    I had the goat cheese and tomato omelette, which was a special of the day, with their house potatoes and a Blackberry muffin. All excellent and the service was superlative.

    Honestly, you can’t go wrong. The menu is small, but each item is so well done. Great attention to detail. Even the side of greens on the Benedict is curiously delicious.

    Was looking forward to the omelettes but got the Duck Confit Egg’s Benedict instead. Duck was perfect, however, the eggs can be a bit more runny... Still very delectable. Recommended!

    Fresh squeezed juice in the mimosas was a highlight! Had both the special omelette and the veggie hash, we couldn't decide which one we preferred! You can tell they respect the ingredients they use 💛

    Great brunch options. The cauliflower hash is really good but wish there was more cauli. The oyster omelet was meh. Get the biscuit and the German apple pancakes, so fluffy.

    The service was slow, but to be fair the place was PACKED! Order the tomato, basil and feta omelet soooo satisfying 😋 and the mocha👌🏼☕️

    Delicious breakfast menu! Get the extra buttermilk biscuit, tastes great with the marionberry jam they give you.

    Soft scramble is the way to go. Restaurant is run really well - staff, service, etc are superior. The omelettes are 👏🏼👍🏼

    One of my local favorites, but they have decreased portion size especially at lunch and the prices seem to be rising. Was it really that much more expensive including a small salad with a sandwich?

    Winter brunch moves: fried chicken + cornmeal cakes, warm brussel sprout + kale salad, pork hominy stew. Grab a Stumptown next door while you wait.

    Their omelet was a bit watery, and the service was on the less friendly side in Portland standard. But still a decent alternative to Mother's Bistro if you don't want to wait in long line.

    The Fried Chicken breakfast was incredible. My wife ordered the mushroom omelette which was so-so.

    Excellent service, consistently good local food, always seasonal, always fresh. No fake anything. No 'background' music. Large windows, open feeling.

    Live jazz music every Friday evening! The Bijou is well-known as a breakfast spot, but they serve amazing entrees at these evening events.

    Be sure to put your name on list, don't wait to be called, or you will be waiting forever. Great food! Service isn't great, it is actually really horrible, but really if you to expect it, food is yum

    Great food, great coffee, great Bloody Mary. Roast Beef hash was basically a steak dinner.

    Add your own name to the list when you arrive. Waiting for the hostess to do it for you may result in getting bumped back in line. Locals know to add themselves and the hostess follows the list order.
