The scene is hopping at this communal table restaurant, where Blue Hill alum Chef Chris DiMinno has culinary panache and versatily. Everything from ingredient-driven seasonal spring salads, made luxurious with Oregon truffles, to Spanish fideos (a type of noodle) with scallops, squid and beef tongue are well executed and perfectly seasoned. And one of the major figures in the Portland (and U.S.) craft cocktail scene is Mixologist Jeffrey Morganthaler, who crafts off-the-charts cocktail pairings for DiMinno’s Northwest Barber-esque cuisine. Barflies and cocktail nuts in equal numbers head to Clyde Common for his Barrel-aged Negroni, softened and rounded thanks to aging.
