This smart and unpretentious tapas restaurant brightens an otherwise quiet street in Portland’s East Side with its inviting ruby-red walls and polished dark wood tables. Chef John Gorham uses local ingredients to create Spanish-inspired dishes like marinated sheep’s cheese with rose-petal harissa and mint. There’s also an incredible paella tossed with chicken, chorizo, clams, shrimp and mussels.
