Portland City Grill: Elevate Your Dining Experience with Stunning Views and Exceptional Cuisine

My totally perfect ten outta ten girlfriend, which is completely real, and I dined in for our anniversary. We had the eye of the round ribeye, which slapped hard at a medium rare. I had the salmon and risotto, which packed a ton of flavor. And the tuna roll for a sampler. It all was very good and I’d recommend coming and trying these guys out. Drinks were also well done. The staff was kind and took very good care of us.

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.

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.

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.

Came for dinner and ended up staying for the view. The city lights alone are worth showing up for. Absolutely stunning. If you can time it right and watch the skyline shift from daylight to evening glow, do it. It feels cinematic. The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and plated beautifully. Everything tasted clean and well balanced. The drinks were strong enough to make you smile but smooth enough to sip slowly while staring out at the skyline like you’re the main character. Our waiter was incredibly informative and almost overly nice in the best way possible. He knew the menu inside and out and made thoughtful suggestions without hovering. The attentiveness felt intentional and welcoming, which elevated the entire evening. Pro tip: park at the U.S. Bancorp Tower Garage across the street. It’s less than a one minute walk and makes the whole experience seamless.

Portland City Grill did not disappoint! Absolutely everything was perfect with the views of the city with the mountains resting behind. OH and the FOOD and drinks- absolutely the delicious. The best Chilean Sea Bass I’ve ever had. Our waiter, Jay was AMAZING! If you are ever in Portland, this is a MUST!

Portland City Grill is an absolutely fantastic dining experience and one of the best spots in Portland. The views alone are worth the visit—high above the city with stunning panoramic scenery that makes any meal feel special. The atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable, perfect for a date night, celebration, or just a nice evening out. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with a great variety of options to choose from. Everything we tried was flavorful and well prepared. Service was excellent as well—attentive, professional, and friendly without feeling rushed. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy great food and drinks, and take in an unforgettable view.

There for New Years Eve and birthday. The space, lighting and atmosphere was very elegant. The view from our window table was gorgeous, especially with a view of the river. The food was delicious and all the flavors were wonderful. The drinks were great and the wine recommended paired extremely well with dinner. This is a more expensive experience, but you're paying for a special night. If can afford or splurge a bit, then highly recommend.
