Blue Hour Portland currently sits in the my top ten restaurants in the world list. Last night my brother Ian and I has the opportunity to enjoy this dining experience for the first time at the recommendation of our Board member Ralph Shaw, who claimed this to be the best dining in Portland.
This restaurant is the package. Its Low lit trendy ambiance, impeccable service, exquisite dining (thanks to Co-founder and Chef Kenny Giambalvo) makes eating here a very memorable experience. Ian and I actually were honored by several visits from Chef Giambavlo (who initially came to thank us for passing along Ralph’s best).
We started with Tuna Tartar and a half dozen Oysters on the Half Shell. Ian then ordered their Pork Osso Buco and I enjoyed braised Lamb Loin. For wine, we originally were going to order a bottle of 2003 Joseph Phelps Insignia. However, the Sommelier steered us to procure a bottle of 1995 Niebaum Coppola Rubicon. Absolutely amazing! We ended the evening with a desert that was basically apple filled pastries with carmel ice cream. I really regret not grabbing a menu so that I could have been more explicit with what we ate.
