Best Lunch Restaurants in Portland

Made a lunch reservation for 2 people @12:15pm. The restaurant was basically empty (only a few tables with guests seated) when I arrived. We were seated immediately at a window table with a fabulous view. A friendly server arrived promptly & answered all our questions about the menu items. My friend and I shared Caesar salad, king salmon, goat milk cheesecake and cappuccinos, all of which were delicious, well prepared and beautifully presented. We enjoyed this tasty lunch and impeccable service… we’ll be back!

The food was good. We all had the BLT. The fries were perfect. The coffee is was not hot. The server never came back to refill or ask me about it.

Everything was delicious and well paired, for example the gravy really enhanced the fried chicken rather than overpowering it or making it soggy. Mac and cheese was just the right richness and texture. Cocktail was very tasty. Presentation of everything was thoughtful. Generous portions. I was super impressed with the quality, especially for a casual come-as-you-are restaurant. Would definitely come back if we lived in Portland!

Excellent experience for our group of 6. The neighborhood is a bit desolate at night these days, but restaurant is very warm and inviting once you enter. Great food, generous portions, every dish was well prepared, and service was friendly and prompt. The short rib was just outrageous in terms of not only taste but also pure dimensions - haha - recommend highly.

Our divine waiter went above and beyond. He graciously pointed out all the vegan options on the menu and his suggestions were spot on. After the meal, I got caught by a stopped train and a hot cookie was presented to me. A memorable experience for sure!
