In 2013, chef Kevin Gibson left the cozy confines of Evoe, the sandwich shop and small plates bar attached to Southeast Hawthorne’s Pastaworks, to take a gamble on a full-fledged restaurant in the East Burnside space once home to June. The move has paid off handsomely. On a balmy Friday evening, Gibson and Davenport partner/bartender/sommelier/Jack of all Trades Kurt Heilemann oversee a warm, revitalized dining room, a place where locals linger over roasted vegetables, braised meats and Dionysian levels of fantastic wine. Davenport’s collection of Euro-centric dishes can seem random, though there’s some intense seasonality at play plus a healthy dash of Gibson’s whim. There’s aren’t really any must-try dishes here — the menu changes too much — though you might find good local oysters, velvety soups or the city’s best seasonal fritto misto. Turns out, Gibson’s small plates at Evoe scale up well. If they’re on the menu, consider the rare slices of teres major steak; the delicately seared scallops; or the coq au vin, with achingly tender chicken and morels soaked in a rich, heavenly sauce

Hands down this is my favorite restaurant in Portland. They serve small plates and encourage you to share. I encourage you to share! You really want to try everything on the menu. Their wine guy is fantastic a pairing the plates to YOUR palette as well, which is such a lovely bonus.
