THE FLOATING NEWPORT SEAFOOD GRILL IS FOR SALE IN PORTLAND OREGON

The floating former restaurant known as the NEWPORT SEAFOOD GRILL has been floating abandoned out in the Willamette River like a HORSE WITH NO NAME (don't make me sing it). It is now back up for SALE. I watched this video by a youtube guy known as KLEARSKI THE KREEPER. 
 

Now I was able to eat at this restaurant back when it was called THE MARINA restaurant. The company I worked for at the time provided a dinner here and I remember the service was slow, we had to wait a 1/2 hour just to get the check for the meal and the food was mediocre at best. This proves out with the ratings it got on YELP. However the building is cool! If you look at the photos, the building actually floats and is attached with metal rings that are coupled around tall metal or wooden poles. 
This enables the restaurant to adjust to the ever changing depth of the Willamette River. It's a unique sensation to walk inside the restaurant because of this and it adjusts to the wake of the big ocean ships that might be passing by on the Willamette to drop off goods at the Port of Portland. You feel like you are sitting on a boat or ship.

Now let's look at the interior photos. 
This is the view of the dining area looking at the bar. It is a casual restaurant which I like. As you can see there are some nice views of Portland and the river here from the window.
and here is another view of the dining interior. 
and a different view from the window area. 
and one from the entry way into the restaurant. 
and another view from the bar area. 
and here is a little idea about the downstairs where the kitchen is located. 
and this angle here. 
There is a covered outdoor dining on the attached dock area. 
Looking at the restaurant dock area from the water side. 
Here is a photo of the area where you walk a plank deck to get down to the restaurant on the water. 
This seems like a cool opportunity to check out Newport Seafood Grill at Riverplace for sale
I would love to see it operating again offering great food and service along with the unique views and location.

The New Coffin Comic Book Themed Bar and Restaurant idea in Phoenix Arizona.

Image
  Sometimes a very successful restaurant that seems to have been in business forever eventually closes due to a catastrophic event like Covid-19. This happened to a Phoenix restaurant called  Tommy's Place  which is for sale now.   It served high quality Italian food and most reviews on Yelp were very favorable.  It would be crazy to replace it with a restaurant with the same cuisine because it would always be compared to Tommy's.           Now Tommy's was a bar and restaurant with balcony seating and it has a lot of character I got inspired for this post looking at this Haunted Themed bar restaurant menu for food and drinks located in Portland, Oregon called  Raven's Manor . The drinks are expensive but the place is packed all the time because the drinks look so cool. One drink called "The Elder God" costs $75.00 by itself but check out this photo of it  The Elder God . Now look at these drinks like The Botanist  , The Red Rum  ,  The Hellfire  , the Christm

Grace Restaurant is for sale in Portland, Maine and would be great if purchased by actress/singers Anna Kendrick and Emma Watson.

  Grace Restaurant is for  Sale  and here  sale It is a church that was converted into a super nice restaurant. Here is the main doorway in.  The incredible interior just blows me away.  So cool, like out of a James Bond movie. Even the upper decks on the side look fantastic.  So cool to see a church actually become useful.  They even have special banquet rooms for weddings, concerts, karaoke, and special events.  This would be an amazing place as a dining option.  and it has fantastic appeal and it's fully equipped.  and ready to go.  Beautiful Restaurant! Looking into my crystal ball I see two critical celebrities that need to invest in this restaurant and buy it. The first is actress/singer Anna Kendrick who looks fantastic in a black business suit.  Anna was born and raised in Portland, Maine to be exact, and all people from Maine by birth are natural experts on the consumption of Maine Lobster. When Maine babies are born in a Maine maternity ward they are all outfitted with a

A New Star Trek themed restaurant that will surpass all before it, which have come and gone, to boldly go where no restaurant has gone before.........

Image
Above is the photo of the now out of business Star Trek Themed restaurant located in Italy, Texas called Starship Pegasus.   Here at this link is a list of Star Trek restaurants that have come and gone like the Dodo.  Star Trek Themed Restaurants . Actually there might be a couple still afloat out there.  Now for the new idea. Instead of focusing on a ship shaped building or an interior that looks like the ships interior with all the blinking lights, paraphernalia,  and photos of solar systems yada, yada, yada, I propose the restaurant be based on one episode of Star Trek: The Gamesters of Triskelion. The new restaurant would be called: THE CHICKEN WINGS AND DANCE CLUB OF TRISKELION.  Here is the photo of the logo along with your Table Thrall (waitress) for the restaurant but replace the spear with her holding a beautiful plate of tantalizing chicken wings. Just an outstanding outfit/uniform for a chicken wing/dance club and Brand emblem. I am en"THRALL"ed with it! The geomet
