    A known Portland treasure, this was my wife and I's first visit since moving here 14 years ago. God only knows why it took us so long. My wife ordered a mocktail spritz and the shrimp and grits; I had a grapefruit juice and the chicken and biscuits. Everything was fantastic. The breakfast potatoes may have been the best I've ever had. The sauce on the shrimp and grits was briney like the ocean, a great and bold flavor, even at 9am. The fried chicken was super peppery. We loved everything. Our only disappointment was that our side of praline bacon never arrived... we did not complain because the portions were so significant, we would have only been asking for trouble. We were not charged for the bacon, so no harm no foul I guess. We will be back when we have guests who are looking for a great breakfast place.

    Had family over from CA with two young children. We had reservations and was running behind with getting kids out the door and then traffic over the bridge. We informed them we would be late. They had our seats ready. My niece and family enjoyed their breakfast. Service was awesome and a beautiful day on top of that. Always our favourite place to take family visiting from out of town. Our server remembered us from our last visit. Always a great experience when eating here.

    Seated right away. Service was excellent. Food was good but for me, the chicken was too spicy. Waffle was cooked just right. If you order chicken and waffles and more than one piece of chicken, they pile the pieces on top of each other, making it almost impossible to cut and eat. Ask for a second plate. Parking structure right next to the restaurant. Powells book store within walking distance allows you to walk off your dinner.
