Restaurants near Swan Island

If I lived in Portland, I’d be here once a week!! Great bar, terrific wine list, knowledgeable sommelier, delicious food, friendly attentive service. This place would be a success in any city anywhere, be it NYC, LA, SF etc

We arrived when they opened at 4:00 so it was easy to get a table with a great view. Took my 12 yr old granddaughter for her bday. She was impressed! The service was excellent. Sherry was great. The water guy, Chris, was very friendly and helpful! Food was good but not a lot of choices for my granddaughter who doesn’t like seafood. (Our problem not theirs). She loved the bread! Lol! They gave her a small piece of cake for her bday.

Took my dad for his 84th birthday. He had a hard time deciding what to get - everything sounds delicious. They provided a dairy-free desert option on the house once I told our waiter - who was fantastic- that my dad can’t do dairy. All around a special evening and we will be back.

We were a party of seven and with that group we were requested to enjoy our meal family style. that worked out great. It was a lovely fresh variety of tastes and flavors and a good time was had by all. This group of restaurants-MEC-were highly recommended by a colleague who had moved from New York to Portland two years ago. I am a native of the Seattle area and the other guests were from several parts of the US.

Always excellent comfort food - this is bar-none, the best fried chicken in the world! I went in a different direction and had the fried chicken salad. It was super yummy, too. Today, our server was kind and engaging but forgetful, which was a bummer. We had to ask a couple of times for water and drink refills.
