    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!

    We went the day before Christmas Eve and it was the most amazing and memorable experience of a lifetime! We had just found out that my FIL has a very aggressive form of cancer and this was a memory none of us will ever forget. The six of us ordered about 9 HH apps and two entrees and everything was a 10/10! The food was the out of this world, our server was the most attentive we’d ever had, and the ambiance was quiet, exciting, and amazing the entire time. I highly recommend this tapas-style culinary experience of a lifetime!

    Always an amazing experience at Janken. The server knew her stuff and helped us order the adequate amount for our party of six. The drinks were delicious. The place was packed and we all could easily hear each other. This is a must go to place in Portland.

    We did the tasting menu and the only complaints are that it was heavy on the salads and there was no dessert. But it was great food and great service. Would definitely recommend
