need restaurant rec. for saturday

My husband and I are showing up in Portland on Saturday. I haven%26#39;t given any thought yet to restaurants and I would imagine I need a reservation for Saturday night. We%26#39;re staying at the Westin downtown. I am looking for restaurants within walking distance, or a short ride on the MAX. Based on what I%26#39;ve eaten over the past two weeks, I%26#39;m probably going to be hungry for seafood or Japanese. Other cuisines are welcome as well, just no Italian or Thai as I%26#39;ve had too much of that lately.

Thanks!

Go to the Portland City Grill, they have really good Shushi here and beautiful views of the city. :)

If you and your husband are not fans of single bars and the atmosphere that goes with them, I think you might skip the Portland City Grill. Sushi can be gotten in many good Japanese restaurants in town, as well as at Henrys Tavern .. which is happily a much better atmosphere.. sans view..

Southpark is one of the best of the seafood places in my opinion, :)

The Streetcar is just about 3 maybe 4 blocks up the street from the Westin and it makes a Loop of the whole downtown part of Portland, so you have lots of places to choose from.

I have a few places on lists .. these places are still open for those who worry about that sort of thing :)

Hope this helps .... enjoy Portland !

Masu was mentioned lately .. it looks like a good menu ..

Does no one here like Jake%26#39;s Famous? Man I love that place. Makin%26#39; me hungry for some brook trout.

Oregone--If you like trout, come on over. I cannot tell you how many we have! Had to smoke a couple dozen the other day just to keep them.

Jake%26#39;s has some of the best seafood in town and they change their menu daily to reflect what is fresh for the day. They also have a great happy hour but you need to get there by 3:30 to get a seat.

Andina has $1 fresh shucked oysters and a few other things for their happy hour. The food is Peruvian but beautifully presented and very good!

The chowder at Jakes in the Governor was wonderful on rainy raw winter days. I never liked Jakes Crawfish .. but a lot of people do .. big crowds on weekends..

One of the great things about restaurants in Portland was the amount of Good seafood dishes on all the menus ..

I vote for Jakes or Southpark - great fresh seafood at both places. Jakes is a little more traditional and Southpark a more trendy but very comfortable atmosphere. Southpark also has a nice bar with good happy hour menu - fresh oysters and wonderful bubbly to go with.

I was going to say the same thing, so suggest you don%26#39;t limit yourselves only to places that call themselves ';seafood'; restaurants. As for Japanese, Murata and Hiroshi are both very good, though Murata would be a bit of a hike. Sinju is pretty good too.

Trout! What%26#39;s your address again, Mtngrl?
