My girlfriends and I had such a great time at Portland City Grill. The 30th‑floor views were incredible, and the vibe was warm and classy without feeling stuffy. We tried a bunch of dishes, but the standout for all of us was the Sunset Beets salad—so fresh, beautifully done with truffle goat cheese and beet‑leaf pesto, and honestly one of the best salads I’ve had in a long time. The seafood and sushi were delicious too, and the staff made the whole experience feel easy and fun. We’ll definitely be back!
I normally love coming here to celebrate birthdays. Tonight was my boyfriend’s birthday. We were meeting his mom and sister for a table reservation. His mom was waiting for us at the bar and we decided to join her to grab our drinks. I am 23 and pregnant (if that matters) I sat down at the bar and the bartender was extremely rude telling our party “MINORS CANT SIT AT THE BAR” obnoxiously without even asking for my ID or if I was of age FIRST. She did take my mocktail off the tab, but there wasn’t a genuine apology, just an excuse that it’s been happening a lot where minors try and sit at the bar around the holidays. We sat down at our table and were greeted by our server, Erika. She was great but disappeared after the food was served so we couldn’t communicate to her right away that my boyfriend got the wrong cut of meat. The manager (I think?) was gracious and paid for his meal after we found and talked with another server about 15 minutes into our meals. We boxed it up to take it home because the vibes from tonight were not it. Our glasses and silverware were covered in a crazy amount of water marks which doesn’t seem appealing for an upscale restaurant you’re paying $70+ a person for! I miss the old Portland City Grill.
We came here for Christmas and everyone had a good time. The staff is polite and friendly. Hank served our table today. I was pretty impressed with him He gave me a grasshopper and I thought it was kind of watery and he asked me why I wasn't drinking it and I told him why and he fixed it free of charge. He was very attentive very kind. Everyone likes their cheesecake. Everyone like the clean ballet. And my son enjoyed his chocolate flourless tortellini. We all enjoyed our clam chowder. My husband and I enjoyed our lamb. My youngest son flight is lobster quite a bit. My daughter says that she likes the salmon but she wouldn't order it again. My second eldest got the ribs he said he didn't care for them much. But we did have a great time and we got excellent service. We also had a wonderful view of the river.
My husband and I came here for our 23rd Anniversary. We arrived at 4:15 and proceeded to take the elevator in a downtown office building to the 30th floor. Stepping out into the restaurant was quite a view! We were promptly seated at a table by the window, as requested and ordered our drinks. The service was quick to respond so we ordered our appetizers. We had the beef carpaccio and the Thai brussel sprouts. I also ordered the beet salad and my husband the apple Gorgonzola salad. For mains I ordered the jambalaya and he had deer. Honestly, the food was above average as was the service. The brussel sprouts had a really good unique flavor, a bit on the greasy side, both salads were good, the beet had diced red and yellow beets with soft goat cheese on the side. The beef carpaccio neither of us cared for. It had some sort of mayonnaise on it which was not tasty. My jambalaya was quite good with rockfish and very spicy. My husband liked his deer, me, not so much because it tasted gamey. Preparation for deer is everything and I had it in Austria where it’s the absolute best! We were both full so we didn’t order dessert, but they brought us a complimentary piece of red velvet cake and it tasted like a sweet brick. Not good at all. Tasted like bad store bought cake. Overall I’d give this restaurant a thumbs up but not for someone who’s very discriminating. The view is the best attribute to this restaurant.
This restaurant was a truly exciting experience. It was very "out of the ordinary" and we had a wonderful time. The service was exceptional; we couldn't have asked for a better server. The ambience was electric; everyone was excited to be there and having such a good time. The menu had a wide variety of items with prices for every budget so that anyone can enjoy eating there. I will say that the beet salad was exquisite. However, the lobster bisque tasted as if the roux was scorched and the clam chowder was very bland. The crab cakes with chorizo was not only an uncomplimentary combination but the chorizo was burned. I will reiterate that we had a very positive and memorable experience, and I would do it all over again, but the food just wasn't up to the standards I expect for a restaurant of this caliber. I would definitely give it another shot if I didn't live 2500 miles away. The kitchen staff may have just been having a bad day.
