Best Restaurants and Bars in Vancouver, Washington | Eater Portland

"Amaro’s Table and Gustav’s owner Genaro Amaro opened this lovely brunch spot in honor of his grandmother Cecilia. Cecilia feels like a passion project compared to Amaro’s other businesses, with its elegant chandeliers and decadent daytime fare. Sweet things like the made-to-order Dutch babies and tres leches French toast are juxtaposed with savory shrimp and grits and chilaquiles. Cocktails include individual mimosas as well as a carafe of fresh-pressed orange juice and a bottle of Poema Cava called the Party. As the sun goes down, the lights are lowered and the space transitions to dinner service with updated classics like spinach artichoke dip, and filet Oscar. Elegant cocktails, mocktails, and sumptuous desserts such as abuelita’s doughnuts and a light, tangy passion fruit pot de creme round out the menu." - Rachel Pinsky

This was the first time I’ve been here and it will not be the last. The food was delicious. We had the French toast appetizer that is served with fresh fruit, whipped cream, and syrup on the side. Main brunch course was the chilaquiles and eggs Benedict with home fries. The chilaquiles Were served with a shredded beef that is marinated in a delicious Guajillo pepper sauce, It was definitely made to order because the chips still had a bite to them, which is my favorite part. You can always tell when people pre-make it because the chips are soggy and they should not be like that in an authentic dish. The eggs Benedict hollandaise sauce was divine and done correctly. The eggs were cooked to perfection. Overall, the atmosphere was definitely very busy. We sat at a very long table. I do appreciate that they didn’t overcrowd the table, because it was a family style table, but they only sat three parties. One at each end and then one in the middle which was nice, but it definitely gets crowded fast. Highly recommend giving this place a try it will easily become one of your favorite brunch spots

We had an excellent experience at Cecilia. Our first server was Jasmine. The rainbow carrots appetizer was flavorful, and the cioppino appetizer came with a rich, well-seasoned broth, plenty of seafood, and toasted baguette spears. The Alaskan halibut was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The sauce on the plate was especially good. For dessert, both Abuelita’s doughnuts—graciously gifted by the staff for a special occasion—and the brick oven bread pudding were outstanding. Warm service and thoughtful touches made the evening feel special. Highly recommend.

My first time at Cecilia and it was so wonderful! I ordered the chilaquiles and have never had a more delicious one before! My husband got chicken and waffles and they were so perfect. The service was friendly and checked in multiple times. My husband and I ordered a Bloody Mary and expresso martini. Both drinks were perfect! Lastly, we were given donuts as a complimentary gift for being first time customers. The donuts were incredible! Highly recommend.

I came here twice within a 2 week period and it was great both times! It is busy during the week and very busy on the weekend, expect to wait. The food is really good and they give you good portions. I've tried the chicken/waffle, pancakes, traditional breakfast, and cheddar biscuit- everything is really good. The service is great and the people are kind. The vibes and energy are great. The inside and outside are both nice so either option for seating works. They have Anthropology candle/scents in the bathroom, Capri scent, smells good! There are little touches that make this place awesome. I just found this place as I go to Amaros Table in downtown Vancouver, that place is really good too. You should go if you haven't. Also, they were really helpful with warming up my frozen breast milk so I could feed my newborn, they gave me warm water. That was extremely helpful and made feeding easy, I was able to enjoy getting out of the house. Good job to the people who work here, youre great!

Came here on a Tuesday night and could walk in without a reservation. The vibe and service were good, but I didn’t love my artichoke salad. It was a bit too salty. Everyone else in my party liked their food!

A beautiful restaurant with wonderful staff - our server was amazing. It was a little difficult to hear but I believe her name was Hanna or Anna. I came for my 30th birthday with my husband and my 3 year old. They were incredibly sweet and accommodating. Definitely make a reservation they’re very popular especially on Sunday. Wonderful food. Absolutely no complaints. The donuts are amazing, brunch burger and chicken fried steak was phenomenal. We will definitely be back.

