Jill provided the best service we received during our 3 days stay in Portland. She made sure everything was up to her high standards. The dining experience was really great due to her presence.
And the food was not bad at all!

We had several meals here, as we were staying at the hotel. All the food was well flavored and nicely presented, but some of the portions were so small for the prices charged. The ricotta donuts with lemon curd are so delicious, and you can get them anytime they are open.
The service was excellent and the different staff members were so much fun to chat with! We were so fortunate that it wasn’t too busy when we were there. We were amazed to learn about the creative talents of several servers. It would be so awesome if the hotel hosted a craft showcase for these creative souls to share their wares!

The dinner here is very delicious – some of the best seafood I’ve had. Everything was so fresh, not greasy, and well balanced. The portions are slightly on the smaller side but what you get is of quality. I would definitely come back for the lobster roll. The service wasn’t incredible, which wouldn’t have bothered me if there wasn’t a 20% gratuity being added since we were a group of 6, but I’m hoping it was just an off day. The restaurant itself is very cute and cozy, especially with the holiday pop up. I look forward to coming back.

We walked in here during a Jazz Festival and had a great seat where we could hear the bands playing but not too loud. The Sing Your Life is a great mix of smokey and sweet. For the Ouroborus, whatever cocchi is in it, I’m all in! The Sing the Dead was definitely elevated by the Allspice. In the Double Happiness, the orange yuzu had a nice bite and I had a happy, happy ending. (My tipsy wife is adding her suggestions to this review.) They excel at at the aromatics with their cocktails. The oysters get an A+ for flavor and the sauce was a great enhancement.

Usually I’m not too impressed with hotel restaurants, but this is an exception. While the prices are a bit high, the food was high-quality to match, the service was great, and we had an excellent view of the Willamette from our table. The entire rest of my table got the fish and chips, while I got the Cesar salad with chicken. Fish and chips was probably the move, everyone really enjoyed it. My Cesar was very good, and I liked the addition of the sliced anchovies in the salad, but it was just a little small for the price. There’s a good drink selection, and my friend said their Old Fashioned was one of the best he’s had. A good dinner for our first night in Portland for sure.

Smart option if you’re going to a show at the Keller – just three blocks away.Great views of the river, low key atmosphere and very good service. Outdoor seating, or there are spots at the bar too, in addition to tables and booths. Only had a calamari app and a nicoise salad but it was fantastic.- lots of fish.
Nice cocktail program too. On the other hand, the prices are on the high side. You’re paying for the location.

The ridiculous prices would be ok if the food justified it. The $5 oysters are literally the size of a quarter. The $32 lobster roll is served in a normal hotdog bun. The king salmon was udercooked with a tacky mouthfeel, and one meal was delivered while the other was not. It was 15 minutes for the second meal to be delivered. Service is very slow and very amateur. This like red lobster for boomers

8 friends have dined here together for the past 9 years, to watch the Christmas ships, and celebrate the season. The service was good – they did their best. The food embarrassingly awful. Shame on you! Two of us had the linguini and shrimp. The portion looked as if they split up a full order between us. It was a kids portion. The pasta cut up as a parent might for a child. The shrimp also cut up – would have made 1 whole one. It was dry and tasteless. Asked for a lemon slice and cheese to add flavor – tiny slice of lemon and a thimble portion of parm was given. Still hungry we ordered salads. Fish and chips – fish over cooked and dry, 2 small pieces and a plateful of fries. The only person who enjoyed their meal had scallops, cost $36, $18/piece. But cooked perfectly. Salads were good, but over all everything was ridiculously expensive for the food served. Very poor value. The food doesn’t look like these photos. The drinks – ordering vodka with a soda back, cost extra. A bailies coffee drink – coffee and Bailey’s priced separately, as well as the whip cream, . Good company of friends, couldn’t see the ships the decorations covered the windows, Will not be back here next year, or anytime in between. Seriously – stay away, you can enjoy spending money at many other restaurants downtown.

This restaurant, located within the Kimpton Riverside Hotel where we stayed, offered a delightful breakfast experience. The food was fantastic, and the service was impeccable. The ambiance was also fantastic, adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal. The location is great too with great views.
