"Mermosa PDX, which opened earlier this summer on Northwest 23rd, pairs citrus-sweetened wine cocktails with dishes like coq au vin and Haitian griyo, in a beachy, azure-toned space. From the outside, the bar may seem like a relaxed, vacation-vibed bar for fun drinks and food; for Noisette, it’s the culmination of years of work, generations in the making." - Maya MacEvoy
