Classic American Comfort Food with a NorthWest Flair
Situated on the main floor of the Gordon Hotel, they have a nice menu, upscale dining experience and I highly recommend their weekend brunch! Only downside is even if the place is empty, plan to take your time here - food service is on the slower side.

The Davis Restaurant & Bar
94 W BroadwayThis is one of the best places to go have drinks and nibbles. I don't recommend eating a meal there (their entrees are just ok), but LOVE their drinks and appetizers - the guac, chips, dips are all fantastic. The ambience is also fantastic (it's the rooftop bar at the Gordon Hotel downtown - walk into the hotel and take the elevator to the top floor).
