The Courtyard Restaurant

The comfortable mahogany booths and eclectic light fixtures of Kennedy School's Courtyard Restaurant invite you to hang out, stay awhile. Transformed from an old school's cafeteria, we replaced the traditional lunch-tray offerings w/hearty pub fare, handcrafted ales brewed in the onsite brewery.

Great atmosphere, good food, but it's spendy for what they offer. Probably the neighborhood . The restaurant is clean but they have tables with grooves that definitely do NOT get cleaned (see pic).

Alex Brehm

This is where you'll want to eat while you're at the Kennedy School. Not to knock the other small bars , this is just the most complete menu.

Breakfast here is really not that awesome your better off walking down to Alberta st and getting something yummy at the many cafes that line the street.

Laura Askelin

Nice gluten free menu . Amazingly fast and friendly service . Grab a communication breakdown burger !

Erin

Incredible hummus plate appetizer .

Matt VL

While the burgers and sandwiches look amazing, don't overlook the bowls st the top of the menu.

This former elementary school feels like perpetual recess for kids and adults alike. On your way to the dining room, roam the halls and run around the gym .

Ashley Sams

Tons of bars and restaurants—must visit in Portland!

They serve the Ruby Ale and Terminator Stout milkshakes here.

Our service was excellent! Thanks for everything Zachary!

It turns out they'll Cajun-ize anything if you just ask them.

The same food and beer like in the bars . Prefer the boiling room
