Lots of brunch food options. The mushroom omelet is nice. Well done cocktail menu and daily deals.

Tim Trautmann

Great brunch option. The staff is cordial. The Bloody Mary and the Manmosa are solid.

Fabulous Blood Mary's and you must have the pork eggs Benedict

Kjell Karlsen

Great Happy Hour , with great food. Nice atmosphere and friendly service .

$13 for a Bloody Mary with all the fixings. Could use more salt and pepper .

Brook Shelley

Solid biscuits and gravy , and an interesting shrimp Benedict

Maggie G

Great ambiance, food is done well (not excellent), worth the time - I'll be back for the bar

Kirk Allen

The best Bloody Mary in Portland.

A change of the reception staff or some customer training would be an improvement. It will take me a while to return.

Mark Sacks

Amazing egg sandwich !!

Shawna Widmer

Get the happy hour Mac n cheese . Don't ask questions just trust. So good.

Evan Roberts

Best tomato soup anywhere! The burger salad is excellent too

elisabeth r

Unfriendly reception - Stern talk, dismissive looks. When you have all you tables open waiting for a crowd in 1 hour, how. An you turn away customers on the premise that ‘most people’ take 2 hours.

3 different benedicts during weekend brunch . great fruit plate . great coffee . they also have a liquor license.

Karen H

Brunch , weekday brunch , lunch

Perfect place to grab brunch with a friend! Super adorable. I ordered the veggie hash , which was delicious. But I ended up eating most of my friends berry French toast .. it’s a must try!

Mr. Boozenik

The espresso braised beef w/ candied peppers is awesome.

Whitney Martin

Get in before 10 and order the Bartender 's Breakfast--it's delicious and a sweet deal!

Dylan Boyd

Hello bloody Mary's .

Bobby Swanson

Terrible service, food barely adequate. Second time I've tried this place, and still underwhelmed. Waited 30 minutes before getting acknowledged for a table.

Joseph Gallivan

Good happy hour , never had dinner there but it's a nice place to sit at the bar and drink.

Sejal

Ordered the green eggs (avocado deviled eggs ) with chicken apple sausage . Best sausage ever!

Philip Mandel

Wow. Egg white omelet . Superb!

Dustin Rowley

Peter Yang

The happy hour menu rocks.

Christiaan McPherson

The best Bloody Mary's in the city .

Judson Moore

Eat outside when the weather is nice for a real treat :-)

Ryan Josephson

If you come, stick to brunch as their dinner is subpar at best.

Wide Awake

This is the single worst restaurant in Oregon. I would rather live next to a McDonald’s than this dumpster fire.

Ella B.

Huevos rancheros are sensational!!

David Dixon

Ask about their reward program!

Judson Moore

Crispiest potatoes ever and incredible grilled toast .

Mimi Kim

Worst service easily in NW Portland. Be wary if you sit outside.

Grant Hughes

Don't order the Apple Chicken Sausage , they'll charge ya, but they won't bring it... Total poopstain!

Tess McBride

Happy hour 4-10 pm on sat!

Lauren Scott

The bellinis are so good!

Mark Dierking

Oysters on Wednesday night are a buck

Jake Campbell

Mediocre at best. Nell burger was bland. Nell Manhattan was not worth the cost. Bloody Mary looks good but is poor. And no shrimp as advertised. A lot better options in this area!

Ricky Engelberg

Steak frites is the go to here. Great fries . Super underrated.

Wide Awake

Nothing, they are a bad neighbor and the food is overpriced garbage.

Ben

Happy cheese plate mmm

Deb Boswell

Loved brunch but coffee was very average. Latte looked and tasted like a bad cappachino

Ben

Hot waiters here

Evan Roberts

Victoria Hall
