    Pinto noir rose
    Jenee S.

    Excellent wine! I've tried a variety of different kinds and they are all wonderful. The owners are very knowledgeable and friendly. I've also gone to an event held close to home here in Pittsburgh. They had samples with light appetizers. Highly recommended if you get a chance to attend any! They also ship so you can enjoy it anytime

    Great views from the tasting room/patio

    Extremely knowledgeable and friendly to all visitors. Beautiful views all around the property. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious wine tasting experience! Definitely worth the drive out!

    Wonderful wines, beautiful view and top notch staff. We absolutely LOVE this place. We highly recommend making the trip to enjoy this experience.

    We stayed here via Harvest Hosts in October 2020. Just an absolutely fantastic location, and Beth is such a wonderful host. We enjoyed the property, the isolation and spent some time in the tasting patio, as well. Could not recommend it more!

    Nothing like fresh sushi and lunch specials, now add them together and you're in for one hell of a…read moretreat. Murata is a short walking distance from The Porter Hotel. I was luckily able to walk in without a reservation which was a bonus. I had to say I was quite surprised at just how packed it was with many of the tables taken. They had a few rooms with traditional seating where you sat on the ground and took your shoes off. My lunch came with fresh miso soup and the entree itself. The sushi was absolutely divine and I was in awe of each cut. Phew was it a solid meal. I'm not too sure how it is during dinner service, but a very solid spot for lunch.

    Murata never fails to impress us and everyone we bring! Tonight we celebrated my birthday with our…read more8 month old and it was a blast! The sushi is phenomenal, fresh, perfectly sliced and prepared, and the toppings compliment the fish perfectly in a way that soy sauce would only insult the meal We had the carpaccio (tuna & salmon) and ended up ordering another, then moved on to salmon, albacore tuna, and bluefin medium tuna nigiri which was also sliced perfectly and proportioned beautifully to the wasabi and rice below it. Again, no soy sauce needed. We got the fresh salmon roll that had a spicy mayo type sauce and it was the perfect finish. For dessert we choose the cake & vanilla ice cream and were in love with how light and fluffy the cake was wrapped around the fluffy strawberry filling and vanilla ice cream was great as it balanced the sweetness nicely without stealing the show. I had some miso and green tea as well, the green tea never stops coming, I love that energy. We sat in one of the little rooms inside of the restaurant and it was nice floor style seating but still with room for your legs to go in. The waitress was incredibly kind - she brought out a kids bowl & spoon for our daughter and offered a sippy cup too. Overall it was an awesome birthday dinner, and something Id be lucky to do annually as the budget allows. What a treat!! OH! And park in the attached parking garage, bring the receipt with you, and get it validated for free, covered parking attached to the restaurant.

We ordered the Portland Timber, Rainbow (w/real crab), and the Big Easy. All amazing. Super fresh fish, good portions, didn't skimp on the good stuff. The miso was also delicious. The boyfriend also said their old fashioned was the best he's ever had. Which is saying something, because he orders those almost everywhere we go....he loves those things. We stayed for dessert, which we don't normally do, but good thing we did because the Matcha crème brûlée was a surprising combo that we loved. Staff was friendly and service was timely. I wish I had pictures but we eat before the cameras unfortunately for yall Would very much recommend!!

Maybe the idea is to help with any language barrier -- the server spoke fluent English, while often the sushi chefs do not -- but we found him way too attentive. We sat at the bar so we could interact with the sushi chefs. We did talk with a chef, but his advice wasn't very specific. So...despite plenty of suggestions from the server, and some advice from the chef, and a long time perusing and discussing the extensive menu, we still weren't sure what to order. We finally went with a combo and were disappointed to see it served in a boat! That just seemed like a gimmicky, touristy thing, we would have preferred a plate. The fish actually was very good, and so were the salads. A shrimp nigiri was the only misstep, as the shrimp was overcooked. I guess I would return to this place -- hopefully on that server's day off! And make sure my order is not coming on a little boat. And skip the shrimp.

