and the breakfast sandwich. All so good! The dinner menu is definitely upscale. But i stepped out of my comfort zone and i was so glad i did. My favorites had to be the salmon appetizer, the chicken, steak and the salad! Everything tastes so fresh. The presentation is also 10/10. From the meals to the dessert and even the drinks. The service is also amazing and my water glass was never empty.

Nice atmosphere, good food, nice servers. We were at the Heathman for a concert so it was great to dine and then walk to the concert.

We came here for breakfast. Great service! Great ambiance! We all loved our meals. I like the breakfast sandwich, my husband loved the salmon hash and the kids loved the French toast. I would recommend for breakfast.

The Tavern is a cool spot. So nice that it's attached to the Heathman. I didn't have a drink as I did NOT need anything else lol but my husband got an old fashioned and I did have a sip and it was delicious. We had some cauliflower dish with tofu sauce for a snack and fries. Both were very good. The bar itself is pretty modern and new. Very good service. It's a higher end clientele they appeal to but it is NOT a snobby bar. It's definitely upscale but I felt very comfortable there and even chatted up a single woman who was there for a cocktail after David Sedaris (Ike my husband and I were,) and she told me how she spends every Christmas season with her mom and they attend the Heathman Christmas Tea. So I got some Portland history too. I would definitely go back because the bar staff know their drinks and how to make excellent cocktails. And they were very nice too.

Food seems wildly over priced for what it is. A lot of fancy descriptions and mediocre at best. 4 of us had a light dinner for 225.00 you can certainly do better with all of the downtown pdx offerings...

It's not a "tavern". It's a very plain hotel restaurant/bar that might seem like a tavern after several drinks.The bar is unfriendly, esp the bartender.When I was there, the bar was staffed by two people. One was an I'll tempered bartender, the other literally couldn't make the most basic of drinks.
