New Portland Indigenous Restaurant Javelina Is Already Moving | Eater Portland
"Portland’s only Indigenous restaurant that opened less than two months ago is relocating east — moving its bison meatloaf — after owners Alexa and Nick Numkena-Anderson said in a Facebook post that their stint inside the former Lil Dame space was cut short because “we had some unforeseen challenges... that we couldn’t see getting through. Also, it was too small, we couldn’t accommodate everyone that came in and quickly realized we needed more room to pursue our goals of being a restaurant, gathering place and community hub for our guests.” Its last day in the current home will be March 29; it will reopen two weeks later at 4636 NE 42nd Avenue in the old Norma Jeans space in Cully. The tasting-menu concept will take a slightly longer break and reopen in May. The new space will have more indoor seating, allow expansion of the menu and owners, and also has a full bar." - Harry Cheadle
