Andrew BennettJuly 22, 2015The breakfast board was unreal. As was the French toast. These owners have tapped into a mystical dimension of culinary divinity.
Rory ParnessJuly 31, 2015Come between 2 and 2:30 for quick service and do not leave without trying the chocolate potato donut and bacon wrapped dates. Burmese pork stew and chicken hash are stellar too.
Lisa SmithNovember 23, 2013Worth the hour wait. Patatas bravas were awesome. And the breakfast board was a sight for sore (hungry) eyes. And the French toast...speechless it melted so gracefully in my mouth.
Al SJanuary 19, 2017The barbeque chicken here is fantastic. Get that and a couple of biscuits and you'll leave completely satisfied. I also really like the house-made chips and French onion dip, and the Toro red ale.
Marlon AlaanOctober 16, 2014This place I've read is popular with their brunch menu but I almost died & went to heaven with the goodness of their Pork Adobo which is sooo tender! I'm Filipino btw 😋😎
Adrian PhillipsDecember 17, 2015Exceptional service at the first come seating area at the bar. The biscuit egg sandwich with sausage was perfectly cooked (egg was just runny enough). Highly recommended for a filling breakfast bite.
Heather SmithAugust 14, 2017Drinks are GREAT! I want to try them all! And on top of that the food is epic and our waitress treated us (and everyone around us as well) like we were her best friends!
Serious EatsNovember 5, 2013The second in a trio of Chef John Gorham restaurants. The food manages to feel both fun and yet carefully crafted, with a wide range of global influences from Korea to the U.K.
GNTLMNFebruary 19, 2014Really unique dishes. Try the raddichio salad, the Burmese red pork stew, the polenta and sausage ragu, or John's Breakfast. One of the best burgers in town too. (definitely easier during the week)
Ami K-MJanuary 26, 2016Well worth the wait. Had the baked eggs, biscuits and poached pear fence toast. Sit at the kitchen seats to see the chefs in action!- Jenn YFebruary 5, 2013WILLIAMS AVE: Ridiculously popular brunch hotspot, with lots of glowing press. Dinner and happy hour are great too if you want to avoid the zoo (or go and be part of it!). Love their breakfast board.
Mike PodwalMay 20, 2012Flawless menu. We went family style with the breakfast board, spinach and sunny-side up, French toast, vegetable frittata +5 more dishes. 2hr waits not uncommon, but worth it.
Terri WileyJune 11, 2010Order the breakfast board, a great sampling of small bites. Today's board: pickled beets, chicken liver mousse, hard boiled egg, mini bacon strips, Greek yogurt, mini toasts, and strawberries.
Anna JamesDecember 28, 2014Start with maple bacon wrapped date, then the tasty African sausage. Coax your partner to order the Burmese pork stew and dig into that too. Everything is delicious!
Mary XJuly 13, 2014The breakfast biscuit is delicious with a flaky large biscuit. Chocolate potato doughnut is worth trying. Morocco chicken hash is a small sized plate that's a bit skimpy on actual chicken.
Benjamin ChaitFebruary 2, 2014Bring friends and order a variety of dishes—they brought our brunch whenever a plate was ready, so a constant stream of warm, delicious food we could all share and enjoy!
Becky GoldenMarch 19, 2018Fried egg, cheddar biscuit, house made sausage - a perfect breakfast sandwich. My boyfriend had the Moroccan chicken hash, was delicious. Great kimchi too.
Kellie C.January 2, 2013Sweet biscuits with blueberry compote were awesome. Potatoes bravas were maybe the best potatoes we've ever had. Still dreaming about them days later.
Jane HudsonOctober 16, 2011Go with a bunch of yer awesome friends before a Cross Crusade Race and order a bunch of plates to share! Biscuits + Gravy, Chocolate Potato Donuts to start. Don't miss the Roasted Apple + Glazed Yams!
ozlem herkeserJuly 13, 2016Potatoes bravas over easy eggs is very delicious. French toast great and you have got to try fried egg&cheddar buscuit. Very nice place and good service
Brad MaceJanuary 2, 2014Great "tapas" style of dining..try the toast, the French toast, the bravas, egg and cheddar biscuit, glazed yam with cumin-maple...super yummy!!
