Whether steamed or stir-fried, smoked or sautéed, each dish leads guests to another stage along Departure’s culinary adventure.

More from our fresh spring lineup and you’re gonna want a seat for these ones. 🌿✨
Bright flavors, fresh seafood and bold little kicks of heat. From Dungeness crab fried rice with lemongrass + lime to cucumbers slathered in scallion cilantro dressing and fresh rolls layered with citrus-cured salmon, avocado, striped bass, and all the good stuff... this menu is feeling extra in just the right way. 🍣🌶️🥢
Spring tastes really good up here. Make a reservation or just pop in!

Proof that spring in Portland was meant to be experienced from a rooftop with friends. Departure is feeling equal parts daily escape and occasion this time of year — relaxed, vibrant, and stylish from the first sip to the last course. 🌆🍸 Come settle in!

“Every dish should feel like an experience.” ✨
Chef U’ilaniku’ulei Vele is currently featuring a rotating Fish of the Month with seasonal halibut, ramps, and a clean yuzu dashi — inspired by the flavors of the Pacific Northwest and the ingredients available right now.
We’re proud to source our halibut through Cascade Organic, a purveyor deeply connected to sustainability, environmental stewardship, and generations of Oregon knowledge and tradition.
More than anything, Chef wants you - our guests - to feel welcomed the moment you walk through our doors...with every plate telling a story and every visit reminding Portland why Departure continues to stand apart. 🖤
