Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Portland – 2024

From looking at the menu online, I expected a more formal atmosphere. Quaint rustic pub vibes, with a sophisticated palate. Happy Hour menu is impressive, we were seated right away, service was good. House made condiments like their sweet chili sauce, were awesome. Caesar salad was a new lighter twist on an old classic. Sweet chili sesame wings a must try.

Wow. What can I say...this place has the best drinks and burgers in town! My husband tried the lamb burger, and I tried the Elk burger. Both burgers were soon delicious and just filled with flavor!!! I really enjoyed eating there! And the drinks were really good as well. It's a must stop place to get yourself a quick bite.

Stopped in towards the end of happy hour and got a canned pfriem ipa. The bartender recommended their burgers and elk burger but I wasn't really in a burger mood so opted for the Pan fried Idaho Trout picante. I thought the potatoes and broccoli were a little undercooked and flavor on the Trout varied... was overall underwhelming. If you're in the area and in the mood for a chipolte elk burger, maybe?

Everything was perfect! For drinks, we had a bloody mary, strawberry lemonade, and a damn fine cup of coffee. For starters, we had an order of fried okra, a side of fried catfish with a side of horseradish comeback sauce, and a warm cinnamon roll! I had the shrimp and grits. My son had a chocolate chip waffle with whipped cream and a side of potatoes. My husband had the chicken and biscuits. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The service was amazing from beginning to end. The restaurant was cute and clean. It was busy, but our quoted 20-minute wait was only about 15 minutes. Everything was very efficient and organized. Definitely a well ran establishment.

We were visiting from Canada, and I want to come back to Portland just for this breakfast. We ordered the Praline Bacon to start, which was delicious. Sweet and salty with a little kick of heat to tingle the tongue. For our mains, we got the Cajun Scramble, Chicken & Waffles, and a side of Country Pork Sausage Gravy. The scramble was fantastic! Loaded with cheese, delicious andouille, and peppers and onions. The Chicken and Waffles were excellent; the chicken was moist with a well-seasoned batter, and the waffle had great texture and flavor. The Country Pork Sausage Gravy was delicious! It was the best pork sausage gravy I had on my trip. The only thing I was let down by may have been the biscuit. It was good, but not my favorite. But overall, this meal was incredible. If I am ever back in Portland, I will definitely be coming back here.

EASILY THE BEST BRUNCH I EVER HAD! EVERYTHING AND I MEAN EVERYTHING IS MADE FROM SCRATCH. The food is so tender and juicy. The best French toast ever! You gotta try the shrimp and grits. Their fried chicken breast with Waffles or with mash potatoes are BOTH AMAZING! Get there EARLY because if not you might have to wait 30-60 minutes to be seated. But it's well worth the wait. This is a Hidden GEM!

Celebrated my boyfriends birthday with family tonight. the table was decorated with “happy birthday” confetti and little mini diamonds scattered on the table cloth, and they left a sweet happy birthday card for him. Our server was so nice, and food was excellent. :)

Went to Salty's for my Birthday and was so happy! The food was amazing! The atmosphere was very pleasant! The employees went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable! Will definitely be back! They made my birthday so enjoyable!

A great place with stunning views. We came right at sunset so it was really nice catching that with drinks in hand. My bf ordered prawn pasta and it was pretty tasty. I had a cup of clam chowder and a spinach and lobster dip. I wasn't a fan of the dip though, it didn't taste fresh and was kind of bland. Otherwise everything else was lovely, especially the atmosphere. A bit overpriced in my opinion. If you're a fan of seafood and enjoy a waterfront view, I'd check this place out.

The food was delicious. The views were beautiful. The live piano music was lovely and relaxing. As someone who gets motion sickness, I was nervous but it was smooth and I did just fine. We had a great time and look forward to doing it again.

This was such a fun, relaxing part of our short trip to Portland. We loved the informative narration of all the sights we saw from the boat and the staff was very friendly. This is a must-do if you’re visiting and well-worth the money.

We booked the brunch cruise last min after other plans fell through, and we're so glad we did. The cruise was beautiful. The buffet food was good. Max our server was absolutely the best. I highly recommend.

A beautiful view, impressive service and food delicious. The drinks were exceptional. Prices were fair and the 360 view of the city...very nice. Looking across the river to the mountains. Even the traffic was nice. Another A1 experience. I'm stuffed over the three course meal.

