From the Restaurant Site...
With corporate chains and noisy mega-restaurants dominating the American dining scene, Paley’s Place in Portland, Oregon, is a refreshing change. By opening a restaurant with only 50 seats, Vitaly and Kimberly Paley have made a commitment to creativity and flexibility in cuisine, sophistication in service, and intimacy in the dining experience. The warm environment can be enjoyed via the front porch, open air patio, bar/bistro, both dining rooms. The back room may be reserved for private events, holding up to 22 guests… The Paleys chose Portland for their own restaurant because of the Pacific Northwest’s wealth of high quality ingredients…
Paley’s Place Bistro and Bar is located in a Victorian house in one of Portland’s historic neighborhoods. Kimberly and Vitaly welcome guests to dine on the large front porch or retreat to an intimate table in one of the two dining rooms. Seating is also available in the bistro and bar area – the perfect spot to be cozy, sip a glass of wine, and enjoy a lighter meal…
Vitaly Paley draws inspiration for his menu from the local bounty of the Pacific Northwest — from Columbia River line-caught wild salmon to fingerling potatoes from Eastern Oregon and Kobe beef from Idaho. The menu focus is on local, organic and sustainable practices. Dinner guests are invited to choose the half portion size of many entrees for a lighter way to sample the menu.
