Departure Restaurant + Lounge Portland Reviews from The Last Year
I'll start with Departure's good qualities.
I really enjoyed the drink selection and the view of the city from the rooftop bar. Definitely a great spot to take photos and enjoy a beautiful view with a drink in hand. However, I was pretty disappointed with the restaurant. Although the service was quick, the food was less than satisfactory for the price I paid. Most of what you are paying for is definitely the views. The servings are not generous and the vibe of the restaurant is fairly pretentious. There are much better restaurants in town for cheaper.
Great food and great service.
We celebrated a birthday here and the staff definitely helped make it special. Friendly, attentive, and helpful. Food was really good and fresh. Innovative and creative ways of serving scrumptious foods.
Very very swanky place! Made a reservation here for an
Very very swanky place! Made a reservation here for an anniversary celebration and we were definitely in awe as we walked in. The restaurant is drop dead gorgeous. Views from there are amazing! Our table was ok - I myself am not a fan of tables right in the middle of everything. I wish I had requested a more intimate booth but not complaining much because we could see the mountains from where we were at. Wish we had a table closer to the view though. It was probably a mistake on my part for not emphasizing a more intimate table since this was for our anniversary. Now for the food. Husband rated his Departure experience a 5/5. Being omni, he had more options to choose from. He had the sashimi which he said melted in the mouth. The octopus was delectable and the trout entree was lovely from what I hear. He absolutely loved his meal and had no complaints. I being vegetarian had fewer options to choose from. I liked that for the appetizer and dim sum, there were at least two but the entree only had the one. I would request the talented folks at Departure to think of a second veggie entree if possible for the experience? The Burmese salad was everything I've ever wanted in a salad and more. It put every single salad I've had so far to shame. I could have eaten a vat of that. For the dim sum, I chose the veggie steam bun. That was a disappointment. The bun was off - the tempeh was not flavored and the pineapple did not go well with it. I wish I had got the carrots instead! Entree was obviously the squash noodles. They were just ok - the flavor was way too overpowering (exact opposite problem from the steam buns). It badly needed more fresh components and was a little too greasy. When I took a bite with the citrus, it tasted better - but this dish needs twenty percent more freshness. I rated my food a 3/5. We got some NA drinks - their mocktail menu definitely needs work! We've been to many other places with a killer NA game -so the menu is a little lacking here. Still grateful that they had some options at least. The service was okay and the timing of the dishes was fast-paced (not necessarily a bad thing). I guess I really did not enjoy having a table in the middle of everything and for that reason, I would rate the vibe 3.5/5. Considering they do ask for occasion in the reservation details, maybe reserve a slightly more intimate table when it's an anniversary/date night celebration? Again perhaps had I provided that feedback, we could have got a nicer table. Would we come here again? Perhaps on occasion. Would definitely not do the experience again since their veg dishes need work. Perhaps the regular menu has better options for vegetarians/vegans.
After a long day driving to the coast this was super
After a long day driving to the coast this was super convenient to not have to make another stop. Loved my drink and steak entree. I sat at the bar and had great service. It's definitely worth checking out. The design is beautiful and interesting. There's a good variety on the menu. Good city views in the dining area and wasn't too loud on a week night.
Departure is an affordable fine dining in downtown.
You can order a La carte or the "experience for $55" My table ordered a bunch of shareable plates while I am vegetarian I ordered the Tempeh Buns and Dan Dan Noodles. Unfortunately I was not impressed with the food I got. The noodles tasted like spicy ramen. Everyone else enjoyed the meat a la carte items which is why I would happily recommend to others! Janet was our server and she handled our table so well. I had a few rowdy guys and she was 10/10. Overall well run establishment!
First visit after remodel and looks fantastic!!! Super
First visit after remodel and looks fantastic!!! Super attentive staff and what an amazing tasting at a really reasonable price point!! Definitely visit the bar with outside rooftop access and delicious cocktails!! Highly recommended for first time visitors!! Located inside the Nines hotel with available valet service!!
I had a lovely experience dining with both Krista and Eli
I had a lovely experience dining with both Krista and Eli tonight. As a Diamond member this was an incredible evening at Departure. Looking forward to my next visit. Food was tasty but the service was phenomenal. They both are great assets to your company. Please please take care of the amazing people who have been so welcoming to a new city for me. Because of Krista and Eli, I am looking forward to continuing my partnership with the Marriott team and the amazing customer service experience.
