Tickets at the Schnitz? Taking out-of-town colleagues to dinner and want to show off culinary Portland? Celebrating an anniversary/engagement/birthday? The food is fresh, seasonal and creative. The service is top-notch. The atmosphere in the dining room is upscale without being snooty. The bar is casual enough for dinner on the fly (or a late bite), but with food that's every bit as delightful as that in its more formal neighbor. Hats off to Higgins.
