Hi, all! We land at around 11:30 am on a Tuesday and would like to eat lunch in Portland before driving down to Dundee for several days in the Willamette Valley. Any kind of cuisine is fine, although we are not meat eaters (seafood would be great!); we'll be casually dressed; a good wine selection (by the glass) would be nice as wine is the main purpose of our trip, but on the other hand, a taste of microbrew culture might be a better use of our time. We had South Park Seafood Grill earmarked for our last trip to Portland, but never made it there--good choice, or no? Your thoughts would be very welcome!
One lunch in Portland

Southpark is very good for both seafood and wine. Higgins is another classic here that is very good.
If you decide to go with microbrews, head to Deschutes. Great beer and burgers.
Hit submit too soon. Deschutes is known for their burgers, but they do have fish n chips and salmon, etc so you will be fine there.
I really enjoyed my lunch at Silk. Good Vietnamese food, seafood options. Pearl district, four blocks north of Powell's Books.

Thanks for the recos, mms and thursdaysd! Our current plan, such as it is, is to stop at Clear Creek Distillery first from the airport, then head to either Deschutes, Rogue or The Green Dragon for lunch and microbrews. Southpark is still calling my name, but I guess we'll get enough wine the rest of the week... is there such a thing as enough wine??
Mmmm.....love a Dead Guy Ale from Rogue. I don't suppose you can go wrong with any of the breweries.
