Cheap eats for tourists and locals

That is awesome!! Thank you for sharing!!

There were a couple of restaurants that I had been wanting to try, but were a little out of my normal price range. Can you say date night??

Cheap eats for tourists and locals

Wild Abandon sounds good .. Love that name .. great name lol.

Bastas Trattoria ! someone go and report back !! see a movie after at Cinema 21 and tell me about that too !

Thai Terrace looks very nice ... go and tell me about that one too .. do a comparison test with Typhoon, which was our favorite .. And still there , in case anyone wonders. lol

OK, who will be the TA FoodHound ? oregone, let the beh beh add his opinions too .. majerhle .. you definitely deserve a few nights out ... really.

I have several certificates from the restaurant.com website. They go on sale occassionally, and you can get really good deals. I got a $25 one for Split for $3, same with Cafe Allego and MacTarnahans.

Scarlett--Yes, Typhoon is still around:) We are going tomorrow night!

Mtngrl, since I knew you were going, I was pretty sure it would be around at least until then ... Happy Bday to the young%26#39;un .. lol

Scarlett, up until about a month ago, beh-beh was awesome in restaurants: He%26#39;d try anything we put in front of him. He once ate half a plate of farro at Celilo in Hood River without one complaint. And he was especially fond of the atun con tacu tacu at Andina.

Nowadays, however, he has no interest in fine dining. Ever since he hit two, it%26#39;s all trains and crayons for that boy. The only aspect of going out to a nice meal that beh-beh enjoys these days is the waitresses. Blond, brunette, or redhead, my son spends the whole meal making flirty-birdy eyes at the 20-something girl in the white button-down shirt and apron that refills his apple juice glass. What%26#39;s really weird is that he insists on calling them by their names, which I%26#39;ve always felt was kind of a cheesy faux-pas. And then he has to talk about kissing them all the way home. I just reread this paragraph and it sounds like I%26#39;m joking but I%26#39;m not.

For example, after a dinner served by Maria at Castagna last week, he was all, ';Mi-Mi-Ah kisssss.'; Nothing about the food, just all about kissing the server. I swear that kid is just like me.

LOL Oregone!!! Hey, I looked for beh beh%26#39;s shoe in Bend the other week. Didn%26#39;t find it...

That server at the Blacksmith has it, methinks!

Thank god he is an adorable baby boy and he can get away with asking Maria for a kiss... there must be plenty of waitresses out there with similar stories but not about beautiful little boys ...

Glad to hear he is just like you ... that is not such a bad thing at all ...

When will he start writing his TA reviews? lol ... '; the food was ok, kinda bland.. the apple juice was an 8 but the waitress was a 10 ?';

Haha, he can%26#39;t do any worse than some of the facebook restaurant ';reviews';!
