"Facing Vancouver from its perch on the southern bank of the Columbia River in Northeast Portland, the upscale Salty’s has the best riverfront vistas to pair with its seafood and steak menu. In nice weather, the breezy outdoor dining patio overlooking the water is the place to be for oysters on the half-shell or extravagant seafood towers. But with its wall-to-wall windows, the view from the enclosed dining room is just as good for bird- and boat-watching when it’s chilly out. On clear days, Mount Hood may even make an appearance. The menu features 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
