Editorial Review for Le Pigeon – by Annamaria Pardini

In Short
The romance of 1900s Paris comes to this small dining room steps away from busy East Burnside. Vintage chairs, cast-iron tables, gilded mirrors and silver candlesticks add to the shabby-chic decor. Lovers rendezvous at the candlelit tables, while single foodies chat with the chef over the open-kitchen bar. Dinners range from straightforward burgers to cedar-planked chicken or spiced squab with bacon-wrapped pork medallions. Inventive desserts include honey-apricot-bacon cornbread with maple ice cream.

the promising food was ruined by the condescending waitstaff. getting talked back to AND pressured to leave in order to seat more people was enough for me to never return.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I read numerous reviews and had mixed feelings about going but glad I did. The food was superb, I had the scalops for the starter, they were soft, buttery and tasted like they just came from the ocean, the person I came with had the romain, lightly roasted on the grill with a buttery / salty dressing, simple but very flavorfull. My main course was the Steak, it was a little tough side but taste was excellent, it was atop pearl onions with a horse radish suace that I could have easily licked the plate clean of. Partner had the Cous Cous. Service was great although there is a "cocky" sense about the place, the hipster / Faux I'm cool / anti establishment aura that I am frankly "sick" of iPortland is there but not so much that It affected the overall great evening of dinning.
