Thanks to Travel Portland for sending us to sample Portland Dining Month. As always, all opinions are our own.

Portland Dining Month is one of our favorite Portland events. Portland Dining Month is in full swing with 31 days of delicious deals throughout the city. Now in its 10th year, over 140 restaurants offer 3-course dinners for $33 every night of the week throughout the month of March in Portland, OR.

Portland Dining Month is a great opportunity to try a new restaurant or a few new restaurants all while supporting the local economy at a great price. To sweeten the pot, Portland Dining Month is again partnering with Oregon Food Bank, making a donation to the hunger-relief organization for every reservation booked through the OpenTable links on the Portland Dining Month website.

Brooklyn Trattoria, Portland

My husband and I snuck off on a date night earlier this month to Brooklyn Trattoria in the heart of Bethany Village. This upscale Italian restaurant is in NW Portland and makes a lovely date night option with their round booth options lining their back wall.

To check out Portland Dining Month in 2017, my husband and I spent date night at Irving Street Kitchen in the Pearl District. Of the 145-square-miles Portland covers, I've dined at a lot of Portland's amazing eateries, but Irving Street Kitchen was still on my to-do list. This quaint downtown location is soulful new American restaurant anchored in slow cooking and deep flavors. The decor is fun. We loved the bit of a rustic feel with library shelves lined with old books, lighting on old wheels, lots of wood accents. Homey, yet modern.

  • Espresso beignets, smoke salted almond praline bourbon syrup, and cream

For a cocktail I had the Geek in Pink:

  • Bulleit Rye, Aperol, rhubarb shrub, lemon & grapefruit bitters, egg white & Ardbeg rinse

From the atmosphere to the service to the food itself, everything about this meal was perfection. The portions were perfect: not too small, not too large. We're looking forward to a trip back. Irving Street Kitchen is definitely a new favorite dining spot thanks to Portland Dining Month.
