About the restaurant

Don’s Favorite Foods is a prix-fixe restaurant created by husband and wife team Chef Don Salamone and Kate Laurents in partnership with Sommelier Adam Galbraith.
Cocktails courtesy of Jeffrey Morgenthaler & "Banjo" Amberg.

Our menu changes monthly and highlights dishes Don grew up with as well as those he mastered though working at Michelin-starred restaurants across the country.

From Don: You may find gnocchi like my Ma used to make or Italian sausage modeled after my Godfather’s, Oreste “Ernie” Capone. You might find scallops still in their shells, Oregon pork in the style of Braciole, & popovers I learned to make from my mother-in-law, Terry, because she makes those every Christmas morning... beef tartare, sea urchin, caviar, etc too. These things are all my favorites.

We hope you’ll find your new favorites here too.

*Note- if you are using a gift certificate to book you must email reservations@donsfavoritefoods.com - do not book through OpenTable. Thank you!*

Fort George Brewery And Public House

Pizzeria

Astoria

About the restaurant

Open Table Reservations are for the Upstairs Pizzeria where our pizza menu is available.
Our downstairs space is separate and is first-come, first-served. Our pub menu is available downstairs only.

Fort George opened its doors to Astoria as both a brewery and a public house, and that desire to serve the community continues to this day. The brewers and pub staff here share a common goal, to create a welcoming space where anyone in town can pull up a stool and enjoy a pint and a bite to eat. We take pride in our house-made offerings and our hospitality, and we’re always looking for improvements that bring us one step closer to perfection. It’s a goal Sisyphus could appreciate, even if he doesn’t have as much fun pushing that rock as we do rolling those kegs. And that’s why we like to call Fort George beer the best beer you’ve had today. Tomorrow it will only be better.

Food was amazing. The acoustics were a little much which made it hard to hear or have a quiet conversation, but the service and flavor more than made up for it.

Our dinner at Cuvee was exceptional as usual. The food is delicious (the octopus appetizer was the star of the show!) and the service attentive, but not overwhelming.

Really great meal and inviting atmosphere where middle eastern flavor meets innovation. 5 of us shared about 10 dishes, with the beet salad, little gem salad, creamy hummus, and smoky eggplant spread served with pillowy, fresh pita, then the crispy potatoes & extraordinary safayeh followed by shakshuka, chicken shawarma and hangar steak, and half the desserts on the menu. Can't even begin to describe how satisfying and delicious it all was. The service was perfection. Go!

Davenport is always an exceptional experience. This time, we brought friends specifically to eat the nettles dumplings -- a seasonal treat that chef Kevin Gibson nails every time. Said friends were blown away, and we were impressed anew. Everything else was remarkable, too -- vegetables fresh and bright, halibut cooked to perfection, wine that was complex and deeply satisfying. The dedication to bringing out the best in seasonal foods is obvious, and the kitchen's light touch is greatly appreciated.

About the restaurant

We believe in living a clean, natural and organic lifestyle mirroring that of the old world, where people eat only local foods. Most of our ingredients are certified organic and we source from local farmers to promote sustainability. We want to showcase how fertile the Southern Oregon valley is and the amazing bounty available from local farmers.

We're excited to share our wine and food knowledge with Southern Oregon. We want to educate anyone willing to learn on wines of the world as well as how they compare to local wines. We will strive to constantly create new menu items and wine pairings.
