About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for business meals
Good for special occasions

King Tide Fish & Shell, led by Executive Chef Alexander Diestra, is a riverfront seafood restaurant and bar inspired by the laid-back fishing lodges of family vacations gone by. With sparkling waterfront views of the Willamette, a welcoming energy and a menu that ranges from no-fuss to fancy, here at King Tide we serve fresh, inventive seafood dishes with local ingredients that are uniquely Portland.

There aren't many places that command the vantage point we enjoy here at King Tide, so we like to make sure it lives up to Portland. We do that with a blend of the traditional and the non, the comfortable and the slightly twisted, the satisfying food and the swinging drink.

As we like to say, King Tide is where food & drink & people always complement each other, and everything goes with the view.

The atmosphere was very pleasing, and the food is tasty, but the portions are ridiculously small and left us feeling hungry and our wallet empty. The food is pricey for what you get on the plate. We had the scallops and the wagyu skirt steak. The scallops are very small and although tasted delicious, the meal was not worth the cost. Both meals were like eating an appetizer. On this point we left feeling very disappointed.

Food and service was great, although some things took a bit longer to come out than others. There were no allergens indicated on the menu whatsoever and there were a number of items that included nuts, etc that were not obvious in the description.

Awesome time tonight. Just moved here and looking for our local, hangout, joint. Great cocktails. Great food but the service from Francesco was the best. We had the home baked bread. Unreal. The risotto (added shrimp) was delicious. Definitely add a protein!!! My husband had the salmon. Loved it. Cocktails: The Ralph Waldo - sweeter martini, very good. But the Snowcap was the bomb!!

We had dinner here after a production at the Keller. Staff was wonderful, food was very good. The space is pretty small and feels more like a pub and the noise level is elevated. Definitely a focus on seafood with few non-seafood entrees but everyone’s meal was delicious.

My friend nor I had had a Cosmo in many years and it was on the menu so we decided to try it and it was one of the best ones I’ve ever had. Fabulous bartender. Really great waiter and service. And the food was delectable. I had the salmon my friend had the scallops. Both amazing I’ve been here many many times over many many years. Better than ever.
