The garden was beautiful! It was a little smaller than I expected, but it had nicely paved paths, nice spring blooms and a peaceful vibe. The queue for the Japanese cafe inside is super long, so make sure to reserve your spot first thing when you get in. Would be even more beautiful if the cherry blossoms weren't at the end of their bloom.

At first I thought the price for entry was a bit on the pricey side, but I think it was well worth it. The garden was very peaceful and relaxing. Went in the morning when it was still cool and crisp out. The sounds of the flowing streams and the few small waterfalls while staring at the zen garden make all the difference. 10/10

The Portland Japanese Gardens extraordinarily beautiful. I happened to go when it was a perfect day and I enjoyed every aspect of it. I read some complaints about the hike up, but to that help to segment the garden to its own world. The gift shops were really awesome. There were a pretty large variety of items to purchase. On top of that there was a showcase of art right next to it. The garden itself has multiple sections to walk through. Each segment had its own unique identity. Truly my only complaint about the garden is one it’s entrance fee and two it’s size. I felt that for how small it was the fee was not up to par. If it was bigger I’d honestly be completely okay with how much I spent. Though I wouldn’t let that deter any new newcomers because it’s still an amazing experience.

Walk into a place of tranquility and rediscovery. This is oasis hidden among the city. A leisurely walk through the garden will put your state of mind of calmness and escaping the day to day. The views are beautiful. The bonsai trees are a very welcoming addition. Go from place to place and see what a bit of meditation can bring around. Take in the air in its purest form. This is definitely a place that I'll come back to visit again. Gift shop, restrooms, and a fairly decent sized restaurant. There are plenty of customer service attendants walking around if you do have questions regarding the area. Go by and see. Look into your own personal life and see what happens.

Beautiful, of course. Can't take in outside food or drinks. There is ramps in places, but a lot of stairs and uneven ground. Lots of benches to stop rest or take it all in. Think fall would be the best time to come and enjoy the mapels showing off and a nice chill in the air

Very beautiful Japanese garden. A wonderful and educational place for family pastime and enjoy Japanese culture. We walked for 2 hours and enjoyed it very much. We managed to see the feeding of koi carp, it was very interesting for the children. Beautiful and very picturesque place, solitude and peace. Wonderful gift shop. There is a restaurant nearby in case you get hungry after a 2 hour walk through this incredible place. The price justifies expectations. Thank you very much, we will definitely be back.

This place is beautiful! Very relaxing and amazing place to take pictures. My girls really enjoyed the fish and site seeing. They have a Cafe restaurant, a gift shop, a learning center and bathrooms. The walk is not crazy long but it took is about 1 1/2 hours to go through it all. Most of it is up hill , with some leveled areas. If you have never been it's definitely a place to try out. Parking was tight lots of people on a Sunday. You have to pay for parking and then line up to pay the entrance fee. Children 5 and younger are free.

What a great start to our weekend Portland trip. The grounds are beautiful and so well maintained. It took us about 1.5 hours to wander the grounds. The only feedback I would give is that when I researched the garden before going it did not mention that there is a bit of a hike to even get to the garden. I navigated it fine but I could see this being an obstacle for others.

This is definitely one of my favorite places in Portland and one of my favorite garden spaces in the country. What a gem of a space. Definitely sign up for a tour as it is time well spent getting the background and history of the space and learning about all of the thoughtfulness and intentionality that went into this beautiful space. It was great to catch a tea ceremony demonstration and to have tea in the tea house at the end. This is one place in Portland I will plan to visit on every trip.

It is best to arrive early to avoid the crowds and truly soak in the serenity. This was my first time, and even at 11am on a summer Wednesday, there were lots of people on the paths. There's a lot to enjoy from the bonsai, trees, bushes, bamboo, coi fish, stone pathways, streams, and gift shops. It was inspiring to consider some of these designs for my own garden.

This is a wonderful place to stroll through. The ticket price is justifiable considering this is a private funded garden. We spent 2 hours walking through. Fun art installments and gift shop. Not to mention the cultural performers. This is a fun outing and worth a visit. Thank you Portland Japanese Garden!

An awesome place to visit! You get to see so many varieties of roses and colors ! It’s very gorgeous and feels so good. Best of all there is no entry free to visit this place. You just need to get parking or can opt for pay by your parking. Do visit this place in jun end types for full bloom. You can easily spend two hours.. there is also a open area where you could plan a picnic with kids n enjoy leisurely the beautiful garden! You can’t get enough pics of the roses !

