Food Scene

This place is great for a date night, lunch meeting, or just to explore delicious fresh food. My favorite dish is the Duck confit & brussle spouts, but the Paella night is the most spectacular.

To get a good feel for Portland, I recommend walking to the waterfront park or Eastside's Esplanade. The views of the city are great from the East, & the people watching is outstanding along the West.