The views are beautiful. We sat in the bar til our table was ready. Sitting in the bar and having a few drinks and a sushi roll was the vibe! As far as dinner service, our server was wonderful. The food was okay! Nothing I ate wowed my taste buds. Would I go back? For drinks and appetizers for sure!

The views and vibes! We were recommended this restaurant and happy hour and it was a win! Natalie was a wonderful and friendly server, putting love into everything from drinks to conversation. The food was delicious and the cherry on top was live music from a wonderful duo. Definitely a Fanntastic Friday ✨

Quick stay in Portland and this was right near my hotel. I had a turkey chipotle sandwich and fries. The sandwich was good, but not as flavorful as I would like (maybe a bit lite on the chipotle). The fries were excellent. The venue was clean and bright. The service was fast and friendly.

Visited for the first time today. This place is really pretty inside and I love the spacious seating area. They have a great menu of hot food to order. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries and two elephant shortbread cookies to go. The menu didn't specify that the burger comes with sauce on it so I was surprised when I got back to my office. I would have asked for this to be removed if I had known. The burger looked good but I didn't enjoy the taste of the sauce so I wasn't able to continue eating. This is something I'm willing to try again in the future. The fries were cooked perfectly and tasted good. The cookies were very tasty.

Food was typical. Service was great. Loved the atmosphere. Right in the heart of downtown Portland. Extremely open. Outdoor seating was great.

Bartender and server were so nice!! Went there for happy hour and the drinks were delicious. We had the spinach and artichoke dip and the burger slides. Both dishes were delicious and we left well pleased and with happy bellies. Parking lot is valet only during higher traffic times, so make sure you have cash to tip and be a good patron!!

Gorgeous view, excellent service. Superb food. There is valet parking here if you need it. Located up on the top of the terwilliger curves. Great wine selection, first time dining there was well worth it. Make a reservation. The crab cakes are fantastic!

We had an absolutely fantastic first visit. The food was incredibly delicious, the wine selection was excellent, and the service was outstanding. Paired with the incomparable view, it's an experience that can't be beat. It's definitely worth trying their Happy Hours as well. They have plenty of parking spots. We'll definitely be back!

It was fun sitting at the counter and watching the chefs make their mostly amazing dishes. The albacore entree was disappointing, the fish was perfect but it floated in an absolute sea of a pungent mustard sauce the overwhelmed everything else. The rest of our food was amazing, and honestly pretty reasonably priced for this kind of fancy place. We especially loved the cocktails.

Canard easily became one of my favorite dining experiences while visiting Portland. From the service, ambiance, and incredible dining options, Canard presented a robust and delectable menu which had me craving for me. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about their dishes and drink pairing options, while providing a comfortable and light-hearted experience. Each dish introduced different flavors that are out of this world. Highly recommended for those who are looking for a culinary adventure while also avoiding the hustle and bustle from the downtown area. Thank you to all the staff for an amazing experience.

Absolutely incredible. Best spot in Portland. The duck stack was my favorite. Perfect mix of a salty, savory, and sweet. Our server gave us great recommendations on wine and food. She was very knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. We watched the chefs make our food. It was a truly excellent culinary experience.

The food was not as good as I had imagined. Didn’t find their dish unique or full of flavor. Don’t get me wrong. The food is well cooked and delicious but no wow factor to bring us back for its price. But the mood and service were excellent!

Andina was such a delightful restaurant experience. Upon entering, I was blown away by how beautiful the inside is. It was beaming with South American roots, from the wooden architecture to the really cute ornaments and decorations they have spread out. The food here is deeply rooted in Peruvian culture and damn can you taste it. Everything was cooked perfectly and had me wishing I could eat everything on the menu. We tried the Ceviche which was great but just a little too sour for me. Alongside that, we got a stir fry beef dish which exploded with flavor upon every bite; the vegetables being firm and sweet alongside the meat and garlic rice made it an absolute treat. I have a potato and seafood dish along the likes I've never had before. It was such a great plate that I honestly was shocked just how good everything within it tasted. To top everything off, we had a dessert wine and a fudge like cake which made our dinner just even more perfect. The service was easy, nice and informative and most of all, the food tasted like there was care, passion, and thought put into its creation. I highly recommend Andina, a must visit restaurant within Portland for me!

Everything about this restaurant is perfect. The food is absolutely fantastic. It's delicious, presented well, and top-tier elegance. Every dish, from cocktails and appetizer to dessert and coffee were perfect. The service is stellar. The aesthetic is wonderful. A very authentic and genuine upscale restaurant.
