ReplyDeleteWord of mouth- No competition!! This morning I had the best ever Eggs Benedict for $4. The only downside is way too small- I wish they would put one out South!
ReplyDeleteWord of Mouth for best all around and Willamette Burger Co. for best new restaurant. Keep up the good work guys!
ReplyDeleteLe Capitale gets my vote for something different Salem needed. Great appetizers and bar area for Happy Hour small get together, and fairly affordable upscale meals in a downtown space.
ReplyDeleteWord of Mouth is a good runner up. Salem loves a breakfast spot.

Oh, and I forgot: Willamette Noodle Company
ReplyDeleteOh, and I can't forget this one: Venti's!!
ReplyDeleteFirst: La Capitale
ReplyDeleteSecond: Word of Mouth
Third: Morton's
Word of Mouth #1 - Why? Just a really good place overall. Food and atmosphere. I've only been there for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteLa Capitale #2 - Why? I either love or hate the food there, but I do appreciate the whole package.
Christo #3 - Why? Been going there for years, but I love the new location. When I am in the wine/gourmet pie mood. They now have better hours and my wife loves a nice glass of wine.
SFNY Pizza #4 - Why? I have been going there for 20 some years and in the past they were only open 12-5 weekdays only. Trying to get a slice wasn't easy. Now they are open seven days a week at three different shops. This is a big deal for a new yorker stuck on the west coast, that loves his slices.
