If you're a Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardholder and reside in Portland, you can take advantage of up to $300 in annual dining credits at one of the 10 eligible restaurants in the city (as of June 2026). The credit comes as two separate $150 semiannual credits: one for January through June and one for July through December. There is one additional eligible restaurant in Oregon, located in Carlton.
Unfortunately, finding eligible restaurants in Portland through OpenTable's site requires scrolling through a grid with no search functionality, no pricing estimates, and no insight into which spots let you stack rewards with other rewards programs. OpenTable also groups nearby cities together, so you'll see 11 restaurants come up for Portland, even though there's only 10 within city limits.
nextcard's MealMaxxer tool is a great alternative for cardholders to search for restaurants that accept the Sapphire Reserve dining credit, since it includes key details like pricing and cuisine filters in a default map view. Further, the tool shows which Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurants are participating in other dining rewards programs like Franki, helping you stack benefits when possible. Of Portland's 10 eligible restaurants, Arden Restaurant also qualifies for Bilt Neighborhood Dining and Franki, giving you more ways to stack rewards in a single visit.
TL;DR:
When you dine at eligible restaurants and pay with an eligible Sapphire Reserve card, the CSR dining credits post automatically on your Chase account. You receive up to $150 from January through June and another $150 from July through December. Note that if your bill exceeds $150, the remaining balance will be charged to your card as normal.
One of the more practical perks of the CSR dining credit is how little setup it requires. No enrollment, no activation, and no OpenTable reservation needed. You do not need to book through Exclusive Tables or OpenTable to earn the credit. Just dine in and pay with your Sapphire Reserve card. Statement credits typically post within 3 business days, though they can take up to 4 weeks. The transaction must be processed directly by the restaurant in order for the dining credit to apply.
Portland's 10 participating restaurants span diverse cuisines from Japanese to Mediterranean. The one eligible restaurant in Carlton specializes in farm-to-table menu items.
Asian cuisine is represented by Nodoguro's omakase experience, Jeju's Korean-inspired menu, and Xiao Ye's Taiwanese flavors. Mediterranean and European options include Arden Restaurant Portland, Shalom Y'all, and Dolly Olive & Bar Dolly. L'Orange brings French technique, while Canard focuses on rotisserie chicken.
The map view on the MealMaxxer shows average pricing data for each restaurant, helping you plan if you should use your dining credits at once or spread them across multiple visits.
Arden Restaurant is located in the Pearl District with seafood items on the menu that rotate regularly. The chef's prix fixe runs $75 for four courses, with optional wine pairings at $50 (as of June 2026). Chorizo sausage, truffle pierogis, and fennel salad are available on the a-la-carte menu. A prix fixe dinner for two allows you to use your up to $150 semiannual credit in one visit.
Arden is the only eligible Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurant that allow you to stack rewards with other dining programs like Franki and Bilt Neighborhood Dining.
Dinners at Nodoguro follows the kaiseki tradition, and includes more than 20 courses. Nodoguro is owned by Ryan and Elena Roadhouse; chef Ryan has been cooking Japanese food for over 30 years.
Nodoguro has won numerous accolades like Restaurant of the Year by Portland Monthly and featured in publications like Vogue, Plate, and Food & Wine.
L'Orange is lead by chef Joel Stocks and includes themed rooms by color that you can reserve in advance. Chef Joel is known for applying European cooking techniques to Pacific Northwest ingredients.
The menu changes frequently but maintains its upscale positioning. Expect to spend $75 to $125 per person before drinks.
Jeju is the newest restaurant from chefs Peter Cho and Sun Young Park, the team behind Han Oak. The chefs seek to reflect Korean-American heritage and experience in Jeju's menu. The restaurant recommends that parties of six or more order the Chef's Tasting Menu, which works well when dining with other cardholders who can each split the bill and apply their own credits.
Oma's Hideaway started as a pop-up during the pandemic before settling into Portland's Richmond neighborhood in 2021. Chef Thomas Pisha Duffly built the menu around his grandmother's influence, which channels Singaporean and Malaysian flavors. The maximalist atmosphere matches the menu's eclectic flavors. Unlike the tasting menu restaurants on this list, Oma's offers a more casual entry point for using your dining credit, with entrees hovering around $20 to $35.
Dolly Olive & Bar Dolly operates as a wine bar and casual eatery from the Central East Side of Portland. The dual concept gives you spending flexibility with your credit. Wine-focused visits run $40 to $60 per person, while adding food can push the total to $80 to $100, letting two diners use most of the CSR dining in one visit.
