   Wedding Anniversary Celebration! We arrived and waited in the lounge for a window table and are so glad we did. Wonderful view! We can recommend the Lobster Bisque and the Lamp Chops. Our server, Daniel, was marvelous and was supported by Laurel, who was a gem. Bethany in the lounge was very good and really took care of us.

   Great wait staff. Very busy Friday before Christmas. We would have . enjoyed this leisurely 2 hr dinner if we had more time. There were a few long gaps between drinks & courses that were didn’t anticipate. Staff accommodated us being able to box up our meals so we could leave in time for our show.

   Our hostess and server provided a wonderful dining experience. We were celebrating a birthday and they made my mother feel taken care of a special. It was a wonderful time.

   Atmosphere is always wonderful and food was delicious. They were short of staff (one server at 1 pm) and took 45 minutes to even get a glass of water. Server was delightful- just spread too thin.

   We were seated promptly and did receive the first drink order in good time. We ordered the octopus and pork belly appetizer, and the octopus was overdone and even burned. We probably should have sent it back, but we were hungry. It took a while for the waiter to take our order which we then waited for for another thirty minutes. We meantime ordered wine and did not receive it until after we had halfway finished our entrees, and had had to remind him again two more times. Two of the entrees we're fairly cold. One was completely cold and had to be sent back. We had to get his attention to finally get our check. We have always loved Portland City Grill, and as an out of towner, we have gone there many times. Alas, I think it will not be our favorite place to go henceforth.

   We have celebrated numerous special events there and had great food and service today not so much. Service was extremely slow. They were very short on help. I think most people make reservations so they should be able judge how much help they would need any given day. It took 30 minutes for drinks and food was very slow coming out of kitchen. We end up having to pay $8.00 for parking because we were over the limit. It took for ever to pay our bill. One person in our party has reservations for Sunday night and is rethinking.

   Went for a birthday today & service was mediocre. Our server was running all over the place without acknowledging us & left us tweetling with our thumbs most of the evening. Eventually as food came & we are in the middle of eating she puts a pitcher of water to refil out glasses right in my face as I'm about to take a bite. The busser catered to us better than she did.

    We decided to take our two employees and their wives to Portland city grill for a memorable night. Overall the experience was average compared to other higher end restaurants in Portland. I just feel at that price point everything should be on point. Service wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great, the guys and I ordered three eye of the rib wagyu steaks, two medium and one medium rare and they came two medium rare and one so rare it was not even warm to the touch. I’ve had quite a few high end steaks and these were not exactly what I had in mind when I ordered. We ordered sides with our steaks and we had to wait on the sides. All in all I think they are just to busy for the staffing they have and or they need more help in the kitchen to have all the food ready to serve as it should be. Portland city grill has been on my list of restaurants to try but unfortunately I may have just set the bar too high for them. If your looking for a great atmosphere to enjoy good food and experience the 30 stories up above the city than sure go here. I just think they didn’t live up to the hype. If you’re looking for a unique experience with amazing food and service, go to ringside steakhouse.
