ROCK BOTTOM BREWERY HITS ROCK BOTTOM
Food *Service ***Ambiance *This was one of several visits to Rockbottom Brewery over the past three years, but we won't be going back anytime soon. The place has really deteriorated. We sat at the bar for dinner. The game was blaring from the overhead speakers. Couldn't hear ourselves or the server. Asked the manager to turn down the speakers (live TV and commercials), but he wouldn't turn it down enough for us to be able to enjoy our meal. So, we moved to the mezzanine with the unfinished ceiling, wires hanging everywhere (probably not to code). Jambalaya terrible tiny portion of Salty, poorly seasoned rice gruel. Worst Jambalaya I've ever had (and I've had more than a few). Chicken Waldorf salad meager, dry, and paltry with mostly lettuce and little content. Cocktails weak, watered down. The manager (on his own) deducted one meal and the drinks from the bill. Kitchen staff off duty come out into the restaurant to play video gambling games. Restrooms filthy. Even though our server was cheerful and tried to "make it better" the visit was a flop. No need to return here when there are so many good restaurants in Portland that ARE making a culinary contribution. Something has gone very wrong at Rock Bottom Brewery -- we think it has hit rock bottom.
