Do not miss the hangar steak saltado! Slurp!

Cool place in NE on Williams - across from Pix (how convenient)
Great dishes to include: the "hens eggs and cream" appetizer, hangar steak (do you see a pattern here?), and great drinks.

Andina - 1

Love it. This is truly a happening place in every sense -- people, energy, food, bar, music, kitchen, location...
Don't miss the empanada appetizer, diver scallop entree', lomo saltado, and the torte de chocolate which far exceeded my expectations for so often getting mediocre desserts!

Pastini - 1
http://www.pastini.net/index.htm
A local Oregon restaurant chain - fresh, inexpensive and good!
Loved the salads (arugula and Caesar), carbonara (wow), and the molten lava cake for dessert!
All the pastas are tasty and the desserts are huge -- a lot of food for the money. I also give them a two thumbs up for donating a $100 gift certificate to the Columbia Land Trust for an auction item, which is why we went. Thanks Pastini!

Good but overpriced. Nice location and cool space. Love to see all the things going on in the kitchen front and center. Don't need to go back. Sorry!
