When it comes to dining with your parents, the least they could do is treat you to a place that doesn’t have paper napkins. Check out these nice restaurants that you’ll both love:
Brasserie Montmartre — Because French food just tends to leave an impression. The interior stuns with checkerboard floors, mood lighting and romantic furniture. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch a night with live music, or be amused by the person going around doing little magic tricks.@@www.brasserieportland.com/@@
El Gaucho — This elegant steakhouse keeps it basic with quality chops and also a variety of seafood. If you don’t mind splurging a little, you won’t be disappointed by the results.@@http://www.elgaucho.com/index.html@@
Portland City Grill — Located on the 30th floor of a skyscraper, they offer an amazing view of the city and a variety of entrees to choose from, including steak and sushi. There’s also a great happy-hour menu for dining on a budget.@@www.portlandcitygrill.com/@@
