The Hottest New Restaurants and Food Carts in Portland, July 2024
"At this new cocktail bar adjacent to companion restaurant G-Love, servers deliver sparkling wine in coupe glasses soon after visitors sit down, whether that’s in one of the booths under the giant palapa at the center of the room or at the brightly backlit bar. Owner Garrett Benedict soon rolls by with the cart he designed himself, introducing diners to the various treats he has to offer. Maybe that’s a fat crab bao bun, light with a toasty chile crisp; or, it could be a brioche waffle topped with lox and horseradish creme fraiche, fried capers and dill like flowers. Must-grabs include the adorably tiny croissant banh mi and the ahi tuna “tacos” in a hard wonton shell, the salt and heat of nam jim jaew cooled with avocado whip." - Eater Staff
