You see the bees? They don't get tired.
While worthy as a wound dressing and known in the Hindu world as one of the five elixirs of immortality, honey is better known as the sweet syrup that we use sometimes rather than sugar to sweeten our coffee or drizzle over our biscuits at breakfast. It's known to have an easily digestible 1:1 glucose to fructose ratio, similar to the fruit we eat, that allows our bodies to make quick and efficient use of its energy without fear of an upset stomach. Sounds perfect for endurance athletes, doesn't it? That's why Honey Stinger uses honey along with tapioca syrup as the carbohydrate source for these Organic Energy Chews.
Along with Honey Stinger Gels and Bars, their Organic Energy Chews offer a taste and texture for anyone, anytime you need quick energy. Since the honey is composed mostly of simple sugars like glucose and fructose, it's readily absorbed by your body and turned into energy. You won't have to wait for the digestion of complex carbs before they can be broken down into these same simple sugars and used to produce energy for your legs. So quicker metabolization and a burst of energy sooner rather than later, sounds good to us.
Honey Stinger Organic Energy Chews are available in a box of 12 packets. Each packet contains one 160 calorie serving of Chews. Honey Stinger recommends eating them every 30-45 minutes during intense exercise to maintain elevated blood sugar levels, and so that you may be able to perform at your best. Organic Energy Chews come in four delicious flavors -- Cherry Blossom, Fruit Smoothie, Orange Blossom, and Pomegranate Passion Fruit.
- Gluten-free, dairy-free and non-GMO ingredients
- Lime-Ade flavor offers 32mg of caffeine from white tea extract

I keep these in stock. I take them to work, school, and of course anywhere that I am active. They are quick and easy and way better to eat while you're being active, it doesn't end in cotton mouth.

Ride your bike and eat gummies, what could be better? Easy to open and eat on the go. They taste great and keep the energy levels topped up.

i really like these organic chews. They provide quick energy and taste great. The pink lemonade flavor is my favorite :)
These are the BOMB!

I love this energy chews. They taste great and dissolve easily in your mouth. I really like the Cola flavor the best but they are all good. The caffeine in there really helps open you waken up on the trail from the previous nights antics.
Honey Stinger Killing It!

Honestly, none better. I have used most every brand out there, and always go-to purchase is honey stinger. Flavors are great, caffinated options help on those rides where you feel like your legs are siding with the rebels and revolting against your all-ruling, overdetermined, and downright stubborn brain. Buy some, they taste good, its like candy for a bike ride.
Best fuel on the go!

Better than Clif Bloks, what I used most often before. Most chewable on the go, while climbing, while trail running. Won't stick to teeth like Sharkies. Mildest flavor of all of them, and still tasty.

One of the great things about these is that they dont make you super thirsty. So if your out working hard and find yourself needing some energy but your low on water-this is a great option. That way you can eat some and save your water or whatever your particular needs are.
Myfavorite is cherry blossom. The orange is great too.
I *like* eating these.

My favorite flavor is the fruit smoothie. They taste like grown up fruit snacks. Honey Stingers are smaller and easier to chew/dissolve than Clif Shot Bloks or Gu Chomps. I started using them for long runs, have brought them with me on day hikes, and one time when I got busy at work and didn't have snacks/lunch nearby, I ate a pouch of these. Because they are that good.
Delicious and Nutritious

I love the Honey Stinger waffles, but had never tried these until this past week. I worked them in to my training and ate them during the Xterra at Snowbasin this past weekend.
They are easy enough to open and eat while on the move and in addition to the energy boost they give, they taste great without leaving your mouth dry or you thirsty.
A great workout energy boost, something to mix up your diet between power gels.
great tasting

so bought these for my marathon that i was running didn't think that they would really help but i was surprised how much they did help me out it seemed like when i ate one i got energy to keep on going. let a bunch of people have some and they all said the same thing. i would recommend buying this if you need some energy on the go.
Truly Tasty

I love all flavors of these. Had chews from most of the brands out there, and in my opinion the honey stingers are the best all around chews. Order 'em up!
I look forward to eating them

These things are a huge motivation to even go on a run or ride just to 'earn' them! Perfect tasty sweet snack, lots of energy, and a good amount of chews in each bag. More than shot bloks or chomps. The fruit smoothie flavor is my favorite. Love all of honey stinger's products.

I got hooked on their waffles, figured these were worth a try, and was equally impressed. They taste great, there are a variety of flavors (orange's my favorite so far), they have a better consistency/texture than similar energy chews, don't get crushed like waffles, and provide a much needed energy boost.

I just reloaded on these and decided to try Cherry Blossom this time. I was worried they might taste too cough syrup-y but can happily report that's not the case.
my new fave

a friend told me these were yummy, so i tried them and agreed. they don't taste chalky or too sweet or anything. and it's not a big jolt of caffeine, either. so far, so good.

