In 2016, Grant Butler included the Georgian Room in The Oregonian{{'s}} list of "97 long-gone Portland restaurants we wish were still around", writing, "Since the 1930s, this was a spot where ladies lunched on iceberg lettuce salads and chicken a la king. The food was hardly remarkable, but there was a sense that you were dining in a place with history. And the atmosphere – sea foam-green walls, majestic curtains, crystal chandeliers – was like an elegant grandma."{{Cite web|last=Butler|first=Grant|date=2017-01-01|title=Tasty memories: 97 long-gone Portland restaurants we wish were still around|url=https://www.oregonlive.com/dining/2016/12/tasty_memories_97_long-gone_po.html|url-status=live|access-date=2021-09-05|website=The Oregonian|language=en|archive-date=2020-12-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201228051534/https://www.oregonlive.com/dining/2016/12/tasty_memories_97_long-gone_po.html}}
