My husband and I had a nice night. The service was great! From the time we walked in the door, it was only positive vibes. The food was great! The steak was seasoned well and juicy, potatoes, shrimp, dessert was all delicious! Thank you for a nice night. read more

Wow.... Been here before and while it wasn't amazing, the happy hour deals were good and their Landry's rewards program was a benefit. Visited again tonight and had poor service with Matthew.... Slow, got the drink order wrong, waited to take a food order long after drinks were served. Happy hour menu is no longer reasonably priced and portions were smaller than competitors. Beer on tap tasted stale and $8 margarita wasn't shaken, used cheap tequila. Worst news of the night - they refused to accept rewards program benefits. Never again read more

Everything was excellent. Salad, Prime Rib and Peppermint ice cream. We eat there often.

Good food excellent service nice atmosphere margaritas where a little sweet I would definitely recommend

I love coming to Stanfords and bringing my mother here for lunch. The food and service are always excellent and the holiday decorations are elegant. read more

Food- wonderful Drinks- wonderful the fact that my girlfriend and I each had our two infants with us and they seemed to be giving us a nudge to GTFO - not wonderful. Our children were not screaming, not crying, one just happened to make a fuss for about 20 sec until he got some food in his hands was all. After that, one "manager" looking female cane over to us "oh I thought I heard a baby! Had to come see the baby!" Not even 5 min later another manager looking female came over "oh I thought I heard a baby during our MEETING around the corner." Their demeanor and tone was very off putting and gave us the impression we needed to hurry up and leave. Not to mention the seated us is the furthest back corner of the restaurant too. Unfortunate.. read more

Reasons why I was here tonight at this particular restaurant: - They had a "TWO for $25" special (Two entrees and an appetizer OR a dessert for $25) - My mom had a $25 gift card and this place was listed - We were hungry and this place was the closest/open late [-] Service: Service here is quite bad. It took the server a while to greet us and to take our drink orders. Once she came back with our drinks, she didn't even ask if we needed anything else and 'assumes' that we needed more time to look at the menu. Then she was 'missing' for about 10-15 minutes. The only time I saw her was when she brought out our food. During my meal, I wanted a extra plate, a straw, and ketchup. I didn't see my server until I was half way done with my food, but I still asked for it anyways because I needed those items. Yes, of course, I didn't get ANY of those until I was done with my meal, well probably with a few bits left. You might think they're busy and such, but I see other servers just standing around wrapping forks and napkins... Food: Along with bad service, the food was not good either. The Steak and Cheddar Sandwich was absolutely NOT good. It was VERY oily/greasy; it had so much on there it seemed like they soaked it in oil and then served it to me. YUCK! The other entrees that I had were Penne Pasta & Prawns (the prawns were small), Buffalo Wings & Fries (the wings were good, fries were not), and Curry Calamari (it was okay). I had another entree; Thai Chicken Linguine (it was tasty) - I got this entree for free in replacement of the Steak and Cheddar sandwich because I did not like it/returned it. [+] After I spoke with the server about how I disliked one of the dishes, she immediately took action and offered to replace it with another entree. She probably apologized like 3 to 5 times for the rest of the night while waiting for the replacement order. Not only that, but she also came and talked to us about where it went wrong and kept updating us about how long the last dish would take. [?] I probably would not go back there- at least not for a long while. I did not leave with a bad experience, but it would not a totally good one either. My experience was quite neutral; maybe because the atmosphere of the place makes up for it? AND probably because I took advantage of their deal? I would have to say, their food is a bit spendy if you ordered from their regular menu. read more

Visiting from out of town and heard good things about Stanford's. I sat in bar area and no wait at all for a table. I went with a small salad appetizer and it was very good and came quickly. Main course was the half rack ribs. They were extremely good! They even brought a plate for the bones, with a warm, moist towel to wipe my hands. My server was Theresa and she was amazing all night. Very attentive, super helpful with questions I had, and extremely friendly and polite. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more

Excellent meal, great service, friendly people. The bar knew how to make a perfect Old Fashioned. Poke was fresh, fish and chips was wonderful, flavorful and filling. Definitely will return. read more

The service was great, I wish I can say the same about the food. Me and my boyfriend ordered steak which came to be very disappointing. I ordered a ribeye medium rare but it was raw on the sides with basically all fat that I was trying to eat around. I had high hopes for the steak. The dessert kind of made up for it but overall not sure if I would make the drive to come back here again. read more

As always I had a wonderful experience at Stanfords! Love that restaurant!!! The food was delicious and the service was great. I appreciate the fact that they acknowledged my birthday! The Christmas decorations were adorable! read more

