Parking is underground - enter on the east side. Validate your ticket with your server for free parking after 4pm. But, to get the best seating in the bar area, be in the lobby at 3:30. (Elevators do not go up to 30th floor until 4 sharp) Get in the elevator at 3:59 and push '30' until it operates. The first few people up get pick of the view booths along the south side of the bar. Nice for sunsets. Don't be shy to ask about sharing the booth - it is common to do it. Restaurant faces North and East. Nice for moon rise over Mt. Hood. Happy hour is 4-6 with snacks under $6 (try the crab and avocado rolls) and you can order dinner in the bar too. We both had the delicious 'Ginger' Lemon Drop - danger-they go down too fast! and the house Chardonnay with macadamia encrusted chicken with rice (our server said they tried to rotate this off the menu for a while and had to put it back on by diner's demand) and the 10oz top sirloin steak with mashed garlic potatoes rivaled any in Portland. All were melt in your mouth good. $104 with tip. Service was gracious and welcoming. Great for that special occasion.
