    Had a great lunch here with a friend on a 75 degree sunny day - perfect! The location is perfect, sitting at a picnic table, enjoying the view of the Columbia River inches away, and sunshine - it makes me smile just being there, Food is great, too! Remember, this is a casual cafe. But for a casual place, the turkey reuben was phenomenal! Toasted marbled rye bread, lots of turkey, sauerkraut and Russian dressing all came together into a flavor bomb, so satisfying. Saved half and enjoyed it for lunch the next day. The fries were super crisp. Excellent. Waitress was friendly and efficient. Even though it was lunch, I ordered a cocktail because it was that kind of a day. A refreshing spicy margarita on the rocks, no sal, did the trick. My only complaint, and there is no way to change it, is the ramp walking down is so steep, more so when the river is low. So for people with mobility issues, it's challenging. I made it down and back up no problem, but would hesitate to go there mid summer when the water is a lot lower. Oh, and I bought a long sleeve cotton tshirt. I couldn't resist the light blueish gray color. Love it!

    I absolutely love this place. My husband and I have to come at least once every summer. We come for the food and the views. I definitely recommend it. The waiters/waitresses are always super friendly. The food is delicious, which I definitely recommend their calamari and fish tacos. The red velvet cake was not my favorite. It almost tasted like froze and thawed out but other than that everything else was amazing. Oh and let's not forget that it's Dog friendly! To get down to the main area is a bit of a hassle since the ramp is a bit steep. So I definitely recommend wearing sneakers .

    Flying into PDX at 9:40 AM, I was craving some good seafood. My girlfriend picked me up, and since we were heading south, we didn't want to stray too far from the airport or I-205. Not many places were open between 10-10:30 AM on a Sunday, but this spot popped up--and we're so glad it did! We loved that it was right on the water, offered seafood options and mimosas. Most restaurants downtown didn't open until 11 or even noon, and we didn't want to wait that long. Our waiter was fantastic--super cheerful, funny, and rocking a great matching outfit. I wish I remembered his name! He was attentive, and our food came out fast. We shared the 4-piece halibut and fries along with the shrimp salad. It was tasty, affordable, and perfect for our appetite. We've been to Salty's nearby for their all-you-can-eat buffet a few times, but their price jump from $69.99 to $90 made it hard to justify--especially since we weren't that hungry. All in all, it was a beautiful Sunday, and I couldn't have asked for a better welcome back to Oregon.

    Been coming here for years and it's a great time to relax on the water with some good company, food and drinks. It is kind of a hike down onto the dock, and the back up could be a little tough as it's steep. Kind of cool to see all the boats and wish you had one. Their food is pretty good; drinks are great- they even make mocktails. There are two different kind of seatings- one is 'inside' (which is still outside) for larger groups. And the other is outside and it's family seating so you may be sitting with others, but everyone is respectful. The airport is nearby and you see the planes overhead. You can also bring your dogs which was nice to see. The parking is just off marine drive and if you go too fast you will pass the entrance.

    Steep ramp to parking lot. Power chair couldn't handle it

    Had a great lunch here. All the seating is outside on "the deck". It was a beautiful day right on the water surrounded by sailing yachts. Great atmosphere. Lotta birds come in and land on the tables and the floors around you, but there are signs that say please don't feed they get aggressive. Lol. The food we had was absolutely delicious every bit of it. I had fish and chips that included some of the best tasty fish I've had and quite some time. It was flaky and actually tasted like fish. It came with coleslaw that was also very good. My wife had the shrimp tacos and loved them as well. For appetizer, we had steak bites that were so tender. I was happily surprised when I ate my first one. I was expecting the tough little meat nuggets that I usually get, but these were very tender. Very tasty. Now the bad news. This place is NOT ADA friendly! Navigating out on the deck is navigable. Getting there is not easy. You have to go over many ramps and obstacles to get there. Restrooms are not easy to get to. The worst thing is the ramp was too long and steep that my power chair could not handle the incline and I was stranded. Thankfully two people were able to push me along with my wife to the top. As much as I loved the food I will never return.

    Happy Hour fish bites and chips with a Pfriem draft Pilsner
    Jonathan N.

    Overall a great place to meet friends for a nice atmosphere on the floating restaurant and to take in some sunshine in the outdoor deck. Good menu of local beer, wine and cocktails and a great place for Happy Hour. 4 stars mainly for the happy hour food pricing as menu items could be a better value but aside from that, a good solid choice.

    Burger and seasoned fries.
    Jennifer M.

    Lunch or dinner on the water!!! The views are gorgeous, the food is decent and the prices are affordable. The service is better than average. Overall The Deck is a was excellent for water front dinning.

    Steak bites with coleslaw and garlic bread.

    Back again! Great experience this time around. Super nice manager - wish I got his name. The weather was perfect and the drinks and food were spot on.

    When I read 'Seasonal floating restaurant' I am probably in... And am glad I was! I went to dinner with friends and we all loved the water, the birds, the sunset and the Thursday night sailboat regatta happening on the river. The place has a great, breezy feel, friendly staff, tasty beach shack food and well-crafted beverages. We had stretchy fried cheese curds, creamy chowder, excellent steamed clams, prawns and chips and a crisp, garlicky Caesar along side some original margaritas. This place closes at sunset so if you're in Portland and want a seaside spot (well-river but the maritime vibe was unmistakeable) and you can manage a steep ramp... give The Deck a try!

    Their $16 "Chowder Bowl" in a small mug (see tiny crackers). If it doesn't come in a bread bowl, you should not call it a chowder bowl.
    Jay B.

