Departure Restaurant & Lounge

Departure Restaurant and Lounge is a celebrated rooftop dining destination perched on the 15th floor of The Nines Hotel in the heart of downtown Portland, Oregon. Offering sweeping panoramic views of the West Hills, the Willamette River bridges, and the Pearl District skyline, the venue features two open-air patio decks that bring guests close to the city horizon. Inside, a nautical-themed dining room with a distinctive smokestack-inspired wooden bar sets the stage for an inventive Pan-Asian menu divided into courses ranging from Zensai starters and Dim Sum small plates to Kushiyaki skewers grilled over Japanese charcoal and satisfying rice dishes drawing on the flavors of China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Laos. Signature cocktails and a curated drink program round out an experience that is sophisticated, cosmopolitan, and distinctly Portland.
