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.

    I have been to King Tide several time, I had some uneven dinners, but it was particularly good Saturday. Two of us had the King salmon and one of us had the scallops and we were all impressed. Salmon and scallops are easily overcooked and all were perfect. The wine by glass is good, and our servers was excellent and got us out in plenty of time to make our show at the Keller auditorium. The space in the Riverplace Hotel with views of the Willamette is lovely, and parking is convenient.

    Over all Chart House is a great place to eat. The only 2 things I have about last night is, it was a little cold, but it was also snowing outside so that could have been that issue. The steak I had, medium rare, was a little bland at first, but the flavor came when I started to get half way through the steak. I mean it wasn't bad, but I shared with my girlfriend and she agreed at first. But like I said I'm not complaining for what I got. I expected to pay about $300 but didn't know they had a couples special so I ended up spending $221 for the meal and gave a 59$ tip. So I am still happy with everything