Came here to spend a Saturday afternoon while visiting Portland. Very impressive varieties in all shapes, sizes, and colors. You can easily spend 1-2 hours just walking around the many varieties. They allow you to walk along the rows, trusting you won't touch the roses or bees pollinating the flowers. Basically, leave no trace behind. There's different sections from the test garden, gold medal garden, Shakespeare Garden, climbing roses, miniature roses, landscape roses, shrub roses, grandiflora roses, floribunda roses, etc... Even if not a rose or flower expert, you can easily appreciate and learn about the many different varieties of roses. Definitely worth the free cost to walk around the roses.

Definitely not in season for roses but still beautiful! Loved the blossom trees. $2 per hour parking spots you can pay at meter with card or cash.

All the roses are in full bloom now! Now is the best time to see this garden! This Free entrance rose garden is one of the best rose garden I ever seen. So many pretty roses! It surely is garden lover’s dream come true. Try to avoid the huge crowds go on weekdays or late afternoon on the weekends. Parking is a little hard to fine, but I can guarantee you that this place is worth your patience to drive around for a parking spot.

The rose garden is so beautiful and if you come on the perfect day then it just makes it more amazing. My wife and I came here today and the weather was great. The sun wasn't out yet, it was in the mid 60s and the air was fresh. We uber here so we didn't have to look for parking. The roses here are all amazing and you'll have a beautiful background no matter where you take your pictures. They also have a little Gazebo if you want to sit under there and take photos. The gift store here also have some nice products. My wife got 2 of their purses because she like the roses design. There a bathroom near the gift shop and they also give free tour at 1pm. You cannot go wrong by visiting this place because it's also near the Japanese Garden and amphitheater.

Lovely lovely lively! Many variety of roses to see and smell. The roses are in full bloom during this time of the year. They were beautiful and scentuous. We went on a weekend so I think there were more people visiting than on a weekday, but can't say for sure as I never been here during the weekday. Parking can be hard to find so you may need to park farther away, but the walk is not bad. There's a free tour, but they're only for a specific time of day. You can also do a self-guided tour. There are restrooms and even a souvenir shop.

If you appreciate roses and beautiful gardens with pleasant pathways, and stonework in general, you’ll love the International Rose Test Garden at Washington Park. This lush, tranquil and large garden setting is a perfect place to get your mind off the mundane day to day whilst taking a stroll or reading a book. I would recommend the summer months til October for the optimal experience as the roses are obviously not blooming in winter through early Spring (not sure why some reviewers were so surprised at this). Parking right now in October is best especially if you’re going on a week day, if you want to have a good experience here and avoid crowds definitely go on like a Monday. Finally I’d recommend taking your time to fully enjoy the blooms, beautiful greenery and lovely setting, it’s a garden so strolling is best not a place to grab a few choice shots and then be off…

My family had a nice time visiting the rose garden and we will have to revisit again to be able to explore it in it’s entirety. You could easily spend a couple of hours here. They have different sections the roses are organized in. There is the Shakespeare Garden and an amphitheater. It was free to look around, we only had to pay for parking which was around a few dollars. Everything was very well kept, nice and neat.

06/11/23: what a gorgeous And fabulous rose garden!! It has different varieties of roses and they smell SO GOOD! aha, I would say it is an enormous garden connecting to different spaces (picnic areas, Japanese garden, Washington Park) and there is a fine for removing roses!! There is no ticket and tons of paid parking lots in front of the garden. It does worth a visit and I would love to make several more visits to this beautiful garden

We loved the International Rose Test Garden! It is so beautiful and they smell amazing!! Parking was only $3.50 for two hours, and it was right by the gardens. They have tennis courts, a botanical garden, and an ametheater. People were having picnics, doing yoga, and playing soccer throughout the gardens. It is a relaxing and awesome place to go see.

07/08/23: the ticket is $24 per non-membership adult, and I thought it was a little bit expensive for a zoo ticket. However, the zoo experience did not disappoint me, and I enjoyed every minute of there There are tons of animal shows which are at 11:15 am and 1 pm. We visited on Saturday morning, and it got crowded quickly with parents and children. The Oregon Zoo is completely beating the Seattle Zoo in many factors: animal diversity, sceneries, and food trucks. I would love to be back soon

fun zoo the pathway is a little confusing sometimes and did cause us to backtrack to see the penguins. By far the coolest seal enclosure I've seen. the elephants seem well taken care of with lots of space compared to other zoo's. we went on a very hot day so some of the animals were away which I cant blame them one bit. overall good zoo experience. we have a 2 year old that almost never got out of her stroller cause she was tired and the zoo is very stroller accessible.

