Review: Toro Bravo Restaurant

By PDX Food Dude Last Update November 28, 2017

Toro Bravo logo

To understand Spanish food, it helps to have a little understanding of the culture behind it Spain tugs at something deep in my soul. Maybe it is because taste, music, and memory are so closely intertwined, but every time I hear flamenco, I flash back to a time 25 years ago.I was living in Healdsburg in the Sonoma Valley, where I frequented a restaurant in an old building … [Read more...] about Review: Toro Bravo Restaurant

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 be one of my favorite restaurants, so I decided to use it for my next review.It feels … [Read more...] about Review: Higgins Restaurant

According to Wikipedia, Morton’s is the world’s largest owner … [Read more...] about Review: Morton’s The Steakhouse

Review: El Gaucho Steakhouse

By PDX Food Dude Last Update September 4, 2017

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 tableside Caesar salads, the darkness punctuated by an occasional burst of … [Read more...] about Review: El Gaucho Steakhouse

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 known for its … [Read more...] about Review: Noble Rot 2.0
