- JJoeVIPPortland / Oregon •8 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGreat location downtown Portland, nice large space with corner windows, dark wood and brass definitely old school vibe. Perhaps it's the most head mounted over the bar. Food is consistent and very good, classic American Cuisine and good quality steaks. The service is always friendly informed and professional any questions they will steer you right. I appreciate the strong drinks and a heavy pours the bar has to offer. Jake's is my go-to place when I am in town.More infoJake's Grill - PortlandPrice: Moderate• Steak• Downtown•4.5

- MMannyOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoI’ve been going to PCG since I moved here. I can say the service is a hit and miss. It all depends on how much money you look like you have (to some servers). This time my server did not seem to care for anything except for great customer service! He was checking on us through, it also helped that we were sat close to the kitchen so it was hard to not notice my party. Food was just ok. I was upset that the mac n cheese was taken off the menu for “perfecting the recipe since it wasn’t good enough.” My daughter literally only goes there for that and their burgers. Overall it was a pleasant visit and as always a stunning view, especially with clear skies in January.More infoPortland City GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Downtown•4.5
- LLindaPortland / Oregon •2 reviews5.0Dined on 14 Jan 2025I wasn’t really impressed with the seating because I had specifically requested a more intimate setting for my partner and I as we were celebrating our birthdays and we felt like we were right in the middle of other parties both to our left and right and behind. So bummed out they didn’t take that booking information into consideration otherwise everything else was great.More infoFogo de Chao - PortlandPrice: Moderate• Brazilian• SW Portland•4
