Wildwood Launches Happy Hour With "Garden Grilling"

Wildwood Restaurant & Bar Introduces Tuesday Happy Hour On The Patio

Portland, OR (June 26, 2009) - Beginning June 30, 2009, Wildwood Executive Chef Dustin Clark will fire up his barbecue on the patio every Tuesday, grilling fresh ingredients from local farms, to kick off the restaurant's new weekly happy hour - "Garden Grilling." The Tuesday happy hour menu celebrates seasonal Pacific Northwest ingredients at Portland prices - $5 each.

"It's our first happy hour in years, so we wanted it to embody what the restaurant is about - honoring the seasons," says Hal Finkelstein, Wildwood general manager. At the outdoor grill, Dustin will transform simple ingredients into an experience that celebrates Pacific Northwest cuisine and culture. Garden Grilling happy hour will take place on Wildwood's front patio overlooking NW 21st St. every Tuesday throughout 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.

The kick-off menu includes:

  • Grilled lamb ribs with red harissa ($5)
  • Grilled yogurt marinated chicken, cucumber raita and summer lettuces ($5)
  • Grilled flatbread pizzetta, mozzarella, basil, olive oil and chili flakes ($5)

Wildwood will also begin offering happy hour beverages, including white and red wines ($5), a specialty cocktail ($5) and a select draft beer ($3).

The Garden Grilling menu is only available in the bar and on the patio.
