Departure And Lounge - Portland

One of my favorite spots to take people who are visiting the city. The staff are all very kind and knowledgeable of their wines/liquors/drafts/plates. On a Friday or weekend evening make sure you preemptively make a reservation… if not you can likely walk in and get a spot at the bar which still serves full menu. As per recommendation, and the most popular plates happened to be the Departure Wings and Pork Belly. The wings fell right off the bone and had an amazing texture to them. The sauce was light, but nothing special (4/5). The pork belly was fantastic… beautifully cooked, and nearly melts in your mouth. The sauce was fantastic, and didn’t take over the pork taste (5/5). The hallway to the rooftop bar lounge has an incredibly intimate atmosphere. The restaurant has a fun futuristic feel to it. I highly recommend this spot and will likely go back again to explore the menu further like the sushi and dim sum.

Great atmosphere. Waiter passed the vibe check (looking at you David). Food was as good as it gets. Prices are fair.

My husband and I have been here twice and both times the food was exceptional and the service is great. What prompted me to write a review though was our server, Jesse, who waited on us for my husband's birthday. He was extremely attentive, entertaining, had great suggestions, and overall just a great waiter. Jesse suggested the steak dim sum for the experience and it was divine. The servers and bussers were also on top of their game that night. The food was something else. Everything was so delicious and every drink was perfect. I'm already day dreaming about the next time I'll be able to go! Keep up the good work.

The wings were great price was crazy for just that being good

This has been one of my favorite rooftops in the city for years. I have had the majority of the menu items they are all delicious. The service team is always knowledgeable and friendly. They have a fantastic bar program. The view is gorgeous and makes for a lovely and impressive date option.
