Lovely bustling space, loud-ish but not too loud, and the tables aren't too close together so you can actually talk with your dining companion.
Nice selection of Cocktails, Bloody Mary's, and Mimosas- reasonably priced for Portland. Ordered the special cocktail of the day (week?) which had Rum, Cherry Liqueur, and fresh grapefruit and lime juices. It was fantastic! Had a really delicious iced tea as well.
My companion and I both ordered the same thing, the 2 egg breakfast with 3 sides that you choose yourself, from a long list of items! We chose the Bacon, Wheat Toast, and Hash Browns. Eggs were perfectly done, bacon nice and crisp (my preference!), and the toast was made from some of the best bread I've tasted in Portland! But the Hash Browns were the star. Wow, phenomenally done, cooked in a small pan until super crispy on the top and bottom. Only $10.50 for a substantial plate of food that I could barely finish (but did anyway because it was all so yummy).
We were slightly disappointed that the items didn't seem to be seasoned much (salt or pepper), until we tasted the hot sauce and ketchup... both house-made!!! Suddenly those were all the seasoning we needed, because they were amazing.
On a Monday afternoon the place was packed, but we only had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. Our server was very busy but super attentive. We can't wait to go back again!
