| This waterfront establishment offers a true Portland experience with a notable selection of wine, an array of small plates, and a handful of entrées based on fresh regional ingredients, such as baked apple, blue cheese and hazelnut risotto. Add a good measure of friendliness and fun, no hints of intimidation or stuffiness, and Thirst is in a class by itself. A comfortable décor, warm staff and incredible views round out the appeal. Order a packed gourmet picnic to-go---simply return the basket and glassware when finished and enjoy a riverbank feast. There is even a kid’s menu early in the evening. The full-service establishment also hosts such fun events as winemaker dinners and complimentary tastings. There’s also a location in Lake Oswego. |
