This is what happens when a company is bought out by a private equity firm. Their only objective is to make money at any cost! Portland City Grill used to be one of my favorite places in all of Portland, not anymore. Since, being bought out their prices have increased at least 25% (food and drinks don't let the happy hour food fool you.) Folks, this is in the middle of the worst recession since the great depression.
I'm sad to say that it looks like Portland City Grill has taken a turn for the worse. Their prices have gone up substantually and their portion sizes have gotten even smaller. And the Cesar salad I had was horrible-the lettuce was white and had spots of brown and tasted bitter. And I wouldn't call it a salad either-it was just some lettuce with some dressing with two razor thin slices of dried up cheese and two tooth chipping breadcrumbs. This for $8.50? I've had better salads for $1 at McDonald's! The menu selections are very limited and if you order the cheapest entries for 2 people you're out $50 without drinks! The waiter was nice but there were way too many of them just standing around talking loudly and one waitress even smacked a guy's butt! I have always loved going to this restaurant as a treat to myself and my family every few months but now it's time to find a new favorite restaurant.
The food was great, the service was better, and the view was unforgettable. I definitely recommend sushi, the philly roll was yummy! The atmosphere is very romantic, with soft lighting and comfy seats. Dress is casual (as is Portland's way). Went with no reservations and we were seated within 30 minutes (on a busy Friday night!). Check it out if you are in Portland for sure!
