Wildwood Restaurant and Bar,[1] or simply Wildwood, was a Pacific Northwest and New American restaurant in Portland, Oregon, in the United States.[2] [3] Operating from 1994 to 2014, the restaurant earned owner and founding chef Cory Schreiber a James Beard Foundation Award nomination in the Best Chef: Northwest category. Wendy Culverwell of Portland Business Journal described Wildwood as "a pioneer in the farm-to-table food movement".[4]

Description

Wildwood served Pacific Northwest and New American cuisine on 21st Avenue in northwest Portland's Northwest District.[5] [6] In 2008, Body & Soul described the restaurant as "upscale" with a "casual, Northwest feel".[7] The restaurant was noted for locally sourced food from the region, and both a traditional wood-fired oven and clay tandoor.[8] The menu included chicken, lamb, pork loin, rabbit, steak, salmon and other seafood[9] such as mussels with saffron, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes.[10] [11] Other ingredients included abalone, Chioggia beets, crayfish, and shell beans.[12]

History

Chef Cory Schreiber opened in Wildwood in May 1994.[13] Jesse Dodson was head baker as of 2001.[14] Dustin Clark became chef in October 2006.[15] Jennifer Welshhons was the pastry chef as of 2010.[16]

The restaurant closed on February 25, 2014.[17] [18] [19] Samantha Bakall of The Oregonian said "lease negotiations were not met with an agreement".[20]

Reception

In 1995, Wildwood was named Restaurant of the Year by The Oregonian.[21] Schreiber received a James Beard Foundation Award in the Best Chef: Northwest category in 1998.[22] The restaurant received Nation's Restaurant News Fine Dining Hall of Fame designation in 2003.[23]

The guide book Northwest Best Places (1995) rates Wildwood three stars.[24] Best Places Portland (2001) and Best Places Northwest (2004) both rated the restaurant 3.5 out of 4 stars.[25] [26] In the 2005 book Insiders' Guide to Portland, Oregon, Rachel Dresbeck and Dave Johnson described Wildwood as a " destination spot" with "a loyal following".[27] The authors of Explorer's Guide Oregon Wine Country (2011, 2013) called Wildwood "a champion for cooking from the source."[28] [29]

David Sarasohn of The Oregonian gave Wildwood a 'B' rating in 2011.[30] [31] In 2018, Karen Brooks of Portland Monthly said the restaurant "helped define Portland's emerging farm-to-table dining identity".[32]
