Reader Survey 2012: The Most Romantic ... - Portland Food and Drink

Ah romance. Candlelight, quiet conversation, flirting. That is my definition, but, judging from the list, many people have other criteria. I looked all the way back to our list from 2006, which was Alba Osteria, Alberta Oyster, Andina, Fenouil, Carlyle, Paley?s, Giorgio?s, Beast, Aquariva and Metrovino. Interesting that three of the restaurants have gone out of business. Based soley on romance, I can?t argue any of the choices, though I?m not sure I would think of OX as romantic. It is nice to see restaurants like DOC, Ned Ludd and Noisette getting some reader love.

"I have a wide-range of food experience - working in the restaurant industry on both sides of the house, later in the wine industry, and finally traveling/tasting my way around the world. Whether you agree or disagree, you can always count on my unbiased opinion. I don't take free meals, and the restaurants don't know when, or if, I am coming."
