What's in a name ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- eggs Benedict- I have never LOVED peas but these were so well prepared- I liked the onion and smoked pieces of meatSmorrebrod ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- like the bread it came with- the ceviche was super lemony in a good way- it was light and perfect
It was a little out of the way from where we were staying. Our initial waitress obviously did not know much about the menu. She gave us incorrect responses to our questions. Upon entering we were asked in a rather abrupt way to show our vaccination cards - we all 6 had these, but it was not done in a very nice manner. Dinner was good - not great. I would not tell someone to waste their dining experience here, especially given the wait staff.
Quaint NE Portland neighborhood restaurant with a unique brunch menu! The atmosphere was fun and the service good. I love to share plates and I got savory and sweet bites. The Cavendish is an amazing Nutella Stuffed French Toast with bananas cinnamon rum Carmel and hazelnuts! What a great dish to share. I also split a great burger that was so flavorful with very tasty pickles, blue cheese and bacon. I am definitely looking forward to another visit!
This place really blew mind. At first glance, a hole in the wall with craft beers and outside seating. Walk inside and the friendly staff immediately greeted me and my friend, and within a minute we were seated in a warm, gorgeous outdoor seating area, with a little fire and custom wooden tables. First cute points acquired.Our waiter, Chris, was extremely kind, swift, and knowledgeable about the entire menu. We had oysters and the pain du jour to start- with accoutrements.He brought out oysters that immediately took my mind away to the ocean. (Calgons?) I sat there dazed trying to comprehend what just happened between the oysters and house blueberry vinegar and my own face, when the board came out.Marconi almonds. Dates. 2 types of fresh warm bread in a special bag with a hot stone. 3 cheeses, each with a hot personality. Walnuts. House made pickles (cloves?!?! Woah.) Apple slices. Candied ginger. Sprouts. Radishes. Fancy butter (it tastes better because it's fancy).Just when I didn't think my brain could comprehend any further excellence, they bring out the blue cheese burger and side salad.Ladies and gentleworms. This was no ordinary burger.My friend and I split it, and as we bit into a half, paused. Utterly silent. Eyes wide. Brain lit up like the 4th of July. Not even chewing the second chew because we were trying to understand how. HOW.I can with full enthusiasm, confidence and sincerity say it was the BEST burger I have ever had in my 30+ years of life.I don't know how the salad tasted so rich, but it was nothing short of astonishing either. Radicchio, hardy greens sunflower shoots, and other no nonsense heavy hitters of the leafy plant world. Tossed and lying there on my plate, waiting to be experienced.We ended the night with a blood orange drink made with tequila and red. It was bold, bitter, and unapologetic. If I could give a restaurant a standing ovation, I would.This is a precious gem in the menagerie mines of PDX restaurants.Don't miss it. Take someone special. You both deserve it.
Love the food and ambiance at this place. Food is seasonal and local. Great drink options too. Whether you sit inside or outside, the mood is just right to enjoy a yummy meal. Thanks for feeding me!
Great food and reasonable prices. They should list their whiskey on the menu. I enjoy pairing whiskey with my food more than wine.
I see that they are under new ownership, but I’m really disappointed that the burger has changed. It didn’t even have aioli. Another Portland great that will be missed.Update: Thanks for the response, that’s good to know. This has been our favorite for years.
The menu was very unique giving the 4 of us the opportunity to try new things and everything was excellent! The flavors just combined to make everything so tasty. Service was good and the total price very reasonable for the quality of the food and the time we were able to spend there as a small group.
I had an exceptional brunch at G&G today. I hadn’t been here since it changed hands about three years ago, and remembered it as good but not exceptional. Well, it’s exceptional now! I had a dish of mushrooms in a thyme cream sauce with brioche and poached eggs, bacon on the side, and an Irish red ale to wash it down. Fantastic flavors, comforting, nourishing, and exciting all at the same time. Lunch was so good I tried dessert just to see if it was just as good— sweet potato doughnuts in a caramelized beet sauce. I enjoyed it very much, but some might prefer the less unusual flavor options which all sounded great too. Service was gracious and genuine, COVID precautions were on it, and I left feeling very happy to have found new life and creativity at this meticulous but welcoming and unpretentious spot.
Probably the best hamburger I've ever had. That's honestly no exaggeration, it was amazing. The drinks were good as were the onion strings, even the house salad with the vinaigrette dressing with somehow amazing. The only reason it's not getting five stars is because the house made ice cream is not good, I would take that one step further and say not only is it not good it's terrible. Luckily everything else we had there was AMAZING! Just a avoid dessert.
