Laurelhurst Market, Portland

Some of the best sweetbreads I’ve had in a very long time, combine that with creamed spinach and I was nearly in heaven and then came my bone marrow and I was elevated to an even higher place.

The Grilled Piedmontese Ribeye Steak http://piedbeef.com/ was cooked right on medium rare, well-seasoned and rested prior to service. I asked that they not put any of the bleu cheese butter on top of a beautiful piece of meat (really, what’s the point when the meat is this good). The onion rings that accompanied my steak were crisp, freshly fried, and salted nicely.

I can’t think of a single nasty or critical thing to say about the meal or the service and I’m usually not this brief or complimentary. Well done.
