I met a friend recently at Sapphire for the first time. I was the only one in the place when I arrived at 4:30 on a Sunday. I was promptly greeted and given a menu. My friend arri...

Best Mai-Tai in Portland 10/30/2006

Hard to spot with all of the construction on Hawthorne now. Make sure you know where to look! Mai-Tai and spinach artichoke dip were great. Service average/unattentive. Imaginative decor. Has many of the same elements as my favorite bar, Shanghi Tunnel. Cute, clean ladies room as well. Pros: Decor Cons: Service more

Stylish and Sassy! 10/3/2006

Friends and I met there for a cocktail and everything was wonderful! Great service from Angel, the chicken dish I had there was to die for, and it was very affordable. The ambiance was great, too. I heard that there are new owners, don't know what it was like before, but for me this time it was wonderful! Pros: Great Atmosphere, Great Food, Great People more

Eye (and Mouth) Candy 10/18/2005

Wow, how did the Sapphire Hotel find so many good-looking people to work there? Yow. Drinks are good, and the atmosphere is fantastic, although I did get lost in the bathroom because it was so dark -- how am I supposed to touch up my lipstick and powder my nose in there!??! Please get one more light bulb... I'm not asking much! 25 watts would surely be enough. Service was great - very friendly, and the times I've been there for just drinks, it's been just as attentive as when I've ordered food. The food is okay, but the drinks and atmosphere are the strong selling points of the Sapphire Hotel. I also love the location -- after 3 or 4 Fuzzy Kittens, I can just stumble home! And since it's non-smoking I don't smell like an ashtray in the morning. Yay! Pros: Atmosphere, drinks, Hot, hot servers Cons: Nonsmoking YAY!, nasty hummus plate more

The Sapphire is a great find! 7/7/2005

This is my all-time favorite bar! It has great atmosphere--dark, lots of candles, wood---it takes you back in time--I think it used to be a brothel... Great specialty cocktails and yummy appetizers. I love the bread and oil, as well as the cheese plates. It's NON-SMOKING, which is awesome!! It can be VERY crowded and loud, so don't go there if you are hoping for a really intimate night. It can be hard to hear! Going with a large group may be a problem unless you're great friends and don't mind snuggling at a table. Maybe you'll luck out and get seating area in the back of the bar--love it! Great people watching too! Pros: Atmosphere, Great drinks, NON SMOKING Cons: Parking, Limited space more

Great Drinks, Great Time 5/19/2005

We stepped into the Sapphire Hotel on Thursday evening. It wasn't too crowded. But enough people to make it interesting. We just had drinks. Chimay was on TAP! and delicious. My date had a kir royale which was beautiful. Our waitress was attentive and funny. We had just eaten so we couldn't eat but the food delivered to the next table smelled and looked great. We would go back again and bring others. Really liked it. Pros: Beautiful bar, Drink selection, Good smells more

Great Upper Hawthorne Night Spot 9/22/2004

As soon as you step into The Sapphire there is a sense of timelessness--you cannot help but love the candles and decor. The service has always been both beautiful and accomodating. I tend to go on Thursday nights just because of the sprightly revolving jazz ensembles, swilling a fine glass of pinot noir while bathed in the glow of the beautiful women that mill about. Red and gold, young and old, Sapphire Hotel, you have me sold. more
