Editorial Review for Portland Steak & Chophouse – by Jenny Tom
In Short
Classy and clubby, with red-leather booths, mahogany woodwork and crisp linens, this bistro draws a steady stream of locals and business people from the adjoining Embassy Suites. Steering away from an a la carte menu, dinners here include a salad, potato and vegetable--usually asparagus. Appetizers include oysters Rockefeller and roasted mussels in a garlicky wine broth. The blue cheese sirloin and hazelnut-crusted lamb chops are popular entrees while the homemade cheesecake is the dessert star.

The food is awful. We ordered the crab cakes which were drowned in sauce, which ruined the dish. Stay away from the french onion soup, any normal person would only be able to stand a few spoonfulls before the salty richness makes you want to run to the toilet. Imagine eating melted butter with cheese and you may get some slight indication of what this unpleasant soup is like. My girlfriend ordered the Prime Rib, their "signature dish," which was entirely too salty with heinous mashed potatoes. I had the lamb chops which came out not medium rare as I had ordered, but BARELY SEARED. It was like they had mistaken lamb chops for ahi tuna. I sent the dish back and they finally got the temperature right but it was still very bland and tasted terrible. If you want lamb of this quality, book a ticket to london on british airways. Their lamb chops on my recent flight there were about the same...if not better.

We ate at the Portland Steak & Chophouse tonight. We were seated right away at 6pm without a reservation on a Saturday night. The menu was limited in choices (this is a steakhouse right? only 4 steaks?) and while there were creative options, they seemed to be misdirected. The ambiance was nice but the blue glassware was odd. Our server was awesome. She was very nice and everything was right on time. We've been to many steakhouses before and were not impressed with our food. It was very salty. My steak was cooked perfectly (though salty) but my boyfriend's prime rib tasted like some kind of generic, very dry roast beef. We cook better at home. We were disappointed and won't go there again. It's too bad because I really wanted to love it!
Pros: Service, ambiance
Cons: Food, value, menu selections
