I didn't have a fully immersed Portland's experience, so perhaps I am selling them a bit short, but as far as my experience went, it was A-OK.
We stopped in because of its proximity to the light rail and our need for alcoholic refreshment. We had a couple beers (small selection - but we found something we really liked) and a glass of wine (reasonably priced, tasty) The service was fine, the prices fine. Everything was fine.
And that's just it. Does 'Fine' merit a 'Yay! I'm a fan', four star review. No it does not. Maybe the food is out of this world. Maybe at night this place lights up and sparkles in a way that the daytime cannot convey. Its on the light rail, so I may give it another attempt, but on first glance, Portland's is just A-OK.
