Salty's on the Columbia River - Restaurant Review

Renowned in the Northwest region for their fresh and vibrant seafood and unparalleled service, Salty’s Seafood Grill has won the hearts of locals and tourists alike. Salty’s firm commitment to only serving seafood as it should be served – fresh and local – ensures that visitors enjoy a consistently top-notch experience. From their selection of live Maine lobsters to their offerings of oysters and clams from local beaches, the best of Northwest seafood cuisine is for the tasting. And if “Turf” is more your style, savor any of their USDA prime aged steaks; chicken, pasta, and other specialties are also worthy choices.

Overal Rating: 9 Saucebox

Address: 214 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97205 (Map)

Saucebox

Saucebox prides itself in serving pan Asian and Pacific Island cuisine that has never been so “sexy, delicious and swanky.” Restaurant not only serves high quality, authentic, yet inventive cuisine full of flavor, and original cocktails, but also provides a club venue atmosphere. Music is as much a part of this eatery as what comes on the plates, and resident DJ, Mr. MuMu makes sure the music leaves its mark with diners, whether it’s a soft background melody or the pulsing beat of one of their dance parties!

 
 

Overal Rating: 8 Andina

Address: 1314 NW Glisan St., Portland, OR 97209 (Map)

Andina

Serving native Peruvian food in a colorful atmosphere, this restaurant has garnered a slew of accolades since they opened in 2005. The ambiance, food, and service have hardly suffered since, making this the ideal location for the adventurous diner. The cuisine, an imaginative hybrid, blends the best of traditional cooking methods with their own version of Peruvian influenced Northwest regional food. The result has been coined “Novoandina”, and people simply cannot get enough. Animated music, an earth-toned formal dining room brightly decorated in native arts and crafts, and a bar featuring devilishly delicious cocktails and an award-winning wine list are just a few of the additional perks aside from the food.
