Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Aurora

Delicious food, great server, exceptional Spanish Coffee

Portland City Grill is always a fun experience. From the 30th floor of Portland's "Big Pink" the views can be spectacular, and usually are. Over my twenty years as a resident of the Portland area I have been to Portland City many times. Actually my first date, after moving to Portland, was in the bar at Portland City Grill. I have enjoyed the restaurant with many family and friends, and they are always at the ambiance, service, food, and of course the view. I took a friend there for Thanksgiving Dinner in 2024, the restaurant had a special Thanksgiving Dinner meal, with all the fixings included. We had a wonderful view of Mount Hood. The staff provided excellent service, even with the restaurant being very busy, we still felt well cared for, and the meal was terrific.

Such a wonderful dinner! We celebrated our visiting family by taking them to one of our favorite restaurants. It was the right choice! Everything was amazing: the food, the service, the ambiance. Thanks for the perfect dinner!

Always a great place to bring out of town guests so they can appreciate Portland ds food scene.

We’ve blown past Parkway Grille for years—made FUN of it, even—why would we go out on a date to a random hotel restaurant with a view of the freeway? But we kept seeing reviews and even articles about the place, so we tried it on a whim. HOLY WOW, we’ve been missing out on an amazing dining experience, right under our noses, this whole time! The service was impeccable—Isaac is absolutely delightful and gave us killer menu suggestions; the other server, Carrie, is SO much fun to talk to—and the drinks! Zhanna is an epic bartender and she personally delivers the most beautiful cocktails to your table! The food was other worldly—my husband’s ribeye was perfect and my salmon was delicious. The appetizers were perfect, dessert was wonderful—the entire bill was really reasonable, and we’re kicking ourselves for skipping over Parkway Grille for so long. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you again for a lovely date night dinner!
