I love Bye & Bye and so I'm super excited about their new spot! The menu looks just as bar casual as the Bye & Bye, but maybe a little more refined. Have you been? What did you think?

PS If anyone has the menu can you post it? I can't find it again!

here's the food menu...

(via pdx pipeline)

I like this place a lot so far! I have some pics of our meals last night I'll post later.I had a Steve Martin for dinner and it was great.

I'm exceedingly happy that they brought the North Williams drink to the new location. Probably gonna go for an early dinner today.

I like the space itself a lot. Enough dark corners to make me feel comfortable, but a nice breeze going through.

Great menu, and so cheap! Damn, I really need to extend my August PDX trip. Looking forward to your review, jdfunks!

Looks great! I always order one of three things that I love at Bye and Bye. It's awesome that the menu is so different, but the flavor combinations seem like they'd be just as satisfying. I can't wait to try it!

Haha you guys are so cute planning ahead!

vijita · **Posted:** Fri Jul 29, 2011 4:57 pm

Tofu Banh Mi with a side of gentrified coconut kale.

(whoever made this is a genius)

Possibly a Panelle.

You guys are going to come visit Portland and only try part of the menu? I don't think I could leave the town unless I tried it all!

I do not know what I would get, but it would likely include two meals.

jdfunks · **Posted:** Fri Jul 29, 2011 8:23 pm

I love when bars serve kale.

jdfunks · **Posted:** Fri Jul 29, 2011 8:27 pm

oh yeah, and the North Williams made it onto the menu! I had one last night.

yay.

I had the Tofu Bahn Mi, a Paloma (margarita), and a I think it was called Tequila Old Fashioned? All were really yummy! The drinks feel pretty pricey though, at about $8 a pop. And it looks like you don't get a discount on them during their happy hour. Everything actually seemed just a bit more expensive than the Bye and Bye. I tried my partners Steve Martin and let me tell you you'll only like it i you love mayo. Suuuper mayo-y. He loves mayo so it wasn't a problem! Not I though! I also tried some of the Company Daiquiri, it was really good too.

I actually dreamed about this place?! I know, I'm weird. Panders and KJ and Funkalicious and FootFace were there. Katie had two meals, and so did I. There were dogs everywhere and poor FootFace was allergic.

$8 doesn't sounds excessive to me, but fancier drinks in Vancouver are like $10.

I'm excited! The only thing I find weird is the chips & salsa sides with everything. But I'll sub gentrified kale, sir. Is this where we're going on the Thursday night?

jdfunks · **Posted:** Sat Jul 30, 2011 2:24 pm

I'm not normally a mayo-fan, but I guess it didn't bother me? I noticed it was tangier (miso) than normal, but my sandwich wasn't slathered..so yay?

The only other complaint I've heard so far (and from a few folks) is how hard it can be to find a seat!

jdfunks · **Posted:** Sat Jul 30, 2011 2:49 pm

photographic evidence of yum:

Bye and Bye was one of the best meals I had in Portland and I'm going to start a separate savings fund for a flight and walkin' around money. This all looks so good.

Muffin-Tuffin · **Posted:** Sat Jul 30, 2011 10:23 pm

Is the mayo Veganaise do you think? That's the only brand I don't mind extra of.

Mars · **Posted:** Sat Jul 30, 2011 10:27 pm

Pdx is definitely cheaper than Vancouver for food and drink. Those drinks felt about a buck too much. (but people are going to pay that, so of course I agree it's the smart thing for them to do.)

Pretty sure it's Vegenaise.

Best part about this joint? WALKING DISTANCE.

Yeah, what is this? Kale cooked with coconut milk? Or topped with shredded coconut? I'm curious about this.

And about the North Williams. What's in that?

I just really like torturing myself with awesome-sounding food and drink that is on the other side of the country.
