Review: Hale Pele

March 12, 2007 by CuisineBonneFemme 30 Comments

"Thank God the tiki bar is open Thank God the tiki torch still shines Thank God the tiki bar is open Come on in and open up your mind" John Hiatt The Tiki Bar is OpenMy own experience with tiki bars began early, and my love of the tiki bar has been with me ever since. As a young kid from a very cold and snowy climate, my family would often take "mini vacations" by … [Read more...] about Review: Hale Pele

Review: Patanegra

December 6, 2006 by PDX Food Dude 1 Comment

Note: this restaurant is now closedI thought food writing would be easy. I would go to a restaurant three times, write a thoughtful, yet witty review, and be done with it.

Usually this is an easy thing to nail down, but in the case of the Gilt Club, the ambition is somewhat muddled. The cocktails are excellent. As a … [Read more...] about Review: The Gilt Club

Review: Westcafe

October 30, 2006 by Suds Sister 5 Comments

6/17 - Westcafe has closedWestcafé is a a sunny downtown outpost offering brunch, lunch, dinner, happy hour, coffee, take-out, snacks, cocktails, and dog-walking (just kidding on that last one). I am often in that neighborhood, and had been walking by Westcafé for months this past summer, curious to see what was going into the massive space. Westcafé sits on a … [Read more...] about Review: Westcafe
