Irving Street Kitchen

Portland


Pacific Northwest cuisine with a Southern touch, this upscale restaurant serves exceptional dishes like braised beef cheeks with horseradish and parsnip puree, and arugula and sheep's-cheese crepes with pickled corn. Save room for the butterscotch pudding served in Mason jars. The wine list is also notable. It does brunch too.
