Review: Yakuza Restaurant

By Bruce Bauer Last Update November 29, 2017

By Bruce Bauer There are times when I’ve gone to a restaurant and had an incredible experience, but for various reasons, I didn’t make it back. Such was the case with Yakuza Lounge on Portland’s northeast side. I had my first experience with my friend DOR last October. It was such an-out-of-control meal we ended […]

Review: Higgins Restaurant

By PDX Food Dude Last Update November 26, 2017

On the way home from dinner at Nel Centro one evening, I was bemoaning the fact that I hadn’t had a good meal since I reviewed Tabla. At that moment, we drove past Higgins Restaurant, which looked completely full. It had been at least five years since my last dinner there, but it used to […]

Review: 23Hoyt

23 Hoyt Restaurant Portland

Since it was first built by Bruce Carey Restaurants, the 23Hoyt space has gone through multiple incarnations.

Now, a third version has emerged, billed as a “New American Tavern.” With the downslide in the economy, changes were made, and the focus and menu changed considerably. The current chef is Chad Church.

Live jazz wafts from the background as tuxedo-clad waiters scurry by with carts for tableside Caesar salads, the darkness punctuated by an occasional burst of flame from a bananas Foster in the making. To many people, this type of ambience is it, as fancy as they will ever dine, a place

Review: Noble Rot 2.0

By PDX Food Dude Last Update November 25, 2017

Noble Rot has a somewhat confusing pedigree. As I understand, it was originally started by chef Leather Storrs, and received positive reviews, including from me. I liked the warm, comforting atmosphere and the limited but mostly well-executed menu. In 2007, Leather left and opened another restaurant on East Burnside called Rocket. This new restaurant was […]
