Take Two

"Portland-based restaurant offering jalapeño popper arancini and waffle fries smothered in Bolognese." - Jaya Saxena

"Home to the 'Grimy' shaker martini, a savory blend of olive oil-washed vodka or gin with anchovy-and-Parmesan-infused olive brine." - Zoe Baillargeon

"Gabbiano’s Spaghetti Western-themed sister bar with creative dishes like jalapeño popper arancini." - Thom Hilton

"The bartenders at this spot from Gabbiano’s co-owners David Sigal, Blake Foster, and Heather Wallberg promise “the dirtiest martini in town,” which they’re certainly able to deliver on. Choose from a dry martini featuring olive oil-washed gin or vodka; step it up a notch with the dirty, which includes Italian-spiced olive brine and a pimento olive; or go all out with the grimy, an umami bomb packing an anchovy-and-parmesan-infused olive brine, anchovy, and a blue cheese olive. Fans of Gabbiano’s fun mozzarella stick shots will be similarly delighted by the jalapeno popper arancini, a smart mashup of the two appetizers. Slushie aficionados will be pleasantly surprised with Take Two’s plays on a strawberry margarita and a pina colada, with the former getting a hit of acidity from balsamic vinegar and the latter zhushed up with sesame and chocolate." - Rebecca Roland, Janey Wong, Eater Staff

"Take Two is a casual watering hole for the neighborhood, known for its relaxed fun atmosphere and a food menu designed by Liz Serrone with items like Bolognese-smothered fries, jalapeño popper arancini, and banana pudding tiramisu." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
