Restaurants near Oregon Culinary Institute

The food is outstanding! However, It took at least a half hour after being seated before we were greeted at our table. It was VERY loud where we were sitting as there were two parties in the same small room that were making way too much noise. It was impossible to carry on a business conversation. That being said, the food made up for the slow service and loud tables.

Our service was amazing and food is always the best

One of the recommended restaurants to try when you’re in Portland. I booked it for me and my friends because they were craving for seafood. The interior had a posh but cozy feeling, the staff were amazing and even went above and beyond when we asked her for club recommendations and she gave us a list! The good was phenomenal! We ordered dungeness crab and artichoke dip and wished we had more pita chips because that was a good way to start the meal. For the mains we got the Jake’s Famous Étouffée as I’ve read a lot of rave reviews about it and all I can say is that it deserves all the hype because it was sooo good! We also got the Seafood Fettuccine and it was equally amazing! We enjoyed all the food we got and actually finished everything! Would highly recommend going here.

Portland City Grill is always a fun experience. From the 30th floor of Portland's "Big Pink" the views can be spectacular, and usually are. Over my twenty years as a resident of the Portland area I have been to Portland City many times. Actually my first date, after moving to Portland, was in the bar at Portland City Grill. I have enjoyed the restaurant with many family and friends, and they are always at the ambiance, service, food, and of course the view. I took a friend there for Thanksgiving Dinner in 2024, the restaurant had a special Thanksgiving Dinner meal, with all the fixings included. We had a wonderful view of Mount Hood. The staff provided excellent service, even with the restaurant being very busy, we still felt well cared for, and the meal was terrific.

Nostrana remains one of our favorite all time restaurants in Portland. Like an extension of home - we come back again and again because they simply make delicious food. Classics that remain just that: Classic along with little spins or specials that we can't help but try out. The late night HH is a bonus!!
