Kudos for Lauro from The Willamette Week Restaurant Guide

From the 2010 Restaurant Guide: "Lauro's clean, open space, savvy Mediterranean menu and hardworking professional servers have brought some welcome urbanity to Southeast Portland dining. Try the butter lettuce salad with ripe avocado and tarragon vinaigrette or, the moist, tender chicken breast stuffed with herbed goat cheese and served with braised spinach and tart quince sauce. Coupled with ample, moderately priced portions, chef David Machado's formula has created legions of repeat customers."
