My husband and I had a spontaneous date night here. My great aunt used to talk about this place and its music, and I've never been. I called them ahead of time and was told the lounge was packed but there was seating available in the dining room. We made a reservation and arrived five minutes late thanks to unexpected traffic, but we were seated immediately with no flak. This restaurant is very quiet, which is a blessing because I have sensitive hearing. 

The dining experience was fantastic. The food was delicious and I was pleased to see that they had three solid vegetarian options available on the menu. We ordered the vegan entree and to our surprise the chef came out to check on our meal to ensure it was to our satisfaction(!). Throughout the evening the service was fabulous and the maître d' was the most engaging person we'd ever spoken to. He and our server are truly what made it a memorable experience. The music was live and divine as well. 

Overall we agreed that we were hugely satisfied and that we'll return. Yes the bill was over $100, and it's rare for vegetarians like us to crack that $100 mark for an evening out as it's mostly meat menu items that tend to be expensive. But for the food and quality of service, the price was totally commensurate and happily paid.

I should add, that because we sat in the dining room that there was no cover fee for the live jazz.

Three of us - mature women all - went to Wilfs to enjoy a glass or two of wine and hear some jazz.  We were aware of the $8.00 cover charge for the music and knew it was an expensive restaurant but we were not planning to eat dinner and thus were rather stunned to hear that there was a required $18.00 charge for food and drink.  This information was not included anywhere on the website.  The waiter who served us was so rude that we wondered whether he felt having to wait on three mature women was  beneath him. On top of that,  the  onion soup looked and tasted burnt and was hardly edible.  We all agreed, Wilfs will not be seeing us again.

Nice restaurant and bar in the historic Union railroad station in downtown Portland. The staff seem to always ask people if they were taking the train which was kind of fun. Upscale so the prices reflect that but not too bad. The soup I ordered was quite good.
