Before moving to Portland, Garrett worked at the Michelin three-star Restaurant at Meadowood and the groundbreaking restaurant Ubuntu, which was the first vegetarian restaurant in the world to be awarded a Michelin star. “G-Love” was Garrett’s nickname growing up.
G-Love opened in 2019 and has become known for bold and bright flavors, a sunny ambiance and cheerful hospitality. Signature dishes include the Crusty Avocado (pictured right) and the Ensalada Bomba, which has 100 ingredients and is quite possibly Portland’s best salad.

The Love Shack is new cocktail bar in Portland’s vibrant Slabtown neighborhood — the second venture of chef and restaurateur Garrett Benedict, who opened the vegetable-focused restaurant G-Love in 2019. Located at 1645 NW 21st Ave and adjacent to G-Love, The Love Shack opened in February 2024.
The interior is designed to transport guests to warmer climes, with a glittering Venetian gold plaster back bar and a hanging, palm-covered palapa floating over four cozy booths.
Central to the experience at The Love Shack is the service style: Servers navigate the space with sleek black steel bar carts, custom-designed by Garrett. The bar carts accommodate plates of snacks and drinks and are integral to facilitating a continuous cocktail party atmosphere with passed drinks and food.
The bingo-style menu includes Croissant Banh Mi (marinated pork, pickled carrot, cucumber, cilantro, sambal aioli), Oysters + Champagne for two (oysters on the half-shell, mignonette, mini champagne bottle), and a Milk Bun Reuben (pastrami, sauerkraut, swiss, rye spice) Larger plates are available as well, including Prime Rib a la Sparkles. The menu is a collaboration with Executive Chef Andrew Lee. Andrew, who shares a history of working with Garrett in San Francisco, and was part of the opening crew at G-Love, brings his Korean heritage and San Francisco culinary experience to the table.