Nothing special. Service was good. We ordered a side of onion rings for an appetizer. They came on a long, narrow, white rectangular plate and they were laying side-by-side in a single straight line. There were nine small-medium size onion rings out of the freezer for 9$. They were not good, hand dipped large onion rings so for us it was a comedy. THEY WERE SERVED ON SAME PLATE (as pictured on their website) BUT NOT EVEN REMOTELY THE SAME APPEARANCE. The picture shows a large serving of nice-looking onion rings. Definitely deceitful! I had salmon and I forget what my boyfriend had. Our food was good, It was my birthday and my kind, non-critical boyfriend cracked a joke about STANFORD'S 'come hungry', 'leave hungry'. So we were able to laugh about it even though it was a great disappointment. read more

Great food, excellent service . Always love to eat at Stanfords when traveling. Excellent prime rib

Stopped by dinner last night, we were promptly seated. I ordered the halibut fish and chips for my entree and an order of calamari as the appetizer. The calamari was a little bland. My fish was delicious. It was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend ordered the ribeye steak with mash potatoes and substituted the green bean for a crab cake. His mashed potatoes came out so cold, and the crab cake was barely warm. His steak was cooked medium rare perfectly except is was extremely under seasoned. We let our waitress know, she quickly ordered a replacement. Great customer service and she was very attentive to our table. read more

Good food , good time . I'll be back . Service was good . Hot food . I don't like warm or Luke warm food . Need it nice and hot and fresh ! Service was great ! read more

The food and the service absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for granting my accommodations, my wife and I had a great time!

The food was awesome and the waitress was so nice! She checked on us many times and made us feel very welcome! Everybody was great! We will be back!! Thank you for your great service! read more

This place has gone way down hill! They attempt a bernaise with cream only and place dried tarragon on top like it's some kind of comparison. I'd rather it not on my freaking plate. The broccolini was so undercooked! The filet is the thin! Seriously go somewhere else ! read more

Everything here is great. Love the pasta and bread. We had the Cajun linguine and the scallop and prawn linguine. Presentation of the food is great, server was very kind and they got our food out quickly. This is the perfect spot to get great dinner without a wait after shopping! read more

This was an amazing dining experience. This is part of our community and not just a restaurant. The atmosphere is appealing and they get the idea of hospitality. I love the food. I had a New York steak cooked to perfection, our salads were crisp and cool. If u want a martinI, just come here. I've been in Portland for 40 years and have dined at many many restaurant. There are atleast 3 bartenders here that can make a martini as well as any and better than most. So many places I'm met with I'm not sure or let me check. It is so refreshing to hear absolutely and I would love to. That is the definition of hospitality they anticipate my needs. We were a large party kids running around so I wanted to thank your staff for being so good to our children. April was the manager she personally moved us to better accommodate us. That is why we go back and tell everyone about it. read more

I have never been disappointed at Stanford's. Excellent food and service every time!

I should've listened to my kids. My husband was dying to have a steak dinner and I checked local places for suggestions and wasn't finding anything too exciting so I went with a good old standby. My kids refused to join us for dinner because they said they looked at the reviews and the average was two stars or something. I was like "whatever, I know food and I'm going out!" We went to Stanford's and even though the front sign says "now seating", we had about a 20 minute wait for seating. Our server was friendly, and very quick, we never lack for anything during the meal. Started with the smoked salmon bruschetta, the smoke salmon was beautiful, it was so light and fresh, no fishy flavor and was not overly smoked. I personally abhor arugula but this was covered in baby arugula and it was shockingly mild and I was delighted to find that it complemented the salmon. The appetizer was delicious. I ordered the house red wine, it is a MaryHill blend, I love all forms of red wine and this one was so incredibly well balanced that I ordered a second glass because my husband....who claims to hate red wine...was constantly drinking from my glass and reducing my buzz. My husband had ordered a classic Mojito and it was delightfully citrus and mint, the majority of Mojito's are extremely over sugared and more like a preemptive diabetic coma. For dinner I ordered surf and turf. My turf, was an uneven cut so it cooked unevenly, half of it was extremely tough and difficult to chew while the other half was perfectly rich and delicious. My surf was a delightful grilled piece of salmon, my plate had beautiful sauces over each piece of meat and my green beans were crisp and fresh. My husband ordered the most expensive steak cut, ribeye and his was cooked perfectly, a little bit too salty but his plate arrived drier than the Sahara, he was not given any sauces for his potatoes, green beans or meat. He was dipping his food into my plate trying to get any moisture he could. For dessert we had the Apple crisp, it is an extremely generous portion, we shared it and it was more than enough, it was not too sweet and a perfect finish. Our meal and drinks came to 141, not a bad date night but they definitely have room for improvement. read more

Fatty prime rib. Overall not up to Stanfords usual quality. Employees rather slow. Just wasn't a great experience.

