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.

This was our second visit to Salty’s and once again, we were blown away by the service. The food is incredible, but the service is really what sets them apart. The Sunday brunch is highly recommended, offering everything from fresh seafood, to a crepe station, traditional breakfast foods, prime rib and a chocolate fountain with all kinds of things to dip. We were offered everything we could possibly need for condiments, etc. before we even knew we needed them. At the end, we were brought warm towels to clean our hands. I could rave about this place for an hour and still not hit all the points I want to. Salty’s is a fantastic restaurant with an impeccable customer experience!

We hadn't been to the Chart House in Portland for 12 years or more. What a lovely surprise to find it even better than we remembered. The food and service were excellent and the restaurant was in beautiful shape. the sweeping views have always been a draw and last night they were spectacular. What a wonderful experience to find the restaurant even better than we remembered. We live here in Portland and will be back soon!
