For casual elegance and superb wines there is
L’Omelette. There is no great pomp, but there is class.
After being seated the service is perhaps the best that
I ’ve seen. Informative and helpful but not overbearing.
The wine steward is unquestionably the best in Port
la n d His knowledgeable and sensitive treatment of both
wine and customer puts him in a class by himself. David
Adelsheim’s selection o f wines is truly outstanding and
is very noticeable by his or similar class persons, con
spicuous absence at other establishments in Portland.
The meal that accompanies the wines are exceptional
to average and so are the prices, from $7.00 to $18.00.
Of course, the main attraction o f L ’Omelette are the
gastronomic treats expected o f a restaurant o f this
caliber. M y suggestion? Colelettes I ’agneau Bearnaise.
succulent lamb chops topped with artichokes and Bear
naise. it’s a nice change of pace.

,
This restaurant is a favorite o f mine by accident. I
owe its existence in my life to chance and extreme
hunger at noon. Running between appointments is a
fault few seem to avoid now days. It can cause con
siderable discomfort when the stomach decides to
over rule the feet and commands a complete halt to ac
tivities until it’s satisfied. One of these frequent noon
time attacks hit me on 1st Street and as chance would
have it I stumbled into Naughty Jane’s with a bot
tomless pit calling the shots. At that time there was no
sign outside nor was the canopy up. it must have been
my stomachs unfailing radar that directed me to this

Inside o f Jane’ s there are two floors and three
separate dining areas. Try for the patio garden on the
lower floor to the rear o f the restaurant. It's a nice set
ting for a lunch with friends or for a business briefing
with a client.
The luncheon menu is brief but varied enough to last
for quite a few visits into the future, plus the daily
special is usually a treat. The prices are moderately high
for lunch but the chick setting and prompt courteous
service offset the cost.
For those who need more refreshing there is a full bar
that features a good irish coffee, wine o r beer served
from Naughty Jane’s huge 1930ish wooden bar.
My suggestion, the Londoner or the crepes.
