Sustainable seafood and wine in stylish, upbeat setting
"Blocks away from the Portland Art Museum and other downtown attractions, Southpark is committed to sustainable seafood, including fish approved by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch list. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner from a menu that includes a popular clam chowder with gnocchi and bacon, Dungeness crab roll with lobster aioli, plus spicy shrimp and grits. Start with a round of oyster shooters, or upgrade to the chilled seafood feast, complete with Dungeness crab meat, prawns, and oysters." - Ben Coleman
"This Salmon Street seafood restaurant is a common stop ahead of shows at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, where families splurge on Pacific Northwestern oysters, shellfish-loaded cioppino, or grilled swordfish. The wine list is stocked with Oregon bottles, including many that complement the main menu." - Eater Staff
"This downtown seafood restaurant works well for big, celebratory meals — wedding rehearsal dinners, graduation parties — involving chilled shellfish, cioppino, and boards of house smoked fish. The wine list covers a wide range of styles and price points, though the full beverage menu also includes cocktails, nonalcoholic mixed drinks, and Oregon-made beers. Visitors can book reservations for up to 20 people online, though larger parties can fill out this form for a quote." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Downtown’s Southpark prides itself on local, sustainable seafood, which extends to the briny Pacific Northwestern oysters included in the chilled seafood feast, nestled alongside Dungeness crab meat, salmon poke, and wild jumbo shrimp. Oysters on the half shell are also available with horseradish and mignonette, anytime or part of the happy hour for a reduced price."
"Southpark’s menu often includes various preparations of Dungeness crab – it appears on its seafood tower alongside Pacific oysters and ahi poke; it can land as a luxe upgrade for a classic Caesar; sometimes it’s spotted as a cocktail, when available. Currently, the move is to opt for the Dungeness crab roll, tossed in a lobster aioli with celery and lemon. Southpark is open for onsite dining, takeout, and delivery." - Nathan Williams
