About Metrovino
Opened in May 2009, Metrovino is located in the north end of Portland’s Pearl District (NoLo), overlooking Tanner Springs Park on the Portland Street Car line. Offering an inspired menu featuring refined, yet rustic, New American cuisine, Executive Chef Gregory Denton uses time-honored techniques and flavor combinations to prepare fresh, local ingredients simply and in season. Utilizing both an Enomatic wine system and a Perlage sparkling system, the bar features 80 still and sparkling wines by the taste, glass or bottle, plus a strong list of locally distilled and internationally renowned spirits and beers. When renovating the restaurant, great care went into choosing sustainable materials, such as recycled and fully recyclable carpets, reclaimed wood, and as much material from the former restaurant as possible. Metrovino is open for dinner Monday to Saturday 5:30 to close with Happy Hour Monday to Friday from 4-6 p.m. For more information and reservations, please call 503-517-7778 or visit www.metrovinopdx.com