This zoo was nice...I could see all the animals. When u get there....u need to get a parking ticket. Price is determined on how many hours u are gonna stay. Then I noticed that I needed to buy my ticket online so did that by the entrance...very fast...done. I enjoyed the zoo even though it was raining this day.

Wife and I had a great time at the Oregon zoo. It was amazing to see the Polar bears. The zoo keeper calling them so that the public could see. They have a great structure in the zoo. Nice food (must try the elephant ears), great washrooms, lots of places ti site and take some rest. You can see the animals are well cared for. The gift shop is also a great stop, with lots of sustainable gifts. Staff is very polite and helpful.

A bit pricey at $24 per person, but overall a great experience. We visited on a Sunday and even with timed-ticket entry the zoo was crowded. There were multiple animal "shows" like scheduled feedings that were fun to watch. Very well planned walking path through the zoo, so visitors can view an animal enclosure from all sides and multiple angles.

Our family loves visiting this zoo. Besides normal visits, throughout the year, the zoo hosts fun events, like zoo lights, zoo nights, Halloween, etc. Our son loves looking at the variety of animals, especially the ones he has particular interest. The zoo also has a train he loved riding on, which does cost for each family member to ride on. If you plan on visiting more than twice I'd recommend getting an annual pass. Also, keep in mind you'll need to reserve a time slot before arriving. A great place to enjoy any time of the year!

This zoo is a really fun place to take your child. I've also taken dates here in the past and that was also fun. There are so many exhibits to see and interact with. Plenty of statues, and photo opportunities. The only problem I had was how expensive the food and drinks were. If I could give you one piece of advice it would be to bring all of your own food and drinks. You are allowed to bring your own so take advantage of it and do it. The zoo is already expensive unless you are low income and can show you receive food stamps or TANF. The elephant exhibit is amazing and I suggest seeing it.

Amazing experience! So many animals to see. Easy walking with all paths paved. Purchasing tickets online is easy. 3 hours was barely enough time to scratch the surface of what this Zoo has to offer. Early morning is best to avoid crowds. Will be back!

I felt this zoo is underrated and should be more famous. The setting is beautifully done and each animal is given a lot of space to move around unlike the typical zoos. Probably this was the reason, every animal in here was actively moving around rather than lethargically lying in a corner. This makes it a fun experience for adults and kids alike. There were also some unusual exhibits like - Vultures feeding on a whole deer carcass which you can view at your own discretion, a beaver who has an underwater home inside a tunnel, weaver birds busy weaving pretty nests, playful otters, a mountain goat and much more. It's divided into ecosystems like African savanna, Polar passage, Primate forest, Great Northwest etc. There are other interactive experiences at different times and also a zoo train for five bucks. We went two hours before closing and had to rush through everything to complete on time. Ample amount of paid parking available.

You can be Around 10am or 11am is perfect and you could see Wild animals shows. And They feed to animals that around noon or 1pm. You can see them how to eat and enjoy the meals. Restrooms are clean mostly. Cafe and restaurant are pretty ok and little bit pricey. Parking lots are big but sometimes overcrowded. Summer time Friday and Saturday are busiest days. Sunday is little bit less people. But still busy. Animals mostly are happy and napping all the time. They seemed to clean up cages a lots. Kids have a great time. Best family time in Portland Oregon.

Wonderful place for an easy and sweet date! We have a membership and popping over for a quick visit is so relaxing. Consider visiting on a hot day. Our last trip was over 90 degrees and the zoo was pretty empty. They set up misting stations and have cool drinks and plenty of shade. We were able to enjoy the trip without overheating!

I can't believe in over a decade living in Portland I've never visited the Pittock Mansion. What a spectacular glimpse of history. Loaded with beautiful architecture and fun facts about the family and home. We really enjoyed our visit. I'm glad it's ticketed so it didn't feel too crowded despite a beautiful, December weekend day. I can't wait to be back and stroll the property (on a less chilly day!).

Beautiful place to visit. It’s fun to read about the history of the mansion. You do have a pay for parking and then tickets to the mansion were $14.50 a person. They also have a gift shop. The view that overlooks Portland was really nice. The rooms are set up and some of the pieces are originals but some are not.

