The Portrait Bar

“A really great cocktail bar with a great food menu. Each cocktail is a specialty item, with a huge focus on the bar to make something delicious and interesting, and for everything we had they succeeded. We were here for the food, which was indeed very good. The prices on the food items really exceed what I’d pay for these in any other setting - yep, the hot dog was superb, but it was also a standard hot dog with some nice toppings that was over $20. The burger was similar - comfortably worth the wait, but over $27 for just a burger taht size is a bit too much. That said, not enough gets mentioned about the service and ambiance - what a room! Such a lovely place to sit and enjoy. The service was also A+ - attentive to anything we needed, fast. I’d come back for a special occasion, for sure.”

“Get a resy! Came here for a birthday date night. Originally booked too late we were waitlisted on resy but a spot opened up at 8:30pm on a Saturday and we got it! It’s in the hotel - so a little bit of a maze to find inside. The place has warm soft lighting. Big cozy couches and chairs - although that does make it awkward to eat a sit down meal. If you’re coming to eat and don’t want to balance a plate on a tiny stool - opt for a bar seating. Drinks were creative! But we also liked to just order a simple martini and it came with a bowl of mixings like more olives, pickles and even a pickled onion? Super delicious. Martini ended up being my favourite drink. For food we got the foie gras toast (super rich and creamy), the hot dog and the burger and fries. I like the hot dog a bit more as it came on a brioche bun and was super flavourful. The burger was also nice but it was just a burger with cheese? No tomatoes, onions or anything else other than the meat/cheese. I think this place is super booked up, they had to ask us to leave so they could seat the next reso! we didn’t even realize nearly 1.5 hours flew by. Although they did let us finish our drinks and even comped the last one. Phenomenal service, they do a good job at making sure everyone has a good time.”

“Reservations are a must. Burger is great and waiter is very much pitching the hot dog as very very good. Virgin white cosmo, whisky sour and chopin martini, hot dog and egg nog pictured. It's dark so reading glass will be helpful”

“Oh my. Where should I start. As soon as I walked in - I was greeted by name (even though it’s only my second time here!). Sitting at the bar was amazing! Beth (I believe) is a great bartender and her cocktails are top notch. Well balanced, nothing extra - so perfect! Food was great too and atmosphere was fantastic! Manager was checking how we doing during visit. Overall one of the best experiences I’ve had for a while. Thank you”

“Came for my friend’s bday, and they hand wrote a bday note and gave us some popcorn, which was cute :) The vibes are 11/10, and great for pics. The cocktails were yummy and location themed, but def on the pricey end ($25 each 😟). Would come back on a date - Mapo district - Seoul, Korea: 8/10, sweet - Elmhurst - Queens, NY: 7/10, a little spicey - St. James - London, England: 8/10, a little floral - Marrakesh - Morocco: 9/10, fav one out of all four. Sweet”
