I came here for my birthday, and everything was amazing! They brought out the food as soon as it was made and they were very polite. Each dish was amazing in its own way. I would recommend the chili prawns and any of the sushi. Again, amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing service. I will definitely be coming back soon!

Great food and drinks. Its often a very trendy crowd but everyone is nice. The staff is a little pretentious but being that Departure caters to the trendy crowd, it works and isn't a bad thing. Plus they're all super nice and very professional. My favorite place here is the rooftop patio. It has a marvelous view and more than enough space to move around. They have a small bar that exclusively serves the rooftop patio and the alcohol selection is plentiful. All in all, its a very nice place to visit on a warm, sunny day. Just kick back on the patio and have a few drinks.

Wow Wow, I'm hard to impress by restaurants. This was one of the most memorable experiences with my gf that I've had in a restaurant. The level of creativity is very remarkable. I can be very picky with food, since I'm not that bad of a cook which sometimes I feel like I could pull this off sort of thing with some restaurants but with Departure Hell No! After getting out of the elevator and walking through the layout. The vibe is like a spaceship, hence the name Departure and then you're lifted off, with a feeling of being seated in first class, year 2050. So neat and unique, it sets the bar high, especially the added rooftop bar and balcony, to take in Portland's downtown and skyline. I do want to say I would highly recommend the Chef's plate, but it does come with a price tag that wasn't specifically stated to us as per person but oh well. I do want to say thanks to the very exceptional staff. Try it out..

Good food, very noisy, quite expensive. If you have not been here, it is a different and interesting restaurant. All food is served to share. Food--4*, some wonderful and some just good. Atmosphere--3*, they need some softness to absorb the sound--you can barely hear your companion(s) across the table. Value--3*, servings are pretty small for the prices. Overall--4*, it is still a fun place to go.

We arrived about 8:30 no reservation. Initially told there were not any available tables. 1-2 hour wait. I think the hostess felt bad for my daughter and me, so she snuck us in. Food was excellent. We ordered shrimp skewers, beef skewers, a salad, and broccoli side dish. Wow! Highly recommend. This is a local hotspot. Not kid friendly. Table next to us was dropping f bombs. Mostly yuppie crowd. I didn't expect Portland to have this type of scene. I must not have seen the "lounge" in the title. This place is more for an after dinner drink and tapas style meal than a dinner place. They offer a gluten free menu.