I'm one of those people that gets a little bit hungry, then gets a little bit hungrier, which rapidly degenerates into a full blown and highly dangerous state I like to call HANGRY. I take these chews along with me for bike rides and ski tours to ensure the safety and enjoyment of my fellow companions. Whenever the tummy strikes, I pop 2-3 gems and share a few. The consistency is delightful, a tad thicker than a gummy bear I would say.
They really do an excellent job to stave off HANGER.
So much more pleasant to eat than a frozen cliff bar during the winter months.
I've really liked the Pomegranate, Cherry Cola and Orange flavors. I did not enjoy the Pink Lemonade.
I chose "I've put it through the wringer" in regards to familiarity with this product, but that just sounds really strange in reference to food. EEEK.
Tasty Power

As far as taste and texture goes, nothing beats these energy chews. They give you an energy kick when you need it. My only complaint is the nutrition facts. I wish they had more calories. When I'm on a long bike ride I like a lot of calories to fuel my travel. For the long rides I'll stick with my ShotBloks, but for short rides, skiing, snowshoeing, and running, I'll use these!
Great for the trail!
Aaron Bender
Member since
These have what I consider to be the perfect gummy texture - not too chewy or sticky. They also are practically the only thing my wife will eat during a ride. They give her a burst of energy without demanding a lot of effort from her stomach. In addition, the honey flavor is nice and subtle - the limeade is my personal favorite.
Very good chews
Member since
These are very good on the go and they provide a solid amount of energy when you are tired and dont have much time.
Great Chews

I find these far more palatable and truely eatable over other chews. I liked the cliff block flavors but they stuck to my teeth too much, these have replaced those. The caffeinated ones are the bomb.
My favorite chews
Member since
Best tasting chews on the market and the profile is dialed in nicely. Pomegranate is my fav. Only issue with the chews is they should look at putting these in tubes similar to Nuun tabs. Messing with a bag of chews while riding is a pain in the rear. I know, it's not the most earth-friendly packaging option.

This is the form:
I'm 50 years old. I first surfed 4 years ago on a trip to Bali. Started with a longboard in the white water, slowly progressed to catching the odd wave before it broke.
4 years on I guess I've surfed around 50 times in total, over several trips. I didn't surf at all last year but cycled a lot, and worked out in the gym. I'm 5 foot 9 170 pounds reasonably fit and strong.
I tired of paying to rent boards so bought one last year. It's 6'6" with a reasonable volume, not super-thin or anything. I didn't get a longer boards because they are a pig to transport.
Now my problem: I'm half way through a 2-month trip to Bali and Lombok. My duck diving has come on a treat and my paddling is OK, I'm catching plenty of waves. But.... I can't stand up! I've spent hours reading on the internet and watching youtube videos. I can perform a pop up (with some difficulty) on dry land but when I'm on the water I go to pieces! I either end up with my feet very close together and try to adjust, or on one leg with my rear right knee on the board. I'm aware I'm not thinking too much about what I'm doing, my mind is filled with doing it very fast, before I hurtle down that cliff of water
I'm pretty sure I should be on a longer board but I'm a determined sod, I won't give up on this one!
Any thoughts or ideas would be really appreciated!

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - Blu-ray Disc
Director Kenneth Branagh's interpretation of Mary Shelley's classic horror novel stars Robert DeNiro as a terrifying monster created in an obsessive attempt to defeat death and stretch the limits of medicine in the early 19th century. With the use of flashback, a dying Dr. Viktor Frankenstein (Kenneth Branagh) divulges a tale of gruesome terror to a sea captain (Aidan Quinn): As a medical student, the rebellious Frankenstein elaborates on the work of a brilliant scientist (John Cleese), successfully bringing to life a "man" assembled from the body parts of corpses. Upon realizing the destructive consequences of his experiment, Dr. Frankenstein abandons the creature and attempts to return to a normal life with his medical partner, Henry (Tom Hulce), and his fiancée (and adopted sister), Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter). In the meantime, the nameless creature struggles with loneliness and rejection from society until he sets out to track down his creator in search of one of two things: a bride to keep him company or revenge. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) was produced by Francis Ford Coppola, who previously directed and produced monster-drama Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). ~ Lisa Kropiewnicki, All Movie Guide

