Library Taphouse Kitchen - Portland

The food at this restaurant is way too expensive for what you get. I do not recommend going here. The service is also bad, so I suggest avoiding this place and trying out some other places that are not as focused on making money.

I had previously dined at this restaurant and had a good experience, so I decided to return. The food was just as good as I remembered, but unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. Our waiter was new and still learning the ropes, which I can empathize with. However, there were some issues that were out of their control, particularly with billing. Despite only one of the four drinks we ordered being priced at $9, all were rung up at that amount. I only realized this after paying with my credit card, which made rectifying the error a challenge as none of the staff had manager authorization. To add to the confusion, we were informed that the price of two drinks had been increased by $1, although this change had not been reflected on the menu. While I understand that prices can fluctuate, it is important for a restaurant to keep their menu updated, especially when it is accessed through a QR code link. Overall, the experience was disappointing. Food: 4/5 Service: 1/5

On a quiet Saturday afternoon with a half dozen other diners we waited 40 mins for a chicken sandwich. Apparently there was a new cook in the house, but really, 40 minutes for a fried chicken sandwich all of the components of which were clearly pre-prepared. This seems to be a running criticism of this place. And the sandwich was no great shakes either; certainly NOT an $18 sandwich! Again, a common complaint in other reviews. The waitress tried so hard to keep us happy, otherwise we would have left and the review would have been a single star. Go to this place for a beer, forget the food.

I went to this restaurant with some colleagues from work. They have a lot of TV screens, but we were there to have drinks and dinner. They had a variety of beers to choose from (I tried a local Portland brew, although I can't remember the name, but it was delicious). The food, specifically the cheeseburger I ordered, was excellent. The atmosphere was very cool. The service was friendly. I would definitely come back for a laid-back evening with coworkers or friends.

Great food and good service I would definitely come back. The only reason I wouldn't give a 5 star is because it is a bit pricey.
