King Tide Fish & Shell, led by Executive Chef Alexander Diestra, is a riverfront seafood restaurant and bar inspired by the laid-back fishing lodges of family vacations gone by. With sparkling waterfront views of the Willamette, a welcoming energy and a menu that ranges from no-fuss to fancy, here at King Tide we serve fresh, inventive seafood dishes with local ingredients that are uniquely Portland.There aren't many places that command the vantage point we enjoy here at King Tide, so we like to make sure it lives up to Portland. We do that with a blend of the traditional and the non, the comfortable and the slightly twisted, the satisfying food and the swinging drink.As we like to say, King Tide is where food & drink & people always complement each other, and everything goes with the view.

What a wonderful experience! The service is beyond compare and the food is thoughtfully prepared both in presentation and taste; each course, along with each wine pour, is accompanied by a detailed overview by the server. Our party of 4 enjoyed The Chef's Dinner (a 6 course prix fixe) which we all loved, with two of us indulging in the wine pairing, which was equally as delightful. Highly recommend Lilia Comedor, a hyper local farm-to-table Portland gem! Be prepared to find parking as there is not a designated area for restaurant patrons.

My friend nor I had had a Cosmo in many years and it was on the menu so we decided to try it and it was one of the best ones I’ve ever had. Fabulous bartender. Really great waiter and service. And the food was delectable. I had the salmon my friend had the scallops. Both amazing I’ve been here many many times over many many years. Better than ever.
