Best Waterfront Restaurants in King

Some friends got married on short notice after thirty years together so we impulsively invited them to a celebratory dinner on short notice. It was also a third guests birthday. On the drop down menu, we called it a "special occaision" but to get special attention such as what my husband and I have enjoyed for our own anniversary last month, I should have chosen anniversary or birthday. Nonetheless, the service and food were excellent. The booth for five very comfortably seated us for light conversation with a view of the river for four out of five. From time to time some other guests were rather loud, but overall, for most of our meal, the noise level was low enough to converse in inside voices. In December, Salty's offered a reward for buying gift cards. I did so and highly recommend the ease with which I redeemed the rewards for our anniversary and used a good chunk of the gift card for this evening's dinner.

I’ll Terrazzo is always wonderful. Food is delicious, service excellent, every time. I just wish I could afford to go more often. Thanks!

I have been to King Tide several time, I had some uneven dinners, but it was particularly good Saturday. Two of us had the King salmon and one of us had the scallops and we were all impressed. Salmon and scallops are easily overcooked and all were perfect. The wine by glass is good, and our servers was excellent and got us out in plenty of time to make our show at the Keller auditorium. The space in the Riverplace Hotel with views of the Willamette is lovely, and parking is convenient.

The atmosphere was nice. The view of the water was wonderful. The service was really good. And the food was spectacular! We would go back.❤️

Tonight was wonderful, My previous visit to Wildfin didn’t quite live up to expectations, but I’m delighted to share how warmly Randy, the former manager, addressed my concerns. Instead of a quick apology or a mere voucher, he truly listened, offered sincere reassurance, and promised to reinforce fair and transparent policies—exactly what I hoped to hear. He kindly invited us to return for a complimentary three-course dinner, and because I’ve always adored Wildfin’s offerings, I couldn’t resist. From the moment we arrived, everything felt wonderfully welcoming. We began with perfectly seasoned garlic prawns and clams, along with that tempting rosemary potato bread—absolutely divine. For my main course, I savored the most exquisite filet I’ve ever had, while my companion enjoyed his favorite prawn scampi, which was just as marvelous as before. We finished on a high note with their luscious coconut cream pie. Our server, Vanessa, was simply delightful—attentive, genuine, and so very kind. The new manager, Katharine, also stopped by to greet us with the loveliest, most hospitable demeanor, making us feel right at home. This experience reminded me how a restaurant’s true character shines through in how they handle a misstep. Wildfin exceeded my hopes for a comeback, reaffirming why it’s such a cherished spot. I’m truly looking forward to our next meal there!
