    It was a magical Christmas Eve dinner. My mom and I were so happy to spend time in the beautiful atmosphere. Our server, Chase was friendly and helpful and we were impressed by Madison, the GM.

    We've been before. Our server was rude and bland. Had to ask several times for a refill on water and sodas. It was our first time bringing our adult children here. Food was well prepared, and they enjoyed it. But we left with a mid feeling due to service.

    The Chilean Seabass was excellent, along with the beet salad and the wonderful flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Our waiter was most helpful in making suggestions for my dietary issues. Sitting next to the window, even on a rainy day was beautiful. I highly recommend Portland City Grill for their outstanding service, excellent food, and of course, the view!

    Service was just o.k. Felt like we were forgotten for extended periods of time. Brought two bottles of wine with us. Corkage on the first was $30. On the second we were charged $45. Also some menu changes that were disappointing. We've been dining here on Dec 23rd for many years. Next year we'll probably try something else.

    Good food and service -- but it was cold with a heat problem in the restaurant, which seemed to make service go really quickly.
