Paley’s Place – Portland

I will admit up front that through a series of events over the years I have an emotional tie to Paley’s Place. On my  first evening in 1996, we had barely sat down when the gentleman at the next table caught my eye. “You simply must try our wine,” he said proffering the bottle. “It is our 40th anniversary tonight and we have saved this for years.” He reached over and poured us each a glass of the best Oregon Pinot I had ever tasted, setting the tone for our meal to come.

El Gaucho – Portland

To many, El Gaucho epitomizes what a steakhouse should be. It feels sophisticated. The atmosphere is formal, the lighting dim and romantic, and lots of dark wood provides a backdrop to tinkling stemware and white linens. Live jazz wafts from the background as tuxedo-clad waiters scurry by with carts for …Read the Rest
