Best Lunch Restaurants in Carlton

Twice a year some old friends from Chicago visit their son & his family in Portland, and we always meet halfway (I live in Newport) for lunch while they're in Oregon. Over the years we've gone to many of the fine vineyards & restaurants in the wine country but always gravitate back around to Dundee Bistro, not only for its fine cuisine but also for its stylish yet comfortable ambience, its seating options (we like to be outdoors in summer, by the fireplace in winter), and its attentive but never intrusive service.

While searching for a different dining experience in my city. I saw the BEASTRO and was intrigued by the fusion of Island and Korean food, then I made a lunch reservation. The menu items that we chose were generous, more than we could eat in one sitting. I recommend the restaurant for the fusion experience. I will return for the dinner menu options which sounded tasty.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Day Wines. Great wine, great people, fun atmosphere. Highly recommend!
