    Park Kitchen Portland

    The restaurant will still continue service for private parties and special pop-up dinners.In a not too surprising email from Park Kitchen this afternoon the restaurant announced it will no longer be open for drop-in dinners as of the end of service on October 27th. I've been wondering how they would survive after receiving a judgment against them for over $800,000 after a … [Read more...] about Park Kitchen Discontinuing Regular Service
