The Country Cat Dinnerhouse and Bar

Chef Adam Sappington spent 11 years at Portland's Wildwood Restaurant under one of Portland's pioneering chefs Corry Schreiber. The experience paid off in the casual, family-friendly dinnerhouse he has opened on SE Stark. The Country Cat offers great food and service and the chefs wife, Jackie, prepares wonderful desserts. There is a full bar with some great cocktail offerings, including a large selection of bourbons. The wine list is moderate, but takes care of business as the prices are reasonable. We started with the squash soup which was a warming treat, given the terrible weather we were experiencing. We also had the liver pate appetizer and the braised beef entree, both were outstanding. I looked on jealously as the table next to us received my second choice entree, the hamburger. A good reason to come back.
