Portland's original and unique on-the-river dining experience. Sure, you could go to Salty's or…read moresomething, but it's not the quirky, laid-back afternoon/evening you can have on The Deck, which is actually *on* the water. This is actually the first time I was at The Deck *not* with a work group (which they are also good for), so we got to try some of the better menu items. This is, of course, a place for seafood, so we got the bay shrimp cocktail (so many shrimp!) and I had the Halibut Heatwave sandwich. Both were good, as were the fries. My sweetie got the BBLT (BLT with extra bacon) which was ... two meals, really. Overall, The Deck really has the best food I've had floating from a restaurant. It's really amazing what they can produce on a houseboat, especially since they have to wheel their supplies down the same ramp you entered on. Our server was fun and really embraced the summer dining on the water spirit, with a Hawaiian shirt and matching pants, and lots of happy silly chit-chat. Pretty much all the staff were cheerful and friendly, which is my regular experience and kinda amazing when you think about how this place is only open 5 months a year. This is really what you're here for, and the ambiance of having a pint while watching the sailboats go under the 5 bridge. The food is probably 3.5 stars, but they get a 5 for service and ambiance. Some tips: Go to The Deck on a weekday, it's far less crowded. Sit on the patio if there's room and you can do it without staring into the sun (bring a hat, just in case). Parking is in the McCuddy Marina parking lot, to the *left* (right is for marina members only). Some of the "standard pub" items are lackluster (like the Caesar salad); stick to their seafood and tacos, which are much better. Also, the vegetarian/vegan options are pretty boring, unless you just want fries, which are great. Warning, though: if you are mobility-impaired, The Deck is probably not for you; the McCuddy Marina involves steep ramps and a long walk on very cluttered piers.

While we were looking at the menu waiting for the server, the hostess brought a dog bowl with water for our dog. I got the 3 piece halibut fish & chips, she got the halibut fish tacos. Both entrees were on happy hour prices. Happy Hour is 11:00am to 5:00pm every weekday. Which is great for a weekday lunch. Fish Tacos were great, my fish was good with nice breading but a little soft and mushy inside. Good flavor though. The Cole slaw was great it was sweeter than most almost tasted like it had a little honey in it. Fries were crispy. It was a beautiful day by the water, with geese swimming and boats going by. All in all a very nice lunch.

Cover change was $10 but it's was worth it. Had a great time and with a big enough floor in front of the stage, room to boogie. You can count on me coming back for more live music.

Not only is the food good and the portions are generous, but those meatballs (an add on) is where it's at! They really load up the plates, so you're definitely getting your money's worth here. Don't skip the cannolis - they're one of our favorite things on the menu you get three for each order. The drinks are straightforward, well-made and reasonably priced. No need to Sit Tite for too long, as the service here is fast! They recently expanded their outdoor patio area. Between the patio, pool table, arcade games and its relaxed atmosphere - it's an easy spot to spend a few hours with friends.

TL;DR Local bar with a dive feel but surprisingly delicious meals happy hour from 4-6 with some good deals for drafts and cocktails What to say about Sit Tite... well sit tight and find out! Anyway corny jokes aside this bar can seem mysterious from the outside but it's a great local bar with a great food menu and a pretty solid cocktail list. Being as this is my local bar it's a great place to unwind after a long day of work, or even just to stop by and say hello. The bartenders are friendly the vibes are neighborly and the drinks are flowing. They got a pool table, pinball machines, Photo Booth, patio it's one of those great hangout places (I just wish I had more friends to go there with and share a drink ) needless to say this place is great and their fried lasagna is one of the best I've ever had.

I've been here once before and I forgot about it as it lacked luster, I unfortunately won't be back again.

