The Wok Fired Pole Beans are a must have! It also went well with thw Dooboo Rolls. The sauce of the beans is everything and is a must experience for all. The drinks were also delicious and the views while eating were breathtaking.
We headed out to the rooftop bar in a sunny Saturday afternoon, hoping for some good conversation, yummy appetizers and delicious cocktails. Departure provided a comfortable atmosphere for us to talk, the service was excellent and all of the appetizers were excellent. I especially enjoyed the edamame. Grilled to perfection and judiciously salted, it was hard to stop eating them. I’ve had edamame served cold , never warm. Departure showed that warm edamame is a better option...read full review
Sushi was just okay - wasabi was the fake horseradish stuff not real wasabi - I think the value of the food is the worst part it's very pricey for the quality. Sat at the bar and the service was excellent.

Departure Restaurant + Lounge in Portland offers a Miami Beach feel with excellent food and beverage selections. The 3-course prix-fixe, cocktails, and dessert were impressive, and the space is light, airy, and fun. The atmosphere is classy and chill, creating a lively and enjoyable experience. The rooftop bar provides a beautiful view of Portland, with fire heaters for colder days, though the menu can be pricey with limited options. Guests have praised the food as delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented, with standout dishes like the crab sushi (crab hosomaki), avocado chumaki, salmon uramaki, and wings. The overall experience is enhanced by the great view and welcoming atmosphere, making it a popular spot for those looking to enjoy good food and drinks in a vibrant setting. The restaurant has a relaxed, fun vibe and is perfect for celebrations or special occasions, with excellent service from staff like Jesse and Nina. The patio seating is quiet and perfect for groups, and the food is inventive and flavorful. However, some menu items like the noodle salad were not up to par, and the service can sometimes be inexperienced. It is not very wheelchair accessible, and the menu can be on the spendy side, especially for nonprofit visitors, but many find it worth it for the experience. For larger groups, the service is noted to be great, especially with fixed menus, but planning for extra time is recommended.
