Where is the Best American Food in Portland, Oregon?
Still mourning the loss of Taqueria Nueve, I recently ventured into the new restaurant that took over its space. They serve New Orleans cuisine and it is damn good! Hooray! The plates (well, not exactly plates) are small (tapas style) and the food is served in big old coffee mugs. I know it sounds kind of weird, but they make it work. Everything I tried sang in my mouth. We had the jambalaya (with chicken, shrimp and sausage), the hanger steak (served with carmelized portobello fries) and the bibb lettuce salad (served with smoked tomatoes and a bacon vinagrette).

Most recently, I had the cast iron chicken that was cooked to perfection; earlier the black cod that reminded me of Hawaiian butterfish cooked with miso. And yes, the decor is comtemporary and beyond nice with flowers and eye catching arrangement as you enter the dining room. I’m going to Fife again and you will do well to give it a try.