Forming connections & building community is part of the reason I visit places. This is not a "plug…read morefor me", as much as it is an "unplug for a local business". This is a critique, of Northport, not for their elevated cuisine or craft cocktails, & friendly staff, but rather a poor singular judgement call on behalf of manager Daniel. Northport replaced the closure of Swift & Union restaurant, that experienced financial hardships in a pandemic. Restaurants are all about "math". Push a local away, you lose future bankable dollars spent, which in my case = lots of hard earned $. Facts; I usually came in alone, sat at their counter, plugged in my AirPods & watched design shows, or researched new music for my upcoming shows. On 3 separate occasions I brought friends with me. I admired the decor of Northport, because of having 30+ years experience in the design field. Upon my first visit, I met Gabriel, who was a server, also studying architecture, which resonated with me. After a few more visits he gave me his number & friended me on IG. I also met Nikayla another server I can't say enough good things about! After talking with me, she brought me a crystal rock on my next visit to Northport.she believed stimulates creativity, I placed her gift on my fireplace mantel. . Finally in addition to meeting a talented elixir crafter Caitlin, I met an older gentleman employed there as a bartender who invited me to come down and see Lorna B. perform. . I accepted his invitation, he was off shift & I sat with him at the counter. It was nice to see Northport bringing in live music entertainment, became a new reason to come back. When Lorna took a break, I complimented her vocals & song selections that evening. I showed Lorna two photos of relevant connections on my phone, from my associations with similar jazz & blues performers, including Mel B. (Rialto's Jack London) & Donna K.)Portland's waterfront blues festival. A couple days later, I came back from celebrating Seattle Pride wearing a Pride T-shirt I, stopped by Northport....at the podium entrance I was greeted by server Nikayla. She was telling me about going hiking to Silver Falls, while having this exchange, their manager Daniel approached & informed me that "I was effectively no longer "welcome into Northport." Daniel's explanation was that the performer Lorna may have felt uneasy? Many performers get approached either for patrons that make a song request, or adding tips to their tip jar, or any relatable exchange. Many collaborations happen when stories are shared amongst fellow artists. I was taken a back, to say the least. How is this offensive? Would it be perceived differently, if I was a woman of color, chatting with her as one musician to another? Doubtful, which lends itself that this is reverse discrimination, as I am white openly gay woman in PDX. If I was given any opportunity to discuss this, with owners of Northport, I would welcome that. Many neighborhoods in Portland have seen gentrification, particularly in N & NE Portland. I cannot control how others perceive me, as I merely mentioned my connections to similar musicians such as Mel B., & Donna K., both whom I know that do jazz and blues music in Portland . my attempts to create viable connections, share my love of music in our community as mutual contributors, is all this was. In this city, when you are treated in this manner by a manager, to be made to feel you are unwelcome, be careful, because one never knows the people they know. For a relatively new Kenton business that claims to be all about hospitality, it saddens me, that one singular person, Daniel A., would treat a long time member of the Kenton community with utter contempt. Disdain? Add insult to injury Daniel claims that other staff members may have felt uneasy. Really? Like the one who gave me his phone number, or another one giving me a crystal & discussing hiking plans, or the other one who invites me back, danced with me & bought my cocktail during Lorna's performance? These facts do not add up, I was shamed & treated with a knee jerk reaction, even after I suggested we revisit this after some time has passed to be met with a harsh NO, in front of their staff member happily conversing with me right in front of him. I was mistreated & belong to 3 protected classes under Federal & State of Oregon laws. This is a prime example of how owners, (Davide & Tamara ) hire someone like Daniel & treat local talented residents poorly, that inevitably will spend their dollars elsewhere. Bottom line. Advocate for equality, & inclusion. This business will attempt to justify poor actions. Follow up: There are several local North Portland business owners & managers that welcome me. So fact check what you say Daniel, before you attempt to smear a local resident. Doesn't look good!

They had 2 screens with sports. I do subtract a star for the seats. Seats are expensive and a business needs a lot. They standardized on some industrial metal ones with no backs, stools, high and low. Even the window seats don't really have much to lean back against. Mayfly is a neighborhood spot, a block from Kenton's main street with a great neighborhood community, a large variety of drinks, to-go, and food popups. It's on the MAX light rail too.
