"The second-oldest restaurant in Portland, Jake’s Famous Crawfish — not to be confused with nearby Jake’s Grill, both now part of the national McCormick and Schmick’s restaurant group — has been a downtown institution since 1892 and embraces every bit of that stodgy-but-charming heritage. In a city center that’s seen plenty of booms and busts, Jake’s attracts its share out-of-towners, including Madonna and Michael Jordan, but its phenomenal fresh seafood offerings make this more than a novelty tourist spot. Dungeness offerings include crab cakes, crab and artichoke dip, and crab Louie. Jake’s is open for dine-in or takeout." - Nathan Williams
