"The Woodsman Tavern is the perfect neighborhood pub, with a cozy interior complete with dark private booths and a long, open bar in the center of the restaurant. Its comfort food menu focuses on a mix of seafood and tavern classics with a Southern bent, and its brunch biscuits are some of the best in the city: Huge, with a crispy, buttery crust and pillowy insides. Be sure to order the breakfast sandwich, which slices a biscuit in half to stuff it with cheese, sausage, and jalapeno jam." - Michelle Lopez
"La Leñadora will focus on dinner service, emphasizing seafood. The restaurant will serve dishes like flautas filled with potato confit and smoked black cod, queso fundido, delicata squash tostadas, and a range of vegetable dishes including a twist on Caesar salad and mole blanco with prickly pear. The menu highlights larger-format dishes meant to be shared, such as a whole fish styled after Contramar, whole hog carnitas, and seafood fajitas served with beans, house pickles and salsas, and chile oil." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"The Woodsman Tavern, Division by Factory North. This is not your typical tavern. Although, nothing that Duane Sorenson (original Stumptown Roasters founder) does is typical. Every detail in this space has a specific role in carrying out this perfectly attentive dining experience with a low-brow casual attitude. You're guaranteed to feel as comfortable at the bar with a cheeseburger and a pickle-back as you are on a date sharing oysters and rosé."
"The revival of a SE Division restaurant that closed in 2018, known for its country ham and roster of talented alumni." - Eater Staff
"The Woodsman Tavern, Stumptown founder Duane Sorenson’s grand dame on SE Division, will close doors after service on December 1." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
