At 23Hoyt Chef Chris Israel’s sumptuous, Old World menu (that Gourmet called, “a pleasing blend of comfort and surprise”) is built with the bright, fresh flavors of local, seasonal product brought to you in the smartly designed space that is at once sophisticated and contemporary and deeply comfortable. From your complimentary valet parking to your glass of Oregon’s Francis Tannahill “Passito” Gewurztraminer to finish your meal, you’ll be treated to Bruce Carey’s signature impeccable service. So whether you’re finishing up a day of shopping on Portland’s premier shopping row, or going out for an evening, a visit to 23Hoyt makes for an unparalleled dining experience on Portland’s Upper Westside.

23Hoyt Executive Chef, Christopher Israel has been bringing adventurous and authentic Old World flavors to Portland tables since he opened Zefiro in 1990 with Bruce Carey and Monique Siu. As an art student at Berkeley, Israel developed a passion for food in Bay Area restaurants Zuni Cafe and Square One, mentored by Joyce Goldstein. In 1999 he moved to New York City to take a job as an Associate Art Director for Vanity Fair Magazine where he stayed until 2005. He then returned to the stoves at saucebox. And most recently in 2006 he opened 23Hoyt Restaurant and Bar.
