About this business

Thank you to all of our loyal customers and greetings to those of you who are just now finding us. We have had the pleasure (and sometimes headaches) of being in the hospitality business for over 30 years. We are continuing in our tradition of presenting wonderful ingredients and offering a world class collection of Wines, Ports and Madeira to match. We have kept many of our upscale Indian dishes and added some exciting non-Indian dinners with our Chef's Whimsy Wine Paired events. We are still located in the Meirs mansion on... read more

HORRIBLE service. – The food was great. . the wait for the food was ridiculously long (it took over an hour to bring the food ).. .and the service was horrible. The server messed up our order. . and I had to ask other servers to fill my water.. and once I even had to get up to get us water. And to top it all, in the end the server was extremely rude to us. He practically threw the check at our table! and when we commented on the bad service.. he came to argue with us.. and walked off when i was still talking with him!! For a... read more

Business response:

I am so sorry for this experience! I am not sure who the server in question was but you can be sure that we as a company discussed your feedback and used it as a training opportunity. Rudeness is completely unacceptable and something that i will not tolerate. We as a company strive to provide a 5 star experience to all our clients at great value everyday. We are only human and sometimes we dont meet our mission. Clearly on this particular day we did not. If you would be willing to give us a second chance, I will give you my ... read more

Great food, nice ambience! – After reading the reviews below, I thought I'd try out the place. I have to say having eaten Indian food many times, I've never really had quite a delectable meal until I came here. If you've never tried Indian food, or even if you have, I highly suggest coming here. The food is amazing, the prices are reasonable, and the waitstaff are VERY helpful. The owner is friendly and I WILL be coming back. Thanks for the wonderful food and the excellent service! What a breath of fresh air!

Great Improvements! Outstanding Experience!!!!! – We just ate at Plainfield's twice over the last month, both experiences were top notch, likely the best two experiences I've had over nine years of frequenting Plainfield?s. I was introduced to Plainfield's when I first moved to Portland and read a review. The review was correct: great food and wine! The first time my family visited I brought them as well, it has since become a required visit each time they travel here, a welcome requirement (I eat there about once a month on... read more

Service & Food were Great! – The food, atmosphere and service at Plainfield?s is great! It has been a few months since our previous visit and we were curious with a new owner how it would affect our experience. We were greeted by a friendly new face and it they the same welcome home attitude and feel that Plainfield?s always had for us. The food and wine is exceptional. We ate a familial favorite, tried a new addition to the menu, and the exceptional wine list is still there. The atmosphere has remained elegant and relaxing;... read more

Great food and service – We were new in town and invited to this restaurant by friends of ours. Being from the east coast we were accustomed to fine food and were pleasantly surprised with the excellent food and service. The atmosphere was pleasant; the waiter very cordial, knowledgeable, and attentive. Our glasses were always full. The wine was exceptional. The decors were visually stunning. We will definitely frequent this restaurant regularly, and would like to extend our highest compliments to the chef and staff for a cl... read more

Quality of the service has gone downhill! – Oh, dear. Something has definitely gone wrong at Plainfield's. For years, this has been my favorite "special occasion" restaurant, but no longer. I and some friends went to Plainfield's on a recent Friday for dinner. There was no sign of Craig Plainfield. He has *always* been there on prior visits. In fact, I didn't recognize anyone on the staff that we saw. Our waiter was more than a little pushy in recommending that we order wine. He offered us "promotional" entrees when we were ... read more

A+ Food, A+ Service.......a wonderful experience – After hearing about Plainfield?s from a work friend, my husband and I decided to put this restaurant on our ?must-do? list .. and we are so glad that we did! We arrived at the restaurant without reservations?not the smartest thing to do on a VERY busy Friday night. However, our wait for seating turned out to be extremely pleasant since we had lucked into wine-tasting night right in their front lobby. We kept busy (and happy) sampling some terrific wines courtesy of the resta... read more

Not the Plainfields that I loved anymore – wow! could it be any farther from the place I have known and loved for nearly a decade. No more great wines, the servers I loved are gone, what happened to the ports and maderas? I am so confused by what is still called plainfields mayur. the food still tastes great but that is only a part of the whole experience. I always counted on Craig or Nita to take excellent care of me. where are they? Some thing has gone terrilby wrong. Will it ever be the same. I felt like i was in a high p... read more

What happened to my Plainfields?? – This makes me so sad. The last dinner we had at Plainfield's Mayur was a disaster. We've been going there since 2001, although not within the past few months. We were there to celebrate an important birthday, chosen specifically by the birthday celebrant. We had out of town guests who had never been there before and were picking up the tab. The food was still wonderful, but part of the Plainfield's experience is the service, which has always been excellent. Going to Plainfield's was like s... read more
