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

Not impressed – The first thing I noticed about Bluehour was the thick ambiance of insecure people trying too hard be cool (customers and wait staff alike). Im sorry, but it in my opinion, Bluehour is dull. Oh, and the food is just as dull.
Feeling Blue – Started off good in the bar, crowded with people dressed up for a night out. We were seated about 30 minutes after our reservation time. Then when I asked for my fish without the Buerre Blanc the waitress rudely said "What's your problem with butter!?"...quite off-putting. She was unfriendly and unhelpful and left us with very negative feelings about the infamous Blue Hour!
Don't get sucked in by the ambience – I want to like Bluehour. Really. It's a swank place with great ambience. If only the service weren't so unacceptable, so appalling. I always waited at least 45 minutes AFTER the time for which my party had made reservations to be seated, and cinsistently received inattentive, even rude, service. If only the food were consistent (the scallops made me go back the second time, but were tough and lacked flavor the second visit) If only the waiters weren't so pretentious and unknowledgeable. ... read more
Nice Evening – I rated Bluehour an overall 7. The food was excellent. However very small portions. The wait staff was excellent! When it became busy around 7:00pm we were somewhat "forgotten". The valet was shabbily dressed and some staff and friends hung out at the tables near the entrance smoking and tending to a poodle all of which could be viewed by those dining inside... this did not add to the overall ambiance. The bathrooms were beautiful.
Consistant quality – The one thing I can say about Bluehour is that it is the best restaurant in Portland. Because I'm a lousy cook, I tend to eat out for every meal. Bluehour is always the place I go when I want top notch food in an always hip environment. The quality is always consistent, and the service is friendly. Bruce and Joe have done a wonderful job. Keep up the good work. I've been coming for years and plan on returning for years to come.
Not Worth the $$$$ – Went last night with a group of five (on a corporate expense account) and got just about everything on the menu. None of it was worth the inflated prices. Even though I wasn't paying, I was disappointed in the relatively simple and somewhat dull flavors. My cod tasted like it had salt and olive oil on it, nothing else. And the $12 risotto tasted like Spaghetti-O's. One member of our party said, "the duck must have been from Trader Joe's." The highlights were the vegetarian flan (both in flavor and presen... read more
Fantastic! – Bluehour continues to be one of my favorite spots to dine in the Pearl District. I was recently there with 5 friends, we were treated wonderfully and had a great time. Everyone must try their delicious new fondue appetizer!
The Bluehour has definitely past it's prime. What was once hip, exciting and energetic has now slumped into boring, typical and far from cutting-edge. Servers who used to be in abundance are now run ragged, and the usual staff seems to have dissappered. Food isn't inventive anymore. Desserts used to be sensational, what happened? The drinks and bar scene are the only thing still buzzing.
Minimalist Chic – Bluehour is a chic place to meet stylish, mature friends for great drinks, without having to deal with a UO reunion of girls in "trendy" clothes/haircuts from 2 summers ago, (aka: Lush).
