About this business
Portlanders have long awaited this restaurant since the owner closed Zefiro's. Portland's most elite are again hob-nobbing with each other amidst elegant and trendy surroundings. From the high ceilings to the opulent, mirror-bedecked restrooms, nothing has been overlooked. Wine is available from nearly any region or stick with your usual cocktail from the full bar. Poultry and seafood dominate the expansive menu, but you can also find plenty of pasta and beef. Be sure to leave room for an impressive dessert; like its predece... read more

Fabulous! – I love taking my out of town clients to Bluehour. They are always very pleased to see that Portland has such world-class food.
Keep your Expectations LOW – Keep your expectations well below standard to avoid let down. Food was good, not exceptional. Service was POOR. We arrived 10 minutes prior to reservation time, expected a wait, but 35 minutes is unexceptable. Only once did the hostess check on us. There was no room in the bar, only enough for 1 and there were 2 of us. This was a special occasion, ruined by rude bar and waitstaff. We were NEVER offered a drink or menu while we waited. We almost walked out, but wanted to see what the hype was abou... read more
Cosmo – Bluehour has the best cosmopolitan in town. I've tried them everywhere, but none compare. As I've only dined formally (not at the bar for the fondue) once, I can't say I know enough about the food, but service was excellent, they provided us an appetizer on the house in the bar as our table was not ready in time. Now that's how to do business! Try the caesar salad for two! It's decadent.
Food is a 10, .....BUT – Been to Bluehour a few times, but recently the service is absymal. Attention is desperately needed to fix the problems. Our water ran dry several times, they forgot to bring the coffee we ordered (twice). To top it off, when our food arrived, we had no silverware. When we asked, they promply brought utencils and were very apologetic. The building is spectacular, but ruined by very loud "techno-like" music. If I was 20-something, I wouldn't be bothered, but the more sophisticated crowd are annoyed. We... read more
Slipping . . . – Bluehour is one of my favorites, but last Saturday was a little disappointing. They insisted on 7:45pm instead of my requested 8pm reservation, then wouldn't seat us until 8:20. Plus, I was being pushed by the bar waitress each time she walked by. I usually appreciate the slower pace between courses, but we were left for long periods of time without food or drink. The food didn't meet it's usual standard and my fish was dry. We will still go back, but I won't set my expectations so high.
Wonderful experience! – As a Southern Californian, I don't think Portlanders know how good they have it. I just had an amazing Saturday night dinner at Bluehour; the food was spectacular, the service was flawless, and there was absolutely none of the ridiculous attitude that a restaurant like this would have here in SoCal. The staff was genuinely gracious while still being stylish and hip. Our only quibble was that several other groups of patrons were there in grungy jeans or too-casual outfits. The majority in the dining ro... read more
Portland Gem – One of Portland's power lunch venues, to be sure. We enjoyed the dungeness crab salad sandwich (to die for). The chicken salad sandwich was also tasty but the cheese overpowered the delicate chicken flavors. Hand-made potato chips were fun & innovative. Carrot ginger soup was very good although I think mine is better. Very inquisitive fellow diners (think: LA lunch crowd without the attitude).
Underrated – It is tough to replicate Zefiro's success, and it isn't easy to create in Portland a cool environment for the hip crowd, the beautiful people. They pulled it off. Though so much coolness -borderline discomfort- may put some people off, it is well worth getting over it, and getting in. The food is delicious and well prepared. In small portions, the plates all come out perfect. Flavors and textures are classic and refined at the same time (e.g.: gnocchi appetizer). Nothing exotic - good French/New York fare, well ... read more
Lovely & Amazing – It's easy to see why this place is so busy and well liked. The cuisine is unlike any other in the city - the restraint and flavor is unmatched. The decor makes me feel like "this place gets it." I'm not a happy hour goer but I will say that if you must, this is the place to get it. The selection and the prices are incredible. Where else can you get a bruschetta trio (one including grilled steak with black truffles) for under $5.00? Amazing. Anyone who thinks that the price is too high is blind. I've spent ... read more
