USA - Portland (Oregon) restaurants

 

One week vacation in Portland (Oregon).

My sight-seeing webpage link:  Sightseeing Portland (August 2024)

 

 

 

Portland City Grill
US Bank building  (Portland, Oregon, USA)
https://www.portlandcitygrill.com/menus/#dinner-menu-rpcg 

Remarks (September 2024):
This restaurant locates on 30th floor of US Bank building. It has panoramic view of Portland city.
Food was good. I had raw oysters (appetizer). Chilean sea bass as main course.
The fish was cooked very nicely, crispy texture outside & very tender inside (cooked exactly the right timing).

 

 

 

El Gaucho  (Portland, Oregon, USA)
https://elgaucho.com/portland/ 

Remarks (September 2024):
I had steak tartare (appetizer, prepared by the table), filet mignon (main course), flambé bananas foster (dessert, prepared by the table).
Food & service were good.  I like the dessert presentation, just like showtime (pan with flame).
The dessert presenter worked in The Penthouse at Mastro's (Beverly Hills, California) previously.

 

 

 

Salty's on the Columbia  (Portland, Oregon, USA)
https://www.saltys.com/portland/  

Remarks (September 2024):
This restaurant has good view of the waterfront (Columbia River).
I had clams in wine sauce (appetizer), seared tuna (main course), mixed berries (dessert).
The mixed berries were not in the menu, I was too full, and prefer some fruits to finish the meal.

 

 

 

Jakes' Famous Crawfish  (Portland, Oregon, USA)
https://www.jakesfamous.com/menus/#dinner-jkcr  

Remarks (September 2024):
This restaurant is very close to The Nines Hotel where I stayed.
I had escargot (appetizer), fish (main course), apple pie (dessert).
Escargot (with garlic) is one of my favorite appetizer. 
I took the photo after I started eating the apple tart, that's why the tart shape was slightly distorted.
