I am from Seattle and we went to Bridgeport Village the week before Christmas when we were staying in downtown Portland for the weekend. It was so packed we could not find parking, as expected for holiday. It is not as charming as I am sure the developers planned. Too much mixed traffic with pedestrian areas, no nice plants, buffer zones or nice places to sit. They have a plaza by Tommy Bahama, but it is pretty weak. Layout is not very smart, as large blocks of stores are seperated by parking lot, so you get little islands of stores. Why would they put a movie theater here? The theater must hurt the parking situation on busy days. The whole place has a circus atmosphere with upscale shops and tons of restaurants to choose from. Reminds me of a new housing development more than a shopping center. Not a very relaxing day. They had an excellent Japanese restaurant there near the theater, but I did not know the name of it. We had a great meal there and I liked the atmosphere. I hoped it would have it's own entry here, but I did not see it.
Pros: lots of variety
Cons: bad layout
