Alright...I ventured out for dinner last night in my new area...Portland's was on the top of the list due to it's decent reviews and the extremely close proximity to our home.
We walked in and found the restaurant to be a little "cold" with the decor. Modern and on the dark side. The bar area was cute, however we decided to grab a dinner table. After finally getting someones attention after walking around the entrance for a bit, we were seated and ordered some wine.
We started with Crab cakes which we rated a "5" out of "10". Not awesome...not horrible. So far so good. For entrees I decided on the Chicken Phylo and my co-diner got the Ostrich (don't ask me why...guess he was feeling "wild"). The waiter described the Ostrich as "irony"...boy was it ever. It literally tasted like blood. However I do have to say, what the hell do you expect when the description is "irony". Ha! Either way, it was not appeasing to me...or my co-diner. My chicken was decent so I don't really have much to complain about there. I give it a 4. Luckily we were able to score some lasagna from my new neighbors when we got home...so we did not have to go to bed hungry.
I wouldn't waste my time going back to this spot with all of the other local places in the area. If you do decide to go...PASS on the Ostrich. ;)
