Review of Departure Restaurant + Lounge

Departure is an old staple of the PDX foodie scene...

Departure is an old staple of the PDX foodie scene. Great roof top bar and very posh restaurant. Food is Asian fusion with a splash of experimentation.

This is a great place for a date or ladies night out. I was with my friend from out of town and this is her favorite place to go when she visits Portland.

Make sure to check out the restrooms. It is like you stepped into a Star Wars flick. Oh, and bring a jacket... there isn't a dress code per se but my friend always says the ladies restroom can get pretty chilly.
