It's a transporting experience up there-the views are stupendous and the drinks not too shabby either. Upscale interior draws ire from the locals, but that's okay. Being out on the deck makes you feel like you're on a cruise ship. Decent service and cool bathrooms. I like it here.…
Eating at Departures is one of the best
dining experiences in Portland, OR.
I am vegan and I go there with friends who are Gluten Free, Vegan, and meat eaters. The Pan Asian style cuisine is diverse inventive, creative, and delicious!!! The service is amazing!!! The drinks are also innovative and taste incredible. The view and interior is stunning. The vibe is trendy, but with the down to earth vibe of Portland. I have been in similar places in LA or NYC and the wait staff can be snotty. Not at Departures! The wait staff, management, and host are all the kindest and warmest people you'll meet.
This is my new favorite restaurant in Portland. Thank You to everyone at Deaprtures for making my life happier!!!
And PS: Deaprtures is an amazing place to throw a party. My friend had a Birthday bash for his wife at Departures on March 16th. They rented the room off of the balcony. The views were gorgeous. The staff handled the party beautifully. Everyone was commenting on how great the party was, and the birthday girl had an evening she will never forget.…
Amazing View & Trendy Vibe.
Go here to see and be seen. Taking a chance at sounding snobbish, this is where the "pretty people" go. If your vibe is casual or hipster, this place will not make you happy. If you like some
flash, a kick-ass 15th floor city view atop a great patio, and you're trendy you'll enjoy it.
Trendy, young, with a small LA sort of vibe. Wear your sexiest shoes and dresses here. If your wearing jeans, dress them up with lots of accessories, a fabulous top and a stylish coat.
Pick and choose your food wisely and ask your server what portion sizes are like. Usually food is smaller than you'll get elsewhere and definitely more expensive. I recommend coming here for a couple of drinks , socializing, taking in the view and moving on. . .that is, if you can get past the very long line to get in.…
Snobby waitress. The place and the food was enjoyable, except for the snobby waitress, Amy. What a disappointed attitude!
So many better places in Portland. I found this place to be dirty and worn our for being fairly new. The bathroom felt like I was in prison and not in a good way. Drinks were fine once we were able to order them. I thought the patios were small and unconfortable looking for having such a great view they could do so much more with them. Also they need more windows and a good cleaning of the entire place including the elevators. I probably won't go back there.…