I enjoyed the visit to Pittock Mansion. I was able to avail of the Cultural Passes through our local library and get two free adult tickets and one child ticket. I paid for one more adult ticket and it was an easy process on the website. The house is delightful and the views from there look to be beautiful. We visited on a very foggy/overcast day, so sadly did not have the greatest vista views, but I can see they would be great on a sunny day.

This place is absolutely amazing! If your in Portland or near the West Hills this place is a must on sunny day, great views and just a super cool vibe being here. I've never been and I lived in Portland all my life! 🤟🏼

Fantastic views over the city and excellent photo ops in the beautiful surrounds. A small expense on parking only, about 2 dollars an hour. Could be a great trek or hike down from here to Washington park but we drove to a from. A great first stop when visiting Portland to get your overall bearings. Possibly worth touring the mansion too but we didn't have time. Give yourself 30mins to an hour to explore the outside surrounds.

Great place to visit. Very interesting mansion and had a great view of Portland. You have to pay to park and then another fee to pay to go inside. Probably spend a good hour here. I don't think you need to pay if you just want to look around outside.

My friend took us here right before they were set to close to get a nice view of Portland at sunset. We arrived at the parking area at 8:50pm and the ranger told us that he closes the gate at 9pm. But he still let us go check out the view quickly and also look at the mansion. The mansion looks nice from the outside because we couldn't go inside. But the view from the backyard is priceless and was perfect at sunset. They have a decent amount of parking but I think it can get busy during the afternoon time.

So worth it. Even if you don't go inside ($20 admission fee). My friend says the tour is great. The views are amazing and the trails were great. A little muddy, but hey, it's Portland. Seriously great views, don't miss this.

when you walk into this mansion you feel like you just traveled back in time. It does not disappoint for the price it has loads of rooms for you to explore and has some amazing views. It took me about 2 hours to go through the mansion. The parking is reasonable for 2 dollars and hour.

06/10/23: this awesome mansion is near the Witch’s Castle and it definitely is worth a visit. It has an outstanding horizon view of the city of Portland. I did not buy a ticket to get inside the mansion but I heard so many great things inside. Please consider buying a ticket to have a full experience. The mansion is well-maintained, clean, and spacious. I enjoyed the beautiful view and historical meaning of this mansion. Worth a visit!!

I got here for the Chinese new year and it was decorated decently. I love what they have done with just a small space, worth a ticket to go and see. I enjoyed the waterfall the most, I love them. So peaceful and calming. The tea and gift shops were neat and the the teas were tasty!

I like what they’ve done with such a tight space! Very peaceful and quiet inside. I loved the pond and little bridges & pavilions built over it. The tea shop was good! I tried the mint & Tulsi herbal tea and quite liked it. The red bean mooncake was good too. Nothing to rave about, but good! The gift shop has some interesting little souvenirs. Overall, I wished it was a bigger space - especially for that admission fee of 13 bucks.

This was a true zen experience. It doesn't draw the crowds that the Japanese garden does, which means the lines don't exists either. Purchased tickets ahead of the visit online, parked in a nearby lot and walked to the gardens. It was delightful and surprising that once inside the gardens a lot of the city noise dissipated. It was beautiful and the tea house was such a pleasant stop.

First-time visitors are in for a somewhat quick and short walk through. It's not too big good for a short visit. Easy access to walking. Limited with space for walkers or wheelchair. Just because the pathways are somewhat narrow. Would be definitely good to go first thing in the morning before it gets crowded. One-time visit.

I loved my visit here. I had concerns about going due to the location but I'm glad I went. It's a tiny paradise. They offer a tour and you can wander around at leisure. The teahouse was lovely and smelled amazing like tea and incense. I will probably buy a cup next time. The staff made us some complimentary Tangyuan...tiny dessert of glutinous rice balls filled with sesame paste in a hot sweet sauce that tasted like sweet tea. We did a fun scavenger hunt also as we walked around. I'm grateful for the Chinese community for keeping this garden and old buildings maintained to perfection for the public to enjoy.

