    Modern restaurant and well lit with only light coming in from top of hotel. Uniquely designed and decorated hotel with plenty of space / seating. Restaurant is located inside of The Nines Hotel. Service was great and bartenders were very helpful in getting us our drinks and explaining the restaurants hours of operation for dining. You can come before 5pm and get served at the bar but you cannot sit in the main dining area or order food until 5pm. This restaurant fell short of my groups expectations as the actual space did not match the vibe or aesthetic shown online. Something just felt off, but food and drinks were good and the bartenders service was great!

    Blackened Chicken Sandwich with salad (harvest)
    John H.

    This restaurant is hidden on the 9th floor of a hotel...in the center of large space...with a roof skylight high above 4 floors of hotel windows & balconies looking down on you. You will definitely have plenty to talk about looking around. It is aiming to be gourmet food, but the execution does not quite match. The service is also not quite top tier. I had the blackened chicken sandwich with a side harvest salad. It was decent, but I've had better tasting and better looking plates at dive bars. The deviled eggs were okay, but the shrimp are not recommended. Focaccia was my favorite app. If steak is their thing, maybe try that.

    This is the place for Saturday brunch. Super easy to reserve on open table and not very busy. Located in the nines hotel, super cute chic area and really awesome lounge area to hang out. The restaurant is enclosed on the side and it's not loud with natural skylight and rooms that overlook the area. Really yummy food and the service was great.

    This was our last stop before heading to the airport and I could not be happier with our choice of visiting Urban Farmer. We stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon for drinks, and I only wish we had more time for Happy Hour oysters. My heart broke knowing we were so close, but we had to be responsible and catch a flight. Service is friendly and fast. I like that the bartender left us to our own, so we can soak in the atmosphere. It's beautiful inside with a lot of natural light and open space. It can get a little warm with the sun shining, but it was very enjoyable nonetheless. I would come back again for more drinks and HH!

    Beet salad
    Bradley J.

    We had a very good experience here for lunch. The service was good and we sat on these incredible couch chairs. The food came out fast and fresh. Not the best fries we've ever had, but the beet salad was exceptionally good.

    Excellent breakfast and an easy standout during my stay. The crispy sourdough was perfect, the eggs were cooked beautifully, and the jam was fantastic. The real star of the meal was the chicken sausage, honestly one of the most delicious things I've eaten in a long time, and I could've finished an entire plate without thinking twice. The yogurt parfait was also very good, though quite sweet with the purée, fruit, and honey all together. Next time I'd ask for the honey on the side just to control the sweetness a bit. Great service and friendly people. Good ambiance. Appropriate volume (not too noisy). Overall, a fantastic breakfast spot and well worth it.

    Stopped in for a light meal and a cocktail the other day. Sat at the bar and ordered some food and cocktails. Both bartenders were friendly even though they were very busy. Cocktails and food came out in a timely manner. Comfortable seats at the bar and not too noisy even though there were several tables near us. I tried the "Mechanical Animal" and the "Wake Me Up Before you Go Go" cocktails. Both enjoyable, though the first may not be for everyone, as the bartender warned me. Caesar Salad with Shrimp. Everyone else had burgers and enjoyed them.

    The restaurant is inside a hotel and it had a nice atmosphere. The cocktails are superb. Service was great. Timing was very off. I had the chilled shrimp as an appetizer, delicious. But it took forever for my entree and by the time it was ready, I was ready to go home. So I hit it boxed up, they comped my drinks, which was fantastic. Got home, my steak was perfect. Overall, great place, will try again!

    Phenomenal food! Delicious cornbread complimentary starter. Great service, all the staff were great and Diamond was on point and super friendly! They took great care of our daughter. A bit $$$ and worth it for a great meal! Great vibe.

    Been here before a few years ago for some drinks. Really like the atmosphere, music and relaxed vibe of the place and service. The food is also very delicious. Went here today for the Easter brunch they are providing. Tried a little bit of everything, but the steak was so tender and flavorful. Everything was good though. Went great with coffee. The desserts were also hard to choose, but went with the little mousse and cheesecake shot glasses. The tropical mousse was refreshing indeed too.

    Butterscotch Sundae
    Athena N.

    I can't recommend this place enough! I had the pleasure of dining here for both breakfast and dinner, and meeting so many of the wonderful staff. Special shoutout to Raymond, Jake, Tanner, Tom, and countless others who made our visits so memorable. For breakfast, I tried the avocado toast with bacon and the açaí bowl. The avocado toast was a perfect balance of flavors and textures, and very filling. The açaí bowl was excellent as well; it was already sweet enough on its own, so next time I'd skip the honey. For dinner, I ordered the pork chop on Raymond's glowing recommendation, and it did not disappoint. The portion was generous, and the stone fruit with pickled mustard seeds elevated the flavor beautifully. We also enjoyed the tender greens salad as a starter, and for sides, the mac & cheese and Yukon gold potato purée were both outstanding. Dessert is where Urban Farmer truly shines. I can't recommend the butterscotch sundae enough; I had it twice during my stay and it was absolute perfection, with just the right mix of textures and a generous portion. The brûlée is also excellent with its perfectly torched surface. And of course, I have to mention the cornbread with whipped butter at dinner; it's hands-down the best I've ever had! Many thanks to the Urban Farmer team for such a wonderful dining experience. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    Grilled Flat Iron Steak and Eggs
    Bianca H.

    Overall, this is a Portland gem. Tucked off of Pioneer square, the unexpected multi-story skylit restaurant is farm to table with great service and ambiance. The salmon and steak was amazing and the pastry basket was such a treat!

    Calamari
    Stephanie S.

    The calamari was meh, the cacio e pepe was mediocre and the deviled eggs were good. This was a business lunch so I failed to take pictures. Service was slow because it was a group of 9 so that's understandable and they get a pass. It's located on the 8th floor for the hotel and there are no windows in the restaurant. Parking garage was 2 blocks away or there is street parking avail or hotel valet.

We did end up sending it back (which i hate doing) and got it redone adding another 10isj minutes of waiting on top of our already pretty long wait (but again it was busy so we didnt rlly care much for the wait) but i did get full off of the sides by the time the redo came out The redo definitely tasted alot better, it didnt taste burnt which was good but in general didnt really have much flavor. I will say the potatoes were good, bell peppers were okay, unfortunately nothing was great....we ended up spending around ~$210 for two people for a meal that really did not satisfy either of us, we'll maybe give it another try on a less busy day but it was rough considering this was also our anniversary dinner
