Last week, a group of friends and I headed to the heart of the Pearl District to eat at this place we’d been meaning to try. Called Fenouil, you’ll know it by its huge picture windows that look out onto beautiful Jamison Square, the white stone fireplaces, and the twinkle lights that are laced through the trees outside. But you’ll remember it for the French-influenced Northwest cuisine inside.

We started with the Dungeness crab salad: lump crab with basil yogurt, greens, and blood orange segments. Sublime. Main courses got passed around like a bumping game of Catchphrase: the slow-roasted pork shoulder with smoked apple jus and the crispy duck leg confit were the winners. The sorbet trio with seasonal garnishes is the must-have dessert. I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture.

Ciao,

Emily

Spring is in the air, and good deals are as well. This month is a perfect time to take advantage of a really cool thing we’ve got going on at Hotel deLuxe, and all you have to do is be our guest. That’s right, the Be Our Guest deal is a great way to live luxuriously, while saving some serious do-re-mi. We’ll give you our best available rate for two nights, and bonus: stay with us for free on your third night.

You’ll want to celebrate the deal you scored, and a trip to the swanky Driftwood Room will certainly do the trick. Indulging in a signature cocktail, like the Tiramisu (did I mention that this sweet treat has Godiva white chocolate liqueur?) is a must, in my opinion. Could a stay at the deLuxe get any sweeter?

See you around,

Brandon
