Higgins Review

One of Portland's original farm-to-table restaurants, this classic eatery, opened in 1994, built its menu—and its reputation—on its use of local, seasonal, organic ingredients. Higgins' dishes display the diverse bounty of the Pacific Northwest, incorporating ingredients like heirloom tomatoes, forest mushrooms, mountain huckleberries, Pacific oysters, Oregon Dungeness crab, and locally raised pork. A bistro menu is available in the adjoining bar, where comfortable leather booths and tables provide an alternative to the formal, white-tableclothed main dining room. Don't miss the house-made charcuterie plate with Higgins pickles or the tender duck confit entree. Vegetarian options are available. Reservations are recommended.

    Great for our First Night in Portland

    This place fills up quickly, but we were lucky to be given a table at the window. The food comes out from the kitchen very quickly, and was excellently prepared and attractive on the plate.

    Enjoyable Meal at Higgins

    We have dined at Higgins only one time for dinner. The dining room is very nicely appointed and we were seated at a table by the window which was nice. The King Salmon special was excellent, the salad was just average but very good, nothing really special about it.
    Our server had been there for many years and was very cordial and friendly. He made the meal here lots of fun. We look forward to returning here again and again. It has been a Portland classic for many, many years.
