With 15 years in the restaurant business I am not easiy impressed by restaurants so they have to be doing some really right to get my attention. There are a few in Portland that have over the last few years and last night I hit another. Simply a perfect evening out on their patio on a wonderful September evening. The food was perfect, service beyond compare with the balance of always there but not bothering you. Really this place is the place to visit.
Downsides?
It is gonna cost you. I was prepared for spendy, and while nothing on the menu really price shocked me the cumalative effect of just hanging out and ordering without care sure did add up fast.
Try it if your in town sometime.

Lucier sounds scrumptious. I'll have to check it out next time I'm in town.
It was a nice visit, by the way. Altogether too short, though. Can't get over how much inner-southeast has changed. Condos and chi-chi shops everywhere!
As to your question regarding home-buying and Denver neighborhoods, I guess the first area that springs to mind is Five Points. It's quite similar to Irvington and other sections of NE Portland, only somewhat less gentrified. You'd definitely have to be in urban pioneering-mode, if you were to move there.
As I'm not what you'd call an expert on these matters, I'll go ahead and consult my significant other, who has lived here for 20 years, and get back to you.
