Amazing review of Wildwood Restaurant & Bar by Downtown Monthly Editor Janet Filips! She hit on all of Wildwood’s great offerings – seasonal food and drink with a warm atmosphere. As we are sad to see that this is the last issue of the Downtown Monthly, we are happy to see this section close with a review of one of Portland’s most well-known and well-loved restaurants.
Tonight’s happy hour at Wildwood looks amazing! Chef Dustin Clark will be outside on the patio grilling up some tasty dishes. Check out tonight’s menu below.

Wildwood also offers a variety of drinks on their happy hour menu, including a white and red wine, cocktail and selection of beers.
Each Tuesday for the past two weeks Wildwood’s new Garden Grilling happy hour has enticed this young LAD to put in a little time off the clock.
Ok, I haven’t actually been working (as demonstrated by the $2 bottle of Session Black gracing my table) …
… but regardless I’ve found it impossible to miss Wildwood’s exhibition of garden grilling at its finest. Their menu offers delicious gourmet dishes using seasonal ingredients at prices that well, even an intern can afford.
On June 30th we enjoyed three dishes (all $5 each) from the kickoff menu including:
• Grilled lamb ribs with red harissa
• Grilled yogurt marinated chicken, cucumber raita and summer lettuces
• Grilled flatbread pizzetta, mozzarella, basil, olive oil and chili flakes
I couldn't wait to take a nib
Garden Grilling happy hour takes place on Wildwood’s front patio overlooking NW 21st St. every Tuesday throughout the rest of the summer from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The new value-oriented happy hour menu offers three new dishes each week, depending on what the farmers deliver. Wildwood is also now offering happy hour beverages, including white and red wines ($5), a specialty cocktail ($5) and a select draft beer ($3).
We caught them in their natural habitat!
