Looking forward to Fore Street
She and I have birthdays a day apart. I turn “just shy of 30″ today, and she turns “I’ve still got some time until I hit 30″ tomorrow. As our birthday gifts to each other, we’ve reservations at Fore Street for dinner tonight. This is one of the more difficult restaurants in Portland to get a table (unless you go as a walk-in at 5:00 and are ready to wait for several hours), and we’re excited. In 2002, Fore Street was named Number 16 in Gourmet Magazine’s Top Fifty Restaurants of the United States. In 2004, Chef-partner Sam Hayward was named Best Chef: Northeast by the James Beard Foundation, so expectations are high.
We’ve eaten at one of its sister restaurants, Street & Co., and were quite happy with the experience. There is no set menu, as the chef’s choose the best ingredients available on a given day to create the dinners for the evening, so we’re not really sure what to expect. Everything we’ve heard has been positiv, so we’re looking forward to it. You can be sure I’ll share our impressions in an upcoming post.
