Even after the meatball fiasco of the other week (what, I never wrote about that?), I still swear by this place.  Perhaps the customer service needs a smidge of help, but the food, well, the food is great.  Sausage, peppers, and goat cheese lasagna today, with a Caesar salad, of course.  

Great mixed green salad with blackened chicken, at Widmer Brewing. 

Meriwether’s Restaurant, on Vaughn.  You’ve got to appreciate the commitment to fresh produce from their own Skyline Farm.  Had a cup of prosciutto and lentil soup which was great, and a type of hot NYC deli meat/cheese half-sandwich.  Love this place for dinner, mostly.  When you can sit on the patio, with a glass of…

More great Justa Pasta.  Crisp and garlic tasty Ceaser salad, and outstanding spaghetti and meatballs with chili aioli.  So good!

Ribs & BBQ at this place.  On Vaughn.  Had the pulled-pork sandwhich with beans as a side.  Good, hearty bbq, slow cooked in an unattended back parking lot??

Acadia, a New Orleans Bistro. On NE Fremont Street. Lunch is only served on Wednesdays. Place is great; I really want to do a dinner here on a warm summer night. Some wine, some twinkle lights, a little jazz, sit outside, yum. Today had the crawfish, shrimp, and blue crab rillettes with toast (sorry no…

Nacho Mama’s is on Hwy 99, when you are leaving Portland heading to the coast.  In the Tigard area.  Cool patio area for the sunny months, and neat little bar inside.  Good grub, really good salsa.  Cold Tecate beer on tap.  I had carne asada and al pastor tacos today…open face with onion and cilantro…