Espetus Churrascaria - San Francisco
Online Reservations
Our dining experience at Espetus was great! The staff was wonderful, the food delicious and widely varied, and the atmosphere excellent. Would recommend to any who enjoy the Brazilian dining experience, or want to give it a try.
Our party of three was met by a charming host (owner?) and instructed on what to expect of the roaming servers, and not to fill up on the salad bar. We tried each meat dish offered, and raved about nearly every one. We ate and ate and ate because it all tasted wonderful and even though we left very full and very happy. I'm recommending it to everyone I know.
My kids and hubby are carnivores! I am not... So this seemed like the perfect place to spend their 18th birthday dinner! We were late, due to bridge traffic, but a quick call to let them know and our table was saved! That was very appreciated on our end. Everyone was thrilled with the good food and all of the choices! Definitely on the list to go again. Thank you!
After visiting the buffet area where great vegetables, appetizers, salads, etc. are provided, you will be confronted with a succession of skewered meats which are attractively presented. Pacing yourself is the key to having a great dining experience at Espetus. The very high quality meats were cooked to perfection (medium rare for beef) and were tasty, moist, tender and thoroughly satisfying. If you see somethig that was exceptionally pleasing, you'll find yourself quickly spinning the provided wheel to "yes" in time to have another round. Eat early in the evening to allow time to digest it all. You'll remember each and every skewered meat, it's taste, and it's unique pleasure. Now how many restaurants can you recall that way!
We were positively surprised by the very good food. The service was great. The price is quite high but it is definitely worth it.
My husband and I visited Espertus Churrascaria for the first time. We had been to other brazillian-style restaurants before so the style was no surprise and Espertus didn't disappoint. The salad bar was just enough of a selection, not overwhelming and the meat selections were excellent and tasty. We will definately be back!
I really enjoyed my dining experience at Espetus. I had never been anywhere that allowed you to eat as much as you like with this level of service. The quality of the food was excellent and all of the fruits, vegetables and salads tasted fresh. Also the ambience was classy yet I was comfortable although I dressed casually. I would definitely recommend Espetus to friends for special occasions.
We had dinner after the theater. Very nice dinner. We couldn't begin to try it all. We will be back next to.e we are in the city. I want to try more!
I've dined here 3 times -- always on a special occassion, since I don't like to OVEREAT often. But if you are going to pig out, it might as well happen as the best Brazilian steakhouse ever! The FLANK STEAK, the pork tenderloin....show stoppers! The chicken wrapped in bacon, and on and on. Great service. Good wine list. Just add good company and a few $$$! Well worth it. TIP: pace your self! I've always needed 3 hours to enjoy dinner at a relaxed pace. IF you are a carnivore, avoid the buffet station of side dishes. IF you are a vegetarian, you can come too, since the buffet station alone is enough to keep you happy and FULL. I'd highly recommend this restaurant.
I went in expecting alot but it didn't live up to my own hype, I've had better Brazilian food elsewhere but it's definitively worth trying at least once if you haven't before.
Awesome spot for romance or showing off. Either one works. I'll be eating here at least every other month.
This is a great dining experience for protein foodies. The varied meats brought to your table are excellent. You get to choose what you want and it is sliced for you. The choices are many and varied from flank steak to filet mignon. Pork and chicken are also served. Don't fill up on the outstanding salad bar. Wine list is large and reasonably priced. Try it; you will love it.
As great as this place is, it always seems to get better! I have dined here several times, and always had an excellent experience!Food is incredibly good (if you're a big meat eater, which I am) and the servers are all efficient, professional, and personable! Highly recommended!
The food was excellent and plentiful. The salad bar has enough food for a full meal; I could've just feasted on the paella alone and been happy. Nearly all the cuts of meat were very well cooked, the exceptions being the pork dishes which were a little dry for my tastes. Stil very flavourful, just a little overcooked. Service was excellent, the waiters are all very friendly. Would definitely recommend this place
That pretty much says it all. The meat served up on skewers is tasty, remarkably well prepared for food being paraded around the room. The salad bar is tempting, but don't fill up as the parade of roasted meats is really tempting. Don't take vegetarians here. That would be just cruel.
A night at this restaurant will leave you more than satisfied. Great variety of juicy meats, an enormous salad bar, yummy deserts and outstanding cocktails! The staff was genuinely friendly and very attentive. I definitely wish this restaurant was in my city Göteborg, Sweden.
The most amazing food! This is a Brazillian style steak house, so no menus but the waiters come by with various offerings (beef, chicken, lamb etc.) which you are free to sample or decline, and as well there is a full salad/side bar. The food was outstanding! So many lovely choices, each better than the last. I recommend you pace yourself as it is easy to fill up before trying everything. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we were never neglected. The price is high so we weren't able to return each night - but we would have if we could have. I would absolutely visit again. I would rate it as kid-friendly as my family very much enjoys meat, but a vegetarian family (or kids who prefer carbs) might have liked it a bit less.
Overall my wife and I were very impressed, the food was excellent, the service was top notch and the atmosphere was great. Am very glad we found this spot for our dinner while in San Francisco. Would gladly recommend to others and will visit again the next time I am in town
LOVED all the BBQ meats - was worried as I had some friend who didn't have good luck there (overcooked dry cuts) but everything we had was amazing. Perfectly medium rare for most and a couple of mediums. The salad bar didn't look att that exciting about so I really just focused on what mattered.
Came for lunch when they have a more limited meat selection, but it was still very good. I especially liked the beef tenderloin in red wine marinade. Great selection of salad, sides and other specials at the buffet.
While in San Francisco a friend, his wife and I went there for one of our "Carnivour Delight" dinners. The food, service and the staff's lovely attitude made it a very relaxed and enjoyable evening. The South American "love of life" attitude comes shining through. Great quality, fair price in a nice yet unpretentious atmosphere.
The food was amazing! I think our server could have been better :( it was our 24th wedding anniversary and he was slightly rude. However the food more than made up for it.