This place was amazing. We tried the Abuelita’s Donuts, House Benedict w/ tomato jam and avocado instead of ham, the Chicken & Waffles as well as the Chilaquiles and each one was outstanding. Top notch brunch 😁

Absolutely love this place! Great atmosphere, top notch hospitality, amazing food! The donuts, brunch burger, tres leches French toast, chicken fried steak, all phenomenal and sadly didn’t get pictures of everything because once I saw the food I forgot to snap a photo. Great portions and recommend to everyone! Melissa our server was great and super sweet, remembering my drink order from my first time.

We just had breakfast at Cecilia for the first time. We were fans of a previous restaurant there called Lapella. The breakfast my wife and I and our two kids had today was phenomenal! Times 4! The eggs Benedict were the best I have ever had. Ever. The cheddar muffin under the eggs was so tasty it was unreal. My 5 year old son loved the French toast and ate every bite! Other than the few pieces I took for myself! This place is a 10 out of 10 for food and I've eaten at a million breakfast places all over the world. Coudos to Cecilia.

Cecilia's came highly recommended by several friends. My daughter and I went there for her birthday, and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere is perfect. The staff were courteous and accommodating. The food is top-shelf. We will be returning soon, and doing some recommending of our own!

Cecilia is a delightful find that feels like a mini getaway! The atmosphere is incredibly laid-back and refreshing, instantly evoking the feeling of being on a relaxing vacation. The interior design is colorful and welcoming, creating an ideal setting for a memorable meal. Now, let's dive into the cuisine - it's absolutely fantastic! Each plate is a masterpiece, full of rich flavors and creativity. However, the real highlight is the donuts served with berry compote. They are a must-try! Light, airy, and perfectly complemented by the luscious berry sauce, it's a dessert you'll be raving about long after your visit. If you're in search of a restaurant that combines exceptional food with a chill, vacation-like atmosphere, Cecilia is the place to be! I can't wait for my next visit!

Family of 6 adults - 3 generations - enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Cecilia last evening. Beautiful setting and great staff. We were greeted as we entered and seated right away. Enjoyed some beverages as we checked out the menu. Started with the scallops and artichoke & spinach (add crab) dip. Both were fantastic and highly recommended. For dinner - halibut and salmon entrees, one NY steak and three filets with Oscar sauce. Everything was tasty. Top votes for the halibut and the filets. No room left for dessert. From start to finish, our server was excellent. Attentive without interrupting. Looking forward to enjoying dinner at Cecilia again next time we are visiting family in Vancouver.

I like Cecilia and will happily visit when heading towards Seattle, however, it doesn't beat brunch places closer to my house in Portland and I wouldn't go out of my way to visit. Reservations are a must. The restaurant is usually bustling so best to take advantage of a place that actually offers reservations. Coffee is meh. Food is pretty good. I usually get the Dutch baby and am always happy with the meal. It's not my fave place by any means, but a solid place to grab brunch if you happen to be close by.

From our Server, Derina D She was amazing and friendly. Food was Above Amazing and so delicious. We had some Nigronis for our after breakfast drink which complimented everything. Such a great dining experience from the hostesses to our Star Server, Derina, She elevated our dining experience. Bravo. We will be back for sure, When we are back in Washington State. A Must try

The service was great, from servers who know how to help their customers to the solid silverware, real china that confirms you're in a place that cares about the details. SHMBO thought the Benedict was top notch although biscuits aren't her favorites. It was however once of the best ever omelets for our friend. I went for my brunch standard, Chicken Fried Steak. It was tender, well seasoned and a generous portion. I asked for crispy home fries and unfortunately that's not something they can produce, even after trying a second time. The house special donuts are very tasty and the compote that comes with it. It's a great place, expect a wait for a table, get reservations if you can. It's worth the wait and the cost.

I was curious of this taste based on the fact it partners with other local restaurants. We had family visiting from out of town & was looking for a brunch place for Saturday. When we got there (around 0800) i was worried as they asked if we had reservations. We had a mix of adults and a teenager - 7. Luckily they were able to get us a table (but for future reference i will make sure to get reservations). Our waiter was wonderful - knowledgeable, attentive and quick. The menu was plentiful. Their drinks had great flavor and presentation was spot on. Had to get the doughnuts - and they didn't disappoint. Our food order was taken and delivered in an appropriate amount of time. All choices were great and would recommend and have again. Check this place out as its an easy location to get to! I will be back

