The Better Living Room by Ninkasi Brewing

$$

Part restaurant, part brewery, part self-described "gathering space," celebrated brewery Ninkasi's newest iteration offers a casual spot to sip on beers paired with locally inspired seasonal pub fare, rain or shine. Sample a few beers from the extensive (and ever-changing) draft list in Ninkasi's high-ceilinged open-plan gathering area, or—if weather permits—head outside to dine in the massive hop-shaped courtyard.

Subterra

$$$$

Beautifully plated meat and seafood dishes take center stage at this local favorite, where ingredients (and beverages) are sourced locally whenever possible. As the name suggests, Subterra is located in an underground cellar space, but it's not as cramped as it sounds; there's even a private dining room for special events.

503-538–6060
Known For
  • An extensive list of Oregon wines

Takoda's Restaurant

$

A popular roadside café serves burgers, sandwiches, great soups, salads, pizza, and daily specials. The burger selection includes not only beef, but seafood, chicken, turkey, and veggie options. If the weather is nice, sit outside in their beautiful garden area out back. A video game room keeps kids happy.
