“ Grilled chicken was juicy and well seasoned. Salad and soup were perfect too. Prices definitely matched the quality. Staff is very nice and homey. Love the aesthetic and vibe here too. It’s nice to have a chic restaurant in the neighborhood. ”
“ This place is great . Tons of seating outside in a sunny evening . Great drinks and great service . My favorite two burgers in Portland . I hope this place catches on as it’s way better than anything in Kenton . The smash burger was pretty special with a cool spicy vibe but subtle and the regular burger had heirloom tomatoes unannounced. Also it’s affordable . ”
“ Northport is a relatively new addition to the community in the Kenton neighborhood. I’ve driven by it a few times and I really wanted to check it out, so over Labor Day weekend and we kinda wanted to go to something close, and I said let’s stop in. It was a little past noon on a Saturday and most of the other patrons were sitting outside. We chose a booth by the bar and settled in. The brunch menu has plenty of options too for every pallet and we quickly made our choices. I got the benedict and my friend got the burrito. The ingredients were high quality and the plating was perfect. For me I needed a bit of S&P but overall we both were very satisfied. The space is very well designed and it looks very fantastic so I was surprised how slow it was. Maybe it was the because of the Holiday. Go check it out ”
“ I ordered the Steak and it was juicy, perfectly cooked and the flavor was top notch! It took a while to come out, but the wait was well worth it! The meat was to the point and the mashed potatoes gave this plate a delicious touch! Seana was great! ”
“ We are visiting from Colorado and needed a good brunch spot today. We went with Northport, not knowing what to expect, and they blew us away with the food and service qualify. We got the Chilaquiles and the Benny with crab meat. Absolutely incredible food!! ”

“ It was lovely to eat the unique, creative & yummy food! I had the risotto with salmon and it was delicious. The corn chowder was also excellent. I felt like I ate not only delicious but healthy food as well. The service was excellent, and they accommodated our large party right away. I recommend it! My friend tried the salmon fish & chips and she said they were delicious and my other friend said her eggplant dish was fabulous! ”
