Rivers American Grill, Portland, OR P341
 
Rivers occupies the space formerly occupied by Avalon, which in and of itself means practically nothing...except for the great view of the Willamette River and the somewhat wild east bank across from the restaurant...in virtually the middle of Portland. 

Not a bad place for lunch, the food was tasty and about what you would expect to pay. 

My dining companion had a meatloaf (Why on earth would anyone go to a restaurant and order meatloaf?) which he thought was excellent. 

I opted for the buffet...a GREAT selection of "stuff"...good salsa and chips, an excellent pork enchilada mix, pureed salmon on half of an english muffin...and some very tasty little boneless chicken breasts...all for $8.95.

For some reason, restaurants in this location have had difficulty in getting the business necessary to sustain themselves.  Hopefully, Rivers will succeed.
