Yeah for Portland's!
I fell in love with this place after the guy who was going to stain my floors sent me down town to view his work at a new restaurant. The floors were beautiful, but after meeting the couple who owned the place, we decided to take a drive down ans sample the menu.
We became imediatly enamored and began regular visits to this great place. I have honestly tried everyhting ever served at Portland's
With the construction of the light rail, this down town jewel has struggled and hung on by the skin of it's teeth. Changes in the kitchen and crazy insane traffic kept us away for a little while. We felt guilty for slaking in the loyalty department but geeez what a mess!
Lured back to my favorite down town spot by the long over due completion of things, I stayed up late for me to listen to a new D.J. thing they got going on. (What was that guy's name?) Oh, fuck his name! ANYWAY...I took a fresh new look at the wine list and chose a wonderful little Pinot Noir. They have always done a great job updating and maintaing their wine list. I rarely eat burgers but it just sounded right. Amazingly great, better than I remembered.
We are back to more regular treks dow to the area. My hats of to a wonderful local couple who had a dream to provide a great local product and who has stuck it out. I wish you well.
