Portland SE restaurant with e-mailed weekly menu

[5haughtons]

Dear CHs
A few months ago I read a little article about Portland restaurant that e-mails a menu to its "subscribers" weekly. If the meun appeals, you make a reservation. I think the restaurant is in a house and I think it is in SouthEast. Any have any knowledge of some operation like this?

Note that Saturday always seems to be sold out by the time the email is sent out.

Simpatica does Friday and Saturday night dinners that require reservations. The menu is sent out on Thurdays to their e-mail list. You can get on that list here:

They also do the best Sunday brunch in Portland, and a great "10 sandwiches" menu most Sunday nights. They are on SE Ash betw. SE 8th and 9th, and it is an old building, but not a house. It was a theater and a club at one time, but not a house.

Hope this is what you are looking for.
