Jake's Famous Crawfish (Seafood)

$$ - Jake's Famous Crawfish Restaurant was established in Portland, Oregon in 1892, and it remains a Northwest tradition as it continues to expand (under the name of McCormick and Schmick's) to become one of America's best-known restaurants. Jake's fresh seafood menu has a list of over 30 items ranging from spearfish and prawn brochettes with habanero barbecue sauce to stuffed prawns with Jamaican spices. A selection of Oregon wines is also available.

Genoa (Italian)

$$$$ - The first thing you'll notice at the award-winning Genoa, is there is no printed menu for their seven-course meal. As dinner begins, your waiter will describe the evening's three choices of entrees. Then after the antipasto, you will be served the remaining courses: soup, pasta, fish or salad, the entree, dessert, and fruit. Reservations are required, and although there is no dress code, many gentlemen wear jackets and ties.

Marrakesh Moroccan Restaurant (Moroccan)

$$ - Enjoy traditional dishes from Morocco, a town in the northwestern corner of Africa, in an atmosphere adorned with richly-textured Moroccan rugs, ornate silver urns, and tapestries. Live belly-dancing on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.

Tony Roma's (American)

$$ - "One weekend back in the '70's, Chef David Smith and Tony Roma decided to throw some baby backs on the grill. It was only going to be a temporary thing, using Chef David's own secret barbeque recipe." The rest, as they say, is history. My favorite flame-grilled menu item? Bountiful Beef Ribs!
