Not a frequent visitor, but the last time I went there I got nice quick service, and a darn good burger!

Normally this is just the type of place I avoid... big crowd waiting in the lobby and overpriced menu. But I had a $15 coupon, so we went. Stanford's has a chain restaurant vibe and seems to attract the corpulent crowd in large numbers. So much for the recession. On a Sunday evening we waited 30 minutes for a table and then another 15 to place our order. The food was okay, but when I'm paying $24 for a piece of fish, I want to be dazzled. My husband ordered the stuffed trout, which he hated. Kids' menu meals are $7. Service was sluggish and our waitress seemed overwhelmed. We gobbled our food when it arrived just so we could get out of there. Arrival to hasty departure was 1 hour and 40 minutes. We will never return.

I've been patronizing Stanford's restaurants in Portland for years and have always considered Stanford's one of my favorite restaurants as it had consistenly good food at fair prices. Over the past two years they have gone straight down hill. I've been told that they are under new ownership and it definately shows. the menu prices have increased by at least 20% and the new menu items are TERRIBLE. I mean literally, TGIF's would be a better choice now. In the last 4 visits my meals have consisted of: A fried trout with some chile\chipotle sauce ??? are you serious? the WORST Fish and Chips I've EVER had. I mean literally out of a box from Winco would be superior. A Braised short rib that was nearly 50% fat A dessert of deep fried snickers bars....lolol now THAT is creative I guess...but ICK A "Special" for $25 that consisted of 1 skewer of various seafood items on a bed of rice (that's it) Every one of these items was a culinary nightmare. We keep going back on the hope that it's a "quirk". I mean...Stanfords has been very hard to beat in pdx for ages. I used to think it was up there with McCormicks. Now it couldnt mop mcCormicks floors. The courses dont even come with side dishes any more. It seems mostly ala carte. This is normal for an upscale steak joint like the Ringside or El Gaucho, but Stanfords is NO EL GAUCHO !!!! I Quality meal at Stanfords used to average about $25-$30 per person. Now you'll spend at least $40 per person. SIMPLY NOT WORTH IT. We've officially thrown in the towl and will NOT be back. Stanfords You can keep your chipotle fried trout.....I'm heading to McCormicks or even Elmer's for cryin out loud
