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.

Seriously, one of the best restaurant meals I’ve ever had. We shared apps, small plates, and entrees, (plus a couple desserts) and I can’t tell you what was the best dish, or even the top 2 or 3. All were wonderful. Need a complaint? The wine was so-so and the guys at the next table wore smelly cologne. But the food was imaginative, dynamic and delicious. Star anise in onion soup. A new requirement in my house!

My wife and I go every year for her birthday, which is on Christmas Day. So we visit the Ringside a few days before her birthday. It is always the most stellar experience for her. We absolutely love the service. The food is pure class, so delicious. We love the elegance of the place and the community vibe, having been open since 1944. It is her favorite gift for her birthday month.♥️😀

Salmon was out of this world. I NEVER eat salmon skin, but the way this was pan seared and then finished under broil, it left the skin delicately crispy and perfectly seasoned. Soooooo good.