Yes, yes, yes. You walk in and it's just beautiful. The decor, the open concept, the tables, everything. It's beautiful. It's a mix of rustic and modern, and it's working. The service was great. They asked if we had ever been there before (we hadn't) and they made sure it make it a great experience. They gave us some of their ricotta donut holes on the house for trying them for the first time. They were amazing. I could eat those for every meal. The food was amazing. My sister and I both wanted to try a dish and so we told them that we were gonna order both and split them. They went above and beyond and split them for us and gave each of us two plates with half of each dish. We tried the chicken and waffles and Chilaquiles and both were delicious! The kids got the French toast, which was incredible. And sausage, eggs, and potatoes that they enjoyed just fine. We ended up going back a day later lol. The next time I got the chicken fried steak and it was also fantastic. So, we will definitely go back a third time next time we are in town!!!

My daughter and I had a great experience here. The vibes, decor, and food was amazing! I would've liked for our waitress to have been a bit more happy, not sure if she likes working there or not. A smile would've been nice, just saying. Now let's get to the food! Tres leches French toast!!! Such a banger! It's so soft and creamy, full of flavor. It was a large, shareable portion and the fresh fruit made it among!! Chilaquiles were amazing! Well seasoned and a large portion. The meat was great and it was simply well made. Loved eating here, and can't wait to go back.

We are from out of town and traveling through, but I'm a brunch fiend so I knew I had to try Cecilia's out. Let me tell you - this place was good enough that it has me considering moving here! The ambiance was great - lightly decorated and giving a "new American" vibe. Our party of four were seated in a timely manner and service was excellent throughout. The booth we were at had a lovely wood tabletop and a view of some artistic windmills out the window. The only downside was that the waiting area was a bit cramped since there were so many people waiting, but that's what you get when a place is so high quality. There were other good aspects like the bathroom was nicely decorated and clean. The prices are pretty average for this type of food, so it's a good value since it tastes incredible. We can't wait to come back to try other things on the menu!

I've come here for brunch multiple times and have always loved it!! Especially the espresso martini and salmon eggs Benedict! Just tried dinner and the service was great and the food was even better! The truffles scallops were easily our favorite but the ribeye was a close second. I also love the interior design here. As a girl who loves pink they made their restaurant warm, welcoming, and sophisticated with the pink walls and decor.

Came here for a brunch, I love the decor and the food was great! It can get somewhat loud, and definitely gets very busy, especially on the weekend. Expect a wait. You can make reservations if your party is large enough. Parking isn't a major issue as there is a large parking lot. Portions are overall quite generous, and both savory and sweet options were excellent. Would happily come back.

Absolutely loved this place. Food, service, ambiance AMAZING. I am so sad I live out of state because I was so impressed with everything here. We had chicken and waffles, Dutch baby, and shrimp and grits. Everything was divine. I was so impressed with the chicken, between the seasoning and the breading it was phenomenal and the shrimp and grits had a perfect balance of heat with the jalepeno grits. I 100% will be back to Cecilia's every single time I visit my family in Vancouver. Thanks for the awesome food and great service!

Great vibe, very aesthetically pleasing. Instant seating at the bar for one during Saturday brunch rush, the female bartender was cool. The cold brew coffee hit the spot, very good, not bitter. Lots of yummy menu choices, I opted for the Chicken Fried Steak and was happily sated. A delightful crispness with every bite, while the gravy was excellent! The side salad was more than an afterthought, ample and full of flavor. Lastly, the homemade hot sauce packed some heat. Unfortunately, my order took much longer than the what's considered normal. Nobody checked on me during the meal, but oh well, no pampering today. Don't tell me looks were not a consideration when hiring: so many attractive employees. No complaints though. The giant parking lot was major full.

Had a fantastic breakfast on a Friday morning. I'm off Friday - Sunday and my husband took the day with me. I came across this place on Yelp and I'm not sure how long they've been open - but I'm devastated that I'm only finding them now! I'm a sucker for an aesthetic - and it's such a vibe in here. The bathroom is also beautiful! We sat on the bar side and started with the Mimosa and House Berry Lemonade. The lemonade was deliciousssss. It was our first time here; and they served a complimentary dish: Abuelitas Doughnuts under a berry compote. A first time gift! What a personal touch, and the berry compote was amazing. It brought me back to the boysenberry pie that my grandpa used to make growing up. We had the Chicken Fried Steak and the Eggs Benedict. Premium flavors, premium ingredients! I'm a Chicken Fried Steak Super Fan; and I throughly enjoyed this take! The bread under the Eggs Benedict was mouth watering! We were sat by a server area; and I could hear the immense care for the service and everyone's experience. Thank you for the great service and food! Looking forward to returning for dinner.