This place is small and amazing. I like the atmosphere and decorations. It looks very expensive to maintain. It cost 15 dollars to get inside. It is a nice place to walk around and take photos. Sit down and enjoy some tea. I like it here more than the Japanese garden. Wished it was bigger

My husband took me here for our anniversary dinner - it exceeded our expectations. He read the wonderful reviews online and was surprised we hadn't come across this place before. The place is huge and is beautifully designed inside with a downstairs for special events. It was near-booked when he got the reservation two weeks ago so I'm glad we squeezed in! The food was absolutely delicious and service was very attentive. They were all so kind. My husband ordered a steak dish and they accidentally sent out the mushroom/vegan version. He didn't realize it until he started eating it and decided not to say anything because it was the same menu price and tasted amazing. I think the manager realized their mistake and came to correct it. My husband said don't worry about it and they asked like 3 times if he was sure haha. Then our server came by to personally apologize. Later he came by again to say they were going to remove it from our tab. THEN when they brought out our dessert they brought out their cookie dessert complimentary for our anniversary. This place just takes hospitality seriously and it shows. They take special care of you here and the dishes are pieces of art. Thanks for a memorable evening, we'll be back!

My wife and I went here on a Saturday night for a dinner date while visiting from Seattle. The reservation was easy to get on Tock though many of the slots were not available - understandable given it was a Saturday night and I was booking only 3 days beforehand. We got our table in the patio area as requested after a 3 minute wait. The decor is fabulous and very earthy, with lots of flowers everywhere. The staff was friendly as polite, as expected in Portland. We decided to do an appetiser meal because we are vegetarian and there were tons of veggie options. We ordered the humita, the yuca frita, the coliflor, the hongos and the empanada. Every dish was unique and flavourful, but I liked the coliflor the best. To drink we ordered the chica morada which was quite unique as well. I’d definitely recommend coming here for a quiet dinner where you can focus on great conversations and greater food!

A place I have had fond memories of and will continue to recommend— My first visit was back around 2008 where I had an amazing experience and likewise up until 2015. Hadn’t been back until now, obviously post 2020. This visit while different (tried to get seated as a walk-in and had to make a reservations to return on another night) was still amazing. I’ll say our waiter Rex was absolutely perfect — genuinely warm and kind, a good sense of humor and the right timing without being overbearing or a disappearing act which could have easily occurred because it was quite busy. We ordered some drinks and small plates because we’d eaten a lot throughout the day — the drinks were better than I remembered (back in the day they were a bit too boozy for me, maybe my palate has changed but I swear they taste better) the food came out quickly as well. The beef hearts were so amazing (much like I remembered) that we had to order more! The octopus while slightly different but was just as good, cooked to perfection. Dessert was also a hit - the chocolate andino, really well balanced and not too sweet. All in all I’d rate this the same now as I would have back then although I think it’s silly to hold onto an 18 year memory and not expect the menu to change at all. I hope they continue to do well and evolve as they have.

Great Peruvian influenced food. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and are able to provide assistance with choosing food to suit your taste.. drinks are very good.. can get busy at times so always good to book in advance. Both inside and outside dining options are available.

Reservations encouraged as the place gets really full during dinner time. 5 star or more for the service and attentiveness of the staff - thank you !! Place feels very cozy and you get to enjoy their food at your own pace. Food to some degree is well prepared and flavors elevates to your taste buds so you can get a unique taste on each dish - no commonality. Save room for their dessert 🍮, you would not want to miss it. Serving size is reasonable for one person or to share. Street paid parking is available. Cost though is prohibitive in order to enjoy their food at least twice a year.

It is a nice big Peruvian restaurant in Pearl. It is so much larger inside. This was the first time to have Peruvian dishes for me. The ambiance and decor is very nice. Service was okay. Maybe I’m not big on Peruvian food. Drinks are good, portion of food is too big.

I'm gonna be honest, I was a little disappointed. My partner ate here once many years ago and was very excited to return. We ordered quite a few dishes to share amongst ourselves, and while everything was good, nothing really blew me away. When I pay higher prices for a meal I expect a higher quality. I don't feel like I got that. That said, the atmosphere was pleasant and the staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our time there but I don't think I'll be coming back.

Deliciousness. Everything we had as superior in taste, quality and presentation. Wonderfully, local sourcing, high end serving and organized kitchen staff ensured our meal was delivered promt and hot. I don't really need to go on much because these pictures speak for themselves.

An exceptionally authentic Peruvian restaurant in the heart of Portland. My dad grew up in Lima and always lamented that the US lacked real Peruvian restaurants (a few have sprung up in NYC/NJ). Well, I guess we will also have to fly him out west to enjoy it here! Delicious food, service, and beautiful ambiance! Although they didn’t have chicha morada drink, the chef made a special dessert with chicha morada filling. Such a personal touch and we are grateful to the chef! Highly recommend!

