Tasting Menus and Prix Fixe Dinners Worth the Price Tag in Portland

"While many fine dining restaurants in Portland try to couch their seriousness with a party atmosphere, this small, quiet sake bar with neighborhood izakaya vibes exudes a focus and professionalism, allowing the food and drink to speak for themselves. Oregon-grown wasabi roots sit in a bowl of water, stems tangled; chefs swirl wasabi against a flat grater to form a light, delicate paste, served alongside nigiri from around the world. On any given visit, fourteen-day-aged sea bream may arrive with yuzu-Thai chile kosho and house soy sauce, providing a lovely floral note, while 21-day dry-aged Ora King salmon may appear with blood orange-serrano kosho, buttery with a satisfying sweetness and acidity from the citrus. If you’re lucky, you’ll finish with ribbons of rice noodle swirled among chanterelles in a yuzu-kosho compound butter — an elegant end to an unassuming, refined omakase. Reservations are available via Tock." - Eater Staff
