    We are locals and this is our favorite restaurant in McMinnville. As always, the food was excellent and we love the ambience. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. My wife had her favorite - wild salmon - and was not disappointed. I had a bean stew with several kinds of meat plus a duck leg and thigh - very nice. We'll be back!

    The Chilean Seabass was excellent, along with the beet salad and the wonderful flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Our waiter was most helpful in making suggestions for my dietary issues. Sitting next to the window, even on a rainy day was beautiful. I highly recommend Portland City Grill for their outstanding service, excellent food, and of course, the view!

    We went for Sunday Brunch at 11:30. The restaurant was busy but quiet. We were seated immediately. We enjoyed our server who we have had before. The menu had a good variety of appitizers, salads, and main courses. My wife had crab eggs Benedict and I had smoked salmon eggs Benedict. Both were excellent and we would highly recommend them. Dundee Bistro is a favorite restaurant of ours and we highly recommend it.
