I normally don't venture too far out into SE Portland, but after all of the reviews I heard about this restaurant off of SE Division St, I knew we had to go sometime soon. It was awesome that one Saturday morning Shane got a text from his mom inviting us to meet them at Woodsman Tavern that evening, and luckily we didn't have plans! We heard about this place on the news and knew that it had been rated one of GQ magazine's top ten restaurants, and that reservations are hard to come by.

| Seafood display---there are whole crabs and shrimp in there! Plus a view of the tavern:) |
 |
| Lovely paintings of Oregon adorn the walls |
 |
| I ordered some type of coffee martini because it was only 5:30pm and I was TIRED. |
 |
| Everyone raves about the deviled eggs, and they didn't disappoint! |
 |
| Shane and his dad had to get the oysters. They loved them. |
 |
| This is my olive oil, rock shrimp, avocado, radish and arugula salad. It was delicious and very filling even though it looks somewhat small. |
 |
| Pork Chop: man this was a huge piece of meat! The grilled leeks were also really yummy |
 |
| The Trout. Oh Man. this was so tasty. They said it has been on the menu since they opened and always a hit! |
 |
| Brown Butter Almond Cake for dessert. YUM! It was delicious. |
This place was totally a Portland scene! The servers were 'so Portland' if you know what I mean. The food was out of this world. They also served cocoa dusted almonds with our bill, which I thought was a great little touch. I would love to go back to this place and try the Seafood Platter, which looked amazing! Has anyone tried this place?

I haven't been, but now it's on my list of places to go!
Yum! We were actually going to go to the Woodsman's Tavern last time we were in town, but we ended up going to some other similar type trendy restaurant that I can't for the life of me remember the name of...but I definitely want to try the Woodsman's Tavern soon! I haven't spent as much time in SE Portland, but every time we're there it seems like we find some new gems on that side of town!
I love Tahoe, but both Cam and I are just like ready to move to Oregon already haha :)