Lovely Peruvian restaurant, nice food and service. The pork belly is yummy, crispy outside and tender inside, highly recommended. The side salad flavor is sour and fresh add a refreshed layer to the main. If you are a not sour fan, you can skip that too, still delicious.

Fresh ingredients & flavors. The staff was very accommodating with my dietary needs & helpful with suggesting dishes to fit what we were in the mood for. There was music in the bar & each dining room was BEAUTIFUL. My cider was delicious & my husband's old fashioned was the best he said he's ever had.

Lovely! My first visit to Mother’s was about ten years ago at their former location. This place is HUGE & beautiful. Terrific service. Enjoyed the crab cake sandwich w/amazing fries. Washed it down with the white sangria. My hubby loved his salmon bowl w/delicious sauce.

This place has plenty of reviews, but here's one more. We had a great server, Kailea! I tried the raspberry waffle and blueberry pancakes, and they are both good without syrup. I also had eggs, bacon, sausage, and potatoes. The bacon is thick cut and cooked well. The crispy edged potatoes were properly seasoned. Next time I'll skip the sausage, but everything was delicious.

Loved this place. Food, beverages and desserts were amazing. The waiter was attentive but not overwhelming and answered all of our questions accurately and respectfully. The decoration of the place it’s great and has a nice brunch vibe. The fact that they’re female owned and have a “mother of the month” with different recipes is simply perfect. I’d go back to Portland just to go back to this place!

Absolutely delicious brunch! We got a scramble (with the toast swapped for a biscuit), half a salmon hash, and half a biscuits and gravy (each came with an egg, which we got poached). The service was quick and attentive, and the wait flew by! I recommend getting two half portions so you can try more of the menu, everything we had was excellent. The biscuits in particular are a standout, do not miss out! Skip the grapefruit juice if you're considering, it was fine but not worth the $5 (I'm optimistic about the orange juice and the cider, though!). We'll definitely be back.

Carter took exceptional care of us! The food (our breakfast) was lovely! Everything tasted so good and well proportioned! A must try, more than once!!!!!! Next time we are grabbing dinner!

It’s a family restaurant on the ground floor of a hotel. Nice and clean. Many choices of food. I heard it’s soup was very good. Since they have large tables, it’s a good place for a gathering. Service was fine. I’d like to try for their breakfast sometime.

Happy and family time kinda atmosphere. Amazing service. Good food. A must have place if you are looking for a delicious brunch on a lazy morning !!!

This restaurant lives up to the hype. The setting is fresh but demure while the staff were all friendly. Our waiter gave fantastic recommendations and was attentive without being too much. Each of us left a tip of 30%+ because the service was unbeatable. I ordered Chilaquiles, one friend ordered the omelet special, and the other got the Migas. Each dish was phenomenal. Also prices were extremely reasonable to the point where I wasn't sure if we were charged accurately.

Breakfast was delicious. Definitely deserves 5 stars for sure. The wait staff was so aware of every little thing and without constantly being at the table asking us or checking on us. They knew when to fill our glasses, they knew when approach. That’s the type of service places need to have. Now for the food. I can’t even begin to describe how amazing it was and how fresh everything is. We had so much we couldn’t even finish it all. Job well done to everyone at Mothers Bistro & Bar!!!

Enjoyed lunch here with some friends. Service is top notch and food was great. I don't think this restaurant can be fully experienced in one visit. We will need to come back.

Food was delicious, atmosphere was fun! Only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because we were sat underneath the air conditioning by the window and it felt like we were in the arctic tundra. So many people asked to not be sat there, we should have done the same!!!!!

It took Several minutes for the waiter to get to our table but once there the pace of the food and service picked up considerably. ordered the Jake's Etouffe and was very happy With the amount of seasoning. Liked them leaving the rice in a clump so that I could put as much as I wanted. Would have enjoyed it more if the shrimp had been fried In a skillet rather than boiled. This gives a completely different texture to the shrimp and more flavor in the a them. The sole was well seasoned but a bit tough. The crab cakes were perfect!

Outstanding food, service and pricing. We were looking for a seafood restaurant and this one came up near the top of my search. We went during a weekday for lunch so it wasn’t busy. They serve a limited menu with excellent choices and several seafood dishes. We tried so old favorites along with some new twists and left there feeling full and happy. Our server Emily was just a delight. She was engaging, efficient and knew a ton about the menu. This was an excellent overall experience.