Brazilians need to ensure they have a legit source of Brazilian food and my son, who just moved to SanFran. The salad bar was somewhat small vs, what we were used to, but the quality of the meat and the caipirinha were excellent. The service was friendly and prompt with the exception of the reception, who made us wait at the bar until my son arrived to sit us, despite the fact that they had more than 10 tables empty at that time. This would not be so bad if the bar had any chairs, but we were standing and in the way of the waiters; a ridiculous house rule that annoyed me to the point we almost left. Net net, a good option for the eventual Brazilian BBQ fix!
The selection of meat was great and so was the service.
I had heard nothing but good things about Espetus, so I was looking forward to our lunch. There were 8 seasoned diners in our group and we all thoroughly enjoyed our food and the dining experience. Although I'm not a big meat-eater, the meat was tender and well-seasoned. The salad bar and sides were simple, but flavorful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Went for 1st time last week and loved everything, the variety is amazing, great food, great service, great ambiance!
We took a family group for dinner, and everyone loved it. We all agreed that we could have filled up on the delicious selections at the salad bar, which was so, so much more than a salad bar, but we we glad we didn't. The grilled meats were wonderful and varied and came to the table continuously. We had to stop things several times just to have a few moments to eat what was already on our plates. Service was flawless, too. And the bar service was excellent, too. This is a can't miss.
I enjoyed dining here. Very friendly staff and the food kept coming. If you are a Meat Eater, this place is ideal.
Love this place. The employees are terrific and the food is exceptional....
I hv been here for dinner many times. It was my first time to have lunch here. They have less variety of meat at lunch (I remember they said 15 for lunch and 26 for dinner Sth like that). However, compare to the price (lunch $26 dinner $56), it's a very good value and worth to try their lunch. Quality is the same ;)
This is my second time going to Espetus and this time, it was to celebrate my brother's birthday. This was his first time at a Churrascaria and he enjoyed the experience immensely! The food was excellent as was the service. It had been a few years since I had been to Espetus and I had almost forgotten how much flavor the various meats they served have. Everything we tried was full of flavor and very tender. Even the pineapple they served was excellent and very, very juicy. I highly recommend Espetus for small groups celebrating a special occasion.
Food was delicious. Recommended dfor special occasion because it is a little pricey.
Introduced a group of co-workers to this style of dining. Had a party of 6 and absoutely enjoyed ourselves. Service was attentive, food was delicious!
Took a client and everyone was highly impressed and enjoyed themselves. Great compliments.
This wasn't our first time there, but once again we were impressed with a food, service and the atmosphere.
Took my mother for her birthday lunch at Espetus, along with my sister and dad. Mom enjoyed the salad bar and along with the food that was served on skewers My sister and dad enjoyed it as well.
A place to recommend for any special celebration. Great service, tasty food, good selection of wines and desserts, vibrant environment. Prices on the high side which would prevent many customers from being "habitués" of this restaurant.
I have been here more than a few times, and I never leave disappointed. Maybe a few pounds heavier but well satisfied. The service is always great with friendly hosts and servers. Food is always fresh and delicious. I went for the first time during lunch, and it was a little less busy than it usually is, but I still loved it! I would definitely come back here.
Loved "Espetus" for the over the top service, cuisine and variety. We will return for more!
The food was so good I didn't get a chance to Instagram any photos cause I was so excited to see what was coming next. Can't wait to go again !
One more time we were very pleased w service, food and the whole experience at Espetus! Thank you!!
Really amazing meat options, a buffet that comes to you. The flank steak may have been my favorite, but that makes it a 9 amongst 7's and 8's. Just really delicious.
Good stop in the Civic Center to fill up before the performance.
The food selection was excellent and for a churrascaria I found the price average and well worth the experience. I was most satisfied with the service and the excellent attention to detail and to the request that I had made for my boyfriends birthday. I had no idea that leaving a note under "additional request" for the reservation would actually amount to anything, but we were both tremendously surprised at the end of the meal with a chorus of waiters singing happy birthday in portuguese! It was the highlight of the whole experience! Thank you so much for such a wonderful surprise and a delightful dinner. Will definitely recommend to my friends.
I took my boyfriend here on his birthday. It was a great experience considering he is a meat lover. He kept commenting on how well done the meat is cooked. I was very happy with the salad bar since I need something more than just meat. The waiters were very attentive and helpful. They also brought him ice cream and a candle because it was his birthday. I really recommend taking your beloved ones to this place if they are meat lovers.
The side items are unbelievably good, but the 12 choices of meat that continuously come to your table are phenomenal. It's a buffet so its all you can eat. The grilled pineapple is fantastic. Absolutely the best food I've ever had.
We had a good experience and great service. However, way over priced. This is definately a restaurant for all you can eat type person. We had a good experience and happy we tried it but would not go back. I would rather go to a steak house and order a $40 dollar nice piece of steak and enjoy it how I like it cooked and hot and ready. The meat here did get cold. Also the food was soooo salty, It took me 2 days to feel hydrated again.
Food was just as fabulous as I remembered when I was there 3 years ago. The meat is so tasty & tender. The strip steak & lamb was delicious. Be sure to come hungry & walk away stuffed! Hostess greeted us & found our reservation after a bit of trouble locating it in her computer. We were immediately seated even though we arrived early. The waiter & food servers were pleasant & fun. Two food servers were memorable. First, the meat server was asked for a small piece and being funny, he cut a very small sliver of a slice, it got us laughing! Then second server w/ the pineapple we flagged him down before he left our room to get a second slice. Upon his second round to our room he stopped at our table even though we had our sign turned to "no."
They have an excellent salad and appetizer buffet (as well as hot foods too) to start, then waiters walk around with skewers of all kinds of meat, chicken and even roasted pineapple. The meats were very good, but generally too well done -- a little dry. They were very accommodating, however, when I said something - and brought one beef around that was rare. Desserts were delicious. I would give it a little better than 4 stars.

