Upscale restaurant, and a good value overall. Four of us all ordered different entrees. Each one was properly prepared, attractively plated and tasted great. Excellent wine, beer and spirits selection. Impeccable service. All with an outstanding view of Portland.

Delicious food, stunning views of the city. Try to get a window seat. Service was s little slow but we were there on a holiday.

We brought some clients to Portland City Grill who were in town from Malaysia and while the ambience and view is what we have always experienced at the Portland City Grill that was the only thing that resembled the way it used to be. The...food quality has gone downhill while the prices have gone sky high. We understand that the restaurants are experiencing their cost increasing as well but their price hikes per meal are not inline with what we see at the other restaurants around Portland including fine dining restaurants. $53 for four pan seared scallops? $65 for a New York steak with two pieces of asparagus and one tiny clump of potatoes. Our bill was $250 for four people with no appetizers and no adult beverages (or any beverages for that matter we stuck with water.) The short ribs were one of our favorite in the past however this time it was very dry and bland and our guest who ordered the $65 New York steak did not receive a steak that was cooked anywhere in the ballpark of what he ordered. We did not want to complain and have them re-cook anything as we did not have time to wait for the change. I am just hoping that management does read these reviews and that they take it to heart. Sadly they will not likely lower their outrageous prices so we will skip the view and take our clients to other restaurants around Portland that serve amazing food.More

Great views of the city, Mount Hood and Mount Saint Helens. Food was well prepared and the wine list was perfect, however service too slow.

The views are fantastic. I wish that it would be a more relaxed atmosphere. I got the vibe it was a high end place, which is fine, but I was on vacation and wanted a place to enjoy great views and a relaxed place to...have a cocktail. The service while I was there was great, nice staff.More

Several issues with this place (1) Food is truly unremarkable - except for their spin on crab cakes and chocolate torte everything else is just unremarkable. (2) If you’re there for the view, reservations don’t cut it even if there are many open window tables...readily available. The hostess provided some lukewarm explanation about arriving 15 minutes early and that on-time for reservation doesn’t mean anything. Okay. (3) Service is not worth the meal. The couple times we have gone there, the order of operations has been confusing. Waiters seem to take orders at random and miss at least one party at the table for at least one order. Drinks will definitely NOT be flowing, somehow we were not asked about a second round, dessert came to a dry table with just residual water. So plan to hound your waiter otherwise you’ll be waiting around for nothing. (4) Dont forget they only validate 30 more minutes than Whole Foods :) So while you wait for inadequate service you’re also running the clock on your 2 hr parking which is a finishing touch to the experience. (5) Furthermore do not go there during prime time. The contingent is not for people who want to enjoy dinner but rather those who don’t know how or when to photograph. The amount of flash that was on as people were trying to take pictures of the view out of the reflecting windows was spectacular and then they kept going for it, like they would achieve a different result in subsequent shots. Maybe the restaurant should invest in a photographer like medieval times and reduce the tackiness of flash photography… also don’t new phones have an exposure setting?More

The Portland City Grill is a true four star restaurant. The service and food are impeccable. This is truly is a must do in the city of Portland.

Portland City Grill is my favorite place to go eat. The filet mignon is my fave & the view is breathtakingly beautiful. The Sunday mimosa brunches are also amazing! The blood orange mimosas are delish!

I would call this place more of a touristy restaurant more than anything else. If you are new to the area or want to impress clients or a date this might be the place to go. The views are great. The food and service is...just ok. The young male host needs to be retrained. This is not apple bees or Friday's, he needs some polishing or move him somewhere where he is not the one that leaves the first impression to guests. Our server was new (she told us), she was ok. The prices are high so I expect more. Im glad I tried it, glad I wasnt paying but Im not going to be a return customer. My parents and the other older people in our group liked it... so there you go!More

We were fortunate to get a reservation last minute. Samantha our server was very knowledgable about the menu and attentive without being overly so. We had a romantic booth which offered perhaps one of the better views of Portland. My cioppino was prepared with halibut,...calamari, shrimp, scallops & Dungeness crab on top with toast with goat cheese. It was a good one. My wife had short ribs that were marinated with sweet ginger and slow cooked with house mashed potatoes and curry carrot purée. It was a good choice on her part.More

We came here on our last night in Portland. Great view of the city from the 30th floor. However the food is just as good as the view. My son had the clam chowder which was the soup of the day. Good soup but unnecessarily...had bacon added. I had the apple/gorganzola salad which was good but needed a little more bleu cheese. My wife had the tuna nicoise for dinner. It was very nice, huge salad. I had the scallops which were cooked perfectly and the accompanying vegetables were interesting and good as well. My son had sushi and a salad for his main course, all good. Service is outstanding.More

Lovely views, clean, comfortable and exceptional service. Sushi Roll was fantastic. Delicious, moist and prepared professionally. Kalbi beef, richly sauced, tender, moist and enjoyable. Crab cakes, (more crab than"cake"), fresh, crispy and the best we've eaten ever. Need reservations to capture a window table, so...take note. Special food at a special place.More
