Betty

Betty offers a bistro-style menu, a diverse list of old and new world wines, and very attentive service, all provided at moderate prices. The restaurant is open and well designed, with plenty of bar and chef counter space to enjoy your meal if you prefer not to be seated at a table.

I had a leg of duck in a confit-style preparation with homemade sausage on a bed of pea vines and a risotto cake. This was an absolutely fantastic dish, with the duck, sausage, pea vines, risotto cake and sauce combining to create magic in the mouth.

I paired the duck with a glass of Wallace Brook Cellars 2006 Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley that came recommended by our server. This wine was very good with the duck, prompting me to have a second glass. I am going to have to pick up a bottle of this wine on my next visit to the store.

I would definitely return to Betty. In fact, I prefer it over its sister restaurant, Crow, in terms of quality of food. But like Crow, it’s got great energy, attentive service, and a diverse menu to suit most tastes.
