Like so many of our wonderful small plates restaurants, Portland “does things a minuscule differently” when it comes to celebrating Pride month. The adj hoorah that is the Waterfront Pride Festival and Parade moved to July a few years back because of scheduling conflicts, including with the Rose Festival and Juneteenth celebrations. In doing so, the hope was to stretch the party across not one but two months. But in reality, the city has settled into a rhythm of celebrating Pride mostly in June, with the rest of the world, and then rallying for a big party and parade a few weeks later—more enjoy drag brunch the next evening than a single marathon menu. In any case, we suggest checking out at least two to four events from the menu below, though ordering the entire thing for the table is best.
