Eating before the symphony

WE are going to Portland for the day (from Seattle) for a synphony performance. Can anyone suggest some great place to eat that aren%26#39;t too far away? Thanks!

Eating before the symphony

This is an easy one! Higgins or Southpark Seafood Grill. In a pinch, Heathman Hotel.

Eating before the symphony

We usually went to the Heathman Bar and had just snack .. they do those very well.. it is a nice atmosphere too.

Then dinner after .. SouthPark is a great recommendation ..

There is a good restaurants a few blocks down on South Broadway, at the Lucia Hotel - Typhoon...

We usually went back to the Pearl to have dinner, nothing but choices there !

Here is a small list in that general area..

Higgins is very good, in the Pearl District we really love Bluehour, very good Gnocchi here and the space is gorgeous that the restaurant is housed in. Also in the Pearl is Olea, Ten 01, Carlyle, Park Kitchen and Andina (cool Peruvian restaurant.)

Enjoy your time in Portland! :)

I wouldn%26#39;t expect you to know, syrahgirl, but except for Higgins, none of the restaurants you%26#39;re recommending are close to ';The Schnitz';, where the Oregon Symphony performs. And BTW, Olea is apparently closed now, another victim of this lousy Portland economy.

It is really too bad about Olea. We liked them once and then not so much, but I still feel bad that they closed.

it was such a pretty space ..

Just a reminder concerning the local/non-local remarks.. This is a Travel forum, not a Locals forum..