Cecilia was awesome, our server Cody was very knowledgeable and friendly. I went with friends who have never been there before, and they were blown away. The food is spectacular. I made a reservation for Monday at 11am and it was busy but not too loud. I had an espresso martini, it was delicious! The cocktails are wonderful. I also ordered the seafood omelette which was top notch. I highly recommend!

Yelp always comes through! When we travel, I consistently rely on Yelp reviews to find fantastic restaurants. After pursuing several breakfast places, we choose to eat at Cecilia. Cecilia is located in a nice shopping plaza, very chic decor, upscale. Cecilia was one of the best breakfasts I've had. We shared the ricotta donuts with fresh berry compote- melted in your mouth! I had the chilaquiles- beyond amazing!! The brisket with the eggs and avocado sauce- to die for. My husband had biscuits and gravy- all was great. Our server was super attentive- refilled our coffees, was really nice. Highly recommend!

Crowded but got seated in 15 min. No outside beverages allowed so make sure you keep your coffee mug in your car. Everything we ordered was brilliant, in particular: Seafood omelet If you like crab meat, crab aroma, crab flavor, then please order this dish. I'm not sure if this is the best way to explain, but there is crab essence in the eggs - like I'm eating eggs straight out of the crab shell. Completely amazing - get this. Chicken and waffles A high quality sweet/savory option that doesn't overwhelm. The breaded chicken is very tender and near crumbly without being dry. The waffles are already made with some sugar so you may not even need the table syrup. Shrimp and Grits Grit consistency is more like polenta than cream of wheat. Super flavorful and just pairs so well with the grilled shrimp (about 6 or so). They clearly know what they're doing here which explains the full crowds and wait. Well worth it! That's all...

So far, we've experienced dinner twice at Cecilia. The first restaurant where I want to try every dish on the menu. Food, service and ambiance are excellent. Big shout out to AJ, the General Manager. He's friendly, caring and attentive. Even pitching in as he fills his patron's water glasses. The wine selection is stellar. During our first visit we ordered Zero Alcohol cocktails, their Smoked Steelhead Chowder, Prawn and Clam Linguini and the Alaskan Halibut. The chef has the magic touch when it comes to preparing and cooking their fish options. I'm sure it's the same for their beef, lamb and poultry dishes. The fish was melt-in-your-mouth moist and tender. The flavors of all the dishes were perfection. We finished with the Brick Oven Bread Pudding-yummy. On our second visit we split the Roasted Carrotts and Green Salad which is no ordinary green salad. Both excellent. The main courses of the Chef's Jambalya and NW Steelhead were, again, amazing. I'm a salmon lover and their NW Steelhead was fabulous. This restaurant does not disappoint with a beautifully curated menu.

We ordered artichoke salad, pan seared chicken & a pasta dish (not pictured). The service was on point & fast. The food was amazing. So flavorful & fresh. Everything we ate was delicious. I've also had breakfast here & that was top notch as well. The place feels a little upscale but I was completely comfortable in jeans & a sweatshirt. Honestly can't wait to come back & try more of the menu.

What an amazing experience! Since we didn't have reservations (and it was full) they offered for us to sit in the communal high top area. It was near the bar. They paid attention to all the details. It decorated beautifully. The server was very friendly and warm. Her name was Jessica. She came to us with a smile and let us know about specials and let us know about recommendations. We decided to go with the chicken and waffles. They were delicious! It was flavorful and the perfect mix of crunchy and light and fluffy. Also, they came by and gave us some freshly cooked donut holes to thank us for visiting. It had a house made blueberry compote. I was very impressed by my entire experience and will recommend for anyone to come. I can't wait to go back and try more food and drinks. It's such a nice vibe with thoughtful service.

