    Two of us sat in the bar and we had a fantastic bartender, John, and really reasonably priced happy hour food and drinks. Bruschetta, angel hair pasta, and the grilled shrimp were particularly delicious. I’ve been going to Caro Amico for 35 years, and that’s the best their food has ever been. And that bar is just one of my favorite little bars in Portland.

Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and wonderfully accommodating. Great atmosphere, great food and drinks, and a view that's hard to beat. Definitely a Portland favorite and a place I'll be coming back to!

    This is one of our favorite restaurants. The food was all excellent this time even the dessert which I seldom eat. I love the fact that they employ a large number of runners to expedite the food delivery. One doesn't have to wait for anything.

    This is the first time I've been to Chart House in about 35-40 years. It is still as elegant as ever and the food was incredible. All five of us loved our meals - fish tacos, lobster bisque, caesar salad, the portabello mushroom omelet and the seafood salad. And the view can't be beat, even on a foggy day. I'll be back, and I won't wait 30 years to return :)
