   Food was overpriced and mediocre. Service made up for the terrible food. The best part was the chocolate cake.

   We had a very nice dinner on the patio. Great seafood dishes, I loved the risotto and the very unique cocktails. Service was exceptional, attentive and professional without being overly present.

   Oysters were extremely small and overpriced. The fish and chips fish filet was frozen and pre-breaded...not what I would expect for a fine dining experience. I will not be coming back again.

   We ordered the Fish and Chips dinners. The batter on the Fish and Chips was light and not heavy. We were seated fairly quickly (had reservations) inside. Most reservations were for the patio. We were one of the two tables inside the establishment which was very nice. So no competition on conversation. Service was okay. We did not get a refill on our drinks. Our server checked on our table at the beginning of dinner, but after we received our dinners no follow-up until another server came by and offered us dessert. We had dinner prior to a show at the Keller Auditorium. Plan to stay for dinner between an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and 30 minutes. So, if you are in a rush, plan on a different establishment.

   Yesterday my wife and I came to dine at King Tide Fish & Shell. It was by far one of the worst experiences I've ever had. My wife has an allergy to eggs and we expressed this to the server Christian multiple times. When she initially told him of this, he said "I'm not 1000% percent sure what has eggs in it but I'll ask". I asked him to mark up a menu so we could be certain what could be ordered. He returned moments later and said "most of the menu is fine" he then proceeded to explain to my wife (who is acutely aware of where eggs can be commonly found) that "mayo is actually made with eggs". Due to his seeming incompetence, we decided to just order two small plates and have dinner elsewhere. At his direction we ordered the octopus and a salad and specifically asked that he make a note of an egg allergy on the ticket.  To the credit of the kitchen staff, the octopus dish was excellent. When Christian returned to clear the plates I asked him about the olive sauce. He struggled to explain anything about it not only because of his lack of knowledge on the dish, but also because he had a mouth full of food. He returned several minutes later and said "You were right! The sauce is made from olives and mayo.". I cannot begin to explain the amount of outrage I'm feeling at the heinous disregard for the wellbeing of their guests. I've been in the service industry for close to two decades and am truly appalled at the wholesale failings of their staff. There were multiple times that we made completely reasonable requests to ensure her safety and (through gross incompetence or malice) they were ignored.

    Awful and extremely expensive flood; mushrooms appetizer was a joke, a couple of little pieces of mushroom with no seasoning at all, completely blend. My wife had the salmon dish, a very tiny piece of fish (very very small) very dry and zero taste with a couple of baby potatoes (very tiny too) with no seasoning (And they didn’t even have salt and pepper shakers on the table to fix it) for $33 dlls, what a rip off!!!. I had their burger ($22 dlls) it comes with fries, also very blend and just tasteless ( I’ve had much better burgers at Carls Jrs or Wendy’s for a fraction of the price). What a shame, the restaurant is very nice with a great location and friendly stuff, but the food completely sucks (and very expensive for what it is) !!! Id fire that chef immediately.

    Very good food (although a bit overpriced for sure), and excellent service. We were able to sit outside on the covered patio area which was excellent - great views of the river - excellent location! Parking very easy as well - garage nearby and street parking available too.

    We had two risottos, salmon and a steak. The risotto was not cooked all the way so it was crunchy. The salmon was dry and shriveled. The steak was a tiny medallion. We won't be back it was way too expensive for the price. Probably good for drinks though but again too expensive.

    Was expecting a much better experience. The service was incredibly slow, even though there seemed to be a number of people working and it wasn't crowded. It took 5 minutes to get water and then my husband had to get up and go inside and ask for another bottle twice (2 of our party were only drinking water). I was not asked if I wanted a 2nd glass of wine until after our plates were being cleared. The food did not come out all together, and one item didn't come out at all. The medium rares were RARE and had to be sent back, and then took 20 minutes to bring them back (we almost just asked for the check as 2 of us were done eating. It was a birthday (as noted in reservation), and we were asked if we wanted to see dessert menu - we said no. (no reference to special request). The truffle fries were good, as well as were the oysters and fish & chips.

