Cay Bar & Grill Will Open in the Old McCormick & Schmick’s Harborside in Portland

A new Vietnamese restaurant will open in what was the McCormick & Schmick’s Harborside restaurant space for many years. It’s called Cay Bar & Grill, and they’ll offer “authentic Vietnamese cuisine with a modern bar experience.”
...
Look for a menu of traditional Vietnamese dishes like phở, bún (vermicelli noodle), cơm (rice plates), bò kho ( beef stew), bún bò Huế (beef noodle soup), fresh spring rolls, egg rolls, and more.
...
Look for a full bar with handcrafted cocktails, beer, and wine. And a happy hour menu, “since a lot of people are looking forward to that!”
...
This is not a small place. It’s 8,350 square feet, with 350 seats in the restaurant and 220 outside. When it was McCormick & Schmick’s Harborside, there were some private dining options, and it would not surprise me if that continued at Cay Bar & Grill.
The lovely riverside views will continue for sure—The Knot said the restaurant has “one of the most breathtaking views of Portland.”
...
They are hoping to open in the next one to two months. When that happens, they are looking at being open every day from 11am to 10pm. They plan to have recorded music, live music, DJs, and dancing.
