Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in South Waterfront

The chicken liver pate on the Rot Meat Plate is the best!

We were seated downstairs where there was hardly anyone. It was nice. Quiet and easy to hear the conversation.

Wonderful location for a special celebration. Food was creative with a wonderful story line that enhanced the experience. Beverage service was exemplary - recommend the pairing for sure. Loved being able to watch the preparation and the care the team took in presentation.

We celebratedour wedding anniversary with an outstanding dinner last night. The food is always excellent and the service is seamless and professional. We were delighted to have Jill as our server—she was a longtime favorite from Vista Springs and she greeted us cheerfully and was an excellent server. Our corner table seemed quite dark and my husband asked if we could possibly have some candles, and within minutes 2 tealight candles were brought to the table—it made a big difference in the ambiance and we really appreciated the responsiveness. Higgins has been a favorite of ours for 25 years and it has continued to be our first choice for our anniversaries and other special occasions over the years.

Stanford's is one of my favorite Portland restaurants. They have a great menu with lots of choices, and the food is always delicious. The service has always been great as well. Whether going out for a nice dinner or dropping in at Happy Hour, going to Stanford's has always been an enjoyable experience.
