When planning for this months dinner I remembered the main reason that I have not been to more, lack of babysitting.  So this month we are going to my son's favorite restaurant.  I really enjoy the beer (and food).  The atmosphere is casual, we will be in a private room upstairs, and the food is good quality pub fare. 

Come by and sample some of there award winning beer and spend an evening with friends.

This month Genevieve and Tad Remington chose the location of our dinner.  On Wednesday, February 24th at 7pm we will be dining at Rice Thai Cookery in West Linn.  The restaurant has an "interior that's simple but striking, cool but not pretentious, new yet old-looking; with recipes that are fresh and authentic; service that's homelike, casual and friendly; and a price that's easy on the wallet."

Please RSVP to elvis@bmwacaportland.com by the 23rd.

Thats right, the March club dinner will be held on Thursday, April 1, 2010 at 7pm at Nostrana.

Eater PDX describes Nostrana as:

"Intensely regional Italian food, wood-fired oven pizza, and nothing on the entire menu for more than $20 make Cathy Whims (once of Genoa) the most renowned woman chef in … Portland. A barrel vaulted exposed wood ceiling, tons of windows, and just enough chatter to brighten things up make Nostrana the most renowned casual-enough place in town."

So why not join your local BMW friends to enjoy a wonderful dinner.
