Wildwood

Frommer's Review

With a menu that changes daily and a spare, elegant interior decor straight out of Architectural Digest, Wildwood has for many years been one of Portland's best restaurants. If you love creative cuisine, be sure to give this place a try. Fresh seasonal ingredients combined into simple-yet-imaginative dishes are the hallmark of chef Cory Schreiber's cooking, and often there are no more than a handful of ingredients in a dish so as to let each of the flavors shine through. I can never get enough chanterelle mushrooms, so on a recent evening I couldn't pass up an appetizer pizza made with chanterelles and lobster mushrooms and an entree of sturgeon with chanterelles and fried lemons. This is the only non-Indian restaurant I know of that has a tandoor oven, and you can usually count on the meat dishes that are roasted in this oven. Salads and sorbets are exceptionally good, too. If you can't get a reservation, you can usually get served in the bar.
