Woodsman Tavern

(Aubrey Gigandet)

Woodsman's chalet vibe is bolstered by a whiskey-heavy cocktail menu, and elevated takes on meaty classics are where the restaurant shines. The lemon brown butter grilled trout ($26) is back on the menu after a brief disappearance. Or, if you're feeling posh, there's the 16-ounce rib-eye ($42). Fire-grilled slabs are served sliced and crusted in salt and pepper, with accompanying smoked blue cheese butter. Tack on sides of purple-cabbage coleslaw ($3) or mac and cheese topped with crunchy breadcrumb crumble ($5) to any plate for maximum gastronomic bliss.

GO: 4537 SE Division St., 971-373-8264, woodsmantavern.com, 5-10 pm Monday-Friday, 9 am-10 pm Saturday-Sunday
