The Dining Report – Castagna The Agony (Paying) and the Ecstasy (Yeast Rolls) As anyone who has been in our group for any amount of time knows, I am usually drawn to the new places more than the established venues.

The Dining Report – Davis Street Tavern Attack Of The Killer Croutons! Most of the time I keep up pretty well when decent restaurants open in Portland, through reading various publications and the internet I try to find the interesting and well reviewed new places to take our group.

This baby, though, was straight from a horror flick, and was totally freaking me out. It’s not that this baby was ugly by any means, it wa

The Dining Report – Indish Where’s Lassi When You Need Her? First of all, I hate to disappoint you all, but this will be a rare review, one where I can’t begin by going on and on and on infinitive about the history of the Indish, or its neighborhood, or the space it occupies, because  I really [...]

THE DINING REPORT – Laurelhurst Market First Class Dining At The Convenience Store Yes, it’s true that Laurelhurst Market has existed for many years now, but boy, has it changed.
