Answer 4

It really depends on what kind of food you like.  Try livepdx.com.  It's a pretty great site for what your looking for.  I myself like Isabels in the Pearl.  They just started doing happy hour and are open 7 day's a week.  But I'm partial to it since my husband is now the head chef there ;-)

Answer 5

Ringside has the best steaks, also excellent onion rings and great ambience as well.  Start with a large dry martini and settle in for a fantastic meal.