Omg! They are amazing, food, service (thank you Cody!), ambience, everything! This place is in my top 5 for breakfast, not kidding! The biscuits and gravy are out of this world. They grill the biscuits to a nice crisp and the gravy is flavorful with nice chucks of sausage. Steak and eggs were fabulous and the CFS was delicious. The Dutch baby takes some time to make but it's worth the wait. Be sure to get the whip cream and fruit with it. The wait was about 20 mins on Sunday (10 am).

Writing this review while waiting over 45+ minutes for food to arrive....what a ridiculous wait time. Just excuses about how they are busy and it's 30 min for the food...Shouldn't take 40+ minutes to cook up some burgers, omelettes and salad. We saw tables that were seated after us, get their food before us. They n addition, we tried to place our order earlier but out waitress said she'd be right back...we ended up having to flag her down 10min later since she never returned to take our order. This was supposed to be a nice birthday lunch for my wife but instead we ended up waiting an hour and still no food...we ended up leaving as my MIL was pissed about how long it was taking and we were all starving... The food might be good but waiting a ridiculous amount of time for it just ain't it. Especially when we attempted to get our order in earlier but our waitress just didn't have time for that and then decided not to come back for 10+ min.

I've been here twice now, and unfortunately, both visits were disappointing. The food was okay, but not memorable. I tried the highly recommended eggs Benedict both times, and while others seem to love it, it wasn't to my taste. That's something I could overlook, but the service made the experience worse. The servers seemed rushed and irritated, leaving me feeling uncomfortable both times. It didn't feel like they had the time or interest to provide good service. I brought this up to the manager on duty, hoping to share my experience constructively, but the response was dismissive and unprofessional. It left me feeling unheard and unwelcome. I truly wanted to like this place, but between the food and service, I can't see myself coming back anytime soon.

Lovely interior, attentive service. Smartly written, enticing menu with food to back up the copy. While perusing the menu, lost in indecision we shared the highly acclaimed tres leches french toast, a must have. I ended up enjoying the crispy chicken fried steak with eggs over medium smothered in a deliciously herby gravy, As my side I opted for a salad with a yummy vinaigrette. There were 8 of us and for Sunday brunch there was a 45 min wait at 10am. There's ample parking in the strip mall situations on the Fred Meyer lot. Not cheap but very much worth it.

Wow, wow, friggin' wow!!!-- from the clean & nicely decorated interior, to the efficient and friendly service, and super delicious food!!! This restaurant is a rare gem IMO to have it all. Thank you for making my first experience dining here a very positive one. The complimentary Abuelitas doughnuts were a nice touch, plus kindly splitting the dishes for me and my daughter when I said we were sharing. I will definitely come back here again when I am in the area. Eat here, you will not be disappointed!

We stopped by for brunch and loved it! The restaurant was really busy; we waited around 30 minutes before getting seated. We loved the interior and ambiance. We got Abuelitas donuts, tres leches French toast, and Dutch baby (we got all 3 sweets they offered ) fried chicken and waffle, and chicken fried steak. It was all super good. I had the french toast - it wasn't dry at all nor heavy! I would say it's definitely up there on my list. The other 2 desserts were also super good - the donuts were fluffy and I loved the jam while the Dutch baby was almost like an egg waffle and I loved the kick of lemon in there. The only downside I would mention is that food was served slower than similar restaurants I've been to.

Chic interior, bustling vibe, great hospitality & clean, upscale facilities! If the wait time is long City Home & Willow are great perusing spots while you wait!! Our server, Kylee, gave great recommendations & reviews about her faves! Her suggestions were definite 10's!! The place was busy so we expected an extended service time. We sat down at noon & finished at 1:30. We were checked on regularly, drinks were topped off & all staff were pleasant & smiling! As for the food...it was delicious, well seasoned, fresh, hot & 5 star worthy!! Definitely recommend! Lots of parking in the area.

I leave the area for good in mid 2022, and miss all these amazing spots that have opened since! On a quick visit back, we thankfully got to enjoy a fantastic mid week breakfast. Was seated right away, and our server Cody validated the choices we were leaning toward - the revered chilaquiles and the eggs Benedict. He brought the complimentary ricotta donuts as a first time guest and they were melt in your mouth delicious. We had to bring two home on the plane with us LOL. We enjoyed the home fries with the Benedict, they have peppers onions and chives in them and were crispy on the outside and pillowy in the middle. Loved the short rib on the chilaquiles and the poached eggs on top were cooked perfectly. Fresh squeezed OJ hit the spot. The dining area is beautiful with a great bar as well. Who would have thought all this in a Fred Meyer parking lot? On future visits this will be at the top of our list!