    We were so excited to be there, our appointment was at 5:00 and we couldn’t get in to inside till 5:05, waited outside front of the door, get bored! After we settled on the table, waitress poured the water all over the table, then we made our order! My order came with soy souce which am allergic, I noticed and asked to waitress, she confirmed! (sorry but her nose five feet taller than her, I haven’t seen anyone such an arrogant person for a long time) My husband is a kind man like me, we said that’s ok! Ordered a new food fir me and he tried to eat mine soy sauce branzino but he couldn’t cause it was burned! My new order was salmon and it was so tiny little. C’mon guys we traveled whole Europe, Middle Eastern and USA, we never seen the light portion like yours!!! One more important thing; your crew is louder than any crowd, we couldn’t hear our voices at the same table. They were extremely lauded, laughing…Your professionalism and service quality are not good! Sorry for my feedback but someone should be honest for your investments!

    Most if all food choices on dinner menu is exotic wannabe. Rather than tasty it disappoints. Ambiance is cafeteria inside but nice outdoor seating. Wait staff nice but uninspired. Of all the dinner choices I have tried when staying at the hotel the fish-n-chips is all I would order.

    The host was rude, we waited an hour for service, then an hour for the food. My Eggs Benedict was awful, it was cold, and the potatoes were burned and greasy. We did not get served all at once. This is the worst restaurant I have been to in Portland. The other meals were mediocre at best. The server had a loud mouth, and was rude. She did not deserve a tip, but we gave her one anyway.

    The menue definitely needs to be rewritten. The only thing that sounded possible for the main dish was a hamburger . The clams were an amazing appetizer. Piano too loud to hear a conversation for a $$$$ dinner . And the valet was so mean or upset that I tried to make him happy . This place needs a hug

    Due to the pandemic I am ambivalent about writing this. I believe that others should have the information regarding the restaurant currently. We were meeting friends for Memorial day lunch. We had read about a wonderful new chef at the restaurant. We looked at the menu on this site an another. All looked great. Upon our arrival we were told only breakfast was served at 12:45-1:00? The menu was limited. My husband had what he thought was the worst omelet of his life. How do the ruin a BLT? drenched in butter to grill the sandwich so each bite was overly oily, some weird flavored orange mayo? The woman who served us however was exception and completely attentive. We were the only guests in the restaurant, I guess we didn't get the memo.

    Memorable dinner experience as soon as we walked through the door. Welcoming, friendly, professional staff. Beautiful interior & exterior setting. Exceptional dinner….I would highly recommend the risotto with scrumptious scallops, and the beautifully prepared salmon with capers. Also loved the fun eclectic music.

    We were disappointed dining here. The entree portions were extremely small for the price, and some of each plate was lukewarm. The service person was fine but not very friendly. It was very loud since all of the surfaces in the restaurant were hard, and a loud table of 7 or 8 were nearby. The salmon dish was quite good, but the wagyu coulette had little taste.

    My small branzino fish was such a disappointment and looked so unappetizing. It was dark and soy sauce oozed onto the plate. It was smothered in mint. I don’t think it was fresh and for the $35 price, it should have been stellar.

    We were the first party in the place and they tried to put us at a table in the aisle right next to the bar. We requested a different table, which they were able to accommodate. I’ll never understand this logic of let’s put the first customers in the worst location on the floor. Otherwise our server was knowledgeable and polite. I had the seafood risotto which was a bit to salty but otherwise very good. My husband had the steak which he liked.

    *Disclaimer* I eat out daily and travel often (budgeted). Not too many people my age have traveled more than me outside of pilots and career flight attendants. (bet it) I actually made a resy for this place so it's a bit worse since multiple people knew I was going and were looking forward to my feedback 😳. Didn't get sat until 30 after my resy time. THE only "restaurant" that I can recall ever leaving and feeling like the entire establishment was a joke. The food taste was normal, nothing memorable; 3.0/5 - the portion size is laughable. Ambiance - think cheesy seafood spot with bad decor wrapped in an old folks home; 1.5/5 - the lady who ended up serving me was nice. Value - 1.0/5 - guys, you've got to do better! Needless to say that I will NOT be returning and don't think in good faith that I could ever recommend anyone, even a worse enemy if I had one. Cheers to a massively underwhelming experience!
