PORTLAND, Ore.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--This fall, Portland Prime will make its debut in downtown
Portland. The new addition to Portland’s lively food scene will be located at the corner of 3rd Avenue and Ash
Street, where downtown meets the burgeoning neighborhoods of Old Town and Chinatown.
Portland Prime will have 120 seats in the restaurant, 90 seats in the Prime Bar, which will feature a piano bar, and a
private dining room that will accommodate up to 40 guests. Operated by Keeler Hospitality Group, Portland Prime
will feature fresh Northwest seafood, prime steak and chops along with farm-fresh produce and specialty items
made by local artisans and purveyors. A glowing pizza oven, charcuterie station and oyster bar, vintage cocktails,
local micro-brews and barrel-to-bar wines by the glass from Oregon vintners will be hallmarks of the Portland Prime
experience. The restaurant will be open for lunch, dinner and happy hour daily as well as feature a Champagne
Sunday Brunch. A private dining room, featuring an adjacent wine cellar, will host special events and gatherings.
Portland Prime’s menu will feature Executive Chef Russell Kool’s contemporary heritage cuisine. Chef Kool will
take advantage of the best of the Pacific Northwest’s bountiful ingredients.
While restaurateurs are nervous about opening new restaurants in this economy, Paul Keeler and his team are
excited about the opportunity to exceed the escalating expectations of the Portland dining-out community as well as
the many visitors traveling to this great restaurant destination.
Adjacent to the Embassy Suites in the historic Multnomah Hotel, Portland Prime will be located in the space
previously occupied by Kincaid’s and Portland Steak and Chop House. The restaurant will remain open during a
staged renovation and be completed in October.
