Tasty treats for everyone

Published Feb. 7, 2010 at 1:10 a.m.

It may not look like much on the outside, but Old Wives Tales has some seriously great stuff going on inside. I've gone for breakfast (German pancake with lemon sauce = amazing) and lunch and have never left hungry or disappointed. The prices are a little higher than I'd like to pay for a sandwich ($11-13ish), but the flavors make up for setting aside budget restraints for the day.A big plus for many in the Portland area, is that they have a large variety of gluten free (almost 90% of their

Published Feb. 7, 2010 at 1:09 a.m.

Sagittarius is that bar you're happy to have in your neighborhood. It's small and perfect for a few close friends to gather, but doesn't feel overcrowded. As long as the conversation is roaring, you won't care about the slightly slower service, and with a Mac & Jacks ale and Rosemary Mac(aroni and cheese) order in front of you, you'll be worry free.Word to the wise: bring cash. They accept cards, but no more than two per table and they don't take reservations, but a heads up call could aid your

Fun spot with killer trivia night

Published Feb. 7, 2010 at 1:08 a.m.

La Merde, the lounge adjacent to Bistro Montage, is a funky, low-key little bar that is pretty much perfect. For starters, Montage's full menu (cajun specialities, great salads, oyster shooters ... ) is available in the bar. Then there are the drinks -- a long-enough list of creative and always delicious cocktails, all made with super-fresh ingredients like fresh-squeezed citrus, grated ginger or bergamot-infused vodka (yum!). Bar manager/mixologist/angel Melissa keeps the whole place humming
