The Georgian Room was a restaurant on the tenth floor of Portland, Oregon's Meier & Frank Building, in the United States.[1] The Nines occupies space which had housed the restaurant.[2] The Georgian Room hosted "ladies who lunch"[3][4] and has been described as "a popular luncheon spot for well-to-do Portland women".[5]

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."[6]
