Good quality for a hotel breakfast. $20 for breakfast, free coffee. A no brainer if you have the daily breakfast credit, overpriced if you do not. I had the standard breakfast and french toast, both small portions but tasted good enough. Service was slow and inattentive. But you can stop by the bar on your way in and order (menu is online), then grab coffee from the lobby self-serve area. read more

Review is a 3 instead of 2 because of our positive bar experience! The bartender made a tasty marg and amaretto soda. The 2 star breakfast experience below brought the overall star score down. We stopped by the hotel bar around 9am on a Sunday. We were promptly seated and given a menu. We got a London fog and vanilla latte which were both alright but a little sweet. When we went to order the French toast, the waitress said they didn't have it. We tried to order the parfait instead, not available. One other item we attempted to get was not available, so we asked what was. We were able to get a bowl of fruit, the shakshuka, and a standard breakfast plate. The fruit was average fruit. The shakshuka was ok; I think a larger pan would work better to spread out the egg. The plate scrambled eggs were a bit rubbery and the bacon was lack luster. Halfway through the meal, our waitress disappeared without any word to us. I waited 10 minutes after we finished to pay at the counter. The experience solidified that we'll stay at other Portland Amex hotels in the future. read more

Vaux - London fog 3.5/5 too sweet - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Would not recommend at all for Black/African American patrons. Blatant racism and refusal of service from Maira when trying to order breakfast. We were told to go to a different order spot on the side away from the main register then we were told we couldn't order as they started taking orders from people who came after us. 0 stars if I could. read more

They had a strange set up for a hotel restaurant. There is no host in the dining area. You order at a small counter in between the bar and grill then pay for meal and you will receive a number for your table. The drip coffee is complimentary. I had breakfast and dinner a few times while staying at the Canopy hotel and the female servers lacked service skills; neither cared to be there. Not sure what type of clientele they bring in- I'm guessing the stellar reviews are from folks who have had one too many at the bar. Also, there is no "dinner" menu- they serve tapas style. Think 3 small skewers (beef or chicken), pretzels, artichoke dip etc. ranging from $9-13. Ordering a few items could create an unfulfilling "meal" if that's your thing. Eat dinner elsewhere in the Pearl District. If you get a dining credit, an omelet or select market items will suffice. read more

Way more than a hotel bar! The food and drinks here are fantastic. Lead bartender, Chuck Ward, has mastered the craft of the Old Fashioned. Easily one of the best I've had. Meanwhile Sous Chef Zack has brought in his own family sausage recipe that elevates an already hearty breakfast menu. There's plenty of space for events or just relaxing with friends. High quality establishment here, there just happens to be a hotel (a very modern, comfortable hotel with incredible staff) attached. read more

Vaux - Chuck Ward's Old Fashioned - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We love staying at the Canopy Hotel, and one of the biggest reasons is the amazing service from Chuck Ward! He's hands down the best bartender and server--friendly, fast, creative, and always making sure we have a great experience. The fact that the hotel serves dinner every night is a huge plus, and the food is consistently excellent. It's such a relief to have a delicious meal without having to leave the hotel after a long day. If you're staying here, definitely stop by the bar--Chuck will take great care of you! read more

We came here for drinks and appetizers before going out to dinner. The restaurant was very pretty, clean and had a lot of natural lighting! I loved the art, hanging lights, bold patterns, bright colors and exposed brick. You can tell they focused on attention to detail when decorating the space. It was very warm and inviting which makes you feel right at home. They also have a fun set of wings you can take a photo in front of that is located by the elevators. We ordered the Shrimp Cocktail, Spicy Chicken Wings, and Charcuterie Board (I don't believe this item is available on the menu anymore). All three starters came out quickly and tasted good. Service after receiving our food was a bit slow. We had to wave down our waiter 3 times to ask for more drinks, request the extra cheese we had ordered for the charcuterie board, and then again for the bill. Overall though we had a good experience and liked the atmosphere. read more

Great wine, but that's easy. Tried the French dip sandwich and it was so bland you had to take each bite with a chip in an attempt to add salt to it. The cake on the menu ended up being a cupcake...but for $8!! The bartender/server walked around angry and seemed unimpressed with life. If you don't have to be here, then go elsewhere. read more

