Sweet spot for a special occasion dinner or simply a glass of wine and some nibbles at their friendly bar... The space is cozy. The food ( "coastal cuisine" ) is fresh. And it's within walking distance of the guesthouse, so you can walk off dessert!

This place is known for it's free-range chicken wings, but in my world their sweet potato fries and "Oriental Salad" ( tip: get it with grilled chicken ) are their treasures. Its Fremont/57th location is just a short walk from the guesthouse.

If you're visiting with a car during your stay, and are a beer fan or simply a fan of dining with a view, check out TIB's outdoor dining area with a view of the Columbia River and Bridge of the Gods in the distance. A refreshing jaunt from Portland definitely worth the 90 minute out and back drive. To make it a Columbia River Gorge pub crawl, head over Bridge of the Gods to the other side of the Columbia ( now you're in Washington state ) to enjoy the relaxed vibe of Walking Man Brewery. It's just a 10 minute drive away... They have the tastiest truffle fries, and of course tasty freshly brewed beer!
