Top 10 Best New Restaurants 2010

"Part steakhouse, part butcher shop, 100 percent ode to all things meat - this is "The Year In Food" distilled into a single restaurant. All the good steakhouse cliches (fun, raucous) without all the bad ones (super-expensive, boys' club). - Andrew Knowlton

Best Restaurants 2009

"Few restaurants so beautifully exemplify Portland's jam-session creativity as this new eatery. Portland is a city of carnophiles. And as the weekend crowds attest, Laurelhurst Market is their new shrine - equal parts American brasserie, butcher counter, lunchtime sandwich shop, and neighborhood diner. It's a steak-house for the rest of us - and our favorite new restaurant of 2009. - Mike Thelin

Instead of lavish steakhouse theater, the mode is neighborhood friendly but casually polished, from the butcher counter up to the bustling, boot-strapping dining room. For experimenters, the teeny back bar is a lab for forward-thinking, he-man cocktails, the best of them a Tennessee whiskey chilled by one outsized ice cube that jumps with the flavor of wood smoke. - Karen Brooks
