    Caprese Toast
    Alina H.

    We ate at Il Solito while staying at the Kimpton Hotel Vintage Portland, and used the breakfast voucher that came with our stay. Super convenient. We went before the brunch rush and were seated quickly, but by late morning the place was packed -- so if you're going around lunchtime on a weekend, definitely expect a wait. Here's what we ordered over the two days: Porchetta Benedict - This was one of the specials. The eggs were runny, meat was well-cooked, and the sauce was great. Short Rib Hash - It was pretty oily the short rib tough and hard to chew. Caprese Toast - Simple but delicious and fresh. You really can't go wrong with burrata spread on toast. Cajun Biscuits & Gravy - Just okay. The gravy was lacking that rich flavor. Overall, it's a convenient spot for a breakfast, especially if you're staying nearby. The portions are huge, which is a plus. I wouldn't go out of my way to dine here -- but it does the job if you're in the area.

    Their Breakfast Potatoes are delicious
    Angelina E.

    I enjoyed my breakfasts here. I was staying at the Kimpton Vintage Hotel and ate here every morning. Their caprese toast is delicious! The portion appears small but is more filling that you'd expect. But I also supplemented it with either a side of fruit or a yogurt parfait. I also tried their mushroom frittata which was very good! Their breakfast potatoes are seasoned and crunchy and very yummy. Oatmilk lattes did the job but not their specialty. Service was hit or miss, depending on which waiter was servicing our table. The ambience is very casual and this spot fills up during breakfast so make a reservation whenever possible. Overall, a good place to enjoy a meal and very convenient if you are staying at the hotel.

    Tough review because the food was tasty but the service was less than stellar. We got free breakfast up to $30 per person. We ordered the short rib hash. It is a very good portion at $28. The food was really delicious, however, it feels like the food is reheated because the bottom pieces of meat were cooler than the others. The real issue was the service. The male servers were not attentive. We ordered coffee and orange juice but never got served it until we had to ask. The water pitcher was empty a few times and had to ask about refills. Then the next day we came back due to our free breakfast with IHG credit and the women servers were wonderful. Again food is great, but service is hit and miss!

    Brioche French Toast
    Jenna W.

    Went to brunch here, but it was overall disappointing. The service was friendly, but the food was mediocre overall. The brioche French toast was good, but nothing special. The biscuits weren't really biscuits but the same brioche bread it seemed. The outside doors to the restaurant weren't even open, we had to come around a few times and knock. I think they rely mostly on breakfast customers from the attached hotel.

    Received my plate and everything was cold. My "toasted" English muffin didn't even melt my butter!
    Spam M.

    Just got my Il Solito breakfast plate so why are my potatoes cold? My English muffin was toasted, but why is it also cold and soggy? Chicken apple sausage is super dry and I needed a sip of my chai tea to swallow it down. My scrambled eggs are also cold. How long was my plate sitting on the counter? I have no idea why everything is not even warm. This was a free breakfast with my Chase Edit credit, but it's so not worth the 20% gratuity that you have to pay. Walk a couple of blocks and pay full price for a good meal anywhere else. Portland has many amazing restaurants so don't waste your time here just because you want to use your $30 breakfast credit.

    Caprese Toast

    Personally, I thought the food was just OK, the service was very good and I like the ambience. We had the pork belly which was very dry and very overcooked, but the sauce they put over it helped and was very tasty. I had the eggs Benedict, it was just OK. I only ate one of them and opted not to take the other one home because I didn't imagine much eating it again. According to my dining partner, the Caprese toast was very good. We ordered a couple of lattes and their homemade chai, the chai was very good. The lattes were way too sweet. That being said, I do believe they make their own flavors, and the hazelnut that I had was delicious, very hazelnut-ie, it just needed less of it. I think I would try it one more time because I like to give places two chances, but based on my first visit, generally speaking, I wouldn't go back.

    We stayed at the Kimpton Hotel upstairs, and came down here for breakfast during our stay. Brunch items on the menu were delicious, and waiters were nice and accommodating with my son's food allergies. The decor is modern hipster and I absolutely love their glass bottle Christmas tree.

    The breakfast potatoes have to be the best I've ever add once you add some salt and pepper to them. If you like crispy potatoes this is where it's at. Service here was very good. I opted for the Caprese toast I never had it before. Mozzarella was very fresh. My wife really enjoyed her parfait. Will definitely return!

    The servers were super nice at the restaurant. The food came out quickly and the eggs were cooked perfectly. There's big bright windows that let in a lot of light and provide a good view of downtown. Perfect convenient stop before hitting the road!

    12/14/2023 - Drag'd to Dinner Holiday drag show!  2020 Toscana Banfi red blend with a tiramisu
    Mikhail H.

