My return trip to the Kimpton was a great experience, and I took advantage of the breakfast one day and brunch the next here at Il Solito. Staff was fun & friendly and most importantly, prompt with service. Not a lot of foot traffic from outside the hotel, so only one section is usually open (on the corner of the street with a nice street-side view for people watching). We had the Eggs Benedict, Short Rib Hash, and did a bottle of champagne for our Mimosas with OJ & Cranberry. Better value suggested by the staff vs doing just 2 glasses. Food was good. My short rib was tender and the eggs were cooked as requested. The potatoes were seasoned and not bland and had a crunch to them, but I did feel like they were reheated to some extent. Overall, a good way to start off the day if yoru saying at the hotel.
My stay at the Kimpton hotel gave me breakfast credits here. They open pretty late on the weekends though so I was only able to use it once on Monday. Their espresso machine was broken but I was able to get a cafe au lait that was great. I ordered the BEAST sandwich but subbed the potatoes for fruit. The sandwich was delicious, the tomato jam on it really tied it together.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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.
We had an amazing lunch here. My hubby's eggs bemedict was delicious; everything was classic and done right. My caprese toast was refreshing and delightful. I would like to see an avocado toast on the menu as it's such a classic and easy option for breakfast. They got the tea choices from steven smith; such an easy way for me to sample the tea here. read more
We grabbed breakfast a couple of days here to go as we were staying at the Kimpton Hotel Vintage and had hotel credit to use. During our stay we tried the short rib hash, croissant breakfast sandwich and mushroom frittata. Everything was solid but on the oiler side. I enjoyed the short rib itself but the potato hash was pretty greasy. Same with the mushroom frittata and the flavor was a bit too sweet with the amount of pickled onions they include. Overall not a bad takeout hotel breakfast and generous with the portion but I don't think it would be somewhere I would return to if I wasn't staying at the Kimpton. read more
Brunch was great overall! The Caprese toast and scrambles both recommend. We also did the champagne bottle for the table, which was a fun touch. But the real shoutout goes to Maria, the hostess! We booked a last-minute reservation and she was able to accommodate us so quickly. She was truly amazing and made the whole experience even better. Maria for the win! read more

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. read more
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. read more

I had the pleasure of trying brunch and dinner here so here are my thoughts on the individual services: Brunch- kind of a clusterf&@k Food was great, but the service was strange. Each of our individual items came at very separate times. Almost as if each item was an afterthought to the other. That said, the pork belly hash was a refreshing take on brunch. The pork was crispy and the house hollandaise was wonderful. Dinner was the real winner here- the dinner service team was phenomenal. You could tell they all have a really great energy together and everyone was so friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed the food! We tried the Lasagne, spicy meatballs and bucatini, and the focaccia. The sauces on the lasagne made this classic dish really pop. The meatballs were wonderfully spicy and the focaccia was so garlicky and crispy. I nearly inhaled the tiramisu. It was light on the last fingers, but I didn't mind. I paired it was the tastiest cappuccino ever. Overall, food was great. This is solid Italian faire wile in downtown. read more

This restaurant was recommended by a frequent visit to Portland. All of my items were flavorful and fresh. The server was knowledgeable about the menu and daily specials. All team members were attentive to the guest tables. I had the Sunday dinner and Caesar salad. As impressive as the menu looks, my favorite item was the side of bread. I will also order the side of bread with entree because it is warm toasted and still chewy. read more
10/10 across the board for our experience here recently. Went in with not much expectation on a random night that turned out to be very empty there but maybe that's why we had such a good time! The decor inside was one of the coziest spot that I've been to. Yet, the space is modern and open with lots of seatings. They're attached to a chic hotel, which I wasn't aware of but that's pretty cool. Service was friendly and fast. Henry was very kind and cheerful throughout the night. He informed us of the special deal on Sundays: 50% off all wine bottles between $60 and $200. Of course, we jumped on it and treated ourselves to a bottle of Pinot noir. Worth it to come even just for the wine. As for food, we enjoyed everything we ordered. The Arancini was nice and crispy, could be a bit hotter and used more seasonings but I liked that they weren't overly heavy. The Fristo Misto was in the same boat. The prawns and peppers were the best part and they got a super flavorful ceust recipe going on. For mains, we split 2 pasta dishes. My vote goes to the Campanelle Romagna. A new combo for me. I loved the balance of the sweet cream and saltiness from the prosciutto. The green peas were fun too. The Radiatore was not bad by any means. I enjoyed the fun pasta shape and plenty of sausage and broccolini. Both dishes went very well together. They have a good selection of other pastas as well as heartier mains and rotating specials. The cherry on top for the meal was the free prosecco and Chocolate Torte for our anniversary. We really had a good time here and think this might really become our solito going forward! read more

I went before the busy rush-hour. I had some fried artichokes mozzarella pizza and bread. The bread was too hard. The fried artichokes were OK and the mozzarella pizza was nothing special. read more
We went here for the Drag'd to dinner show the other night. What a fun time! I would recommend the show to anyone. The drag queens were so talented, especially the MC, as she sang many of her songs, and had an incredible voice. The show was amazing, the staff was great, and the food was good. I have only two minor gripes, it is nearly impossible to reach a person on the phone. I had called multiple times trying to make sure we were seated with our friend who booked separately, and never reached anyone. In the end, we finally tried to go in when they opened at 5pm, but by then they told us they were fully committed and could not confirm the 3 of us at a table. Eventually they found a place for us at the bar. It was fine, but a table would have been more comfortable. Secondly, I ordered the eggplant, which was tasty but was served luke warm. Overall, it was a memorable night, and we will return. read more