My friend coordinate my birthday surprise here with my hubs. I have to say they nailed it. The decor to the food and drinks. I ordered the short braised beef and it was delicious. Tender. Fall off the bone kinda meat. The Moscow mule here is my all times favorite thus far! Must try place even if ya just stopping in for drinks! Definitely a place to accommodate big parties! read more

I had the pleasure of getting invited by a friend to the grand opening party of Vaux, the gorgeous restaurant-bar in Canopy by Hilton Hotel. We got to take in the lovely space, opting to sit outside, while being handed complimentary glasses of bubbles. We also had a choice of 4 wines (Sharecropper pinot noir, Montinore pinot noir, Stoller chardonnay & William Marie syrah rose) and 4 beers (Ordinance bloops, Migration patio pale, Buoy Pilz, Breakside wanderlust or Rev nat's sour cherry), if we felt like walking to the bar. Their signature drinks were the Meadowlark (gin), El chupacabra (tequila), Bull on the run (bourbon) and Lemonade stand (vodka). For nibbles, we were served Chèvre (goat cheese) on baguette toast, roasted corn, as well as an array of meats, cheeses and veggies from the contiually refreshed massive charcuterie board. For dessert, there were trays of fresh baked cookies as well as smores marshmellow treat bars. The decor had a hint of bird theme, like the massive south wall covered in a Vaux Bird mural (popular since Vaux (swift) birds are famous for roosting in NW Portland's Chapman school chimney every September). There were 2 private rooms encased in glass. The first had guests plugged in and using the wifi. I am going to guess it was their business center. The other is where we could get a tasting of Freeland spirits gin and bourbons. I'm going to assume that is a room you can reserve for intimate dinners or special occasions. I plan to be following up on whether they have a happy hour, because the ambiance will get me back, one way or the other. read more

We just got a drink here. It was super super quiet. I liked that it was clean and they had pillows for the seating in back. I didn't even know it was actually the hotels bar. I love the bubbly rose cocktail mix drink. So delicious. This is not the solve for a trendy or fun bar atmosphere though. read more

Really enjoyed stopping in while staying at the canopy. The staff on 12/1 was extremely helpful and anticipated all my needs. The avacado toast as absolutely perfect and I loved my iced americano. Will be back again! read more

Came here for brunch and sat outside (cutest seating - they also have indoor) Terrific cocktail menu for brunch - had a watermelon tequila drink that was to die for and the best cinnamon rolls (as big as your head) and SHAKSHUKA. Had been here for cocktails and apps pre-covid but they are doing just fine post Covid as well, highly recommended. read more

So love the design/decor of this place, however I was unimpressed with both there food at brunch and there service... Let me start with saying I very very rarely tip less than 20% anywhere, however I did today, when you practically have to beg to get served, and are just plan ignored and they screwed up all our orders... not good for a restaurant in a nice hotel.... Best of luck to you folks with your business! read more

The standout of Vaux is the space. The beautiful loft and bar has seating areas of all sorts, from charming window cozies to a community table. The downstairs brick dining room has gorgeous traditional tables, art on the walls, and all throughout the space is glorious industrial-chic furniture. The menu is less exciting, with some good but slightly overpriced and not particularly memorable offerings like a charcuterie and some sandwiches. Vaux is a secret haven for remote workers and those wanting some quiet in the heart of the city. Kind staff, many drinks ranging from espresso to sodas to alcohol, and a wide open interior make vaux a great place to pull out a laptop and hack away on whatever passion project you have for an afternoon. read more

Total surprise! New restaurant recently opened in the Canopy Hilton in the Pearl District. Needed a place for a quick dinner on Valentine's Day before the theatre and decided to try this out due to convenience. Great industrial decor and we were seated at the family table which was a big slab of marble with 10 leather back high chairs and it worked great. My daughter didn't love her salmon, great crust but a bit over cooked. My pumpkin gnocchi was delicious and everyone loved it. Nice sweet and savory dish. My husband's Caesar was phenomenal, but his beef chili was the fave of all of us. They have a late happy hour with a different menu and so keep that in mind. Interested to see drink prices because most wine by the glass did start at $14 and went up. read more

Oh no. So, so bad. Would not recommend at all. We only ordered a side of the roasted broccolini and an order of the carbonara. The broccolini was ice cold. My guess is it was leftover from the day before, taken out of the refrigerator and given to us. The carbonara was not like any carbonara we have had before. No flavor, thick noodles, mushy pork. These two simple dishes that were pretty terrible would make me wary of anything else served here. read more

Stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. The restaurant wasn't open on Monday but we had drinks at Vaud the next night. My friend and I had The Lemonade Stand and our other friend had the Old Fashioned. The drinks were strong and delicious. I even asked the restaurant for the recipe after the fact and they provided and I can't wait to make at home. read more

Stayed at the hotel and decided to have breakfast this morning. Everything was delicious and fresh! Chic and funky ambiance. We had avocado toast, a freshly made apple turnover and muffin, overnight oats, a kids plate and a delicious latte. The sausage in my scramble was homemade and very good. I thought everything we had was far above average quality and flavor and I look forward to having breakfast here again tomorrow. read more

It's not a restaurant, it's an abomination that is soon to close. A breakfast place that has no potatoes. None. 1 waitress, 1 customer and two "cooks". My English muffin was limp, barely warm. The cheese was still in its unmelted for. I'm the omelette and the line cooks decided it was the the right thing to do to come look for themselves and tell me "it looks OK to me". Sadly, this is nothing new here, all the managers could do,was apologize and offer a free night. Not for mad food but because the staff decided to argue with me over what cooked food looks like, as if there is more than one way. I love the Canopy hotel and have stayed here since they opened, even during the pandemic once, the restaurant was never great. Today it was awful and set the tone for my day poorly. I don't come to a hotel for a free night or breakfast, I come to be welcome and warm, like Neko exuded when I checked in and even after the boondoggle breakfast. Don't need to worry about recommending it, it will be a new concept next week, I am sure. read more

First, breakfast is free for Hilton diamond members. If I only has espresso, I'd give 5 stars. The breakfast egg dishes were cold, literally called -- all 4 of them. No one wants cold egg dishes that are meant to be served hot, even for free. Dinner, it is a ghost town, yet with 3-4 staff water can't be refilled, a place setting was absent and I had to talk directly to the chef three times before I just got up and walked out. Staff are nice when you catch them, but service can not be an afterthought for dinner, and breakfast (when service was great) can't be cold. If a place is open, service must be available. read more

As a guest at the hotel, there by myself on Christmas Eve, I thought I would try the restaurant for dinner. Certainly glad I did. I sat at the bar, which was busy, only one seat available. The bartender is a friendly gent. I had a can of local hazy IPA. Then ordered the Short Ribs and Smashed Potatoes. The ribs did not need a knife, very tender and flavorful. The potatoes were equally delicious, being small potatoes smashed with skins still remaining. Nice way to end the Christmas day over a great meal. read more

I live a 10 blocks from here in the NW, which is likely how I found myself at this hotel restaurant... and oh, what a mistake it was. Don't be lured by the menu noting their "chef" and "executive chef," there is no food I ordered that my 15 year old couldn't have made. The tomato soup has an origin story from Campbell's that tried to be doctored up with a dollop of Cisco cremé fraiché (or was that Daisy sour cream?). The grilled cheese sounded promising with croissant bread, but I can't imagine how they possibly made butter, carbs, and cheese tasteless. Really, they didn't hold back I on the fat, why stop at taste? Thanks for the kettle potato chips with it though, really the only thing that was finished. Unfortunately it didn't stop there... you too reader now will privy to the Caesar salad (side of tuna salad) "experience." Think wilted bag-o'-lettuce (spring mix) drenched in gas station dressing (Heinz packet style) with croutons made from day-old sesame seed bagels and topped with more tasteless cheese. The tuna salad should have been in the form of a scoop, because it is obviously a throw back from grammar school, where the addition of carrots helped make it seem "healthy." Not edible, unless you are accustomed to grocery store (grocery outlet) salads. The Bloody Mary was equally tasteless. The only redeeming quality: Double Mountain cider on tap and Kyla hard kombucha! I didn't take a picture of what I ordered, but this was going out to the next sucker... read more

Vaux - Caesar Salad - gross! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Stayed at the Canopy and tried dinner at the Vaux. Ordered the charcuterie board. For $15, the salami and prosciutto were old and tasted bad. Plus, it didn't come with any crackers or bread (you have to pay extra for crackers). We ordered the beef bourguignon and the sirloin steak. The steak came out cold to the touch and the beef bourguignon tasted reheated and awful. We will not be returning - not even for complimentary breakfast. read more

