- IIreneVIPPortland / Oregon •36 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoHaven't been here for thirty years and brought my cousin who liked the view from the Chart House who I guessed would appreciate the view from the Bank Corp Tower's thirtieth floor. The pork belly appetizer was interesting. Excellent clam chowder. Brought the blackened shrimp home to dilute the spicy noodles with some romaine. Not to worry, we had a lovely lunch, identified the bridges, and enjoyed the outstanding service.More infoPortland City GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Downtown•4.6
- TKTriciaKPortland / Oregon •8 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoFirst time here and we will be back!! Great location in the pearl, on a Monday and was a great time to go. Pulled pork eggs Benny and chicken and waffles were ordered along with two Bloody Mary’s. All were super good. Service was great, it was a tad noisy in the restaurant, but that is to be expected. Definitely will return to try more things on the menu. The food all around us looked so amazing!!More infoScreen Door - Pearl DistrictPrice: Moderate• Breakfast• Pearl District•4.8
- BBeckyPortland / Oregon •1 review5.0Dined on Mar 5, 2025rank and Shay were absolutely incredible! We stopped in for dinner before a show at the Keller, and the entire experience blew us away. The staff was outstanding — so warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Their recommendations were spot-on, and the food was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was prepared to perfection, and our whole group left happy and excited for the musical. This place is truly a hidden gem, and we can’t wait to come back!More infoProof•ReaderPrice: Expensive• American• Downtown•4.2