    I paid $16 for a small bowl of warm, bland, soupy clam chowder. Let me repeat: $16 - S i x t e e n D o l l a r s - for the most forgettable bowl of clam chowder I have had in ages. Who charges $16 for a small bowl of soup? Adding insult to injury, everyone at the table including myself thought that my chowder would come in a bread bowl, as the menu read "CHOWDER BOWL." Nope. Just a regular little bowl of tepid cream soup with some clams piled at the bottom. The crackers were the tastiest part. Oof. How embarrassing. It never occurred to me to read the fine print, as this is literally the only place I have ever been in my entire life that calls a regular bowl of chowder a "Chowder Bowl." By far the most expensive chowder I have ever eaten; even more than the bowl I had at an uppity restaurant in New York last year ($12 - very hearty, clams evenly suspended throughout, spiced perfectly, and delicious). Also, the tall, bear-like Mr. Matchy-Match server with his wacky onesie uniform was just obnoxiously loud. Tell that dude to simmer down for crying out loud. He is WAY too nice-guy loud. It was super distracting to have to listen to this guy barking at other tables throughout our meal, "DID EVERYONE GET WHAT THEY WANT? WHO NEEDS MORE DRINKS? EVERYBODY HAPPY HERE? WHO HAD THE BURGER?" Yo, calm down, my dude. We aren't standing next to a roaring helicopter here. I'm trying to talk to my friends over a meal, bro. 2 stars for location alone.

    Haven't been to this little gem in years, and glad we tired it again. First off, yes it's technically ADA accessible, but when the water is low, I'd not try if in a wheelchair and not steady and brakes are not on point or have serious mobility issues, as ramp can be steep. We are not, but always looking out for my ADA friends out there! The staff and food here is great. Our server Ziggy was crazy funny and makes it seem like you're his only table. And, we were not a big ticket tonight. Cheers man, and awesome! Onion petals ($10), were crispy, onion was sweet and chipotle sauce was fire. Steak bites ($15) were juicy, perfect cook (medium-medium rare) and seasoned to perfection. Steamers ($22) had lots of chips (broken shells) in them, but, let's not worry about that (just mentioning if anyone reads, to BOLO that), they were delicious and I even asked for the broth to-go, as I have no shame. Can't beat the location and not a bad seat in the house. River views as, you're in it. Parking is plentiful and free. Island Cafe who? Check out this place.

    Salmon teriyaki taco with nachos salsa and spicy corn
    Che'Michone R.

    Amazing view, friendly and attentive service, the salmon tacos were tasty but a little over cooked for my liking, I enjoyed the seasonal drink but so did the bee that kept trying to get tipsy on my dime. Don't wear any type of heel even a kitten heel or wedge ladies. Laid back spot.

    Deck Burger, Single Taco, Coconut Shrimp
    Sara S.

    What an awesome setting dining on the deck! Service was friendly. Fries were yummy - crispy with a savory lemony taste. Burger was thin and could be more flavorful. Wish dressings and sauces were better.

The duo of bartenders covering the area did an awesome job (thank you guys!). I tried a draft cider and we got an order of coconut prawns to start. Not only were the prawns delicious, the slaw they came on was soooo tasty. We both tried the social hour burgers. We got them with double patties and fries.

Unfortunately this time, we left very disappointed. My wife has a sensitivity to spicy foods. Upon ordering appetizers for the table, we asked if any of them (that had a spicy description on the menu) had the option to have the sauce on the side. She proceeded to ask how the scallops were and went ahead with that order. There was absolutely no description of having any spicy component on the menu nor any mention by the server. Upon her first bite of the risotto, she went into a severe coughing fit :( I tasted it and acknowledged how spicy it was. She proceeded to just eat the scallops. We were mostly done when the waiter came to check on us ... My wife asked if the dish is typically spicy. Response was "oh yes" ... It was completely lost on us why he wouldn't have mentioned that to her upon ordering knowing how she questioned the appetizers. His offer at this point was a new meal .. which was nice but we were mostly done. There really wasn't much in the way of sincerity beyond that. It seems the right thing to have done was offer my wife (celebrating her birthday) who didn't enjoy her meal ... maybe a comp'd drink or maybe a dessert (no acknowledgment of her birthday at all. When you spend north of $300 ... Disappointing to say the least. Upon leaving, I decided to just express my concern to the hostess and suggested adding the spice level of this specific entree to the menu. I reaffirmed my wife didn't get to fully enjoy her meal. I received a lukewarm "thanks for letting us know." The worst part of the whole experience was a manager/owner type was a few steps behind her, made eye contact and was fully aware i had an issue and made absolutely no attempt to come over and address the complaint. I no longer blame the waiter for his lack of concern knowing it flows from the top. We all go out and spend top dollar at nice restaurants for good food but also, for service and the experience. The restaurant has been opened awhile and maybe is established enough where this isn't as much of a priority as it was early on. In contrast, we went out the night before to a more established fave restaurant of ours in Portland (Ava Genes). Had an incredible meal, incredible experience, and uber attentive service. They even went the extra mile and made a big deal that we chose them to celebrate. Ended our evening with a simple complimentary scoop of gelato/candle. It was a nice touch. Certainly didn't mind spending the $$$ for that evening. I wouldn't dissuade anyone from trying The Cove if they've never been (I'm hopeful they just had a bad night) ... but there are so many good choices out there, it will most certainly make us think twice before going back.
