The Original

In the 1950s and 60s, diners and supper clubs were social hubs, gathering spaces that blended a bit nostalgia with the modern rhythms of daily life. The menus were comprised of the comfort foods brought to this country by the immigrants who shaped it, and were refined to satisfy contemporary tastes. The Original, Portland's downtown destination for all-day dining, renews that spirit for the 21st century by serving up playful variations on the classic standards.
