Tusk is a very stylish, modern restaurant that focuses on flavors of the Levant, but expressed through the Northwest’s most beautiful produce. Everything is so fresh. I think that it’s best enjoyed during the day, because of the abundance of natural light that floods into the modern dining room through large windows on two sides.
Honestly, anything you order off the menu is going to be great. It’s a small place, probably 30 seats or fewer. During the summer, she has a patio open, too, that adds maybe six or seven more tables. Outside is perfect, not too hot or sunny, and it’s right next to Mount Tabor Park. So you can walk up the mountain to enjoy some nature after the meal, or come to the restaurant after walking.
“Splurge” means different things to different people, but price tag aside, these four spots are all great choices for a celebratory meal.
