The Woodsman Tavern

Excellent food and service. It's very open so it's a little difficult to converse due to noise level.

An absolutely stellar experience having brunch here. A must-visit in Portland, hands-down. Try all the pastries because the chef is crushing it.

Disappointing. Poor service, under seasoned dishes (except the deviled eggs) and mandatory 20% tip. Just imbed the price in the dishes if it is mandatory. View menu

So overpriced! Got a thin steak for $50 and it wasn’t even good! Also bad service but they add an automatic 20% gratuity so the servers don’t need to be friendly or care.

Last time I had been was precovid. Disappointed this time around. Perhaps lots of changes in the kitchen. Service was at best mediocre by Diana. Appetizers were better than the entrees. The hostess and other servers seemed fantastic and attentive.

Great location with a wonderful staff and food experience! Great cocktail selection, probably one of the best I encountered in Portland during my short stay. The bartenders were friendly and had a lot of creativity in their options. The food was good and their happy hour had plenty of cheaper options. View menu

Came here with my family for happy hour. Restaurant has a high end feel but a relaxed atmosphere. The food was very good, but on the rich side. Complete bar with legit craft cocktails, nice beer selection, plus extensive and interesting wine selection. Not a great place to let your kids go nuts but surprisingly family friendly, even had a kids menu. Overall, I thought happy hour was a good value. I am agnostic on the mandatory 20% tip, but I thought they earned it.

Automatic 20% gratuity. There were only 2 of us in the party. They god rid of the deviled eggs and the egg sandwich appetizer was watery: The wedge salad had giant chunks of pickled onion that were a terrible edition. The salad also had an assortment of fresh herbs that did not go with the other ingredients. The fries are okay but also did not need the addition of rosemary: I was very disappointed and now my friend won’t let me pick any more restaurants. Did I mention 20% gratuity automatica … – show

What is not to love?! The service was on point, even being his second day. I had a Vodka Sour which I rarely order since it's hard to find a bar stocked with egg whites, yet they executed perfectly. Everything we ate was delicious. Hush puppies, butter board, cured steelhead, oysters, and onion dip..I'm drooling just thinking about it all. Simple food using great ingredients done just right. Whoever did the interior design absolutely nailed it, love the woodsman vibe, even the bathroom candles … – show View menu
