Excellent food. Staff were welcoming and warm. Waitress was very helpful in marking the menu to show what foods were gluten free. Cider was super tasty. Lamb chops were delectable, highly recommend. 10/10 would visit again.

Departure in Portland offers a truly unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you step into its sleek and modern space, you're greeted with breathtaking views of the city and an atmosphere that perfectly balances sophistication with warmth. The menu is a masterpiece, blending bold flavors and creative presentation. Every dish we tried was an explosion of taste, particularly the beef skewers and amazing cocktails, which stood out as a highlight. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations and ensuring our experience was seamless from start to finish. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just indulging in a night out, Departure is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their incredible menu!

A perfect dinner (seated at counter) at Nostrana. Went on a Thursday - gnocchi night. I usually don’t choose gnocchi, but am now a convert - so pillowy and tender, and the clam sauce I chose was buttery, seasoned greatness. Our server was friendly, warm, and efficient and suggested an alternative wine by the glass that was from next door that was so good we bought a bottle to take home. Consistently amazing, and impressed my husband for date night.

Laurelhurst Market is our #1 place in Portland because it offers consistent, amazing food, superb service, and a wonderful outdoor space. We celebrated Christmas Eve and were treated to 5-star service, the most melt-in-your-mouth filet Mignon, tasty wine and cocktails, and a special end-of-meal egg nog made in-house. We will return soon.

A truly exceptional dining experience at Screen Door Eastside! Every dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients with innovative flavor combinations. The service was impeccable, with our waiter providing knowledgeable recommendations and attentive care throughout the evening. The ambiance was elegant yet comfortable, creating the perfect setting for a special occasion. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu. I do not recommend the downtown location because the Eastside location is simply the best. Literally. Amazing!
