Best Restaurants for Birthdays in South Waterfront

Attended Gracie's for Christmas Dinner. The meal had a selection of entrees and a buffet. The food was delicious, staff was very friendly, ambiance was lovely. Would return again.

Worth the wait if you have a reservation and still have to wait to be seated after 20 minutes. Once seated they cater to your every need. Food was amazing!

Jake's has a very comfortable, familial feel to it. I always feel quite at home there compared to many other restaurants. We had Christmas lunch there and one of my dining companions said the roast chicken was the best he'd ever tasted. The butterscotch pudding for dessert is so creamy and has just a hint of burned sugar to it which is a nice element. Coffee is very good.

The Chilean Seabass was excellent, along with the beet salad and the wonderful flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Our waiter was most helpful in making suggestions for my dietary issues. Sitting next to the window, even on a rainy day was beautiful. I highly recommend Portland City Grill for their outstanding service, excellent food, and of course, the view!

We went the day before Christmas Eve and it was the most amazing and memorable experience of a lifetime! We had just found out that my FIL has a very aggressive form of cancer and this was a memory none of us will ever forget. The six of us ordered about 9 HH apps and two entrees and everything was a 10/10! The food was the out of this world, our server was the most attentive we’d ever had, and the ambiance was quiet, exciting, and amazing the entire time. I highly recommend this tapas-style culinary experience of a lifetime!
