"We chose to enjoy a cocktail and some appetizers at Scotch Lodge before our late reservation for a much-acclaimed tasting menu by a James Beard-winning chef just around the corner. To our delight, the food and experience at Scotch Lodge completely outshone our "fancy" dinner! The atmosphere was reminiscent of some of the more unique bars we've visited in New York City, the food was exceptional, the cocktails were creative, and the service was excellent. We tried the seasonal apricot dish and the toast with whipped lard, both of which were phenomenal. Every bite was a delightful surprise, perfectly balanced in flavor. We are already eagerly anticipating our return to Portland so we can visit this wonderful place again!"