Menu items at Canard include French-inspired dishes, featuring items like duck stack pancakes and foie gras dumplings. Canard is led by chef Gabriel Rucker, the James Beard award winning chef behind Le Pigeon.
Canard has been widely praised for its inventive menu, earning recognition in national publications and solidifying its place as one of Portland’s most popular dining spots.
Dishes at Shalom Y'all draw inspiration from Israeli and Middle Eastern flavors, with a menu built around shareable plates like hummus, kebabs, and seasonal vegetables. The restaurant is part of the Sesame Collective, founded by chef Kasey Mills.
Shalom Y’all has been featured in local and national outlets for its vibrant atmosphere and modern take on Mediterranean cuisine, and remains a staple in Portland’s dining scene.
Meals at Xiao Ye focus on Taiwanese and Chinese cuisines with a modern twist. The menu features dishes like hand-pulled noodles and creative small plates like Fried Taro Puffs. The restaurant is led by chef Louis Lin, who brings experience from notable kitchens across the country and his experience growing up as the child of Taiwanese immigrants.
Xiao Ye has gained attention for its inventive menu and has been recognized in Portland Monthly.
When dining at Han Oak, you can experience flavors from traditional Korean dishes like Galbi-jjim while also enjoying Korean dishes with a creative twist, like the mushroom ddukboki. The restaurant is run by chef Peter Cho, who is known for his personal and evolving approach to Korean cuisine.
Han Oak has received widespread acclaim, including recognition from Bon Appétit and Eater, and is frequently listed among Portland’s top dining destinations.
Let's say you're dining with another fellow Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardholder and would like to use dining credits on two separate cards. Bill splitting works as long as the bill is processed in separate transactions on each eligible card, directly by the restaurant. Delivery services, takeout orders, gift cards, and merchandise purchases don't trigger credits.
The up to $150 semiannual credits reset after June 30th and December 31st without rollover, making timing important. You can make Portland dining plans proactively using the MealMaxxer to avoid leaving money unused.
The Chase Sapphire Reserve® is the only Chase card eligible for the up to $300 annual dining credit. Other premium cards such as the American Express Platinum Card® and American Express® Gold Card offer a dining credit as well, through Resy. Keep in mind that enrollment is required for the Resy credits to be activated on the Amex cards. The Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card doesn't offer a dining credit, but allows cardholders to make reservations via Capital One Dining.
| Card | Annual Dining Benefit | Credit Structure | Enrollment Required | Restaurant Network |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chase Sapphire Reserve® | Up to $300 | Up to $150; 2x a year (semiannual) | No | OpenTable Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables |
| American Express® Gold Card | Up to $100 | Up to $50; 2x a year (semiannual) | Yes | Resy |
| American Express Platinum Card® | Up to $400 | Up to $100; 4x a year (quarterly) | Yes | Resy |
OpenTable's Exclusive Tables page displays restaurants in a scrolling grid without search functionality, city filters, or pricing estimates. The program spans approximately 400 restaurants across 50+ US cities as of 2026. nextcard's MealMaxxer maps eligible restaurants across multiple dining rewards programs in one place, including CSR Exclusive Tables, Amex Resy, Bilt Neighborhood Dining, Franki, and others, with list view also available.
Stacking opportunities are front and center: you can see which restaurants qualify across programs in a single view. For Arden Restaurant, I would use my CSR dining credit to get up to $150 off and then use the Franki app to stack more rewards on top.
Portland's 10 participating restaurants give you options across price points from $ to $$. Few participating cities have this kind of pricing range, so Portland is a great city to use the benefit regardless of your budget. The mechanics stay the same, regardless of which restaurant you visit. Just pay with your Chase Sapphire Reserve® at any qualifying restaurant, and statement credits usually post automatically within days. No reservation on OpenTable is required.
Portland has 10 eligible restaurants where you can use your dining credit, ranging from casual spots like Canard to high-end omakase restaurants like Nodoguro. There is one additional eligible CSR dining restaurant in Oregon in the city of Carlton.
OpenTable groups nearby cities under major metro areas, so the Portland filter can include restaurants in surrounding areas.
Statement credits typically appear within 3 business days on your Chase account, though processing can take up to 4 weeks. You should have no issue receiving the credits as long as the restaurant is eligible and you pay with a Chase Sapphire Reserve® at the restaurant.
Takeout qualifies if you pay the restaurant directly. Orders through third-party apps like DoorDash or UberEats don’t count because the charge isn’t processed by the restaurant.
Yes. Credits are issued per eligible card when charges are processed separately. If the bill is split across multiple cards directly at the restaurant, each transaction qualifies independently for its corresponding statement credit.
