Red gauze curtains, an open gravel-housed fire, and glossy head-shaped lounge tables make this colorful, funky hotel restaurant and bar a draw for a crowd of Portland’s carefully de-scruffed youth. Chef Nicholas Yanes, who once worked under Anthony Bombacci at Nana in Dallas, is just as youthful in his approach. Unexpected combos like crispy-skinned Chinook Salmon with white sweet potato ravioli and baby zucchini do double duty as both inventive and un-intimidating.
