- JJeffreyVIPPortland / Oregon •64 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI have been to King Tide several time, I had some uneven dinners, but it was particularly good Saturday. Two of us had the King salmon and one of us had the scallops and we were all impressed. Salmon and scallops are easily overcooked and all were perfect. The wine by glass is good, and our servers was excellent and got us out in plenty of time to make our show at the Keller auditorium. The space in the Riverplace Hotel with views of the Willamette is lovely, and parking is convenient.More infoKing Tide Fish & ShellPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.2

- AAmberPortland / Oregon •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoThis is my favorite place to eat at anytime we are in Portland! I love the atmosphere of the pearl district location! We come here very often and always can’t wait to go back. My favorite is their chicken and dumplings. It’s so flavorful and warms your soul. My husband’s favorite is the chicken and waffles, so much flavor in the chicken and with a sweet potato waffle it just comes together so well. You won’t regret eating here!More infoScreen Door - Pearl DistrictPrice: Moderate• Regional American (Southern)• Pearl District•4.8
