If the person in your life likes things a bit more exotic, first, let us congratulate you…that’s a real find. Second, let us make a can’t-miss recommendation for your dating experience.

Saucebox is more than just more pan-asian, fusion flavor of the month. This place has been doing it right for years. And by right, we mean can’t-miss; even though we swoon over a few favorites, you could just close your eyes and point to something on the menu and you’ll be pleased. We find this quality in a restaurant especially helpful on special occasions because it allows us to focus much more on our dining partner while still looking like a total foodie rockstar for rendering tasty stuff from the incomparable Chef Alex.

Indulge your date’s exotic side in one of the most sexy and chic spaces this side of the Willamette and the adventurous spirit should carry over well after dessert…which is what we’re going for, right?