    I have only been here twice including my recent visit. I never had a reason to not go. I was in the main space at a Christmas party eons ago that was wicked fancy so I just associated this with a fancy dinner. I then kept trying to go for back when we had Portland Dining Month since they always had a really tasty looking offering. Suddenly I see Drag'd to Dinner promoted to see a drag show and order some food and drinks here... sounded like a perfect happening for me to attend and catch up with a few friends for the holidays. The gorgeous Coco Jem Holiday was our hostess and we got treated to a fun line up of drag performers doing great Christmas songs. They had a delightful red blend my friend and I shared a bottle of though I grabbed an extra glass too! RJ was a truly amazing bartender and person and we were so happy that we were seated at the bar. Now let's get the real talk... Chef Casey made me an insanely delicious plate of pasta kissed with pesto, Parmigiano Reggiano, cherries and pork belly. I am still dreaming of this delicious dish and might need to pop in again for it praying it is still on the menu - I cleaned my plate and was in awe as to how perfect it was. I honestly had no idea they had a bar area and that was so great since it seems like a pretty formal restaurant but tucking in for a plate of pasta and glass (or three) of wine at the bar is a lovely way to hang out somewhere on a rainy Portland evening.

    I See U

    I almost always run away from hotel restaurants for several reasons. And even though we didn't stay here, I particularly see hotel restaurants as add-ons, have their own captive audience and, I've never had much luck with them. But on our last night in Portland while we visited our daughter during Labor Day weekend, we decided on a quiet, family dinner. There were some hits and misses at this nicely kept Kimpton Hotel restaurant. Yet, they welcomed us with open arms even when we arrived at a little past 9 for dinner when doors closed at 10. There are no restrooms here- so you'd have to go and walk through Kimpton Hotel and down the stairs to use 'em. Our server was skillful and memorized all of our beverages, appetizers and main plates without jotting anything down. Caesar salad for the three of us was scrumptious and wanted more. Their version of ciabatta 'garlic bread' had wonderful roasted garlic cloves and was oh so buttery. We wanted more. My daughter's Shrimp Scampi+seared scallops+linguine was the best dish on the table. Scallops had that terrific char but man- were they juicy. Linguine? Prepared al dente. Hubs enjoyed his salmon- but got like ramen noodles to replace the original side. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I decided on an Eggplant Parm and was so looking forward to dig my fork into juicy layers. Theirs? Eggplant seemed like pre-prepped patties. On a happier note though, the mozzarella was fresh and the tomato sauce was sublime in this (what seemed to be) ready-made dish. Despite that, service was nice at this hotel restaurant.

    Burratta
    Tracy D.

    It was really hard to order for pick up due to the line not going through to the restaurant. It just kept looping me back to the hotel. Upon entering the restaurant with my dog, which is why I tried to order via phone, the staff was kind enough to take my order and suggest a place within the hotel to wait for my food. The Burrata salad was so fresh and tasty! Definitely a must if you appreciate that type of cheese. I also had the shrimp scampi pasta was which rich in flavor! In terms of value, I thought the amount of pasta it was served with was skimpy.

    Pork Belly Hash
    Anusha G.

    My review of this restaurant is a little weird since I was dining for a free breakfast as a result of my stay at the Kimpton itself. Our server was kind in explaining the menu to us and got our food to us very quickly. We got the pork belly hash and the scrambled bruschetta. They both were great but just a little heavy for breakfast. I managed to eat all my eggs but left most of the focaccia because the ratios were a little off in the bruschetta for my liking. In general this was a good place but the breakfast was alright.

Immaculate atmosphere and the exact sort of thing we were looking for for breakfast. We didn't get her name but saw on the receipt her name might have been Davi, she was such a bundle of light and life, so attentive and kind! She immediately gave us wonderful recommendations which we all adored. The table ordered praline bacon to share (do yourself a favor and get this), one ordered the praline bacon waffle, another ordered the bananas foster waffle, and I got the seasonal vegetable hash. We were all in HEAVEN with what we ordered. From the first bite to the last it we were all absolutely stunned by how delicious and well made everything was. I savored every bite as did my compatriots. One gal ordered a couple things to go for her family (huevos rancheros for the hubby and cinnamon rolls for her kiddos) and our waitress Davi recommended they bring out the cinnamon rolls unfired so that she could pop them in the oven when she got home after a short drive. It was such good attention to detail that felt like such a friendly offer. Absolute superstars, the lot of you.

A loud voice said "Its not your time yet. Return and enjoy the rest of your meal." I ascend back to the chair and every chicken and every waffle was gone. The servers were SO kind.

Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers.

It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll.

The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side.
