    Classic Oregon, honestly classic dining anywhere you are from. Higgins always has something to offer. Exceptional and timeless but at the same time there is always something new. Seasonality plays an important roll in the entire program from beverages to food and decor. Higgins can be as casual (at the bar) or as formal as anywhere in Portland and still have some of the best food in town. I don't have a doubt that if James Beard was still around, this is where you would find him at least once a week. Our Service was exceptional, as always, and every bite has me craving to go right back for more.

    Was visiting crime out of town and this restaurant was recommended. Initially was not excited about the menu as there were not a lot of options for my wife and I. I probably should have looked at the menus prior, and probably wouldn’t have gone Fortunately the “specials” were more to our liking and they were very good and done well. I had halibut and my wife had the filet. The halibut was $60 and the filet $80. Seemed a bit steep and our server didn’t indicate the prices during her description. Overall it was it was a good experience but I did think it was a bit much when I got the bill

    Our meal was wonderful and memorable. The next day, I was reliving the joy of it. Our server, Josh, was terrific and personable. I can't wait to go back.

    The decor is always elegant and the flickering lights add a certain je ne sais pas. We loved seeing all of our friends who make the restaurant work like a clock but we never feel rushed.

    Classic, old school place with highly professional wait staff, terrific but not fru fru food preparations, and solid beer and wine lists. One of the best looking bars in Portland. And NOT noisy! I have yet to encounter a tableful of drunk twentysomething year old girls or self-absorbed bros who think that everyone else in the room needs to benefit from their brilliant insights.

    The quality and ingenuity of the recipes and ingredients is unsurpassable. The staff are perfect, efficient and knowledgeable, with a friendliness that sets a comfortable atmosphere in which to enjoy the above. Each visit makes us more excited about the opening of The James Beard Public Market, of which Greg Higgins has been the catalyst. Downtown Portland has had some tough times, but thank Heavens for Higgins.
