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.

    I have been to King Tide several time, I had some uneven dinners, but it was particularly good Saturday. Two of us had the King salmon and one of us had the scallops and we were all impressed. Salmon and scallops are easily overcooked and all were perfect. The wine by glass is good, and our servers was excellent and got us out in plenty of time to make our show at the Keller auditorium. The space in the Riverplace Hotel with views of the Willamette is lovely, and parking is convenient.

    Overall, it was a nice breakfast with friendly staff. However, the omelet came with nothing else: omelet on a plate, no toast, no potatoes, nothing. That isn't very reassuring for $26. The eggs benedict were cold to the touch. The coffee was good, and again, the staff was excellent.

    L’Orange was wonderful! It’s everything that the reviews say – – the food was sublime, the service was warm, courteous, and very knowledgeable about the entrées, and the ambience was delightful – – warm and cozy!  We were just passing through Portland, staying in the Airbnb across the street from the restaurant, and this was a find. We will definitely visit again! 💝
