I've been here multiple times, and have had good experiences. Last night was a bad experience, specifically with the lack of hospitality from the hostesses.
I came here for dinner last night with my Burmese family who's visiting from out of town. I was so excited to bring them here, because they love Burmese food. Upon checking in with the hostess for our reservation, we were taken to one of the tall tables with barstools. My mother-in-law is 4' 10", has vertigo, and had a really difficult time trying to get up onto the barstool, despite assistance from two other people. She became dizzy, almost fell off the barstool due to its height and how much the stool moved around on the slick tile floor, and ultimately told us she could not sit there. So, I went to the hostess and told her that we couldn't sit there because it was unsafe for my MIL, and asked to please sit at a shorter table. We were told our only option was for a table out on the patio, but it was chilly and my in-laws get cold very easily, so that was not a good option. I pointed to an empty, short table indoors, directly behind me, that would work perfectly, and asked to sit there, but was told that the table was reserved for a party of five (we were a party of 4). I then asked if the party of five had specifically requested that table, and was told no, they hadn't, but we still couldn't sit there because they had already added an additional chair to the table to accommodate the fifth person. Mind you, there were four hightop tables available that they could have easily added a fifth barstool to. After a little nonsensical back and forth with the hostesses, and them being rude and less than understanding to my MIL's health concerns, they rolled their eyes and sat us at the short table I had requested. Cool, thanks for doing the bare minimum of your job, and being bitchy the whole time...WTF?
Our server was decent, nothing spectacular, and was the only server for the entire restaurant.
Our food and drinks were a little pricey for the portion size, (our bill was $200) but they arrived in a timely manner, and were yummy.
I probably won't be back to this restaurant. Yes, the food is good, but it doesn't outshine the bad vibes and rudeness of the hostesses. There are plenty of restaurants in PDX that have better food and superior service, so I'll take my money there.
Oh, and the party of five that the table was reserved for never even showed! LOL all that fuss from the hostesses for nothing.
