Excellent service throughout the whole meal. Very impressed by food quality and portions, as well as quick delivery. Friendly atmosphere. Staff clearly trained well and enjoy their jobs (at least pretend to darn well). Will return :) read more

Jawfish - Seafood Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great service, craft cocktails and vibe! This is a hidden gem that hasn't been there long enough to be booked solid so it was nice to get in without a wait. I'm sure that won't be the case for long. read more

My friend and I stopped for lunch on Friday, a first visit for both of us. It took a couple of minutes for someone to greet us in the lobby as we waited to be seated, but she was pleasant and welcoming once she did. She asked for our preference between a booth and a table and seated us accordingly. The tables are well-spaced, so you don't feel crammed in with other diners. The decor was unique, and they've done a beautiful job renovating the space. Decor features were spaced throughout the restaurant, both eye-catching and breaking up the large space. The restrooms were clean and spacious, with design details carried throughout. Dani was our server; she was both friendly and attentive, greeting us promptly, asking for our drink order, and whether we had any questions. We both ended up ordering the Cuban sandwich, which was served on their house loaf. The ingredients were plentiful, the bread was soft, and complimented them beautifully. (The mustard does have a dominant flavor, so depending on taste, you may ask for it on the side so that you can add as little or as much as you like.) Our beverages were refilled without running out or having to ask; we asked for to-go boxes for the rest of our sandwiches (again, quite plentiful), and she split our checks upon request. We will definitely be looking to visit again. The close proximity to the freeway, just over the Glen Jackson (I-205) bridge on Airport Way, makes this a great option for those of us on the Washington side. read more

I visited the restaurant two weeks ago and was very much impressed with the decor! The service was excellent and my server was very friendly and attentive. I had the shrimp appetizer which was excellent and had their steelhead fish and chips.I would definitely go back again! Daniel read more

Should've took pics. We ordered the fries, these were great! The ribs, was a solid 3.5. The salmon, a 2 as it was salty as heck. The pork chop, a solid 5! Juicy and tasty. The pep pizza, 1. It was all cheese, barely sauce and doughy. Not good at all. The 2 experience is a combo of the food and service, service was not good. We sat at a table top at the bar. The waitress just seemed like she was over it. No engagement, just basic service. Prolly won't comeback read more

The food is mediocre at best, the portions are really small. Nothing I would go back for. The Popcorn Kalbi Chicken was a joke, 6 little bites over some fries which isnt mentioned on the menu 1/10. The Cornbread lacked corn and was dry 0/10. The mashed potatoes were good nothing special 6/10. The porkchop was burnt on the outside and pink on the inside 4/10. The Ribeye was ok, but not for $75 6/10. The Proscuitto & Fig Pizza was a joke it has Proscuitto was only on the first bit maybe in the second bite and covered with way too much arugula, the first bite was good after you take the heaping salad off the pizza, afyer that you basically have a cheese pizza 4/10. My GF and I went for my birthday in hopes it was gonna be a good restaurant because it had some of the beaches staff and the old owners had a hand in opening the restaurant. We figured out real quick what a joke this place is. The service is disorganized and doesn't flow like Beaches st all. The ambiance is cool.The interior is decorated well but all in all it's for people who want to pay $$$ for small amounts of food that's only mediocre at best. We will definitely never go back again, It's not Beaches even though half the menu is from Beaches it's still not the same, It's basically a waste of time and money. read more

We had a group dinner on Sunday Feb 1st. The teriyaki steak bites and mushrooms were in drowned in soupy sauce , the sesame pork was crispy and tasty, the grilled/chilled shrimp was good too. I had salmon for dinner and omg I had to peel the top layer of it off due to the amount of salt on it. The veggies it came with were beyond salty as well. I peeled the top layer and ate around it so I didn't complain. Two people ordered the sirloin steak and they came out in very different cuts. Cook temperature was perfect on both but one was just plain cold. Like sitting at room temp for over 30 mins cold and rice was crunchy. The manager was great and offered alternatives and took it off the bill. We had a bottle of Chardonnay which just sat on the table without an ice bucket. Ice bucket should be a standard with any cold bottle of wine purchase. The place itself is beautifully renovated and has a lot of potential. read more

We needed a restaurant near PDX, and found Jawfish online. I liked the menu so we booked a reservation. We are so glad we did! The service was exceptional and so was the food. I was unsure which wine I wanted and the waitress quickly offered a tasting of the ones I was considering. I chose a nice dry Cabernet and bought a bottle for the table. The first dish we tried was the Clam and Muscles. The white wine, tomato chutney broth was so good I wanted to drink it. That dish alone would cause us to drive the hour to eat there again. My husband ordered the blackened Ahi and it was prepared exactly as he requested (very rare) he was very happy with it. Our grandson, who we were at PDX to see off, ordered the Rocks & Lox seafood pasta. It also was very good. We all tasted it and I will order it next time I go. Our table was visited at least three times by what I can only assume were the manager and the owner just to make sure we were happy and enjoying our experience. I told them we were there to take our grandson to dinner before he joined the navy in the morning. and they insisted on bringing him a complimentary desert. I definitely would recommend Jawfish. read more

This place has the most amazing food and their service is epic. The ambience is incredibly unique

