Cabezon
Portland's Cabezon offers "coastal cuisine with passion." Relying on local producers in the Pacific Northwest, this seafood bistro boasts a unique seasonal menu comprised of fresh and sustainable ingredients.
"The only distraction from the food are colorful glass sculptures with flowing tentacles that hang above the bar like psychedelic jellyfish," writes Freda Moon in the New York Times.
Roe
The scrumptious seafood at Roe doesn't come cheap, so be prepared for a hefty bill at night's end. Nonetheless, the fixed price menu of up to seven courses is guaranteed to win you over.
The cuisine is creative and flavorful, so even the most casual of seafood fans are likely to fall in love. Caviar, a stellar wine list and unparalleled service add to the one-of-a-kind experience at Roe.
Jake's Famous Crawfish
Jake's Famous Crawfish has been feeding the good people and visitors of Portland for well over a century, and there's a reason it's become one of the top seafood chains in America.
The seafood here is flown in daily, and popular dishes include cedar plank roasted salmon, Oregon Dungeness crab and crab-stuffed Chinook salmon. The food is complemented by a fun bar cranking out fresh, hand-shaken cocktails.
