- KKurtPortland / Oregon •31 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoDinner was great and our server Lily was awesome. Way too loud. Large group tables made it hard to have a conversation. They recognized the noise level and moved us without us asking, which was nice.More infoMorton's The Steakhouse - PortlandPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.6

- SSarahPortland / Oregon •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoWe came here to celebrate my dad’s birthday. We had a good table with a decent view of the city. Our first waitress wasn’t so kind but that didn’t bother us. We noticed a window seat open up and it had been about 30 mins so I asked the host if we could move and she said “ YES!”. After that the evening got even better. Our waitress was fun and so kind! The view was absolutely amazing and the Christmas parade ships were out! We had great food, great service and wonderful experience!More infoPortland City GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Downtown•4.5

Discover South Waterfront
The South Waterfront area is part of a Portland urban redevelopment project of several high-rises in a combination health, well-being, fitness center and medical research complex. An urban park has been created along the banks of the Willamette River, and a tram and trollies offer transportation to residents and employees. The high-rise condominiums in this neighborhood also rent ground-floor spaces to several restaurants. Many of these dining establishments offer ethnic cuisine. A Vietnamese bistro, a Mexican joint, and a restaurant offering continental European cuisine are just some of the many places you can choose to visit. The high-rises also boast a full-service cafe, several coffee shops, numerous American-style restaurants, an Italian eatery, a sub shop, and a bakery.
