About the restaurant
Don’s Favorite Foods is a prix-fixe restaurant created by husband and wife team Chef Don Salamone and Kate Laurents in partnership with Sommelier Adam Galbraith.
Cocktails courtesy of Jeffrey Morgenthaler & "Banjo" Amberg.

Our menu changes monthly and highlights dishes Don grew up with as well as those he mastered though working at Michelin-starred restaurants across the country.

From Don: You may find gnocchi like my Ma used to make or Italian sausage modeled after my Godfather’s, Oreste “Ernie” Capone. You might find scallops still in their shells, Oregon pork in the style of Braciole, & popovers I learned to make from my mother-in-law, Terry, because she makes those every Christmas morning... beef tartare, sea urchin, caviar, etc too. These things are all my favorites.

We hope you’ll find your new favorites here too.

*Note- if you are using a gift certificate to book you must email reservations@donsfavoritefoods.com - do not book through OpenTable. Thank you!*

Celebrated my son’s birthday. They had a card signed by staff and birthday hats at the table waiting for us, which I thought was adorable and personable. Food was delicious. Ordered fried calamari and Cesar salad for appetizers and the ribeye, prime rib, and grilled Mahi for entrees. Drinks a couple of old fashions, Chardonnay and Hefeweizen. All were great!! Our server was attentive and friendly as well!!

We celebrated my mom’s 78th birthday and a few hours prior to our reservations I dropped off some flowers to be set at our table. When I arrived I discovered that the flowers had been accidentally placed in freezing cold refrigerator which killed the bouquet. The manager had one of the staff honor and purchase an entire new arrangement while we were eating dinner and brought it to the table with a complimentary dessert! They felt awful but recovered beautifully!
