Prost – Portland, OR

Is it possible for a restaurant to undersell itself too much? We’ve all seen the opposite – restaurants promising food that will blow your head off, then delivering a meal that at best gives your forehead a light tap. But it feels a lot more rare to encounter a place that only gives you a glimpse of what they can do, saving the real show until you actually get there and experience it. In fact, it’s rare enough that I never really thought about how rare it is until I wrote this review. So, what exactly happened, and how did it lead to an incredibly fun meal? I’ve got all the details . . . at Mile 135.
