"Located on the southern bank of the Columbia River in Northeast Portland, looking across at Vancouver over the water, the upscale Salty’s on the Columbia River has the best river views to pair with its seafood and steak menu. If the weather’s nice, the breezy outdoor dining patio overlooking the water is the place to be. But the view from the enclosed dining room, with its banks of windows, is just as good for bird- and boat-watching. If it’s a clear day, Mount Hood may even make an appearance on the horizon. The menu offers seafood from near and far, like local oysters, Dungeness crab, Maine lobster, and Alaskan rockfish. It’s hard to say when the view is best, from sunny in the morning for brunch to watching the stars come out over the Columbia at night." - Zoe Baillargeon