It may have been rainy and dreary on the outside, but it was Rain-y (our server's name) and delightful on the inside of Cecilia's. I came to meet up with a colleague and steered him this direction rather than a beer and burger joint close by. Boy am I glad I convinced him. The Yelpers said it all, a vibrant, upbeat brunch establishment with a healthy variety of "unhealthy" breakfast indulgence from chicken fried steak, eggs benedict, to chickens and waffles. All of which were done very well and a place I'd be back to for brunch cuisines if places like Screen Door have been visited far too often. They are especially welcoming to new first time guests and it showed... my thanks. My only critique was on this particular morning. I would've liked a water refill without having to ask for it. Worth a visit if you are craving brunch and in the area. They take reservations on particular days so worth a call or visit to their website as well.

Brunch was so worth the 25 minute wait. The French toast was amazing. I really enjoyed the donuts also. My son and I shared everything because we couldn't make up our minds. I am hoping to come back in the evening. The ambiance is friendly, welcoming and beautifully designed.

This kept popping up on yelp when searching for breakfast so decided to try! First it was a very chic cute little place. Service was great, the waitress knew her stuff and was kind. We ordered our food and looked around to see the food that others were ordering. We noticed the doughnuts right away and we all thought we should have gotten some because they looked amazing. Next thing you know (not our waitress) was delivering a plate of the doughnuts from their family to mine. They are the perfect doughnuts not super sweet and soft with a little crisp. The berry compote gives it just a little extra flavor!! This was above and beyond of the server to send over these doughnuts. The eggs Benedict was pretty good, it had a house made biscuit which was different, but all in all a fairly decent eggs Benedict and the potatoes were just a little crispy which I love, hate doggy potatoes. My daughter got the Dutch baby and she said it was very good but it was huge, definitely could share. Great little place but for sure ORDER THE DOUGHNUTS!!!!

The service and food was amazing! It was my first time here and I can't wait to go back when I eventually come back to visit. I highly recommend this place and the shrimp and grits. Thank you to the staff who gifted us donuts since it was the first time we visited!

Very good breakfast place. I thought the Dutch baby was good, the steak and eggs were good but expensive, the French toast was decent and the corned beef hash was good. I have to admit, not my favorite kind of corned beef hash because it was the real kind..... and I'm kind of a "corned beef hash from the can" guy. Great and friendly servers and a pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant.

Lapellah, the suppertime sister of Cecilia, may have been usurped her brunch-based body double with an equally feminine-sounding name, but that's no reason to get all SAAP-y about it: the new lady of the house is just as classy as her sunset sibling. Our Thursday morning visit thankfully required no reservation, and as I was a little apprehensive about our two sons (including a toddler) being a little too rambunctious for such an elegant environment, I was pleasingly reassured by the warm, welcoming (and unflinching) greetings of the staff that guided us to our table. In fact, everyone we interacted with, from the hosts, to our server, to others in passing, was eminently friendly and personable; a credit to the management's eye for discernment and quality talent. The food's not bad, either. In fact, it's excellent. My wife and I split the chilaquiles - the best iteration I've ever had of the dish - as well as an order of Zenner's sausage, a Bloody Mary, an Espresso Martini, and the Mini Standard (eggs, bac'n, 'taters) for the eldest of our two children present; our toddler would share a little of just about everything, as well as a side of avocado. I won't waste too many words on the particular flavors or characteristics of any specific dish, as our individual preferences are as unique and intrinsic to us as our personalities. What I can say is this: Cecilia had some rather large glass slippers to fill, unable to avoid comparison with her erstwhile exemplar; yet she exceeded on all expectations, representing herself with class, style, grace, and yes...really damn delicious food. The dinnertime diva may have been dethroned, but the prima donna of fashionable forenoon foodstuffs is (hopefully) here to stay. A flawless execution worthy of a standing ovation. Five stars!
