"An industrial-chic wine bar and restaurant that uses hyper-seasonal, hyper-local ingredients, Arden’s menu often changes day to day. But for Portland Dining Month, diners can find a fixed menu of its progressive cuisine. Each course comes with two options, including red trout crudo with pickled apple; filet of beef with Yukon gold potato, harissa marinated feta, broccoli, and chimichurri; and a miso-vanilla ice-cream sandwich on a matcha snickerdoodle. If that’s not enough, the restaurant is also offering wine pairings for $16 to complete the experience." - Alex Frane
