worst bartender ever
after that bartender ignored us for 20 minutes, he couldnt help but be condescending when he finally got to us...we said nevermind and just left

The service I experienced was by far the worst I have seen in Portland. However, when the drinks/food eventually arrived I was quite impressed. The lousy service will prevent me from going back in the future. Again, not a bad first round, but don't expect a second anytime soon.

Avoid Like Plague
Bartender was difficult, sarcastic, mocking. Might not have like how I dressed, looked, who knows?
I walked in, ordered a drink (only customer in room was me). Mr.Bartender repeats my drink order in semi-questioning mock voice. Surprised, I tell him how the drink is made, he yells "I KNOW HOW IT'S MADE." I told him to forget it, he yells "OK!" as I walk out.
Don't waste your time here-- find a friendly bar to take your money.

Great Experience
Unlike many of the other review, my experience was great. We went during Happy Hour and had a blast trying as many of the drinks that we could. The food was really good and we had a fabulous waitress named Kristen who was very friendly and helpful...she even took off the cost of 2 appetizers that arrived later than our other food. The only downside was finding a place to park.

We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere is wonderful. Yet, again, the service was not that great. We were a party of six, we split the bill three ways, and we were all hideously overcharged (by 30-50 dollars). When we attempted to politely talk to our server about the bill, we were all ignored by her constantly. We eventually gave up and left. I suggest that everyone try another fondu place. Four stars for food, but minus five stars for service.

fun place to meet a friend
I like Bartini during happy hour because you can try a bunch of things and leave only $20 down. I like to go with a good friend and take turns picking drinks and food to share. The best drinks are Peaches and Herbs, The Rose Drop, and The Spicy Mango, all $4 or less during happy hour. I also love the fondue and the tomato basil soup, $7 for both. Service is sometimes really really slow but it seems to depend on the day. It seems like there's just one total beeotch that works there; besides that they're good enough. And usually very attractive, if that's a selling point. I'm going tonight.

Yummy
Happy Hour is half price drinks, havn't had a bad one yet. But sadly I agree with the service, while they have never been rude to me, they are quite slow for how few people are normally in there. But its a nice place if your just looking to kick back and hang out for awhile.

Great happy hour
I've been to Bartini a few times for happy hour and the service has been nothing but great. The two female servers I remember were really cute and sweet and a hostess let us sit in the restaurant part before it opened for happy hour when all the bar tables were taken. The extensive martini menu is amazing, and the happy hour food portions are good for the price- most can definitely afford to try a couple of dishes.

One order of bad attitude with a side of indifference
I have tried Bartini on a number of occasions and each time by the end of the evening I realize, “oh yeah, that’s why I swear never to come here again.” I love the variety of yummy cocktails and the food is pretty decent for what it is. But the crappy service gets me every time. Each time I have been I have had a waitperson who copped an attitude like we were imposing on their social hour and how dare we ask for anything like re-filled water glasses, clean forks, items ordered ages ago or the bill? One time I sat at the only empty table and it had drinks spilled all over it. When I asked if I could get it wiped off, the waitress returned 15 minutes later and threw a soggy bar towel down in front of me and left! Even when the place is deserted, service sucks. At least they are consistent…

Horrible
Refuse to ever go back. Took 25 miniutes to get our check and paid with a $100. Waitress didnt return for half an hour (guess she was expecting a $45 tip). Then when she finally came back she threw the little folder thing on the table. This is just one example of their service. I've tried it 3 times and service is bad everytime. Drinks are weak, HH menu is OK.

brazen bean ass kicker
so i found out about bartini when i was waiting to get in to brazen bean. bartini has amazing martini's, and there's like 40 of them. i love the strawberry hypnotic...so good. i think they kick brazen bean's ass. Their martini's are way better,they're not all perfume tasting. There's actually sitting room, and great happy hour food. Nothing to write home about on service, but not bad by any means- just not aw-inspiring. Get there about 4:30 or 5 and the server is generally all yours.