What a disaster, mostly on the service level. The on-line menu did not match the offerings. Water glass unfilled the entire meal. Uninspired space. Asked for a "charcuterie and cheese" plate without meat, only to be told that they "would not do substitutions"--so I have to get meat? Totally ungracious service and mediocre food, e.g., a radicchio-based Caesar salad. Just not worth the price with a non-notable experience. read more

Super excited about our Christmas dinner here. Lobby had dirty dishes on all the tables. (Happy hour)? Cocktails were delicious, kudos to the bartender Appetizer came after our first course which wasn't what they described on the menu. ‍ Second course was delicious, good job chef Third course, dessert. Hire a pastry chef stat. Looked like a purchase from the grocery store. We asked for water numerous times and finally got up to approach a server and ask again. Same for more cocktails. It seemed as though our server didn't like us. Never checked on us, didn't make eye contact when near by and seemed pissed. This put a damper on our evening, very disappointing after having such high hopes. Definitely will not go back. read more

I went in to pick up a drink to take to my room for the evening. A simple high west rye, one shot Manhattan cost $30! My last stay here same drink was $17. Something is up with the Canopy hotel and their restaurant. Not sure if business is so bad that they need to Jack up prices or if they're just getting big heads. Whichever it is, they won't see my business any longer. Too bad, was a nice place pre pandemic. read more

My husband and I went here on our honeymoon and were blown away. We were searching for a breakfast spot and stumbled across Vaux. First off, this was the first restaurant we have eaten at since Covid hit and we felt so safe. The staff were respectful and were always masked and the outdoor seating area gave plenty of room for those passing by to not be too close to us while eating. The food was incredible. We ordered the potato hash and the breakfast nachos and were obsessed. The coffee and orange juice were delicious as well. If you're looking for a delicious breakfast at a great price, come here!!! read more

The atmosphere alone arguably makes this one of the best restaurants in the Pearl, but don't get me wrong, the food is EXCELLENT. The interior design is probably so nice because the restaurant is actually part of a hotel (the Hilton) which I later found out, but that doesn't stop any regular Joe from stopping by for a drink/appetizer to feel fancy for a minute. I'll be back here for sure :) the seasonal vegetables are really good, and the Caesar salad is delicious! I haven't tried drinks from here yet, but that's for next time ;) read more

Cozy, elegant, friendly, elevated, accessible, excellent. We were a party of five and had 6 appetizers, soup and two entrees between us. They were all magnificent. The staff was attentive yet not overbearing, kept everything straight, included us in a Gin tasting and didn't mind that we stayed for three hours. Can't wait to go back. read more

Am so happy that this is one place that has come through to This side sold 2020-21 with flying colors. I was here in December 2019 and thought the drinks weee great and the food OK. Now the drinks are still great and the food is awesome also! Had a wonderful chicken mole and great beet salad. This will definitely be a new neighborhood staple! read more

Convenience, service, and space are great. In other words, if you are staying at the hotel, if you want friendly service, and if you are looking for a good atmosphere, then this is the place for you. However, the food is sadly subpar and severely overpriced. Nothing original, exciting, intriguing, or even memorable about the menu. Pathetic, for there are so many restaurants within walking distance that are both astronomically better in quality, and cheaper! Nice try Canopy, but it is a "no" from me. read more

I was very impressed with my dinner at Vaux. For a new restaurant, they really run a tight ship. Our server Shannon was very knowledgeable and full of great recommendations. She was also very patient with my picky family members visiting from out of state! From the quality of service, to the craft cocktails, and all the food-- I was very impressed. Great use of local products from the wine to the fresh ingredients. Also had way more of a chic Pearl District restaurant feel than a hotel which was pleasant. Will be back! read more

I had been very excited for dinner at Vaux tonight - and boy did we make a mistake. I rarely complain about restaurants because I know what a tough industry it is to please people. But this was beyond bad. We made a 6:30 reservation for dinner for our family of 3. We ordered cocktails/drinks, entrees, sides, and appetizers. While at the restaurant, we saw three other parties seated near us come in later, get served dinner, and leave before we ever got our food. In addition, the wait staff never came by to do so much as fill our water glasses. We finally got our dinner a few minutes after 8:00 after sitting and waiting with our empty glasses. The restaurant made no attempt to make it right by offering us a drink while we waited, nor did they offer to comp any part of our meal when we made them aware of our situation. They did offer apologies, with our waitress stating that she felt bad for us, but she really had no explanation as to why we waited so long. The manager also apologized to my husband, but that was it. Two thumbs down - we'll never go back. read more
