  • Dao Deli Guest Chef Dinner

    May 17, 2025 only
    We have Chef Anthony Dao of Dao Deli coming in from Hood River to cook with us for one night only! Fun fact: Anthony cooked Louis & Jolyn's engagement lunch at Hiyu Wine Farm for their closest friends and family AND recently did a pop-up at Maurice to showcase his cooking to the Portland community. We had a chance to catch his pop-up at Maurice and we were blown away! Needless to say, we LOVE the way he cooks and we can't wait to share it with you! His food is a perfect pairing to our first generation American concept. No tickets, but reservations highly recommended! A la carte menu all night; we'll have a few of Anthony's dishes alongside our a la carte menu. See you there! ABOUT THE CHEF: Anthony Dao is a Pacific Northwest native and Columbia River Gorge resident. As a first-generation American born to Vietnamese refugees, he brings a richly multicultural perspective to his cooking. After a brief stint in the corporate space upon completing his undergrad at Washington State University, his budding interest in hospitality first took him to New York City, where he worked in Michelin-starred kitchens like The Nomad, The Finch and Casa Mono. An itch for adventure later led him to Australia, where he and his partner, Kaylee, worked on farms and vineyards, seeking a closer connection to the land and learning how that relationship ultimately impacts flavor. Pursuing an integration of his experiences in agriculture, wine and hospitality, he returned to the Pacific Northwest and joined the team at James Beard-nominated Hiyu Wine Farm in Hood River, OR where he spent nearly four years as the sous chef. Now, he's operating a roving pop-up called Dao Deli, sharing his vision throughout the Gorge and beyond.

    Everything about our meal was fantastic. Every dish was delicious and thought provoking, with interesting flavor combinations that I have rarely experienced in Portland. I could eat the khao soi radiatori every day. Khao soi is my favorite Thai dish and this brought it to life in an imaginative way while still staying true to the flavors of the original dish. The service was impeccable, with all the little flares of fine dining such as clean place settings for the entrée and clearing the table of crumbs between each setting, yet the ambience was relaxed and inviting, which is not often said of fine dining restaurants. 10/10 will definitely be back.

    Expectations were high for this exclusive dinner. We enjoyed the wine we selected and the bread with the first course, but it was all kind of down hill from there. The pasta dinner ended with a very tiny, flat 3”x3” slice of lasagna that we had to share? (Did they run out?) They dropped the check without asking if we needed anything else and when we got up to leave there were no servers in sight - I had to find my own jacket from a heaped coat rack. Turned out, there was no one around because, as we saw through the window when we left, the whole crew were in the back eating pizza and congratulating each other? While the dining room was still 3/4 full? Having traveled down from Seattle for this, we felt it was a pretty expensive bummer deal.