Portland City Grill
Online Reservations
I came here for the weekend with my.friends. Their realtor recommended this restaurant . We were all excited to.get a reservation. We had to wait another hour to get window seating. It was worth the wait. We got to hang out at the bar and listen to the guy at the piano bar. He was excellent and very entertaining. Everyone seemed so friendly. Then when we were seated, absolutely amazing view of Portland.The food was also scrumptious.
They have outstanding service, with a view too match. the food is a culinary delight. The menu is very difficult to choose from, because all of the wonderful choices. In the many year of dinning there, they haven't changed much but the thing they have have only made it better . I have found that each item is absolutely delicious. I would like Some of the Seafood Items back though.
Went for their new Sunday Brunch. Everything was well prepared and tasted great. The wait staff was very friendly. In comparison to other brunches in Portland, the cost at $39 was very reasonable. The view is of course beautiful from the 30th floor. We look forward to returning on our next visit to Portland.
We were disappointed with our steaks, however the scallops were excellent.
A wonderful place to spend the afternoon eating small items, having drinks, chatting and feeling spoiled. A great view, great service, clean and inviting atmosphere. Could spend hours there.
Great food, great wine, great view, great service...a delightful experience!
My experience at PDX grill was really good. I thought I would have to wait a long time to get a table, but I was immediately seated even though I was thirty minutes earlier than my reservation. Food was fantastic, I literally had tears of joy. Food was pricey, but well worth it. View was excellent (got a window seat!). It was a bit too noisy for my liking, and some of the tables are crowded together. However, other than that, one of the best restaurants in Portland.
The food was delicious, I had the pork chop which was grilled to perfection, charred on the outside and juicy inside. I am gluten sensitive and the waiter suggested great substitutions for the mac n cheese that came with the entree. The waiter was very knowledgeable; his drink, appetizer and dessert recommendations were spot on. And let's not forget the views of downtown Portland and the river. The restaurant's low lighting allowed for the perfect viewing of downtown lights. We asked for a window table and was pleased to snag the last one. For a Tuesday night, the restaurant was busy, mostly business dining I guess, so make reservations if you want to dine here. On my next visit Portland, I will be back to this restaurant.
Decided my sister needed a really nice evening out, including a great dinner in a lovely location for her birthday. City Grill fits every component. We were seated immediately, and the staff had littered the table with Happy Birthday confetti and a card, and then brought her dessert when we finished our awesome meals. For any special occasion, or if you are just meeting friends in the bar for a drink and conversation, choose Portland City Grill - they have never disappointed!
Great view and food. Window tables on first come basis so hard to get but upper booths with decent view.
Nearly two years ago, our daughter had given us a $100.00 gift card for dinner at Portland City Grill to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. She discovered the restaurant when her fiance brought her there to celebrate the evening after he proposed (she did say yes, and he had come to us privately to ask permission!). We live in Astoria and both had hectic work schedules at that time, making it difficult to plan a night out in the "big city". We were finally able to use our gift last weekend. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had the pork loin and it was one of the best meals I have ever had. My husband's rib-eye was prepared perfectly. The fresh bread was amazing. It was one of our most enjoyable dinners out we have ever had.
Beautiful view and perfect for an Anniversary Dinner! I told the restaurant that it was my anniversary and when we were seated there was a card from the restaurant and celebration confetti on the table.
From the time walking in to the time walking out, the experience was fabulous. Great food. Great service from Ellie. We recommend PCG!
This place is amazing. Amazing menu, food is spectacular, and the view was gorgeous.
Quality of food and service are consistent. Always a place to go for a special occasion.
Exceptional service, imaginative menu, notable wine list, very good food, extraordinary view of Portland from thirty floors up.
View was beautiful! Food was terrific, the service was flawless! We were celebrating 2 birthdays so the extra touch of recognizing them with a "happy birthday" on the table was very much appreciated! Everything about our meal was good, we recommend this. Definitely come early and request a window table for the incredible view!
The food was amazing, the view was outstanding. They are well staffed to make it so you're very well attended. The only reason i gave service a "very good" and not outstanding is our waitress could've been just slightly more attentive. Definitely recommend going when you can see downtown Portland lit up in all its glory.
We chose to wait in the bar for about a half hour after our reservation time to score a window table in the restaurant. Great choice on our part, the view can't be beat and it was a perfectly clear night. We shared a few Happy Hour appetizers that we'd ordered just before leaving the bar (good timing!) and then ordered the cheesecake and a Creme' Brulee for dessert. Very good and not teeny-tiny. My husband's drink (a Pendleton Whiskey, honey and lemon concoction) was fabulous. Service was great, view fabulous, food fantastic. A great date night for someone looking for a special experience. We'll be back!
Very nice night out. food was delicious, although expensive for people like us!
This new Brunch at Portland City Grill is great. It is a little pricey but excellent food and a great way to celebrate a special occasion.
I brought my wife to pcg for date night Sunday evening and had a great experience. Recommend the kung Pao kalamari and rib eye steak. Both cooked to perfection! Awesome view as well.
The brunch was a great compliment to exceptional view that you enjoy when dining a City Grill. The staff was very attentive and personable. The fresh fruits and salads could warrant some attention as they were a bit "green" and harvested before they were ripe. The meat selections were plentiful and tasty. It was a treat to be able to order other items not on the buffet from the menu. The omelette bar was very good and the attendant was precise in preparing your order. The price point may limit my visits to very special occasions.
The dinner was a joyous occasion. The meats were microwaved to perfection, the bread was as plentiful a mother's bosom, and the happy-hour drinks flowed like the waters of Lake Minnetonka. We will feast again.
Very personable staff. Great food, beautiful views.
Great food and great service our waiter was awesome and made our night very fun and special. Love the scenic view - makes for a very romantic evening and occasion.
