14 Portland Restaurants and Food Cart Pods Great for Large Groups

"This stylish downtown Latin American restaurant is a smart choice for both celebration dinners and casual get-togethers, thanks to its menu: The happy hour menu includes fun shareable snacks like white corn and cheese fritters, spiced tuna tiradito, and ceviche, while the larger dinner menu boasts memorable entrees like achiote-marinated lamb chops, Nikkei-style kalbi beef short ribs, and pan-seared scallops with fresh corn polenta. The restaurant offers a full vegetarian menu, with vegan and gluten-free options as well. Lechon allows parties of up to 12 people to make reservations online; larger parties can also rent out the Lobby by Lechon, which can host up to 24 people for a seated dinner." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
