I have been to Savoy many times, almost always enjoyed the food, recommended it often and made it a point to take visitors there. But the last few times I've been, the staff has been so rude and inattentive that I can't make any more excuses to return. Last night our waitress basically ignored us, and had no interest in checking to see if we needed drinks, or water for that matter. The real kicker was when we were ready to settle up. Our party of 7 split the bill across 3 credit cards, which a different server than our own picked up and said was fine, helpful even, then we get the bill brought back to us by another server, who without comment rudely throws the check on the table which he had scrawled a passive-aggressive circle around a note on the receipt requesting no more than two cards per party. After we had already over-tipped on bad service, this snarky action was the last straw. Portland has too many great restaurants with far superior service - spend your money somewhere that deserves it. The servers at Savoy obviously feel like they don't need to impress anyone but themselves.
Pros: great food
Cons: awful, condescending staff
