Food scene
I've described in this section the restaurants and experiences that I would want to take my friends and family to. Portland is a foodie town, so we have many wonderful restaurants to choose from as well as we are in the heart of the Willamette Valley which offers Oregon wine country.
Wine Country is a must--plan a day of wine tasting in the Willamette Valley ( https://www.oregonwinecountry.org/).
With more than 500 wineries to choose from in 150 miles, the Willamette Valley is a great destination for wine lovers – but you'll discover that there’s more to Oregon Wine Country than what’s in the glass.

Originally called Agrivino, the new name is now Rosemarino Osteria (in Newberg) and it is listed as one of the top 100 most Romantic restaurants in the nation by Open Table. It's located in Newburg and is price fix. For about $85 you get a 5 course meal paired with wines. Dario (the owner) comes to each table to describe the meal he has cooked and why he has paired it with each particular wine. Your mouth will be watering by the time you are served. Each bite is better than the last. If you are planning a trip to wine Country this should be on your list of stops. Make reservations in advance as this is a popular place.

Ox is perhaps our favorite restaurant in Portland. It offers amazing a diverse menu packed with rich flavorful dishes. Start with the Grandma Agnes pickle cocktail--sounds weird but its fantastic and they are known for this drink. I love the flank steak...but you can't go wrong with this menu. NOTE: arrive at 4:45 to get your name in or you may not get a seat.

For the best Happy Hour nearby, I highly recommend Stockpot near Redtail Golf. You wouldn't think walking in that the food is as good as it is---but trust me, its really outstanding. We go for the Happy Hour (4-6) and always get the Hamburger and wedge salad--but really, everything is great. They are fast and efficient as well.

The McMenamins family have created a series of brew pubs that are all unique in nature and favorite hang-outs. They offer typical pub food (tater tots, fries, burgers) but they offer a very unique ambience. They have several local spots...so if not this one--try Edgefield, Grand lodge, Kennedy School...they are all quite fun to explore.
