We went the night before Valentine's Day and had a phenomenal meal. We have been to The Grill Room many times and don't ever have a bad meal there. They are one of our go-to restaurants because of this. If you can get a seat at the kitchen, do it and watch the chefs do their thing. You can also sit at bar if tables are full. I had the hangar steak entree with chimichurri and it was packed with flavor. Perfectly cooked steak! I also got the spicy broccolini, which was still crisp and had a good kick. My husband had the duck. If you don't think you like duck, you haven't tried it here! Best duck we have had with no gamey taste. Dessert was an excellent crème brûlée. Very professional waitstaff who are very good at their jobs. Highly recommend the Grill Room for a nice meal in Portland. There is a reason it has been around as long as it has!

Dined here last night with my wife. Always been a favorite of ours & for some reason we have not been here in some time for no particular reason. Both of us had great meals. I normally get the hanger steak, but my wife did instead vs a different cut,of red meat and it was incredibly tender & juicy. You almost didn't need a knife to cut it. I ordered the duck meal. Not something I normally order but the one of the time I had it was here a few years ago and it was fantastic then and once again it did not disappoint. A few other times I have had duck it was outside of here at a formal event like a wedding, and it was greasy or swimming and some sort of a glaze. It was not greasy and honestly I'm not sure you could even tell it was duck, fantastic dish,. We shared a crème brûlée dessert, and it was amazing as well. I don't give out 5 star reviews very often yet our meals and dessert exceeded our expectations. Look forward to going back. I think the only constructive feedback I may have is it was fairly dark in here leaving us both to use our phones flashlight to read the menu.

Great food awesome service 10/10 would recommend. Old fashioned packs a punch woweee!!!!!

I have always loved The Grill Room. The service has always been impeccable. I have always made a reservation and it's always been ready within 10-15 mins of the reservation, even if we arrive early. They have some rotating specials, but the entrees usually remain the same. I was there for my relationship 3 year anniversary. We were offered complimentary Prosecco or dessert- knowing the portion sizes we opted for the Prosecco. We each got a draught drink - me cider and my boyfriend an Austin street beer. We got a half dozen oysters (2 of each location/type) as our app which came with cocktail sauce, vinegar, and a ginger/horseradish combo. We gave each oyster a hit of lemon plus additional sauces we wanted. They really hit the spot. They all were fresh and delicious. It's a very expensive, romantic location with dim lit space for ambiance. They have bar seating, regular dining room seating, and a special 4-top bar seating by the kitchen. We were sat near the kitchen but at our own table. Our server was well informed on the menu. He was super accommodating and helpful. For entrees we got a bacon wrapped filet special and the hangar steak entree. Both were fantastic. The service was quick and awesome. The food and drinks were expensive but absolutely delicious. This is our second year in a row going here for our anniversary. It has not disappointed. I would definitely recommend The Grill Room for a fancy, expensive meat/seafood dinner. 100% worth the money.

I enjoyed it here a lot for my 24th birthday but they gave us a table that was next to a huge party of 6-8 when we were only 2, and being so close to the kitchen meant we could barely have a conversation. The spicy broccolini on the new york strip ruined it completely. The food was very good and it's a fantastic place for quality, casual food at a quick pace. The open kitchen is lovely and it's a firey atmosphere. Not sure if I'd come back but maybe for another special occasion if we could get a better table.

It was our first night on our vacation in Portland and let's just say a lot of the restaurants we went to after we came here had a tough act to follow. We made a late reservation on OpenTable but came a little earlier, expecting that we may have had to wait, however we were able to get seated outside very quickly. Our server was very friendly and attentive, making great menu recommendations and was very engaging with us. We started with half a dozen oysters and their beef tartare. My fiancé loved her oysters and the beef tartare was amazing, the seasoning and the sauce for the tartare was on point. For our entrees, we ordered a NY strip, Filet mignon and three of their sides (lobster mashed potatoes, Brussel sprouts and bacon and a popover). Everything was cooked to perfection, they even had us cut into our steaks to make sure it was perfect. We cleaned every plate they gave us and we even had their delicious crème brûlée for dessert. This place is without question, Portland's top steakhouse. If you haven't been here before, you definitely need to come here for dinner. When we're back in Portland, we'll definitely be back in for the best steaks in Portland.

One of my favorite restaurants in Portland. Perfect and cozy for winter and then they have outside seating in the summer. We always sit at the bar, which is a must. The bar tenders are always nice and the service is great. Their happy hour from 4-6 is the best with 5 dollar drinks and cheap appetizers. The bang bang shrimp is my favorite. The steak is amazing and all the food is really good. The drinks are also great and they have one of my favorite wines. This is a favorite and will continue to come back!
