Hello and welcome back!
I had the great pleasure of being taken out to Willow Restaurant in Portland for a belated birthday celebration. Run by the two person team of Doug Weiler and John Pickett in a converted apartment, it was a pretty great experience to be able to enjoy some really great dishes in an intimate setting.
If you just wanted to see some pretty pictures, here’s the album.
The menu above speaks for itself, but I’ll write it out just in case that helps:
- scallop ‘crudo’ (rhubarb | celery)
- pan roasted maitake mushrooms (favas, garlic mojo, ramp)
- summer squash panzanella (bread, squash emulsion, squash marmalade)
- fried green tomatoes (broccoli, roasted ramp aioli)
- barbecued pork (sumac, spring slaw)
- poundcake (ricotta, strawberry)