We had a lovely dining experience! Jake’s famous crawfish is full of history!! We had great servers who are there to show you a real experience. Servers took their time at the table to thoroughly explain the menu and the history behind the restaurant. This place is definitely on the pricier side!! But, your paying for the experience and not just the food. We were able to make a reservation on Yelp which was great for a busy Saturday evening.

The food and service were so good. I can’t remember our servers name but she was so Attentive and fast! All her recommendations were top notch! Even the drinks. The places is so nice it reminds me of an old movie where a speak easy would be. We went right at lunch time so there was no wait. I was so full I couldn’t try dessert but it all looked very delicious. Glad my classmate told me about this place. If you’re visiting Portland it’s a must go! I had the stuffed salmon my mom Had the chicken pasta and the crab dip appetizer was DANGING!

Took my wife here for Mother's Day. This is a very popular location so I would recommend making a reservation. The food was cooked absolutely perfectly. My wife had the salmon and I had the stuffed halibut. The desserts were all superb!! I would def recommend this place for a special someone!!

This is one of my go-to spots whenever I'm in the downtown Portland area. The location is rich in history and has been around since the 1800s. The food here is absolutely delicious!!! Everything on the menu is good, so you can't order the wrong thing. The drinks are good, and the people here are friendly and more than willing to make your visit a pleasant one! If you like history, good atmosphere, good people, good service, delicious food and drink, definitely stop by. You'll definitely want to go back!!!

Food was delicious and service was good. What took it down to four stars is the price. Our Jake's Old Fashioned cocktails were $12.50 and $17 respectively as they added a premium for the bourbon we selected that was not noted in the menu. Our meal came to $143 for the two of us. Ouch!

Crab and artichoke dip was pretty red pepper heavy which wasn’t expected but overall good. Pita was crunchy, garlicky and salty which paired with the dip nicely. The calamari was tasty however the dipping sauce had an interesting tang to it not your usual aioli to go with calamari. The special we split for our meal was delicious. The cheese sauce the crab and shrimp was mixed in and stuffed into the perfectly prepared salmon. The green beans were cooked to perfection and the mashed potatoes didn’t disappoint. Definitely would recommend.

Lovely atmosphere and the food is top notch. Maybe it's me, but their crawfish felt a little "soapy" even though that's their speciality. Loved the oysters, even though one was not shuckled perfectly. Seafood pasta was very comforting and perfect for any day. Enjoyed a pinot gris which, even though recommended as a drier options, was not as dry.. Overall pleasent, even though service can be improved a tad..

A home run in all ways. Good service and quality food in a fun old-timey place. I had the trout and my wife had a salmon mushroom dish. We added a wedge salad and French onion soup. All quality choices. Only problem is parking, which is endemic to the area.

My family hadn't been to the Deschutes Brewery location in the Pearl District since pre-pandemic, and we were expecting the usual line and long wait when we went for lunch, but it was nearly empty. This was on a weekday, so I bet the weekends are still busy, but it was nice not to have to wait during this visit. The beers are still solid and the lunch is good -- not blow your mind amazing or full of culinary creativity, just good, solid brewery restaurant grub. The service was good, although a little slow toward the end, considering the place was not very busy. Still a great spot for groups and families!

I loved this place. The ambiance is amazing. The staff was also super cool and accommodating and chill. What I loved most was the Guava Sour Beer, it might be my new favorite thing 😊 The food was also great, the hummus platter with all veggies instead of pita was the best I've ever had. I highly recommend them

Great ambiance for a pub restaurant. Service was fast and the menu was not complicated. Make sure you ask about the daily soup options; go for the salmon chowder if they have it. It is really great! It would be good to have some pasta and more vegetarian options other than salads. There should be at least one more steak option that does not cost over $40. Beers were pretty good. I was surprised to see a homegrown whisky option. Good place to take your family.

Every year, my partner always eats here to commemorate her father's death. This year I was invited to join her and it was a very pleasant experience. I have never been here before and I really enjoyed eating the elk burger with garlic fries and having their pretzel with cheese and mustard. Honestly both were pretty delicious and I believe their pretzel was the best pretzel I have ever had in my life. Their drinks are also really good. I left very full and very satisfied. I will definitely come back here again.

We found this place on the list of Top 100 burgers in America; it's #29 on the list. Not sure which burger was in the list, but my partner was not impressed with his Pub burger. They also have gluten free and vegan options available. The patties were thin. I had to have lettuce wrap, because their gluten free bun has egg. I hate lettuce wrap because it becomes very messy when eating. I have allergies to gluten, egg and dairy, so it was my only option. The server was good to check for me though. Overall, we felt it was a very average place.

