The Woodsman Tavern
Take equal parts upscale watering hole and Pacific Northwest roots restaurant that's heavy on the seafood, and you'll get something like the Woodsman, an eatery that gives American standards a uniquely Portland twist. (Think pancetta-wrapped monkfish and ham-and-cheese fritters with jalapeno jam.) Plates of roasted chicken, crab claws, and artisan country ham share space on the menu with a beet salad with sheep's cheese and grapefruit that's worth a repeat visit. It's a cozily stylish place where customers wear flannel, an old-school tavern with outstanding cocktails (like the Hunting Vest, with charred cedar Campari, rye whiskey, and dry vermouth) a nd Pacific Coast oysters on the half shell. There's a small attached European-style market next door, as well as the original Stumptown coffee shop, the owner of which opened the Woodsman in 2012.
