Feeling The Love!

Willamette Week, Portland's authority on all things cool, released their 2011 Restaurant Guide last week. In it they named 101 of the best restaurants in Portland, and we're on the list!

Here you can read the bulk of the review, but more details can be found here on Willamette Week's site.

Janet O'Connor and David Bowles jokingly refer to their Northwest bistro and wine bar as a "gem in the culinary desert of Washington County." They're right. If Bethany's Table were jammed in along one of the eastside's restaurant rows, its simple, tasty cuisine would get lost in the shuffle. But since it's hidden in an upscale strip mall in the land of Walgreens and Subway in Bethany, it's an absolute oasis of fresh ingredients and deft cooking for westsiders who don't want to motor across town for a crisp-skinned roast chicken (recently served with a sticky molasses bourbon sauce and peaches) or a juicy no-fuss burger with tasty potato wedges. Most everything here is better than you expect it to be, from the mess of creamy beans and tomato jam under the tender pork shoulder to a rustic, slurp-worthy tomato soup. Pastry chef Amelia Lane makes the best flowerless chocolate cake in Portland, its suburbs and maybe the world.

Wow! There are so many excellent eateries in this town, and we are so honored to be on this list. Thanks to Willamette Week!