I love Stanford's! I always have great service and great food when I come in. Their happy hour is probably one of my favorites in the area. It's such a great variety of items which is what I like. A lot of restaurants have slim pickings when it comes to happy hour food so that can be annoying. I had a bacon burger and fries when i came in. It was very good, I loved it. I'm not super picky with burgers, usually anything with bacon does the trick for me :) The burger was cooked perfectly and the bacon was a perfect crisp and thickness. One of the many things I really enjoy is their waffle fries. Yum, I'm getting hungry just thinking about them. I forgot to mention that their happy hour goes to late night, I want to say midnight but don't quote me on that. I have stayed in the bar area until midnight one time with my husband having drinks, happy hour food and great conversation. The lights in the bar are dim so it's the perfect setting. I'd recommend Standford's anyday! It's one of those places I tend to miss only because I purposely try to avoid chain restaurants but this is one of my faves! read more

We tried the new menu last week. In the end, we preferred the steak before this, and the rise in price didn't equate to a rise in value or quality. It is nice to see a few more items on the menu, but as hard-core, longtime customers and real fans of Stanfords, this left us disappointed. The staff is still great, but the "better" food left us regrettably unimpressed. 2 stars for the change (and still not offering anything besides brioche for the burger), plus one star for what is still our favorite mojito and French 75 in Portland. read more

I've been coming to this location for years...not sure why I haven't written a review before now, :-/ Originally, I used to come here for HH...yummy food at reasonable prices...great place to hangout after work. Lately, I've been meeting friends or family for lunch. The service has always been good. I've never had to wait for a table because I always sit at a booth or table in the bar. The food, for the most part, has been pretty consistent. My go-to order is the combo lunch (soup and salad or salad and 1/2 club sandwich with fries). Always a good option. The chicken tenders are really good as well...hand-battered, not frozen. I also like to order the house salad (comes with bacon and hardboiled egg) with bread, but the portions seem to get smaller and smaller each time I come in. Not sure what the deal is. The price hasn't changed, but the plate size has. Kind of annoying because it's not small enough to order something to go with it, and not large enough for it to pass as an entree. It's the same price as the combo lunch, so maybe I'll just stick to that ;-) They also have a rewards program (Restaurants Unlimited). It's good for partnering restaurants as well (i.e. Prime Rib + Chocolate Cake, Henry's Tavern, Portland City Grill, etc.). You earn credits for money spent, then redeem them for dining credits. For example, 300 credits would give you a $25 dining credit on your next visit(s). They have an app as well so you can keep track or find participating restaurants. read more

Celebrated a friend's birthday there and had a great time. The standard fish and chips were done to perfection and is always my favorite. We had a special dessert to share and our server made the experience extra special. read more

Over priced and not transparent. I used to eat here and respected and loved this place. Saw it as a nice place and had good memories there. Returned for the first time in years with the idea that it would still be good. Wanted to splash out for a salad with shrimp as my protein. The additional cost for shrimp was $12. That made a dinner salad $26 total. I figured it would be worth it assuming $12 of shrimp would be added and no amount was added in their description. When I opened my pick up order at home, there was a side of 3 shrimp. 3 shrimp cost $12. I called and confirmed with the host and she spoke to the kitchen and said yes that's all they provide in that order and sorry their prices have just gone up. I used to be a loyal customer to this spot and will not be returning. It is absolutely not worth the price and I was very disappointed. read more

Absolutely amazing! Dining single when traveling can be interesting especially in a fine resteraunt in jeans and a sweatshirt :) Luke was an amazing server with great recommendations!! I will be back! Very quiet and relaxed atmosphere, I should've brought my book! :) read more

I had issues with the service here but I was reached out to and will be returning soon to give it another shot. The food we ate was good, the brussels sprouts were the best thing. The steak was cooked well but quite salty. read more

I stopped eating here just before the pandemic as the quality had changed. And during the pandemic the food selection was limited, which was understandable. Randomly decided to try it again yesterday and I am sooh glad I did. The 'quality' of the food items, the happy hour and the wait staff (who were always great in my opinion) were off the chart. Everyone in my party was shocked and very happy, vowing to return again. Probably the best Caesar Salad we ever had but this is only one example. We asked if there was a change in ownership and learned that there indeed was. So many times different chains or individual restaurants scale back on quality or cut corners after a while out of the gate but here's hoping the new owners will keep on doing exactly what they are doing, cause this gal plans on returning & with more friends. read more

I'm not sure how I feel about a $14 hamburger or $18 Mac and cheese. Should I feel outrage at the prices or embarrassment at paying those prices? It was a good burger and the wife reports that it was good Mac and cheese. Service was cheerful but not reflective of the price (I was wistfully starting at an empty glass of tea for a while). Next time spend the additional $8 for their entry level steak and I'm sure I will feel happier. Or at least I will hope to feel happier. read more

wonderful food & service! much better than 5-10 years ago; things have definitely improved (haven't been here in a while)!

We've enjoyed coming to Stanfords for years. Recently visited for our anniversary. The staff were so kind and decorated our table as well as wrote us a card congratulating us. We ordered their salmon chowder and brussel sprouts as appetizers, which are both our favorites. I then ordered their steelhead and my husband the fish and chips. Their seafood really is always great quality and we enjoy coming here for date night or special occasions. With the cost of eating out having gone up as it has, I know what to expect when coming here and Stanfords never disappoints. read more
