Grill68 Steakhouse

"Can be a little loud when busy. Seating leaves something to be desired and needs more personal seating. The staff there was absolutely wonderful from the moment we walked in till the time we left. Super friendly and attentive. The food... Oh my, the food... my wife had the ribeye, and I had the 6oz filet mignon. We both had moments of bliss per bite. I have never had a steak so flavorful, so moist, so tender that I would rather let it break down on its own rather than chew it. I should have ordered the 10oz instead as the 6 Oz left me wanting more. I am a picky eater, never do I eat the fat on a steak... today that changed. Couldn't have picked a better place for a steak."

"Was optimistic about a first-time visit. First, walked in three minutes before our reservation and stood near the menus/entry for three minutes while people looked at us and talked with each other. Kinda weird. Not a long time, but being looked at the whole time? Pretty weird. Then taken to a table. Tiny table. Bread was good, with compound butter. Not great, but good. Cocktails were good. Salad was cheap and less than boring. Steak was well-cooked and tasty. Lamb chops were very strangely thin. Shrimp was very under-seasoned. And waitress said we would get 4 shrimp to share, but 3 arrived. Ordered risotto as a side. (menu is ala carte, btw). It was NOT risotto! Wikipedia says risotto is "an Italian rice dish cooked with broth until it reaches a creamy consistency." Their risotto was rice with cheese and mushrooms. Zero creaminess. ZERO. Like a bowl of rice at a Chinese restaurant with cheese stirred in. See pic. Disappointing. And we shared the salad, the entree and the risotto. Also, the staff was not attentive. And seemed to lack a team approach. Missing items, leaving plates on the table for a long time. Not high-end service like the prices imply. And it was $125.50. Before tip! SO overpriced for what you get. Yes, they can make a cocktail. And cook a steak. But otherwise, a big disappointment."

"A friend and I went to Grill68 tonight for my birthday, and it was an EXCELLENT experience. We went early, right when they opened, and were the only ones in the restaurant. Elaine completely spoiled us, letting us taste several wines, and helping us find just what we wanted. We shared the shrimp scampi, the charred ceasar salad, the mashed potatoes, and the porterhouse. The meal was downright wonderful! Terrific flavors, excellent service, and a nice ambiance. I really love to support small, local businesses and the wonderful restaurants that are pushing out from Portland into the 'burbs, and this is one of them. Highly recommend!"

"Great place, minimal fuss and wonderful food. The entrance could use some better signage, not knowing whether to wait to be seated, or where to go. We dined in the outdoor tent. Good seating, and our Server was kind and friendly. She recommended the Cajun prawns with pesto, and it was prepared perfectly. Our Ribeye and NY were tender and delicious. The shareable mashed potatoes were flavorful and hearty. Dessert was a bit simple, but also good. Will be back again!"
