Sure! Here’s your review in simpler English, same length:

Better Than Most Hotel Restaurants!

Hotel restaurants are usually just okay, but this one was really good. The service was friendly and the place felt nice. The corn chowder was thick and tasty, and the bread with it was very fresh – even though we came late in the day. The fries were super crispy outside and soft inside. The veggie dish was simple but fun and healthy. If you’re nearby, it’s a good place to eat!

Decided to try my hotel’s (Mariott Downtown Waterfront) in house restaurant Proof*Reader after a day of conferencing, and it did not disappoint. Everything was great! From the ambience (80’s pop and rock) playing softly. The exceptional service by Frank, AND the food.
Italian veggie soup with a rosemary bread. I could have stopped there BUT Fried brussel sprouts with what I believe were mini sweet potatos and roasted peppers and Chili sweet/spicy wings (not hot). Had plenty to take home. Topped off with the Bourbon Apple cake and ice cream for dessert.

Did both breakfast and dinner (appetizers) here in the Marriott off the lobby area as time-constrained during weekend trip.
First, a complement to the excellent staff at this location, both friendly and super efficient throughout. Like they enjoy working here – hard to find.

A solid 4.4 average for our meals at the PR, mostly good for this level of restaurant, tho the ribeye bites disappointed in both taste and presentation – increase the size if the steak bites so it’s more distinct from the rest of the meal.

Breakfast was excellent, definitely exceeding our expectations, see pics.

Highly recommend this Marriott for a weekend stay. Don’t miss the Press Release coffee shop on the other end of the lobby, seems well run and good coffee.
The “M” club on 3 was a good alternative too, incl fruit, smaller buffet selection of course, multi-drink machine coffee.

Seated with one other group present, waited 30 minutes for a skillet and croissant. Ignored by waiters until the food arrived.

Skillet tasted good, but it was mostly a greasy pile of 5 different meats. And way too much, maybe 2lbs of food! Just less meat, and less kinds of meat, would’ve drastically improved the dish.

Coffee was just passible, in a town overflowing with great coffee. The croissant had a hard crust as if it were reheated in an air frier.

If you’re in the hotel and have time, it’s not the worst choice, but there’s just so much better food and great service on every block downtown so you should go elsewhere.

Minor gripe: It’s a whiskey lounge but I saw no whiskey displayed… Just weird to not see a selection of whiskey when you walk into a whiskey louge.

Ambience is amazing. Food was immaculate. Service was fantastic and fast. Drinks were incredible. New favorite spot. Wish there were more locations around Portland Metro.

Nice to have a full service restaurant on the property after a long day of travel and meetings. The staff service was 5 start kind and helpful. The concierge lounge had a common breakfast menu, and a nice touch on self serve coffee and flavored water drinks. Beds and rooms are modern and trendy, with amazing views of the river. The hallways and lobby are in need of a remodel. Doors, hallways, and lobby give the impression of an older 3 star property.

Ducked in for a nightcap, Friday night, place was packed , our server was clearly not having a good evening, but to be fair, she had a lot on her plate. Great whiskey selection, good cocktails and nice vibe for a hotel bar, but pretty loud, almost clubby.
OK in a pinch.

Fantastic selection of whiskey, and a great menu to boot. Both their breakfast and dinner menu have delicious options, served perfectly. For breakfast their is perfect, and their house specialty burger with a bacon jam is great. Service is super friendly and the kitchen is fast. Ate there a few times while staying at the Marriott it is located in, and was not disappointed. Definitely recommend if you are staying at the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront, or a nearby hotel. The decor is classy… Kind of a modern rustic with nice art pieces and lighting.

Woah. If you love good food and tailored drinks this is the place to be. The staff are super friendly and always ready to educate and talk about the food and drinks. The Proof Reader Bourbon pairing is a dram come true (see what I did there?) Def an event to check out!
