You might also find scallops still in their shells, Oregon pork in the style of Braciole, and popovers I learned to make from my mother-in-law, Terry, because the Laurents family makes those every Christmas morning... beef tartare, sea urchin, caviar, etc too. These things are all my favorites.We hope you’ll find some of your new (or old) favorites here too.

Four of us had Thanksgiving dinner at this iconic Portland restaurant, one of the few “oldies” to survive the pandemic. You will not find better service anywhere - every single staff person here provides outstanding customer service and excel in their fields. The food was fine - nothing memorable, but they were putting out 5 courses to a full restaurant all day long and managed to pull it off, so they get points for that IMO!

I cannot recommend this place enough! The food was outstanding. And that includes Portland restaurants. Best meal I’ve had all year. The setting and the ambience of the restaurant is warm, cute and vintage and just perfect. Don and his wife serve the food to the table with each course and tell you what to expect. It was exceptional. You won’t regret paying a visit to Don’s.

Our divine waiter went above and beyond. He graciously pointed out all the vegan options on the menu and his suggestions were spot on. After the meal, I got caught by a stopped train and a hot cookie was presented to me. A memorable experience for sure!