This place is incredible and should be on anyone's list of places to eat in Portland. The ambience and view of the city is absolutely incredible. Feels like a movie set. But the food is lovely as well. Seafood and steaks are the specialty here. On my last visit, everything we had was delicious from the shrimp and crab roll, the caesar salad, the crabcakes, and the short ribs. We will definitely be back! Great place to bring visitors and out of town guests.
We had some guest from out of town and this was a perfect location to share the wonderful food and view of Portland. We were able to get a seat near the window and our guest was mesmerized by the scenic view of the city. The staff at the restaurant was very friendly and helpful . Our server, Chris was helpful and sufficiently attentive to let us have our privacy. He was very helpful with the wine recommendations. Meal was wonderful - we had two shared plates and each of us had an entree. We had the seafood selection and it was delectable. The yellowfin tuna sashimi and crab cakes was delicious. However, please note that these are seasonal dishes. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
We were at the Portland City Grill for Thanksgiving with our daughters and son-in-law. The dinner was very good, but the lighting was so dark we had to use our cell phone flash lights to read the menu.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at the Portland City Grill. Everything was perfect!
We had an absolute wonderful Thanksgiving at the Portland City Grill. The seating was great and the mood of the place is so very nice. We had a perfect evening! Thank you.
I love going to the PCG. The past 2 Thanksgivings have been just superb. The wait staff is by far the best and the food, consistently fantastic. My only complaint is that they no longer have the German Chocolate Cake which was the bomb!
Would recommend this to anyone who needs a place for any occasion, whether someone is in town, a date, birthday, etc... Amazing food, great ambiance and excellent service. It is dark at night and the lighting is somewhat sparse, so if you're having trouble seeing just ask your waiter to help adjust one of the lights. Our waiter didn't hesitate to assure our experience was great.
We dined in the main dining room, but they had the option to dine on the buffet (with special lay out for thanksgiving. We did not order the traditional fare, but the food did not disappoint. Got a special side to make it more like thanksgiving when one of us got rice instead of mashed potatoes - thanks to our server who felt the same. Great touch to make us feel special. To even top it off - they gave us a gift certificate to use after the new year! Sweet bonus!
Went to Portland City Grill for Thanksgiving dinner. This was the first time in years that we didn't cook a meal and so I didn't have high expectations for the Thanksgiving meal. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, from our server Ben who picked up on my lactose avoidance (without prompting he brought me a dairy-free dressing for my salad), to the quality and taste of the turkey dinner. And of course, don't forget the fantastic views from this restaurant.
Just the two of us and my 82 yr old mother in law this year. We'd never been to a restaurant for Thanksgiving and wanted it to be a special dinner and thought the City Grill would be ideal. I had left a comment when making the reservation, requesting a table with a pretty view. No guarantees is what I had read, but, we were very pleased. It was a beautiful day, beautiful view and really, the turkey dinner was really, really delicious. We reminisced, laughed a lot and enjoyed a lovely meal. Thanks to all at the City Grill.
First time dining at this restaurant at the top of the tower. Made reservations online, with a note about a birthday celebration. Arrived, we were seated within moments at a table with an amazing view of the city. Also the table was decorated for the birthday. Our waiter was prompt and polite, very knowledgeable of the menu. We ordered a crispy shrimp and crab roll to start and for the entrée had the halibut stuffed with crab. Both were excellent, the main course was absolutely to die for. I had a berry mimosa and it was super delish. And to top it all off when I couldn't order a dessert because of my nut allergy our waiter brought us a chocolate bundt cake with caramel sauce for my birthday. Overall an amazing experience worth every penny!
I recently took my girlfriend here for our anniversary. I was blown away by the staffs attention to detail, the food presentation, and quality of dining experience. At the end of the night our waiter even brought over a free desert, which was completely unexpected. I will be coming back soon.
This was my first time to your restaurant and I'm wondering now why I waited so long! The atmosphere, food, staff and entire experience was wonderful and very memorable. Thank you!
We have returned again and was not disappointed that we came!!! great food !!! service was outstanding we will come again!!!
Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a fluke the first time we ate here. It wasn't! Great steak great service an amazing view and the best crab cakes on the planet! We will be back!
My friend and I celebrated her birthday at Portland City Grill last week. I selected this restaurant because of the fantastic view, but also the quality food. Our server was so gracious and helpful. The promotion of any glass of wine for $5.00 was a bonus! We enjoyed a wonderful lunch with fabulous surroundings.
The restaurant was absolutely fantastic! In comparison to other restaurants in Portland, this one was vibrant, gorgeous, and had amazing food. My family and I attended this restaurant for my birthday, and reservations were definitely stringent. Having booked a reservation, finding the location was a little tricky considering the location is on the 30th floor. After finding the location, my family and I were absolutely stunned by the scenic view. Definitely a place to go for a special occasion, or an anniversary.
It's a place you can go and count on a reasonable experience. It's not always perfect, but it's pretty darn good. I'm there all the time because I work in the building. I might rate it even highter, but there's often something that brings it down a notch. This time, after making lunch reservations a week in advance the hostes tried to seat me and my guests at the entrance to the kitchen. Had I been a walk-in, with no reservation, I might have expected it.
When you make your reservation, do ask for a window seat. The view of Portland is just about as good as it gets downtown. The food is great, just know that you will need to wait for a little while as it is not a chain-like restaurant. They make quality food and that takes time.
I started a tradition several years ago by taking my wife to a different special resturant on her birthday, one we've never been to, and keep it a surprise until we get there. The Portland Grill was this year's choice. We had great service (thank you Jason!) and a wonderful meal. The view was terrific. The table was decorated and a birthday card awaited her signed by the managers. All in all a memorable evening. I highly recommend The Portland Grill. We will be going back.
You have to ask / plan ahead if you wish a window seat.
Great service. Great foods. Great view. Great ambien!
Absolutely outstanding experience!! The food was exceptional as was the service. Really can't be beat. We'll be back.
Fantastic food with great Processco! Portland City Grill never disappoints! Service is phenomenal!