Service was so great. The shrimp in the shrimp scampi was so tender and juicy 8/10. The bucatini felt like a normal spaghetti and meatballs 5/10. But the pork belly radiatori was amazing! I licked the whole plate clean, only wish it had more pork belly 9/10. read more

Went to the adjoining Hotel Vintage in downtown Portland for a night of getting away and was blown away by the experience. Very quiet and intimate setting with a view to the kitchen. Our Waiter Devon was amazing! He saw my girlfriend and I at a small table and offered to move us to a larger table. From there my girlfriend and I had a great experience with him. So energetic, engaging, and committed to his profession. The food was amazing! The focaccia bread was unlike any I had before. I can see why it's a customer favorite. Even the Italian salad had the best dressing I've ever tasted. The Marsala chicken was also incredible. Half chicken full of flavor and ample mushrooms! Lastly the dessert! We had the coffee/caramel gelato. Rich and creamy with amazing flavor. The Executive Chef even stopped by to check in and see how we enjoyed our meal! Food was great but again, our Waiter Devon made the experience so much better! We will definitely return and highly recommend. read more

WOW WOW WOW If you're skeptical about the service, I highly recommend to ask for Nathan as your server. He was very enthusiastic and letting him know it was our first time, he gave us some suggestions on what to choose. He asked if we would like tap water, bottle water or sparkling water. They do have a bread service upon request. They served us sourdough bread with balsamic vinaigrette and EVOO. If you check in, you get a complimentary stuccichini! It is absolutely delicious! Mind you it is complimentary for the table, so don't expect a big bowl. It is a soup that has a hint of lemon taste to it. The food came and it tasted like everything was fresh. I especially liked the chicken. Mind you, I don't always order chicken at the restaurant because sometimes it is undercooked or over cooked. The chicken was surprisingly tender and soft and very flavorful. The service and food was top notch and would definitely come back here. read more
I think Il Solito has all the makings to becoming a place I would really enjoy. I came here to celebrate my husband's birthday and we had reservations at 5:30PM. FYI, if you make reservations via Open Table, their confirmation email will say that you can get complimentary valet parking at the hotel next door. Not true! It's $7 for the first hour at Hotel Vintage or $6 for the first hour in the public parking structure across the street. Anyway, we got to the restaurant a little early so we decided to do their happy hour, which is only available in their bar area. I ordered their Bees Knees, which is a lemony drink with gin and honey. Wow, I LOVED that drink! It was strong, but tasty. We also ordered their garlic knots and the truffle fries. Loved their happy hour deals. Our server was also really sweet. After that it was time for our reservation so we moved over to the main dining area. Our two hostesses were really sweet and wished my husband a happy birthday. I love little thoughtful touches like that. After that, service went downhill. Our waitress in the main dining area was short with us, not very pleasant. We ordered two main dishes: the squid ink bucatini ($21) and the chestnut ravioli ($24). Portions were on the smaller size for the price IMO. I normally love squid ink pasta, but their version was much too salty for me. After eating our main dishes, our waitress came back, quickly dropped off our dessert menus without a word, and left. Not interested in telling us about their dessert options or even just to acknowledge that she was giving us their dessert menu. I was also hoping for a little birthday treat, but we didn't get any. This was my first time celebrating a birthday in Portland. Maybe it's not a Portland thing to surprise guests with a little birthday treat? Our busser was really nice though. Anyway, I'm not sure yet if I would ever come back. Perhaps for their happy hour. Otherwise, I need further convincing. P.S. I came back a second time to order take out. I got their gnocchi for $24... when I got home and opened the container, there was essentially the smallest ladle of gnocchi I had ever seen (see my pic). Unfortunately, I don't think it was worth $24... sigh. read more
I am officially obsessed with the batter on their fried calamari. I want to put it on other foods: chicken, shrimp, fish, just have some by itself. It is so crunchy and seasoned with whatever good stuff is on their spice rack. The buttered noodles are creamy and of course buttery with a sprinkle of cheese. I'm sure you could ask for more, but with the heavy amount of butter I wanted to keep the cheesiness on the lighter side as is. Yelp check-in offer: I received a little helping of squash puree soup. It is slightly sweet, warm fall dish. I think it would taste great as a sauce for a pasta or soup with added meat/vegetables. I sat at the bar and received great service. The bartender was very attentive and checked in often to see if I needed anything. read more

Last night four of us dined here. The food was good and the portions were copious. My husband had the steak special that was an artful stack of perfectly cooked slices. The tiramisu was yummy. The wine list is extensive with a good by the glass selection. But the reason for my enthusiasm was our server Devon who not only provided us with recommendations but whose sense of humor made our evening. When we return it will surely be because of him. read more

I went with a group of friends for Portland Dining Month and had a really great time!! The waitstaff was really kind and accommodating, even when we had a couple of last minute changes to our reservation. The real menu looked incredible and very shareable, and their dining month menu exposed us to just a few of those options including: Garlic knots: basic but super parmesan-y and delicious! Soup with gnudi: again pretty basic, salty broth was nothing special but the gnudis were good. Would recommend going in on a soup/garlic knots combo with a friend :) Chicken parm: solid, not the best one I've ever had but a big portion and the pasta was a thicker noodle than normal so ahhhh which made it kind of interesting Chile pomodoro (pasta with pomodoro sauce and tuna): The perfect combination of spice, citrus, and fish! This one definitely got 5 stars from my friends. Salted chocolate almond gelato: so good!! I stole a lot from my neighbor at the table who wasn't as into desserts. Butterscotch budino: really yummy and a less common flavor for a dessert dish so it felt unique and unlike other desserts I've had. The vanilla/marshmallow mousse on top was SO good! read more
