Multi-concept operator Restaurants Unlimited Inc., or RUI, this week debuted Portland Seafood Co., its first new concept in four years.
The new concept is a conversion of an existing restaurant owned by RUI, which previously operated as Newport Seafood Grill. It reopened as Portland Seafood Co. — a 270-seat neighborhood seafood restaurant off a busy Portland, Ore., highway — on Thursday.
“This will be a restaurant for locals,” said Chris Harter, RUI president and chief executive. “With the quality we’re delivering at the price point, we think this restaurant will be very successful.”
Portland Seafood Co.’s menu was developed by Brian Poor, chef of RUI’s Portland City Grill, a steakhouse atop Portland’s U.S. Bank building and one of the busiest establishments in the company’s portfolio of 46 restaurants under 21 brands.
