Only three blocks from our house these are the BEST wings you will ever taste. Started by two hippies from Boulder - gawd bless 'em - they did it up right. This location has a full bar and brews its own beer. Plenty of delish non-wings items and a faboo back porch for summertime. Usually very full, but never longer than a 20 min wait.

If you're up for the trek (about 20 minutes by car) to the SE, you'll be so happy you went. Only about 6 tables this is the freshest sushi you'll ever have. Quaint, and delicious with zero attitude.

Okay this may just be the best food in Portland - the catch? Yes there is a wait and they don't take reservations. Small plates (tapas) perfect for sharing. Not too far from our house, but definitely a drive or Uber ride. Check out their menu online and prepare to be impressed. A Portland must, but if you can't get in, you can always try their other place, The Mediterranean Exploration Company in the Pearl District. Equally amazing food and atmosphere and they do take reservations.

Sister restaurant to the better known Toro Bravo, this tapas scene has an incredible atmosphere (romantic, but also good for a table of friends) and even better food. Try the tasting plate that they pick for you - well-priced for fine food and always a crowd pleaser. This is across the river from our place so about a 20 min drive or Uber ride. In the Pearl it's a great place to walk around when you're done or before.
