King Tide Fish & Shell, led by Executive Chef Alexander Diestra, is a riverfront seafood restaurant and bar inspired by the laid-back fishing lodges of family vacations gone by. With sparkling waterfront views of the Willamette, a welcoming energy and a menu that ranges from no-fuss to fancy, here at King Tide we serve fresh, inventive seafood dishes with local ingredients that are uniquely Portland.There aren't many places that command the vantage point we enjoy here at King Tide, so we like to make sure it lives up to Portland. We do that with a blend of the traditional and the non, the comfortable and the slightly twisted, the satisfying food and the swinging drink.As we like to say, King Tide is where food & drink & people always complement each other, and everything goes with the view.

    We love Saltys! The service style is a throwback to when restaurants were special occasions any time you ate at one. Because of this the service is always on point and welcoming. The food is wonderful with local options and lots of them! I love their specials which are always different when we come. This restaurant is a classic for a reason! Also the view! Can’t be beat.

    I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a chef tasting menu for our anniversary. This was the best choice by far. The chefs tasting menu for 2 was intimate and romantic without being pretnetious. It was the perfect amount of food and everything was so delicious. From the service to the food... Everything was perfect. Whenever people ask me where they should go, this will be the first place I suggest. And just to prove how good the service was, as we were already out the door heading to the car, our hostess/waitress called out to us to wish us a happy anniversary and to thank us for dining with them..... She deserves a raise!!

    1/8/2025 - At my age, 77, I have lost my appetite for restaurants and prefer my cooking. The Chart House is an exception to my preference as the restaurant is excellent, like 10 out of 10 on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being best, as to quality of food, presentation of the dish, taste and service. Nothing more need be said.
