So good, I had it twice! Bullard Tavern is conveniently located inside of the Woodlark Hotel. The restaurant has a dark and moody aesthetic accompanied by low lighting. I sat at the bar and Jack was my bartender both times. He was great! Very attentive and helpful! Both nights I went during Happy Hour. They offer happy hour between 3-6 P.M. The first night I went, I had the smoked chicken wings, a margarita, and the Bullard fries off of the happy hour menu. The smoked chicken wings were plentiful, which came with 3 big wings. These wings were very messy and sticky accompanied by a sweet and spicy flavor. They had a good flavor, but I wouldn't get them again due to the messiness of them. The fries on the happy hour menu were huge as well. The fries came in a big bowl, which is plenty to either share or eat by yourself, if you're really hungry. The next day, I ordered a spicy margarita and the San Antonio smoked half chicken. My margarita was delicious, but main dish was outstanding. This dish is perfectly made with well-balanced and bold flavors. It's truly something magical (my mouth is watering thinking about this dish). Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Bullard Tavern. From the crafty cocktails to the unique food selections, I had a great experience. If you're thinking about trying Bullard Tavern, don't hesitate, just go! Also, be sure to order the San Antonio smoked half chicken. You won't regret it!

Thunder provided us with a fabulous Christmas experience. Our party of eight arrived without a reservation on a Sunday night. He sat us in the private dining room, as it was not reserved or in use when we arrived. His recommendations were all superlative. Top-knotch service, great food and delicious libations.

Oysters brought us to this place and were on point--they were so good that I didn't even get a chance to take a picture. Frankly, everything we ordered was delicious and the carrots stole the show. It had a nice glaze with a little heat and I appreciated the pairing with pumpkin seeds to provide the crunch that you don't get in the same way from the cooked carrot. Its located in the bottom floor of a hotel but had it own unique vibe and ambiance. I also appreciated the host holding onto my luggage since I was going to the airport after dinner. I'm definitely coming back and recommend you check it out!

Visited Bullard Tavern again after a several year gap. The dinner we had was so delicious, I'm still thinking about it! This time we sat in the dining area with a view of the kitchen, which for a foodie like me is always fun. The action and fast pace in which they work to create so many incredible dishes is amazing. We started with cocktails and shared a roasted beet salad that was served over peppery arugula, to balance the sweetness of the beets, with whipped goat cheese, candied cashews (a deviation for the more common candied pecans) and Cara Cara seeds. the maple bourbon vinaigrette fought it all together - crisp, sweet, savory with texture - the perfect salad. Along with a bottle of red, we each enjoyed our own main dish. My friend had the salmon and absolutely loved it. Craving meat, I ordered the pork chop when my first choice, the steak, was sold out. No worries, it ended up being the right choice! Cooked to perfection, the smoke added a distinct flavor element without overpowering. The sides of roasted potatoes and asparagus, the perfect accompaniment. For desert, we opted for espresso martinis to cap off a perfect meal. Ambiance is dark and cozy with plenty of bar seats if that's your thing. I had completely forgotten about Bullard so I was thrilled when my friend suggested it. They are definitely back in my rotation when I want a nice dinner out.

Went over there last night as we couldn't get reservation on another place and it did not disappoint. Menu is not huge, but possibly Bullard has the most underrated steaks in Portland. It's quite limited with 3 to choose from but they do make those well. I took pork chops and that was good as well. Restaurant is the ground floor of woodlark hotel and so for dinner do a reservation. It's a decent place for a quiet date night if you want to have a quiet date night. Good decent drink menu and Texas cheese cake as dessert perfectly rounded up the evening. pineapple snaquiri and something non alcoholic

I went to Bullard Tavern while I was on a business trip and absolutely loved it! The ambiance of the place was very classy and upscale, and set the vibes for the night. The waitress was very attentive and even provided recommendations for us as we didn't know what to choose from (so many options!). Everything tasted delicious and even though we were full, of course we had to order desert. Overall I would return, and don't really have any cons for this place! It was an amazing experience.

Was just in downtown Portland overnight with my wife and we were looking for a good lunch spot with some good drinks as well. Google was our friend and led us to this easy to miss spot. We sat at the bar with no wait, which was great because the bartender was very talented. Not only was the food very good (quinoa salad with pork belly was delicious), but the drinks were even better. The Captain Planet definitely made my all time top ten!
