Ride the elevator to the top floor of the boutique Nines hotel and discover this space-age restaurant/bar filled with people who look like celebrities even if they aren't. But, thankfully, despite its appearance, Departure boasts typical… Read Full Editorial
It's a transporting experience up by sarahsloane via Citysearch on 4/12/2012
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…
Eating at Departures is one of the best by sophe via Citysearch on 3/22/2012
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!!!…
Amazing View & Trendy Vibe by cityslicker007 via Citysearch on 6/8/2011
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…
Snobby waitress by NotFrom PDX via Citysearch on 2/16/2011
The place and the food was enjoyable, except for the snobby waitress, Amy. What a disappointed attitude!
So many better places in Portland by dentedhouse via Citysearch on 5/26/2010
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…
Why have a Footlong when You Can Have a Cockatail? by Leswha via Citysearch on 5/4/2010
My sisters and I went twice for happy hour on a recent PDX trip. They have an "Everything's $5.00" gig from 4-6 (ish) Great food and service. The wait stuff were adorable (fun and kind and also cute) We split 4 plates, a little too much…
Love the atmosphere! by zuzanka77 via Citysearch on 4/26/2010
Well, yes, it is pricey. But that might be a good thing, really. It keeps certain types of people away and encourages you to dress up and enjoy the evening. \r
The food was delicious, we shared each plate. The portions were small but that…
"I don't mind it" by erin314 via Citysearch on 1/17/2010
I went here for a work happy hour a few months back, and was excited by the fun atmosphere. I remember the skewers being pretty tasty. Its pretty neat that a East Coast/LA vibey place like this exists in the Portland area. I took my…
Good for the view, too pricey, food just alright by mmi79 via Citysearch on 11/5/2009
I went there for happy hour, which is the only time I would ever return, since prices are a bit better then. Food is asian inspired, "fusion", and pretty good but I've had better at other asian restaurants. Wine of the day and bubbly of…
Not Everyone is "Open Minded"... by Foodytoo via Citysearch on 10/31/2009
Felt like a gay bar... Our server went on and on about his boyfriend... I am very open minded but took business partners to dinner/night out. I figured this place would be upscale representing PDX, etc... Several in my group couldn't…
Not all it's hyped up to be but views are great by ForkInHand via Citysearch on 8/27/2009
Located inside the Nines Hotel on Morrison Street in Downtown Portland on the 15th floor, this is where those wanting to be scene flock and frequent. The implication is dress to impress - this is not a casual fine dining restaurant. Very…
Nice View - That was about it by mark humphrey via Citysearch on 8/16/2009
Was disappointed in the extremely small food portions for the price, and each meal came out for our table of four at different times. Maybe the way it is supposed to be, but just so you know what your getting. . .Kobe meatballs ordered…
Rooftop bar and modern Asian fare lure the see and be seen. by Ashley Gartland via Citysearch on 8/13/2009
The words dive bar don?t factor into the vocabulary of the polished urbanites who convene in this slick white and blond wood space fit for after-work cocktails. Large-scale wall maps and white leather captain?s chairs at the bar hint at a…
