    This is a great spot for a party, the atmosphere is as cool as an ice cold martini but the food can’t compare to The Empire, Portland’s best Chinese eatery.

    Consistently fantastic food and service! We love all the options Portland’s restaurants provide and visit many of them. Since we visited David’s twenty years ago, we’ve decided that is where we will go when family/friends visit because all ages and palates find something they want to eat (meatloaf, tuna sashimi, burger, sirloin, steak au poivre, garlic knots, brussle sprouts, and salads), and we can rely on the quality.
