Editorial Review for Bluehour – by Ivy Manning and Annamaria Pardini

In Short
The restaurant's voluminous urban space features soaring ceilings, warmed by gold and blue light, flowing floor-to-ceiling slate gray curtains and relaxing mood music. Stylish patrons dine in the sophisticated, proper white tableclothed dining room or enjoy a drink at the restaurant's chic bar. Entrees include ravioli stuffed with braised veal and black truffle or a wild-mushroom and chard tart ringed with basil, red pepper and aioli sauces. For dessert, there's panna cotta with cherries.

Bluehour is the best place in Portland! Hands down. Service, food, atmosphere and location are all in Bluehour's favor. I dine here regularly. Sometimes for a deal at happy hour, but most of the time for dinners with friends and first dates. This place always impresses me!

My boyfriend and I were not impressed with Bluehour the night we went there for dinner. The place was WAY too crowded and the table they sat us in was so small and right in the middle of the room. Unfortunately we were not able to have a conversation that evening because it was so hard to hear. We were practically screaming at each other. Our waiter was rude and non-existent. The food was decent enough, but I would like to enjoy everything. The decor is pretty to look at, but does that really make a great restaurant? If I am going to go out for a nice dinner, I would rather go somewhere where you can actually hear the people you are dining with, and the waitstaff is more attentive. I just can't see what all the hype is about.
