Portland’s Best Romantic Restaurants and Bars for Date Night | Eater Portland

"A reservation at Le Pigeon is an impressive option for date night — but not one that feels stuffy. The tasting menu shows off chef and co-owner Gabriel Rucker’s playful style; past meals have paired roasted swordfish with escargot or beer can chicken with black truffle alfredo. Each dinner finishes with his signature foie gras profiterole. Sommelier and co-owner Andy Fortgang’s wine pairings are worth the bump in price, and Le Pigeon offers a vegetarian tasting menu for those looking for a little less liver with dinner." - Katrina Yentch
