Pad Thai Kitchen
We love this place and not just because we live three blocks from it.
Perhaps the best Thai food in town, though there’s so much Thai food in Portland it’s hard to say (go on, just TRY to find a Chinese restaurant outside of Chinatown or 82nd). The service is friendly and super quick, with great prices to boot.
Get the pumpkin curry.

This place is AWESOME. Real fricking thai-street-food inspired cuisine. No way you’ll ever forget a meal here.
There is probably always a wait, but they recently opened up the Whiskey Soda Lounge across the street, where you can get cocktails and appetizers while waiting for your table.
Portland City Grill (for Happy Hour)
The best view in the city. Go early (like, 4:15) for their happy hour to get a seat so you don’t have to wait and circle like vultures around a table (there’s no waiting list).
Happy Hour: Mon-Fri 4:30pm-6:30pm & 10pm-midnight, Sat 4:30-6:30pm & 10pm-1am, Sunday 4pm-11pm

The Nines Hotel
Apparently this place has the second best view compared to Portland City Grill. The Nines contains two new-ish acclaimed restaurants: Departure (asian-fusion) and Urban Farmer. We have not been here yet. Also, we’ve been warned that you’d do well to stay away on the weekend, as the place gets absurdly crowded.
