Fodor's Expert Review Tasty n Alder

Brunch draws even weekday crowds at this always-happening Downtown venture of celebrated Portland chef John Gorham, what you could label a "modern steak house," though the globe-trotting, tapas-focused menu evades easy categorization. For dinner, Tasty n Alder turns up the class, with a selection of steaks from family-run ranches, along with well-crafted original cocktails. The atmosphere is modern, clean, and inviting.
