The Heathman Restaurant

We will be back!

by glo888 at Citysearch

To our surprise, my boyfriend and I had a spectacular lunch today at the Heathman! Having gone to many of the top restaurants in Portland, the Heathman offers a great lunch menu selection. We had the bacon crusted salmon and the halibut cheeks for lunch. Then followed with a lovely tiramisu and a decadent chocolate dessert. I highly recommend this as an option for the downtown business lunch goers. If you are looking for a great menu selection and service you can tell your mom about, please try it! My compliments to Michael the GM!!!

• Pros: Menu Selection, Excellent Service

Good for Breakfast

by jeimz at Citysearch

I've only eaten at the Heathman Restaurant at breakfast, but have been several times. I have mixed feelings.

The service has always been good, and I've never experienced any problems with noise before, unlike some other reviewers.

I loved the dungeness crab omelettes and smoothies, but one time I strayed from my usual order in favor of the salmon hash, which was, unfortunately, dry and virtually tasteless. So, I'd give 4 of my visits an (8) and 1 of my visits a (3). The food is very good, although not incredibly so, and comes in large, reasonably priced portions.

• Pros: service, ambience
• Cons: hit-or-miss quality

A high priced cafeteria.

by awisemansaid at Citysearch

A real disapointment. On the outside it seems so regal and elegant. I wanted to take my speacial woman someplace romantic a few nights ago and I norrowed it down to the heathman. The noise was almost to much to bear. It was very crowded. The service, slow, and not at all romantic. The food?Just okay. This place seemes to be a high priced cafeteria where portland elites dine after a concert or show.

I was tempted to leave throughout dinner.

I wished I would have chosen another place.

• Pros: good location
• Cons: crowded, expensive, loud

why heathman?

by AimeePang at Citysearch

The experience that I had with the Heathman Restaurant was nothing like I imagined. From the outside looking in, the restaurant's atmosphere and the reputation of the hotel, did not reflect my experience. I indeed thought that the service was rather slow, getting our food took some time, the place was noisy and the overall feel was dreadful. The only thing that was great was the food-Excelent culinary creativity.

Martinis to die for

by jimbobway1 at Citysearch

It is a nice change of pace to find an establishment that truly knows how to make a proper martini. Dry means swirl around the vodka in the glass and toss it out. Doesn't seem that confusing! The Heathman makes the perfect vodka martini, and their cosmopolitans are top notch as well. Also if your looking for a place that serves an extraordinary brunch the Heathman is also your place to go. Thumbs up on the Eggs Benedict!

• Pros: Ambience, Martinis (Gray Goose), Brunch
• Cons: Slightly pricey, But Oh well

Fallen from grace

by ktaylorbrown at Citysearch

We ate the Heathman for our anniversary in December of 2001. The food was wonderful, and the service was excellent. However, this December (2002) was a completely different experience. Our french toast was just this side of burnt, as were our potatoes. The ribeye steak was so fatty and underdone that neither of us could eat much of it. And once the water, juice, and coffee were delivered to our table, not a single refill was ever offered. Never again.

yeah, Heathman!!

I would like to say first that the Heathman is a great spot for a casual bite (prawn salad at the bar), and it offers the best service in town. All of the servers go out of their way to make you feel pampered. Dishes like the Octopus salad, and the Sturgeon are some of the best I have ever had.

Great brunch

by jennifertom_citysearch at Citysearch

I haven't had dinner here in awhile, but the brunches I can attest for. Crabcakes are the best I've had in Portland, and the eggs Benedict and salmon hash are excellent. It's a bit more expensive as far as bruch goes, but the quality is there.