Jade FApril 22, 2017Breakfast plate and salmon hash! The place felt very homely and good atmosphere. Food was okay but the bar was fun to sit at.
Juston PayneAugust 15, 2012I thought the Dinner Protection Act of '34 banned brunches from being this delicious, but I guess Mr. Tasty and his Sons pulled some strings.
Annie TolochinskiAugust 25, 2017Best shakshuka Ive ever had! This comes from an Israeli who lives in NYC - I've had a lot of them.
Sam HoopOctober 7, 2015Pretty much everything they make is super dope, but the carbonara was especially memorable.
The steak, eggs and Corncake in a skillet is now my favorite dish here. End it with a chocolate doughnut.
- If you're visiting Portland, consider extending your trip a few weeks to allow yourself time to work through every item on the menu. Alternatively, the Polenta & Sausage Ragu, and the Potatoes Bravas.
Ben HortenJune 1, 2015The east Carolina cheese steak might actually be the best sandwich I've ever had. It'll be hard to try something else next time I go
- Micki BalderOctober 3, 2016Best meal I had in Portland. For brunch get a coffee cocktail and the egg and cheese biscuit sandwich with fried chicken. SO good.
Kate McCormleySeptember 16, 2017Rice pudding is life changing. Not too sweet, perfect balance of flavors. I took it down in under a minute. 🙌🏼
The Wall Street JournalAugust 3, 2014With the small plates, you don't have to choose between sweet and savory. I especially like the vegetable frittata and the Bloody Mary. Read more
One of my favorite places in Portland. Try the chicken Harissa hash, the radicchio salad, and the chocolate potato doughnuts.
Spencer BurnessJuly 23, 2015Everything. Breakfast board and the dates were excellent. Try the Beer Summore !
Jeff WeinsteinMarch 24, 2013Bloody mary with teriyaki chicken jerky, breakfast plate with beets and chicken liver mousse, and steak and eggs with jalapeño pancake + hot sauce. Incredible.- AmberNovember 3, 2016"Brunch without booze is just a sad, late breakfast." The Yazmina cocktail, hush puppies and the panna cotta all won this round.
Sheri CoonNovember 18, 2013There is usually a line, we waited about an hour to be seated. However, the service was great and the food was worth the wait. Get a Bloody Mary with jerky while you wait!
Brook ShelleyAugust 20, 2016Still my favorite breakfast biscuit sandwich, hands down, but he smoke salmon hash is a miss
Mary SFebruary 15, 2016Amazing brunch. But be warned: you can wait two hours for a seat at brunch. Bring a snack and a drink
Abbie KrajewskiOctober 21, 2016Delicious food, and they'll split bloody marys for you if you ask (and, like us, couldn't decide so ordered several)!
JennyMarch 24, 2014The bacon-wrapped dates and chocolate potato donut were both delicious. The french toast was the best big plate we had.
Shawn CookJune 15, 2018The Moroccan chicken hash was delicious. Flavorful! The staff is a very cool bunch of people. Cool environment.
Tigg OrrNovember 24, 2015The polenta and sausage ragu is AWESOME! Combine that with the radicchio salad and it's pretty much the perfect meal!
StephanieFebruary 28, 2016The simplest sounding but most decadent is the biscuit and berries. My favorite savory dish was the salmon hash.- Chris HoughOctober 19, 2013Bacon wrapped dates are to die for. Their Bloody Mary's are crazy awesome. Perfect brunch spot. Come hungry leave stuffed!
Jane LuoJuly 2, 2017One of the best new American breakfast I've ever had..really like the way how they cook eggs.- Juston PayneAugust 17, 2012This is one of those "can't go wrong" restaurants, but whatever you do, order a bacon wrapped date ($2). Also, sit at the kitchen bar and be mesmerized by the chefs.
