Portland One Night

I'll be staying downtown...maybe Hotel deLuxe maybe elsewhere, but I'll be picking up my brother at the airport, so any place in between or downtown. I would like a place with a nice bar to eat at, refined, and friendly like a nice warm blanket, but not too casual. Have eaten at the bar at Bluehour, so I would like to try something else. Substance is better than splash. I heard Lauro might be worth it, and I will look into Clyde Common. Anything else come to mind?

Portland One Night

Thanks for all the help. I've made reservations at Le Pigeon...sounded good and interesting, and near Doug Fir. Sel Gris is closed on Sundays.

But realized that I would be dining alone on Saturday night. Do you have any recommendations for dining alone at the bar...good food, nice drink, friendly and welcoming of singles? Thanks.

Portland One Night

Will be in Portland for one night on SUNDAY of Memorial Day weekend with my brother who is from NYC and a foodie (Per Se, Babbo, etc). I'm from Seattle and also a foodie. We're looking for a special place...hip, not old & traditional, maybe with a bar scene, exceptional food and service, good wine...lively...you get the picture...yea we want it all the snobs that we are! Not interested in Ethnic unles French or Italian is considered ethnic. Any help is welcome.
