| Part of Tom Douglas’s culinary empire, Palace Kitchen offers refined comfort food in a dramatic dining room exuding a rustic, sexy elegance. A mammoth painting portraying a lusty banquet in a seventeenth-century palace kitchen dominates one wall of the noisy, high-ceilinged space, which features a U-shaped bar and a huge, mostly visible kitchen. The painting, by Seattle artist Jennifer Carrasco, underscores the vaguely decadent celebratory mood that prevails in this dark space. The menu emphasizes simple cuisine with global accents and clear flavors. Sage butter coats Piedmontese style ravioli---called plin---stuffed with roast pork and chard. The apple wood grill turns out Idaho trout accented with Meyer lemon and sea salt. Bratwurst on a warm pretzel bun is served with apple mustard, and the juicy Palace Burger Royale featuring Oregon country beef is always a good choice. Late night breakfast is served after 10 p.m., or just stop in for the chocolate truffle torte served with Pinot Noir ice cream. |
