Restaurants near Portland Observatory

The mussels and sole francaise were truly outstanding. It was all hot and full of flavor. The Opera cake was a great finish to our dinner. Service was top notch.

I had a wonderful first dining experience here this weekend. Hubby and I decided to get the prix fixe, chef’s choice menu in order to get a sampling of surprises. We ate appetizers: tuna with beets (I think) and house made pickled vegetables, and then they brought biscuits and duck broth to the table. I’ll pause here to rave about this offering. I’ve never had anything like this before so it was a totally unique and absolutely delicious combination. I couldn’t decide if it tasted like dessert or something savory because it was umami and warming spices and rich carbs all at once. Then we were brought a beautiful plate of dragon carrots served whole sliced down the middle. We had scallops, and then the main course which was monkfish and Shepherds pie. We were pleased because these were the entrees we were going to order before we were sold on the chefs choice menu. Both were excellent. There was a blueberry corn cake and pumpkin loaf for dessert. Also had a really nice glass of wine with dinner. I’ll be coming here again.

Great Experience! Food was amazing, server was very attentive.
