    I always make it a point to revisit this restaurant whenever I'm in Portland. This marks my third visit, and the food quality and variety have never disappointed me. While the service could be quicker, it remains courteous and attentive. Given the restaurant's popularity and the weekend crowds, it seems to be a bit understaffed. Nonetheless, the overall experience is consistently enjoyable and well worth the visit.

    The service was a little spotty. We first only got 5 oysters out of what should have been 6. The octopus was fantastic but the rest seemed overpriced for the quality.

    I've taken my grown children to Departure for special ocassions for years and I probably won't go back. The service was excellent but the food was sub par. Nothing special - kind of a bummer.

    Gorgeous view! Loved watching the sunset admiring the lovely Portland skyline. Food was innovative and so delicious! Drinks were tasty too. Our server Jesse was amazing with knowledge of the menu and suggestions to try. While we were leaving, my husband and I stumbled onto the Patio. Oh my! We will request to be seated here next time. It is open to the elements but heated and a glorious view of the city.

    Everyone was so nice and polite, I loved the experience because of the very welcoming atmosphere and staff! The food was great (I love oysters 😊) and since I celebrated my anniversary they supplied a drink to celebrate!

    The salad came out last. We had 5 items. When I asked them to slow down and bring them out -not all ay once-they told me that wasn’t possible.
