Bistro 23
We specialize in using the most natural local products we can find and put them together with some of our favorite flavors in order to create a great meal. A little bit of sandwiches, salads, pizza and entrees based on season, not to mention a unique selection of local microbrews.
Basilisk
Looking for some chicken mania? Then head straight away to Basilisk. Just as legendary as the Harry Potter chicken monster it is named after, Basilisk surely delivers a curve ball. Their juicy, super hot Fried Chicken sandwich is definitely the best and if paired with fries, you will relish it even more. Hot wings laced with sauce and Hot chicken are equally order worthy dishes on its small menu. Basilisk also serves a vegan fries option- Dan Dan fries, and vegetarian options, although they are not the specialty.

Redwood
Redwood has a creative menu made from scratch. Chilaquiles, potato pancakes, fried Brussels sprouts, and our house veggie burger are just a few of our favorites. We like to keep things fresh, seasonal, and fun by creating weekly specials.
After some research it became clear that Portland was the ideal place. After moving to Oregon in the fall of 2003, Sara and Jordan scoped out the town, worked hard in local restaurants, and developed their menu for their new restaurant. Neither of them had ever managed a restaurant, let alone owned one. They attended small business meetings, talked to accountants, restaurant owners and local wing connoisseurs. People asked them if Portland was ready for a wing joint. Others suggested they should have stuck with their previous occupations. The naysayers fueled Sara and Jordan's passion for opening their restaurant even more. On the first day of 2005, the first customers walked through the doors of Fire on the Mountain Buffalo Wings. In the early days, there were just a couple cooks and Sara and Jordan were the only front of house staff. Fast forward to 2011 where Fire on the Mountain Buffalo Wings has become a Portland institution with three restaurants and close to 100 employees. FOTM still possesses the same passion to provide customers with a fun, easygoing restaurant to enjoy our delicious food and great service.
