We used the occasion to hook-up with friends from Vancouver (also CA transplants) for lunch. We selected The Stone Cliff Inn as a convenient mid-way meeting place. What a delightful choice! As career restaurateurs (now retired) owners of a fine-dining California cuisine rustic restaurant of our own, we were most impressed by our complete dining experience at The Stone Cliff Inn. The atmosphere is spectacular (reminding us of the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite) as was the food and service. The four of us ordered fairly standard faire for lunch...sandwiches and a salad entree. Everything was prepared perfectly both in taste and appearance. The service, too, was beyond reproach. Our primary server, Marianne and her attendants were excellent. The basics of attentive table-side service (prompt order-taking, delivery, beverage refills, plate clearing, dessert suggestions & check presentation) were all conducted in a comfortable professional style. I, too, would be remiss if I didn't comment on my being extremely impressed that every single staff member with whom I made eye contact addressed me with a friendly "hello" and a smile from ear-to-ear. All in all, this was a delightful visit and the owners of this restaurant deserve praise for executing such a professional operation.

The service was fantastic. Friendly, informative, and personable. The whole experience felt intentional from the presentation and plate choices to changing out the dishes between each course, even how the utensils were placed. The tiny BLT amuse-bouche was such a fun start. Somehow they packed the entire BLT experience into one bite...smoky bacon, bright tomato, and a perfectly crisp puff pastry. The crab and corn was one of my favorites. The shrimp oil somehow tasted like pure shrimp in the best way, while the poblano sauce was bright and tangy and the sugar melon added the perfect sweetness. I was practically licking the bowl. My one callout, more crab please. Even the bread and tomato-chive butter was memorable. The tomato had a slight tang, the chive was subtle, and little bursts of salt made the flavor pop. The rabbit pie was another standout. The pastry was buttery, flaky, and SO light, while the smoked rabbit was tender and delicious. The mustard seed added a great acidic contrast. The rabbit heart was probably the one component I could've done without, just felt unnecessary? Didn't really add much? I also loved the seared foie gras and crispy duck confit taquito. The foie was incredibly tender, rich, smoky, and delicious. The taquito was a thin thin wrapper packed full of tender duck with great smokey flavor. The sturgeon pastrami genuinely tasted like pastrami despite being fish, which was wild! The rest of that course wasn't really for me, but I loved the citrus and pickled radish that helped brighten it up. The lamb was beautifully cooked and charred with rosemary, and the demi-glace was sooo good. The risotto wasn't my favorite, but honestly I think I might just not be a risotto person. Dessert was a great finish. The blackberry mousse was fresh, light, fruity, and nutty with a delicious cardamom flavor. The foie gras profiterole was also surprisingly good. You couldn't even taste the foie gras, and the slight saltiness worked so well.

As you walk in, you're greeted by a market and an oyster bar. Then, through another entrance, you discover the dining room. It's such a fun and unique layout. They offer a tasting menu, but since we were planning to stop somewhere else afterward, we ordered à la carte. We started with the oysters, and they were incredible. The strawberry sherry jelly on top elevated the fresh oysters beautifully, adding just the right touch of sweetness and acidity. Next came the chickpea socca and the tomato salad. Together, they were absolute perfection. The tomato salad was one of the best I've had. Dressed with a tomato-water dashi vinaigrette, it was bright, refreshing, and full of umami at the same time. Light, yet surprisingly deep in flavor. Our favorite dish of the night was the Summer Pasta. The lemon butter sauce, tender summer squash, and bursts of fresh tomato created the perfect balance. Every bite tasted like summer. For our final dish, we had the halibut with artichokes, couscous, and grilled kombu. It was beautifully cooked and everything paired well together. It was delicious, although the earlier dishes had set such a high bar that this one felt a little more familiar. The service was warm, the atmosphere was relaxed, the beer selection was excellent, and every dish was thoughtfully prepared. It was one of those dinners where everything simply came together. I would happily come back the next time I'm in Portland.

The food was Pacific Northwest dining using local ingredients and making them shine. We had 3 starters, which allowed us to try different things.

The dessert tasted homey though also unique. Service from beginning to end was friendly, very knowledgeable and thoughtful. Wine pairing recommendations were on point. If I lived in Portland, this would be on regular rotation. Highly recommend.

We choose to sit by the river and outdoor view in the shade. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, we decide to try the Prawns and Scampi and the Double Dipped Fried Chicken Sandwich. The Scampi is served with large sized Prawns with thin Spaghetti noodles, garlic and artichoke hearts, grape tomatoes and Parmesan garlic bread, this a good sized lunch serving, it was great tasting, we took home a good portion, we also had the Fried Chicken Sandwich, it had good flavor but it was a bit more crispy than I expected, still worth the try, it was also served with fries, the lunch menu is very extensive, lots of great seafood options such as clams, amazing clam chowder with Salmon bits and seared fish tacos. The wine list as well as the Beer list is extensive. We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere the river views and the food, we will be returning and recommending Wildfin to our friends, we look forward to trying the location in Cedar Hills closer to our home.

Food is good but the Portland food scene is strong so you can get something similar for cheaper and with better service, because the service is terrible here and they do an automatic 22% service charge which is not deserving for the poor service The restaurant has a cozy interior and a beautiful exterior with river views, and we opted indoors as there were mosquitoes outside and we did not bring bug spray. For dinner, we had lobster bisque with sourdough, ahi tostadas, octopus a la plancha, and hazelnut sturgeon with gigantic beans. The lobster bisque was okay, not creamy and felt more like a tomato soup with lobster chunks. Ahi tostadas were incredibly tiny - 3 pieces for $15. The octopus was good but only a few pieces with lots of potatoes inside - again value not there. The sturgeon was delicious but the beans were a bit rough. Decently executed but $44 for this is quite steep. One plus is that we ate right after social hour where hotel guests get free small bites and various wines that is more or less unlimited so that saved a bit of money on alcohol For breakfast, we had a mushroom hash which was very salty. The King Tide omelette was delicious - egg was a bit overcooked but the inside is creamy with a good amount of lobster - which it has to be for $32. We also got lemon ricotta donuts freshly fried which was also delicious. Service is where the reviews tank. If they are charging such high prices, the service must be amazing. However, it felt quite the opposite. During dinner, no one took away plates and so we ended up presented the bill with dirty plates stacked high on the table - very unclassy look. It took a while to flag the server down. For breakfast, most of the tables are empty but they forced us to wait 15 minutes at the sofa which was occupied so we had to awkwardly stand the whole duration. It would have been better if they seated us with menus and give us a heads up they are backed up and would need some time to serve us, so that way we can decide what to order in the meanwhile. Also, unlike the other tables, they never proactively gave water. Such huge misses in service felt like they are complacent that they get the 22% service charge and not try...
