Under the helm of Peruvian-born executive chef Alex Diestra, who has worked in some of Portland’s top kitchens including Clarklewis and Andina, The Tavern continues Heathman’s tradition of a local gathering place. Its menu celebrates the Pacific Northwest’s fresh, seasonal bounty by sourcing meat, seafood, and produce from local partners including Corfini Meat & Seafood, Salmon Creek Farm & Apiary, and Groundwork Organics. Whether grabbing dinner before a show at the Schnitzer, hosting a business dinner, or leisurely enjoying weekend brunch, The Tavern embodies the sophisticated yet approachable spirit that has made Portland a culinary destination.
