Best Steak Restaurants in North Portland

Super busy on Christmas... at least if your reservations were between 3:00 and 4:00. They also didn't stage the tables well. Our server told us they gave her 5 tables all at once. It was almost a half hour after being seated before she even took our drink orders. We were done with appetizers before our meal order was taken. Other than the length of time it took to be served and waiting for water to be refilled, dinner was good. Calamari and Brie were our appetizers... the cloves of garlic with the brie were spot on. One daughter had the stuffed salmon that she enjoyed. My other daughter, mom, and I had different fettuccine. Mine was salmon and wild mushrooms, and the salmon was in decent sized chunks. My boyfriend had steak, which he said was the perfect medium rare. All in all it was a wonderful meal.

Jake's has a very comfortable, familial feel to it. I always feel quite at home there compared to many other restaurants. We had Christmas lunch there and one of my dining companions said the roast chicken was the best he'd ever tasted. The butterscotch pudding for dessert is so creamy and has just a hint of burned sugar to it which is a nice element. Coffee is very good.

Laurelhurst Market is our #1 place in Portland because it offers consistent, amazing food, superb service, and a wonderful outdoor space. We celebrated Christmas Eve and were treated to 5-star service, the most melt-in-your-mouth filet Mignon, tasty wine and cocktails, and a special end-of-meal egg nog made in-house. We will return soon.

Excellent! Everything was perfect! Bone-in porterhouse for two paired with potato au gratin, asparagus with hollandaise was one of the best meals we’ve had in long time. Grace, our server, was amazing! Grace’s attention to detail and menu offering knowledge was outstanding! Thank you RC for a wonderful dining experience.

The Chilean Seabass was excellent, along with the beet salad and the wonderful flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Our waiter was most helpful in making suggestions for my dietary issues. Sitting next to the window, even on a rainy day was beautiful. I highly recommend Portland City Grill for their outstanding service, excellent food, and of course, the view!
