BarFly's Review of Stanford's
Corporate atmosphere that isn't terrible if you sit in the bar. And now they have a location at the airport, which makes life less terrible if your flight is delayed. $2-4 apps & $2.00 well drinks 3-6 pm & 9 pm-close

Thirst Wine Bar & Bistro
We go to happy hour in Hillsboro a lot. For the most part the service has been really good in the bar. On Friday night it gets PACKED and sometimes you have to be a little aggressive for a table or people will cut in front of you. Aim to be around 4:30pm or earlier on Fridays if you don't want to deal with that. The happy hour food is really good and very good prices. The drinks are a little pricey but they are good and the atmosphere is fun. This is a good place for Happy Hour, particularly in Hillsboro.
My wife and I frequent the Happy Hour at Stanford's in Hillsboro at least once a month. The food prices are great, the food is OK, and the service is generally bad. With that said, its fairly casual, almost always busy, but without having to wait to find a table or bar stool, and very consistent. It's good enough that we keep going back.
Oh, one more thing. A couple of weeks ago we left cash (with a good tip) on the table before the check came (did I mention the bad service). Anyway, we were almost outside and our waitress yelled "Hey! Are you gonna' pay?" In hind sight it's amusing, but at the time I was irritated. She actually demanded we come back to the table.
Do that many people really eat and dash from a Stanford's bar? I thought only teenagers did that.
Oh well.

I have given Stanford's Happy Hour at least 5-6 chances and am always disappointed. They just don't have good food. Too much grease - not enough taste. Definitely for those who like a corporate flavor.
Stanfords is also located in Lake Oswego on Kruse Way and at Jansen Beach. The food and happy hour are great but the service seems to be going down hill.