Excellent big tap list with exclusive beers only on tap and a nice assortment of unique and reserve series of beers to go in cans and bottles , along with the regular series of beers. If you are visiting and never had Deschutes beer, I would strongly recommend the classic tasting tray, which includes Mirror pond and black Butte porter, classic beers from the mid 80s and still excellent. If you have had Deschutes beers before I would recommend the brewers choice tasting tray which includes a number of draft only beers. Very popular place and can be very busy, but service is great and friendly. Food is above average for a brew pub and is tasty with nice size portions. Parking at the downtown location can be a pain but it is worth it.

Not only does Deschutes have great beer, but they have really good food. It's almost as if it's a restaurant with a brewery and not the other way around. Try all the beers and definitely order the mushroom pasta dish. There is a massive dining room and a large bar area. The wait staff is quick, helpful, and friendly. We had a great day experience and I hope you come here and do too!

Never a bad meal here, and of course the beer is great as well. Today I had the Pork and Grits with black eyed pea salad. It was excellent, too bad the portion was a bit small for the price. The IPA’s were delicious and the atmosphere is welcoming. Always worth a visit while in the Pearl.

Great venue for a meal and a drink with a group. Was a bonus that it is open nice and late as not much in the area seemed to. The food was great and a good drink selection. When we went for dinner, they were out of some of the more popular food options. Really enjoyed the special Pride sour beer.

If you’re looking for a really cozy cool atmosphere rooftop this is it. Great panoramic views of downtown Portland. Great restaurant, had the appetizers mussels delicious the sushi was great. All the way around service was wonderful. live piano and huge bar area as well as large dinning seating area. Parking is covered access is easy. Would I go here again, absolutely

My wife took me here when I visited her on a Portland business trip. The view from the 30th floor is incredible. We sat in the bar and our waiter was very attentive and friendly. The short ribs were tender and the mashed potatoes divine. Tuna dish was a bit spicy but also good. A great spot for a special night out.

I went on my birthday to relax and take in the views. The food and service is excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant. There's a strong Asian food bent. The Pork Belly and Steamed Buns really blew me away. I don't tend to care for pork belly, but this changed my mind. The private rooms are gorgeous.

Went with some friends for social hour. Great drink and food specials. The food was okay but not amazing. The views, however, were breathtaking. I hear dinner is good there. Will have to try it!

Incredible views of the city and a great selection of food and drinks for Happy Hour with reasonable prices. We loved our cocktails and finger food and the service staff was great too. Overall, a very enjoyable and pleasant experience. Parking in the building is expensive but they validate for 2 hours. We paid $8 after validation since we stayed for 3 hours. The place tends to get busy around 5 and Fridays tend to be very busy. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend to anyone visiting Portland. You won't regret the experience. They also have a dining room and reservations are highly encouraged for that. The bar room seating is first come first serve from my experience. The entrance is via the main lobby and you can take the elevator to the 30th floor (which is marked with Portland City Grill on the elevator keypad). Keep in mind that the elevators are locked until their opening time which is 4pm.

Went to Portland City Grill with colleagues for a work trip. Firstly, the ambiance and atmosphere was impeccable. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. I ordered the seafood trio. It was delicious. Would definitely go back again!

This is a must visit destination if you visit Portland, OR. It's a high-end restaurant on the 30th floor of a high-rise U.S. Bancorp building. The views are excellent. We went there around 5 pm. They had a few happy hour drinks and food items. Well worth the price. The food was excellent. I had the Chicken Marsala. It was great and filling. My daughter had the New England clam chowder and the crab and avocado roll. Nice place to go to impress.

The view is amazing!!! The service was also amazing, the food is what i call fancy American, it’s very good, you get what you pay for here! We had a group of 10 people and everyone had a pleasant time! I definitely choose this as an event or special occasion type of place, or if you want to create moments, not a place to hang out or just go, unless you go to the bar and just for drinks this those are expensive as well! While there I had the chicken and my hubby had the steak and both were on point!

Wonderful view from anywhere. We waited at the piano bar during their happy hour. Highly recommend. Then had a different view. Food was amazing. I had a ribeye that was so tender I used a butter knife to cut it.

The food and view were amazing. Get a seat by the window and you won't be disappointed. Had the shrimp lobster carbonara 😋. Service got better as the night went on. Ending on a high note was especially nice since it was a sister birthday celebration.