Our son's birthday was upon us.
He had dined at Departure once previously, so suggested our family celebrate his 24th birthday there. I was curious, given the widely disparate reviews on Yelp. Well, we just returned home and were not disappointed in the least. Our party of six was well-cared for by server Jesse. We opted to order family-style from the Arrival menu, and share items. Pork belly, Wagyu beef steak buns, pork belly and kimchi fried rice, spicy tuna roll, salmon roll... all delicious, with hot tea, Kirin lager and Yo-Ho porter beers as beverages. Topped off by a decadent chocolate truffle log with a candle and birthday wishes. Cost was quite reasonable, and no one left hungry. We will be back.
I decided this was the year I'd challenge myself and try
I decided this was the year I'd challenge myself and try more new (to me) restaurants and I'm so happy I started with Departure. They're located just a few steps from Pioneer Square in the Nines hotel. I've walked by so many times and never knew there was a gem waiting to be found on the fifteenth floor. I was greeted with a warm welcoming smile at the entrance and as I was shown to my table I encountered an amazing view of downtown Portland. The city really shines at night. I started with tuna and salmon poke sushi and a 75-ish, a light sparkling lychee flavored drink. The sushi had me feeling so elated after each bite, I seriously thought of just ordering only sushi for dinner but I wanted to try an entree this visit. I ordered the lemongrass chicken katsu which had the best coconut curry I've tasted in a long time. The chicken was crisp with very tender center. Overall I was very pleased with my visit.
The open-seating bar/lounge is great.
Nice views, comfortable seating, gas fires and heaters, and decent prices on drinks. Clean and classy place. Can't believe this is like one of the only places you can go have a drink up high in a major city. Only downside is the line gets long/slow. Only one small bar counter, so don't go if you're pressed for time. Haven't been to the restaurant inside, but looks swanky. Good date/celebration spot.
Delicious and 15 floors up
This restaurant is a true gem. It offers a chic atmosphere with breathtaking views. Our waitress was not only fun but also provided fantastic suggestions. The small-plate Asian cuisine here is a culinary delight. The halibut and steak were exceptional, and the sashimi and sushi were equally delicious. The cocktails were the perfect accompaniment to our meal. For a chic and delectable dinner experience, this restaurant is a must-visit. Whether you're a fan of seafood, steak, or Asian cuisine, you're in for an unforgettable evening.
Terrific Anniversary Celebration!
Chose this spot to celebrate our anniversary based upon tasting menu and it did not disappoint. Located on the upper floor of the NINEs Hotel. We were greeted with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine and promptly escorted to a harbor-view table. Modern, yet casual, elegance is the vibe here with friendly but super-efficient service. Tasting menu options focus on Asian-fusion dishes wonderfully created and artistically presented. Depths of flavors leave you satisfied but not stuffed. We opted for the wine pairing with tasting menu. Highly recommend that if you're a wine-lover as each pairing was near perfection. Our server, Hannah, did a great job walking us through each dish and accompanying wine. She was friendly and informative with the perfect balance of attentiveness and leisurely dining time. Save room for a dessert. You can't go wrong with any selections which include sushi rolls, dim sum, tom kah, pork belly and beautiful scallops w/ prawns. This was a real treat for a pair of foodies.

Yummy food, and great service!
We went to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We did the three course meal, and left stuffed. Our waiter was awesome but seemed to have a large number of tables to take care of. I loved my stone fruit and tomato salad! Followed by the lobster tempura, and then the chicken katsu. All were very tasty!
Incredible Atmosphere and Great Food
The main reason for the several stars is the ambiance and staff. The staff is very friendly and the ambiance on the top floor of the Nines hotel is amazing. There is a patio as well as indoor dining. The Crispy Crab Roll was incredible but the Kimchi Rice, Tom Kha Soup and Cirtus Salmon Roll were above average and fresh but not incredible. I would highly recommend visiting here and getting away from anything on street level in Portland.
Nice Views & Decent Cocktails
After eating downstairs, at the Urban Farmer, I came up here to the rooftop bar in this Marriott and it’s very interesting! Very modern with great views of the city below. There’s a large bar with dining room all around it and the place was PACKED! I was able to grab a seat at the bar and enjoyed a 75’ish. It was nicely made and the visit was enjoyable. Definitely worth stopping in!

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement.

Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
