North Point owner Noah Talmatch has applied for a liquor license for the steakhouse he has under development on upper Exchange Street called Timber. In his cover letter Talmatch explains,
Timber will be a full services restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch, brunch & dinner.
The menu is varied and will primarily focus on delicious aged steaks and chops. However there will be salads, sides, seafood as well.
You can see the draft menu which Talmatch submitted on page 49 of the meeting materials.
On Monday night the City Council will also consider an expansion of the license for Artemisia Cafe (page 29) and an application from Muse Paint Bar (page 12).
For as much as the owners say they love Portland, $16 quesadillas and burgers sure sounds like they love New York more. Hopefully the draft menu is adjusted by opening or the Grill Room will look like a bargain.
Did you happen to notice some of the earlier pages for a restaurant called Muse at 245 Commercial – unless I’m missing something, that’s where The Salt Exchange is currently located and one of my favorite places in Portland. Now I’m nervous.
No need to worry. Muse Paintbar–a painting instruction space that happens to serve food and drink–is going into the part of 245 Commercial formerly occupied by Color Me Mine.
