A Repeat Visit
A trip north to Portland from our home in Southern Oregon always provides the opportunity to check out the culinary scene for which the city is known. While we enjoy visiting places we've never been before, we also like to go back to tried-and-true favorites.

First opened in 2003, the restaurant garnered several accolades right from the start (Best Restaurant of the Year, Oregonian; 10 Most Notable New Restaurants of 2004, The Wall Street Journal; 10 Hottest Restaurants, msn.com) and continues to hold a respected place for its locally sourced, organic, sustainable, seasonal menu in a town where it seems every restaurant makes those claims.
