Portland Bar Guide has published a review of Walter’s.

Our server was attentive, but hardly overbearing, and helped us narrow down the drink choices while we relaxed in our cushy chairs. The bar menu was satisfying and I was quite happy with my Walter’s experience. I’m sure you will be too.

The Portland Phoenix has published a review of Po’Boys & Pickles.

…the new Po’ Boys & Pickles offers a formula for short-term buzz, and perhaps long-term loyalty: have a clear and distinctive vision and stick to it. In recent weeks, every time I mentioned Po’ Boys someone piped up to say they have been wanting to try that place. And everyone liked it once they got there. Po’ Boys gets the details of a New Orleans sandwich shop right, without an off-putting authenticity obsession.

Edible Obsessions has published a review of the donuts at The French Press Eatery.

Words cannot describe how f’ing good these are. The base of the doughnuts are dense, without being heavy and the outsides are crunchy, yet not greasy. To say that these are the perfect doughnut would not be an exaggeration. Then add on the toppings and you are well into the realm of pure gluttony.

Dine In Portland has published a review of Nosh Kitchen Bar.

In sum, the food is fantastic, atmosphere loud, and we’ve seen many people walk in and right out. If you are one of those individuals, turn around and wait for a table – you will not regret it.

Appetite Portland has published a review of Homegrown Herb & Tea.

Drawn back to Homegrown again on Saturday, I tried one of the limited-time seasonal tisanes that had caught my eye the day before. Dense with coconut milk and the scent of lavender, the Coco-Kava was a revelation. Creamy and lightly spiced with cocoa and sedating kava-kava, the milky liquid was slightly sweet and soothing to both body and mind.

The Blueberry Files has published a review of Nosh Kitchen Bar,

While I really love the transformation of the space from the old, kinda cold and dark White Heart to a cozy, warm, well-lit space that meshes kitchen, bar, and restaurant well, I don’t see myself frequenting the place unless I hear that my next $10 won’t yield me disappointing results again.

and Cornucopasetic has published a microreview and had this to say about the pork belly reuben.

From those ingredients it should have been a legendary sandwich to tell my grand children about, but it somehow ended up being just okay.
