Best Fine Dining in Hillsboro

"Chef Cody Auger’s SE Hawthorne sushi counter has become a national destination for Edomae-style sushi: meticulously cured and delicate slivers of fish, potent and pristine in flavor and texture. During the pandemic, Auger transitioned his restaurant into a more accessible format, which means the restaurant’s salt-and-vinegar-cured salmon and wild bluefin tuna arrive alongside maki filled with things like crispy salmon skin, mackerel, and natto. Nimblefish is open for takeout, delivery, and indoor dining."

"Nimblefish does ultra-fresh sushi (most of it flown in from Japan), perfectly seasoned rice, and very little else. Mackerel is wild-caught and then cured and aged in-house; uni, wrapped in nori, is creamy and briny at the same time. Smoked salmon is also cured and smoked (for five minutes at 175 degrees) in-house."

"Paley’s Place serves delicious Pacific Northwest Bistro fare with Southern French and Northern Italian influences, all made from scratch with sustainable, locally-sourced ingredients. Enjoy the warm and inviting setting of the Victorian home the restaurant occupies, while dining on extraordinary dishes, such as grilled red prawns, lamb dumplings, or chilled oysters. Paley’s Place has been an Oregon landmark since it was opened in 1995 by co-owners and Chefs Kimberly and Vitaly Paley – the latter of which you may know from Food Network’s ‘Iron Chef America’."

"The Paleys have lost almost all of their restaurants this year, but the flagship remains in a peaceful Northwest Portland house. Paley’s Place now offers pre-ordered prix-fixe takeout meals abundant with Oregon-grown produce, humanely raised meats, and Pacific Northwestern seafood. In the 25 years Paley’s Place has been open, its mission remains unchanged: The restaurant honors the bounty of this region, supporting the local farmers and ranchers who have also suffered this year."

"From the space to the service, excellent drinks, a good wine list and terrific food, it checks all the boxes. It’s not cheap; most people will spend close to $60 a person before alcohol and tip, but isn’t it worth it to make someone feel special?. Get a reservation or you’ll end up squeezing into the bar."

"Where to take your visiting food snob friends who stare down their noses at food carts, cement floors, and open beam architecture. Castagna has become Portland’s modernist/naturalist institution. Owner Monique Siu deserves all credit for her acuity at selecting two chefs in a row with the talent to make it work and sticking with stylish fine dining that is increasingly uncool."

"While pasta doesn’t seem the most intuitive cuisine for a food cart, but L’unico Almentari at the Cartside Food Carts more than pulls it off. In addition to the fresh made pasta dishes like the spaghetti aglio e olio — light and delicate with a subtle heat — or the orecchiette al sugo — a rich and warming dish with tender bits of stewed beef in a sweet tomato sauce — the food cart also serves Italian sandwiches, including meatball, chicken parmigiana, and a vegetarian mushroom crostino. L’unico offers pick-up and delivery, and the Cartside Tap House offers seating and drinks."
