Today J and I are studying at Albina Green. Close to home, walkable and along a bus route this is quickly becoming one of our favorite places.
Let me just say that the food here is fantastic!
The food is described as nouveau American which I see as 50/50 on being an accurate description of it. There is a fair amount of standard fare on the menu you might even say predictable for our city's appetite. However, the interpretation presented here is far above many places that I have tried recently, especially when when price is considered.
We're working on our fourth hour here. The crowd has grown and the noise level has risen, but it is very acceptable for one trying to concentrate while out at a public place with moderate traffic.
Albina Green presents as a music venue at night and the decoration reflects that nicely. The menu covers are made from old album covers and upon the walls hang music paraphernalia including photos and paintings of musicians, musician action figures, instruments and album covers.
almost every night has music, open mic, and on Sundays, trivia.
Three skylights adorn the ceiling letting in plenty of light and a green lush lawn the front patio area.
Today is warm and sunny so the patio is getting plenty of use.
I rate this place an A from my three visits

Oh C, you do make me laugh. Albina Green is becoming one of my favs too. I really appreciated the quiet study time. I see you managed to get a portion of my head in the photo :)
