The only time Larry Piaskowy leaves the kitchen is when he is with customers making sure they are satisfied with every part of their meal.

Larry grew up on the south side of Chicago (Go WhiteSox!) and learned about food from a favorite grandmother and the local eateries strewn across that great city. Larry eventually moved west to San Francisco after a visit to a sister residing in Napa Valley. As time went on Larry and his partner Jennifer Williams (She will do anything for you at the restuarant that does not have to do with cooking!) decided a move up north was in order. After seeing an ad on Craigslist Larry and Jennifer flew up to Portland and from a handshake The Port Bistro was born.

Larry's food philosophy after growing up in the city of big shoulders is Craftsman first and then art. The key to great food is consistentcy with little added touches here and there.
