Portland Magazine has published a review of Walter’s.

We swing back to the Mediterranean with a flawless Milano linguine ($14/21), tossed in tangy lemon butter with tender shrimp, spinach, artichokes, tear-drop tomatoes, feta, olives, and capers. The perfectly seared gnocchi fungi ($9/19) is also an audience-pleaser, with an earthy cream sauce jumping with chanterelles, pine nuts, and fresh parsley.

The Blueberry Files has written a review of the Sicilian  Slab pizza at Micucci’s.

Except for when I got home and sat down to take that first much-awaited bite of slab. Insert hyperbole here! Angels sang, trumpets played, rainbows squirted across the sky!

From Away has published a review of Po’Boys & Pickles.

So the big question: Is Po’ Boys and Pickles serving authentic New Orleans-style fried seafood Po’ boys? Miunno. Po’ Boys and Pickles is, however serving unbelievably delicious, crunchy oyster and shrimp sandwiches, with a lot of thought and care given to both the menu, the food, and your experience. We were asked no less than three times by the staff if we enjoyed everything, not because they were pushy, but because the staff at Po’ Boys and Pickles seems to genuinely care about what they’re doing and the kind of food they’re producing.

Vin et Grub has published a review of Sonny’s.

I took Annie to dinner where we both indulged in the Chili Poblano Cheesburgers, with house fries, and pickled veggies for our entree.  I love the inclusion of pickled anything, but especially pickled radishes which were just what I needed.  They were sour and tart, but still retained a bit of the spiciness from the original radish.

Appetite Portland has published a 7-point review of Pai Men Miyake.

2. Ramen like it should be. All three ramen bowls (pork, miso, soy) are tasty with nicely cooked noodles, but my favorite is the heady Soy. The salt in the soy kicks the fat and marrow in the broth into high gear and keeps the rich oil front and center as you slurp. Shake in a dash of white pepper and the complexity intensifies – releasing a burst of scallion and spices. Lean over the steaming bowl and just inhale for awhile. I swear this soup could cure anything that ails ya – cold, hangover, bad temper. . .
