Dish Review

This eclectic and inexpensive comfort-food joint, owned by first-time restaurateurs Robin and Mike Clark, is perhaps the first restaurant in the Overlook neighborhood worth a trek to visit from as far away as Southeast Portland. Really. The menu�s as varied as the d�cor, with Indian and Thai dishes alongside American fare, but that�s because Sagittarius seems to be all about presenting clever (and even healthy) takes on comfort food from all over the global map. The fish and chips are easily the best in Portland�the fries, perfectly floppy and only a tad greasy, are made the way a fry should be: from an actual potato and served hot as hell. Burgers are pretty excellent as well, though the restaurant�s ethnic dishes are a mixed bag. Desserts are housemade and shareable. (Originally reviewed 10/12/05.)
