Our experience at Departure was excellent; the food, the waitstaff and the ambience were all top notch. We had family from out of town and they were impressed by the hotel and the view from the restaurant. We would definitely enjoy another meal there. Everything was delicious!!!

Alouette is truly one of a kind and one of the most gorgeous spaces I’ve ever dined in at. When I first walked in I was absolutely stunned by how beautiful it was, then I was greeted with such warmth and kindness from our server. We got seated right away: the food was THE BEST Vietnamese-French food I’ve ever had, so unique and the flavors were all on point. I was blown away… from the beginning to the end i was extremely impressed by their hospitality. Everything was absolutely perfect and this is now my new favorite restaurant ever! Portland needs this so much and I’m so happy Alouette is here. Can’t wait to take everyone here and show them!