So was so happy to see this beautiful new restaurant open up! My husband and I always do a local night away for my Xmas bday so decided to try this, We arrived and thought wow they transformed the old restaurant so amazing! Then we order... We order Korean pork and cornbread appetizers And the waitress brought out our food! Couldn't remember we ordered apps.. I mean it was 15 min earlier.. Then they brought put cornbread as cancelled the pork but wanted the corn bread... well??? You couldn't even cut it as just broke into pcs.. Then they reheat our dinners and the ribs were not cooked right! I had to literally use mi fingers to rip a rib apart and the rest was fat. We complained again after not bringing apps and manager offered to take off the cornbread and ribs.. Then you would think they have a clue? Nope got worse., Then we had to glad down manager to get the bill.. I went to car to wait for my husband to deal with.. 10 min later he had to look fit manager as she couldn't remember to bring credit card back to leave! So they ruined mi bday dinner and only had maybe 4-5 tables It was a real crap show! The couple behind us had to go to bat as no one helped them to just put order on. Oh! And after not getting apps another waiter tried to deliver another tabled food to us.. Honesty and I mean honestly the worst restaurant we have ever been to! Sad as it's beautiful and I'm sure spent a lot of money We ended up at sidelines bar down the road to eat Any questions let me know. read more

We were visiting Portland and went to Jawfish because it was across the street from the hotel. It doesn't look like much from the outside and because of the name, I assumed it was a seafood restaurant. As a vegetarian, I wasn't expecting there would be much for me to eat. What a wonderful surprise! Inside is a nice light and well decorated modern atmosphere. And there were two obvious vegetarian plates. I had the quinoa bowl. It was absolutely scrumptious. My husband had fish and chips and he was super happy with his meal. I highly recommend this place. It's worth the drive for locals and anyone staying near the airport, this is a place to go. read more

I just had lunch here with a friend. The food was excellent. The service was stellar. Our server Destiny even remembered our names which was a really nice touch. This would be a great stop for anyone heading out of PDX prior to your flight. read more

The space is very comfortable and nice. The service was mediocre since she seemed busy in an empty restaurant. The food and drinks was the worst part of our visit. My mango lemonade tasted like beer and my son's soda was flat. We got 2 appetizers the popcorn kalbi chicken and the jawfries. The garlic in the jawfries were chopped up raw garlic so you can imagine the harshness. Best meal that was purchased was a Quinoa salad and even that we're giving it a 4. read more

I was expecting something better. The pasta was a just like the butter pasta with canned salmon and mini shrimps. Not a lot of protein in the dish. read more

We had a Cuban sandwich, fish & chips, special fries, and beer. The service was top shelf; thank you Shay! I absolutely recommend this new pub! Easy parking, Airport way, chill vibe, lovely interior. They have multiple big screen TVs in the bar. We'll be back! read more

Very good food with interesting menu. Local beer and wine. Wait staff was excellent. Nice decor and bar area.

Dani is the best server. Unfortunately she had to go on break during our dinner and the other servers basically ignored us while she was gone. When she returned it all changed. It was Valentines and she made it right! This is a great place, great food, great desserts and all round atmosphere. Cannot really go wrong with this restaurant!! read more

Food was great, as were drinks, but our server Shay was the highlight of the evening! She treated us well, making sure everything was perfect; we'll definitely be back! read more

The hostess was welcoming. We sat at the bar for 10 min. Had 3 eye contacts with 2 bartenders and a lady that might be the manager because she wasn't wearing the regular uniforms but saw serving other customers and making drinks behind the bar. She was literally in front of us. We had no acknowledgment or were served. We waiting another 5 min and still had no service, so we decided to leave. We waited for 15 minutes with no service. read more

Had dinner with two others recently and it was an outstanding meal & experience! The service was excellent and the food was truly fantastic. We had several appetizers and each ordered a different main course, all very pleased with our meals. The ambiance was lovely. We'll be back! read more

we ordered food and looked at the drink menu, I opened it up and found seven ants walking around . The waitress asked if we wanted to move , I said no . Later after they served dinner , the pork chop was on a cutting board, I saw another ant so I took a picture. The manager came over , he said thank you for telling him , NOT GOING BACK ! read more

Greeted at door by a nice young gentleman. We were the first of our party to get there so he showed us to our table. Nice seating area. He brought us water til the server got there. She was very friendly and took our orders. Food came quick and was very good. I recommend the Steelhead fish and chips. Coleslaw had cranberries which I had never had in my Coleslaw and was delicious. Others had popcorn fish, taqitos, oriental salad. Everyone very satisfied with food. Server explained the chef cooking experience. The bar area was near us. It looks very nice. I think it was manager that came to check on us. We saw several parties coming in while eating. I'm sure this is going to be a great place to eat and drink the more people find out about it. We will be coming back. read more

Food was amazing! The almond roca desert is so delicious... Service was fast, food was great can't wait to go back.

Worst service we have ever had !! We waited for about 15-20 minutes for a wait staff to take our order and while the servers walked by us they never stopped to ask if we were ready to order! The staff ( male) a couple had long hair unkept and greasy Icky so we left and will not be back should be a minus star review option read more

Ambiance was nice, except they don't turn the heat on early so we wore coats all through lunch. Food, disappointing so won't go back until they've had time to change food flavors. Our waiter Sam was very good read more

We had lunch yesterday and all 3 of us were disappointed at the food. The service was excellent no complaints but the burger was tasteless and the pasta was not good. I hope they will get better with time and I wish them well read more

Head Chef Mike is doing it right. Everything we ate was great. Definitely will be back. Chowder is next level!!
