Location is awesome. Rooftop is awesome. Customer service was awesome. Bathtub in my room could be cleaner. No outlets on desk nor bedside lamps, just along the wall.

Make sure to get Bishop as your server and tell him you've never been here before, even if you have. His intro is hilarious and if you order a pitcher of mimosa he will make it happen - with steez.
Brunch here is amazing. I recommend the fried chicken (aka cathead) sandwich or chicken and waffles. You won't be disappointed!
At this Peruvian restaurant's Bar Mestizo, the Nuevo Latino and classic Latin cocktails (like a top-shelf pisco sour) are accompanied every night by live jazz, Latin or swing music.

The garden opened in 2000. Most of the plants featured in the garden are indigenous to China, but no plants were brought from China due to import bans. Some plants in the garden are 100 years old.
Spectacular sushi on a whole other level from anything you've had before. Order flights of fish or any of the specialty rolls. Their tuna and salmon are to die for. But the planet need not die either!
A sculpture by Raymond Kaskey above the entrance of Michael Graves' Portland Building. It's 34ft, 10in high. If standing, she would be about 50ft tall. A plaque contains a poem by Ronald Talney.
A Portland staple. You haven't truly visited or lived in Portland until you've had a VooDoo doughnut. Personal favorite is the dirty old bastard.

Hello glorious food truck. 1 BBQ beef brisket with mozzarella, please. PS a favorite of @Dens co-founder of Foursquare
I always get it spicy with the "Secret Aardvark" sauce that they have. It complements the sandwiches well. On a different note, the crew that works there are always nice, smiling and having a fun.
Great $5 HH Burger & Kenny's fries can feed 2 or more. Outstanding dinner menu, if you can afford it.
Start your day on the patisserie side here, with Stumptown coffee and classic pastries. End it with small plates filled with game meat and perfectly paired cheeses. En savoir plus .
