Review: Morton’s The Steakhouse

By PDX Food Dude Last Update June 9, 2020

Morton's The Steakhouse steak

I hadn’t been to Morton’s in at least eight years when I pulled up to the valet a few weeks ago. The last time my experience had been pretty good. On this warm Thursday evening, I was expecting a meal that would be close to the quality of El Gaucho. Morton’s was founded in 1978 […]

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.

Review: Acadia Restaurant

By PDX Food Dude Last Update July 27, 2017

Note: 1/2016 – This restaurant has been sold, and I am hearing much better things about it. Take this review with a grain of salt. When I was growing up, my mother used to make jambalaya on a regular basis. It was one of my favorite dishes, and I still make it now and then […]

Review: Wong’s King Seafood

By PDX Food Dude Last Update August 18, 2017

Minor updates 6.17. Food isn’t quite as good as it used to be, but it still attracts crowds, especially for dim sum. I used to be embarrassed when out-of-town guests wanted to get Chinese in Portland. I have a lot of Asian friends and when it comes to food they know I’m always up for […]
