Go to e-Gullet's Pacific Northwest forum http://tinyurl.com/6lele and
read some of the recommendations there. You can post, as well, but
you must become a member first (as you must to do a search, as well).
People there are very knowldgeable about the pdx scene. I always
trust Trillium's recommendations,--she used to post here though is
mostly active over there now.

Some suggestions I read and would one day like to try: clarklewis,
Paley's, Wildwood, Caprial's (She used to have a TV cooking show and
she used to annoy me, but I always though her food looked good).
