K8 was energetic and inquisitive regarding our visit tonight, but not in that obnoxious way. She was knowledgeable and accommodating regarding menu items and we really enjoyed her. She also had a slight side hustle being our photographer!

Incredible experience! Staff go the extra mile to make you feel welcomed and comfortable…read more Prime rib was tasty, though I thought the "medium" was slightly overcooked. One of my guests went with medium rare and that was more of what I was expecting with my "medium". The mashed potatoes are made with buttermilk and had small amounts of red peels and chunks of potatoes, both of which I liked a lot! Au jus and creamy horseradish sauce were both perfect. Another in our party had salmon and it looked great. We were celebrating my brother's 60th birthday and the manager brought him a huge banana split, on the house, which was amazing. I had the crème brûlée, which I adored, and another had the chocolate cake. We all enjoyed our dessert selections. My SIL had the espresso martini and said it was the best she'd ever had; absolutely delicious. Very comfortable place with lovely decor and I don't think there's a bad view in the place.

Five Stars -- Great Food, Great Service, and a View That's Hard to Beat!…read more Oswego Grill had us from the moment we opened the door. The hosts greeted us with genuine warmth and respect, and that level of service continued throughout the meal. Our waiter, Carson, was fantastic--helpful, polite, attentive without hovering, and always making sure everything at our table was just right. There's a fine line between attentive service and becoming part of the family. Carson walked it perfectly! Then there's the view of the Columbia River. With the sun reflecting off the waterfront, it was peaceful, calming, and good for the soul. It's hard to be in a bad mood with great food in front of you and the Columbia River as your backdrop. And speaking of the food... My son and daughter-in-law ordered the Prime Rib Sandwich, and let me clarify the word prime rib. We're not talking about a few thin slices of beef hiding somewhere inside a bun. These were serious hunks of tender, mouthwatering prime rib, cooked beautifully. This sandwich apparently believes in truth in advertising! I had the Oswego Burger, perfectly prepared and loaded with avocado, bacon, fresh tomato, lettuce, and onion. My wife chose the Chicken Sandwich and loved the fresh bun, perfectly cooked chicken, and fresh toppings. And everybody benefited from those wonderfully crispy fries. We also ventured into the appetizers--and that turned out to be a very good decision. The Almond-Crusted Brie was a first for me. Beautiful presentation, wonderful combination of flavors, and one of those dishes where the first bite makes you stop talking for a second. Wow. What a treat! Then came the Ahi Tuna Nachos. Simply incredible. They looked almost too beautiful to eat...but fortunately, we got over that quickly. Fresh, flavorful, creative, and absolutely delicious. When you combine excellent service, beautiful ambiance, a peaceful waterfront setting, impressive presentation, and food that delivers on the flavor, you have the recipe for an easy five-star review. Oswego Grill earned every one of them. We'll definitely be back. In fact, I have a feeling Oswego Grill just earned itself a permanent spot on our list whenever we're in Vancouver visiting family. Great view. Great people. Great food. And those Ahi Tuna Nachos? I'm already thinking about the next order.

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 a gay woman in PDX. 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. Daniel is homophobic, and look to see how many people of color work here? Follow up: There are several local North Portland business owners & managers that welcome me. Let me know publicly, what North Portland business you speak of Daniel? Because when you attempt to smear a local resident, fact check yourself, & back it up. Because I am welcomed into most North Portland businesses, except yours.

I had a lemon drop martini, spouse a beer, friends a martini, and a glass of wine. Calamari was tender and excellent. My burger on point! Spouse had fish and chips and it was also great. Our friends had short rib Mac and cheese and another spicy burger. Chris brought out the cake. And we offered him a piece -- he accepted for gf as he wasn't into sweets. Brought us bags for leftovers and to transport our cake leftovers. This was my second time here and we will be back. Ps great view!

When we walked in though we were pleasantly supplies with the ambiance the food also was pretty good we were happy with most of what we got, Steak David was to die for the spaghetti with meat sause did not disappoint. DO NOT get the meat martini it was GRoSS. I am a dirty gin martini with blue cheese olives girl through and through but this thing was gross. The Manhattan and Cosmo were both good. The one thing we would have given this 5 stars would have been the service. When we arrived the host was standing outside picking up chairs. He then proceeded to have a five minute conversation with another guest while we were just waiting to be seated when we finally receded we requested a different table and he seemed to bothered. Our waitresses was beyond friendly and helpful with selections BUT everything took far to long. We did ask for a rush on the spaghetti for our starving child and it came out in a flash. The drinks were verrrry slow the check was very slow. Despite the slow service, we would totally come here again

We had a fantastic experience at Waterhouse Taphouse! Dinner was great, and everything came out…read moresmoothly despite our large group. A special shoutout to our server, Robin, who handled our party of 35 people incredibly well. She was organized, attentive, and kept everything running seamlessly. Managing a group that size isn't easy, and she made it look effortless. Highly recommend both the restaurant and asking for Robin if you're dining with a big group!

Disappointed with that seafood restaurant on the Vancouver waterfront, we went looking elsewhere…read more I'm a fish & chip snob! I like beer battered halibut the best with some grease! I also like good chips & coleslaw. I found all 3 here at the Waterfront Taphouse. Yay! (Don't worry they aren't too greasy!). We went here with another couple and enjoyed the beautiful view, even though our table wasn't right next to the window. That is probably due to all the big windows and it's on the 2nd floor of its building. Our server was friendly, and our food came out quickly. Loved the fish & chips, like I indicated above. Why the 4 stars then? My husband, the only one in our party that didn't order fish & chips, didn't love his mahi mahi fish tacos. They looked beautiful but fell short on flavor. He felt they needed more seasoning-they were a little tasteless. He dumped the tiny little cup of salsa on top and asked for more, but he was still disappointed. The fish wasn't salted properly. They also came with "house made" tortilla chips. These were hard and cardboard-like. That's too bad because it's not difficult to cut tortillas and fry them up. I do it at home sometimes. They turn out great. So maybe go to a good Mexican restaurant if you have your heart set on quality tortilla chips. If you want fish & chips though, come here instead of their neighbor to the east (not mentioning any names-you know what it's called). The portions were generous-as they should be for $30. That's the only downside. A little pricey. We shared 2 silk pie slices for dessert. Very dense and dark chocolatey. Good to share-a whole piece is too rich-and I like rich! If not for the fish tacos I would give Waterfront Taphouse 5 stars.