STOP Common Core!
In the dark of night our educational system is being handed over to the federal government! Please help return the power back to the states, local educators, and parents!
• What was once a job of the states and local ISDs is now being handed over to the federal government. Nationalized Education is against the law!
• Efforts are being made to level the playing field. Many schools will have to dumb down their standards to align with everyone else.
• Our children will be used as guinea pigs for data mining. The government aims to collect data on your child and then follow them from pre-k to the workforce. The information we once revered as private will be no more.
• Subjects like math have been reinvented and are now ridiculous and confusing.
• Our children will be taught globalism and socialism rather than what it means to be an American. History is being rewritten.
• Standardized testing is being rewritten to align with Common Core. This will affect private and homeschooled children.
• No one truly knows the cost to implement this change.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Ireland will go into the competition with optimism following impressive victories over Fiji and Argentina this autumn and Kidney believes the current crop will be a match for anyone.
"With any young, evolving team, there'll be other bumps along the way," he told the Irish Sun.
"But they're showing potential, that they have potential to win things, to win competitions.
"But for that you have to put together back to back wins and performances, and that's the challenge for the group to do that.
"We're capable of playing well, but we know we can be our own worst enemies. At Test level it's unforgiving, at provincial level you can make mistakes and sometimes there's space to make up for it.
"But in a five-game competition there's very little space.
"Ireland are good enough to take on anybody, but we're not good enough to roll up and have any match taken for granted."

