This was our second visit to Portland and our second time dining here. We enjoyed their food last…read moretime, and this time, found it just as good. If you appreciate 'terroir' and how each environment impacts food sources uniquely; then you will appreciate the food of the Northwest. I have never experienced a raw oyster as I did that evening. I odered three on ice; all delicious but one especially just knocked me off my chair. It was so luscious and creamy, you must order it. The waiter informed me that it was a Pacific variety, but originated from Japan. We started with complimentary sour dough bread, soft and tasty. Then we shared a freshly prepared 'Classic Ceasar romaine, torn croutons, radish, Parmigiano-Reggiano, garlic-anchovy dressing This was exceptional. No bottled dressing here, hand-made and very tasty! My wife opted for the 'Fish + Chips: cider battered Pacific cod, fries, slaw, lemon' This arrived crispy and generous portions of fresh cod. Again, very well prepared. I chose the 'Sturgeon Picatta: butter-whipped yukon potatoes, lemon-caper sauce, wild mushrooms, crispy shallots persillade' If you have never tasted sturgeon, this is a must-try dish. The fish is moist and sweet tasting and has a very nice texture. All in all, we quafed local beers and enjoyed our meals immensely.

My wife and I visited this restaurant on our last night in Portland…read more Having consumed a significant quantity of food during a food tour a few hours earlier, we were not looking for anything heavy to eat. Feeling peckish, we ordered a few lighter items from the restaurant's menu, including a cup of clam chowder, a Dungeness crab roll, and a charcuterie board consisting of cheeses and smoked fish. The clam chowder was delicious. Liked that the chowder had actual clam shells inside. Also thought that substituting potatoes with gnocchi was a nice twist on a typical clam chowder. Made the chowder feel lighter. The Dungeness crab roll was tasty as well. Reminded me of a lobster roll since it came with a toasted and buttered lobster roll style bun. It came with a generous portion of crab meat, which was nice. The charcuterie board, or "Boards," as it's indicated on the menu, was the highlight of our meal. They allow you to build your own board from a list of artisan cheeses and smoked fish. We got the Aarewasser (cheese from Switzerland), Somport Fermier (goat cheese), Sockeye Salmon Dip, and Smoked Trout. If you order the board, you should definitely try out the Aarewasser. It's a cheese with medium firmness that tastes like a high-quality cheddar cheese. The smoked trout was surprisingly good. Not usually a fan of trout, but this one tasted different-a lot less fishy than I expected. All in all, our entire meal was satisfying. I'm not going to say anything we had was mind-blowing. However, it was a pleasant way to conclude our food-driven trip in Portland.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff answered all my questions about their supply and shipment of each type of fish they use for fish & chip.

I'm on the search for fish & chip replacement spot in PDX area since my favor go to spot in Newport shows their ugly side in this polarized climate. Will definitely come back whenever I crave fish & chip and definitely for special occasion since I can't afford to eat out often with each meal around $30 plus 20% tip, and since I stopped going to the Newport location in November 2024 and while I continue to check out other fish & chip in metro PDX.

The Kracked Crab has long been my go-to spot for seafood, especially for special occasions like…read moreanniversaries, birthdays, Mother's Day, and "push-present/s" -after birthing two of my babies. Their generous portions of crab boil--complete with potatoes, corn, sausage, and egg--have always made it feel like a great value, especially compared to other crab boil restaurants. Their Cajun butter sauce remains outstanding and is still one of my favorites. Previously located at the Happy Valley food carts, The Kracked Crab has since moved to a new location. Unfortunately, it's not immediately obvious they're in a food court setting, as the building signage only says "Sunny Sides," which made it a bit difficult to find. This was my first visit to their new location, and while I was genuinely excited to return with my daughter for a pre-movie dinner, the experience fell short of expectations. We already knew what we wanted to order--two #3 Legilicious meals--but upon arrival, there seemed to be confusion at the counter with the two groups ahead of us. The ordering process felt disorganized and lacked a sense of urgency. It appeared that the main staff member was working alone, possibly being trained by a manager or owner who was intermittently present. Our food took over 45 minutes to be prepared, which was surprising given the limited number of customers. This delay caused us to rush through our meal in order to make our movie on time. When the food finally arrived, the presentation and quality were noticeably different from past visits. The crab appeared less fresh, with some pieces looking freezer-burnt, and while the portion seemed large at first glance, much of it consisted of thinner crab legs, and a little watery. That said, the Cajun butter sauce was still excellent--rich, flavorful, and as memorable as always. A small bright spot was the care taken in packing our leftovers. The owner kindly ensured everything was sealed well so the buttery sauce wouldn't spill in the car. I especially appreciate this because I enjoy repurposing the potatoes and sausage the next morning for breakfast. Despite this less-than-stellar experience, The Kracked Crab is still my favorite seafood spot. I sincerely hope they're able to return to their previous standards in both crab quality and service speed. I'll definitely be giving them another chance.

The toppings weren't enough and they were not mixed just on the top layer so after the first few bites you are left with just regular McDonald's fries. The plus is they are open late (weekends).

The way the restaurant entrance is situated facing the parking lot along with the minimal lights/signage make it easily seem like it's closed for the night, but they definitely open until 2:30 AM. It's a pretty strange layout and atmosphere with a sparse layout of basic tables and chairs in what you'd imagine a linoleum lined basement bonus room would feel like. On the way to the restrooms are a bank of video slots that folks can play. Not sure who comes here for that. Other decor consists of just a number of empty Hennessy bottles. Service is pretty minimal and the menu is fairly basic and straight forward. I had the bun bo hue and fish sauce wings which both were tasty given the hour of night and hunger I was experiencing. Overall it's the vibe and atmosphere that brings this place down. Otherwise good for a late night option.

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...
