- RRandy1130vipSouth Carolina •11 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoWe felt it was a little pricey for the amount of food versus the cost. The stew and lobster salad roll were good but were minimal in the amount you received. The side salad was drowned in dressing and was quite boring.More infoKing Tide Fish & Shell$$$$• Contemporary American• Downtown•3.8

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.