Bacon and eggs. Motherhood and apple pie. Block and tackle.
Image memes and Impact.
Yes, like those other great combinations, there's something about a photo of Grumpy Cat complemented by a caption in the forceful sans-serif font that -- to borrow from Steve Jobs, who most assuredly was not talking about the subject -- just works.
Oh, you know what I'm talking about. Every time you open Facebook, every time you check Tumblr, there they are: photos of newsmakers and animals, Willy Wonka and Buzz Lightyear, accompanied by a few sardonic words in glorious, white-on-black, lightly bordered Impact.
Well, why Impact? Why not Arial or Copperplate or Futura? How did this particular typeface become the default?
Part of it is simple convenience, says Anthony Rotolo, a professor at Syracuse University who studies social media.
Impact, which was initially created in 1965, was one of the fonts included in early Microsoft Windows operating systems. In those kludgy 1990s days, Microsoft only included a relative handful of typefaces, and Impact was "the big, bold font people had, by default, in their Windows computers," says Rotolo.
Given the dominance of Windows systems and the freeware Microsoft included -- MS Paint and the like -- it was a typeface shared by millions of Windows users at a time Windows had more than 90 percent of the PC market.
Moreover, adds design consultant Sam Berlow of the Boston-based Font Bureau, it was "Web-safe," compatible across the then-young World Wide Web. Microsoft had a set of "core fonts," which also included Georgia, Times New Roman and the much-derided Comic Sans, which would look similar regardless of the computer you were using. All of these details led to Impact's widespread use.
Boosting Impact
It wasn't long before image macros -- the graphic jokes initially passed around on bulletin boards or on email -- started incorporating Impact.
Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka, founder of the SomethingAwful.com humor site, which KnowYourMeme.com credits for coining the term "image macro," remembers a distinct progression to the current look.
"Originally, people would just post images and then, in the forums, type the text beneath it (usually because they didn't have Photoshop)," he says via email. "After more and more people started obtaining Photoshop is when the image macros really began."
That was in 2000. Initially, image macro creators used Arial or Comic Sans ("usually to insult another poster directly," says Kyanka) but at some point Impact came into play.
"I believe the first time the font face changed to Impact was when somebody posted an image of a very obese black woman wearing a spandex superhero outfit, and the text just said 'DAAAAMN.' After that, everybody seemed to use Impact," says Kyanka.
Fast-forward to 2007. Software developer Eric Nakagawa was having a bad day and put out a request for funny photos. In response, a friend sent him a picture of a goofy cat from a Russian cat food commercial that had been making the rounds since at least 2003. The caption, in Impact, read, "I can has cheezburger?"
That photo started the I Can Has Cheezburger empire -- and probably helped cement the usage of Impact, says Nakagawa, who has since moved on to other projects as an adviser. (Ben Huh now owns Cheezburger.)
"When I did Cheezburger, I'm sure we helped Impact's case," he says.
It wasn't just the sheer popularity of that single meme, he says, though that didn't hurt. It was also by showing what didn't work.
Nakagawa mentions that he followed ICanHasCheezburger.com with IHasAHotdog.com, intended to be the dog version of the cat-centric Cheezburger. IHasAHotdog initially used a wider font -- and wasn't as successful. (Of course, it also could have been the dogs.) On the other hand, FAILBlog, devoted to images of poor signage and general obliviousness, routinely used the word "FAIL" in all-caps Impact -- and worked.
