“We don't eat out very often, but decided to celebrate our anniversary here. We order from a 3 course preset menu to keep costs down. Of course the view is amazing! The food was also excellent. We both had small creme burlees and they were outstanding! The service may have been affected by the fact that our waiter was in training. It felt like it was his first day on the job AND he'd never waited tables before. The restaurant validated our parking ticket, but we were still charged $8 for parking when we left. Overall, we are glad we splurged. We will come back because it was just a nice overall evening.”
“I'm often leery of "institutions" because they rarely live up to the hype. But PCG had the gorgeous views AND backed it up with a good restaurant. We spent the evening in the lounge on the river-view side and really enjoyed it. But the restaurant seems to have nearly 360-degree views. It's a fairly traditional steak & seafood menu, but everything has just a slight twist to make it really interesting and unique.”
“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.”
“Amazing food, waiter was perfect. The floor in the bathroom was sticky. For a restaurant that doesnt supply toilet seat cover I felt like they should check the bathrooms a little more regularly as the toilet was sticky. The bathrooms are a beautiful design so to see graffiti on the walls was a sad site. What won the day was the food came out amazing, it was well thought out by both flavor and appearance. The last thing was the waiter was perfect she kept up really well with our needs and she was funny and very approachable. Thank you Portland City Grill!”
“Not worth it. We came for Mother's Day. They only offered the $80/person course meal. All food was mediocre. The steak was dry and unflavorful. The pasta was not any better than what I can make at home with premade sauce. The halibut wasn't good. The sea bass was actually decent. Dessert was also below average. We were charged for parking even after parking validation because the food service was slow. My mom's food came out wrong so they had to redo the food. The dessert took forever. We paid $600 for 6 people and $24 for parking. I called the assistant for the parking issue but he just hung up. Overall, very disappointing food and service experience. Not worth it.”