    Craved for some good quality fried foods, gotta spend my quota here at Sushi Kiichi!…read more I rarely eat fried foods but when I do, this is def. on my list. It was busy as there were two servers but the service was a bit slow. Hope they can find some help or rest after the busy day! Mom and I each got two fried foods so we could share and have some for another meal, too. Ebi fry: always good, flakey, and it went well with the tartar-like sauce, tonkatsu: nice thick slices and the batter stayed onto the meat (unlike another place haha). Kaarage: the pieces were a lot bigger than the usual karaage at other places but still good and juicy. Assorted tempura: I liked the assortment as there were quite a lot of veggies and of course the shrimp! We also loved the croquettes as they're so soft and fluffy on the inside and the other side dish with a crunchy texture and the little fried squid (or octopus?) I wish I could order more of those! Can't forget the miso soup as it's not salty at all (unlike the other Japanese restaurants I've been to) and they had different types of tofu inside- delish!

The selection and quality of their sushi is always fantastic, and their salmon skin hand-roll blew my mind with its incredible, rich delishiousness.

    Is it wrong to love an office building? Well, I don't really care about your judgments anyway…read more I've worked at four different jobs in the 'Black Box' and let me tell you, my office building can kick your office building's ass. For one thing, this place has the most phenomenal building staff I've ever seen. Everybody from the security folks to the guy who vaccums the driveway and mops the parking garage (you read that right) are super friendly and strangely driven to make tenants happy. Despite being built in the 70's and being cloaked entirely in black glass, 200 Market has won all kinds of awards for sustainable building design and practices (mostly because of extensive retrofitting done in the 90s). It has aggressive recycling programs and it's own little co-generation facility next to the parking garage Yeah, take THAT Wells Fargo Tower! Now there's a Flexcar hybrid in the garage but they used to have a little electric two-seater that tenants could borrow to run errands! Can you match that, Umpqua Bank Building? I don't think so. So the lobby cafe has had its ups and downs, down on the plaza out front (where there are free lunchtime concerts every Wednesday in the Summer) we have Carafe and Murata, two of the best French and Japanese venues around these parts, respectively. And even if your lame-o office building could manage all that, which it can't, 200 Market has two grass BOCCE COURTS on the second floor and a September building-wide tournament that completely eliminates all productivity for an entire week. So yeah, I do love my office building. I don't care who knows it. I'd shout it from the roof but they won't let me up there.

    Quick Summary - Ordered via the kiosk…read more- Tables and chairs inside - Received a cute packet that contains chopsticks, a wet napkin, etc. - Recommend the original tuna (raw) - Located along the grassy parkway A light disclaimer is that I had this during the summer of 2024. We visited here in a summer evening, and it was also the hottest day of the time I visited Portland. My appetite was drained from the summer heat, so we wanted to eat something is refreshing and will cool us down. Out of the options, poke fit with our requirements; additionally, it was close within walking distance from the place we resided, so we didn't need to walk in the baking streets. There was a kiosk machine near the entrance, so we ordered our food from it. We all chose tuna as the main protein, but mine I kept as raw and my relatives chose the charred option. The dishes arrived at the same time and they also came with this cute beefy chopsticks packet. Unlike the typical chopsticks bag, this one contained a lot of goodies, including the wet napkin. This was nice. I enjoyed the poke from this restaurant because one, I can make it as simple as I want. This seems like a weird praise, but when you are in the Bay Area, their poke theme is stuffed with vegetables and other toppings, which I don't need. This eventually pushes the fish protein to the back, overall hiding the fish's flavor. Here, the poke was simple, where the main focus is the bright, red tuna and the toppings are lighter, sesame, seaweed, and pickled vegetables. For my record, the tuna tasted better as raw; my relatives mentioned that the charred made the tuna sweeter. I also felt the portions were just right for the moment, when the summer heat prevents me from eating more.

    Finally got to try and was satisfied. The Tuna-Salmon Don was fresh and filling, and the miso soup…read morea decent version. Price points are high for lunch, but not for seafood. Areas of Improvement: - no hot sauce, even Sriracha or Togarashi would be better than nothing. - too many gnats buzzing around, it doesn't need to be this way. - interior seating area was kinda cold. Staff was pleasant.
