    I loved this restaurant but yesterday was not the best, we ordered the breakfast sandwich which we have had plenty of times before but this time it was not amazing, Inside was very leaky from the egg and the bread and bacon was burnt alongside the potatoes as well we had to send the potatoes back. We did make the most of our bubbles with every bite though we had to wait a little longer for a refill, our lady was super busy though serving and bartending at the same time. As we did appreciate her we just felt that maybe they were under staff and thats why we didn’t get the experience we are normally known to get.

    Thank you for the feedback Ondrea. I am sorry that your food and service did not measure up to your prior experiences. I have addressed the issues you brought up with our chef and I know that we can and will do better in the future. Given your prior experiences I hope you will give us another chance to show you our best. Sincerely, Jason Dondero General Manager

    Excellent spot to eat before the Heart concert at the Moda Center. Amazing server was very busy but handled it all with grace and professionalism. All in all a fun time. Will be back.

    My apologies for the previous review of your restaurant. It is incorrect, I confused it with another restaurant I dined at on my recent trip to Portland. Which, unfortunately was not good at all. The food, drinks, ambiance and service at your restaurant were all very good. We will definitely dine there again next time we’re in Portland!! Thank you. 😊

    Great food and location next to convention center at a reasonable price. One had the burger, another the tacos and I had the fried chicken and we’d all go back. Really loved it and plenty of food!
