Editorial Review for Park Kitchen – by Ivy Manning
In Short
The restaurant features a narrow room fronted by a steel-and-glass garage door, lime-green walls, mink-soft leather banquettes and the hum of an open kitchen and happy diners, nibbling on small plates. Everything is farmers' market fresh: Morels in a cream sauce over toast; a paper cone of crisp green-bean tempura; raw halibut carpaccio with lemon oil; and beef ribs paired with Bing cherries and beer. For desserts try the popular red wine-cherry and cream-cheese tart.

Upon the recommendation of friends we tried Park Kitchen on Friday night with another couple. As I had not heard of Park Kitchen, I researched it on Citysearch. I liked the reviews - mostly very positive - and I emailed for the current menu. Upon receipt of the menu my wife & I agreed that it was "interesting". We are not overly adventurous in our dining and were not sure what we would enjoy based on the menu. We actually considered changing to a new restaurant - but that would be too boring so we decided to leave our comfort zone for an evening - thank goodness we did! Everyone had a fabulous evening. Our waitress was excellent - very helpful w/out being overbearing. As we were out of our comfort zone - I relied on the waitress for suggestions - and she was a great help. The ladies started with cocktails suggested by the waitress. One of the ladies did not enjoy the cocktail - so without hesitation the waitress took it back, brought her another drink that she loved and did not charge us for the first drink. My friend & I each brought a bottle of wine to enjoy ($20 corkage)

We love GREAT food and service and found it here on our two visits over the last three months. We were somewhat hesitant the 1st time (February 16th) due to a few comments read on Portland City Search; however we experienced nothing but outstanding food preparation and service (a great balance of attention without hovering); we sat at a counter looking directly into the kitchen food preparation area and enjoyed watching the process of meal preparation and presentation. On our 2nd visit (April 15th), we arrived early and were promptly seated and presented with a specially printed menu calling attention to our special occasion. The menu offerings were creative and different on each visit; the “Cooks Choice” was a great experience and a chance for a sampling of the various full offerings. We have no issues with “special diets”; we dine out for a chance to experience new selections and really great cooking and service, and we found just that at the Park Kitchen.
Pros: Food preparation/presentation and Service (balanced)
Cons: Parking; meters are read up until 7 pm (even on Saturday); lighten up Portland
