Wild Abandon
Sunday, 30 Jan 2005 Family
We came up to Portland this weekend for a couple of Anna’s Amaranth functions, one of which was a magnificent crab feast. But since my birthday is next week, my parents decided to celebrate this week. I chose a dinner out, at Wild Abandon.
Since we left Portland for Bend, one of the things I miss the most are the restaurants. “Gee, why doesn’t Bend have any great restaurants like Wild Abandon?” In my mind, it’s the archetypal great Portland restaurant.
The decor is funky yet sumptuous, the food is inventive and delicious, the wine list interesting and affordable, the service warm and friendly, the desserts — well, the desserts are merely very good, but that’s OK with me since I’m not supposed to eat them anyway.
So we had a great meal, and a great time. Thanks, Mom and Dad! I love you.
