Swank and Swine! Go have cocktails before dinner and take in the view! In a great hotel and the menu is modern. Chicken fried oysters made this southern girl happy!

Discovered this place via Groupon and went for a Sunday brunch date with my hubby. The establishment is very Portland; nice wooden interior with high ceilings. For brunch, we ordered the Chicken & Waffles topped with spiced honey cream and drizzled with black pepper maple syrup. We also ordered the Florentine Omlet filled with crimini mushrooms, spinach, sweet basil, and chevre cheese. They were both good, but lacked a bit of flavor. Also, the portion of the chicken was dinky compared to the size of the waffle. To be honest, not the best brunch we’ve had. And we love to brunch. Service was great, though. Oh welp, at least we tried it.
Give me a Direction. This is my second time to Swank and I have finally made a decision about the review – good quality food and preparation, but the overall food direction seems a little murky. I am not sure if they are trying to be farm to table with freshness and local producers first (duck from Vermont, King Salmon from Alaska that they say is line caught, but the season has yet to come so definitely from a year ago or farmed – I stayed away), or are they trying to be more classic in there presentation. Still up for debate.Overall, the staff have always been very polite and helpful. When questions asked of the menu, answers are given or found out. I do feel picky about asking where there food is sourced, but the waiter did tell us that they were proud to try to be as local as possible. Love the space and ease of parking in the cinema garage across the street. The space is modern with a wonderful view of the courtyard at Director park – lively scene at night.Now to the food – we had six of us so I will touch on some the selections. The Foie Gras served whole and grilled was fantastic as always. The oysters from Netarts were perfectly cleaned and served with a wonderful and not overpowering mignonette which let the sweetness of the oysters shine – one of the best mignonette I have had in Portland. The beet salad with Troutdale produced beets was nice, clean and fresh with a perfect test of earthiness.Entrees – duck superb, but could have had the fat a little more rendered – just picky that way. Scallops – simple, fresh and cooked perfectly. Rib eye steak, painted hills, was a little on the thin side for me, and slightly med rare to medium, and definitely had rested too long because it was Luke warm when it got to me – also it came with fiddleheads which could be left off this plate.Overall, it is a place I would recommend, they just really need to define their cuisine and go for it.Food: 34/40Atmosphere/ambience/decor: 17/20 – primarily because the bathroom is a journey to get too.Service/staff: 19/20 – like the manager making the rounds and checkin inValue: 17/20 Total: 87/100
What a great meal. Everything we had was fantastic. 3 apps soup was so smooth with lovely chunks of crab. Son had the mushroom risotto big chunks of mushroom with a tight consistency. Pork belly was to die for. Crispy skin melt in your mouth fat. My main was the duck. Not thinly sliced but two wonderful sections perfectly cooked with a great crispy skin. Apple sauce was great compliment to the duck. Wife’s scallops were really good loved the lemon foam with them. Son had the lamb. Perfect cook. Deconstructed Apple pie using pannacotta was amazing. Overall great meal. Dessert took a bit too long but not horribly and without saying anything the manager comp our desserts. Really worth the visit.
Swank. Great service
