Review of Departure Restaurant + Lounge

Came here with a friend for Portland Dining Month ...

Came here with a friend for Portland Dining Month but we actually ended up not even eating from the Portland Dining Month menu because the stuff on their regular menu was just as good and just as reasonable priced.

Food: I really liked the Crispy Pork Belly. That is a MUST if you come here. The textures and the flavors are just so great and so fresh that I couldn't have asked for a more great dining experience. I thought the scallops were just okay, they weren't amazing but they were still savory. They were a bit on the plain side. Finally, the Bibimbap was a huge portion size! Definitely would fill me and my friend up even by itself.

Service: The server here was super super nice and checked in all the time to give us water.

Ambiance: This is definitely a place you go to when you want to eat well, I think this would be a great date location with the really nice view off the 15th floor.

Anyways, I wouldn't come again since this is more of a treat-yo-self place but it's a great dining experience!
