The kombu ice cream was a really interesting flavor, definitely something different. You can tell they put thought into the food.

Lunch special is $12 and you get a lot. I had leftovers for later. Perfect for a quick, filling bite on a tight schedule.

Came here for the rock fish with lemon caper sauce. It was cooked just right, really enjoyed it. The place has a nice, cozy vibe for sure. A bit on the pricier side, but the fish was solid.

A bit of a walk from the main spots, but I&rsquo;d do it again for the food. Found a spot a couple blocks away&mdash;not too bad. That squid ink pasta was the real deal, so flavorful and cooked just right. Glad I made the trip!

Been coming here for years, and the Portland nacho week special is why. That grilled jalape&ntilde;o kick is always just right. Got the frisbee of tots again this time&mdash;still huge, still had leftovers. They keep it consistent.

The Franziskaner Weissbier here is exactly what I was hoping for &mdash; crisp and just like I had in Germany. The patio was perfect for a warm evening, really let me unwind.

The vintage decor here is so cool, felt like I stepped back in time. Spent a good 10 minutes just looking at all the old memorabilia on the walls. Really sets the vibe for the meal.

The chicken tikka masala at the buffet was my favorite. The sauce had this nice, creamy texture and the spice was just right&mdash;flavorful without being too much. I went back for a second helping.

The chicken shawarma here is so good! Perfectly seasoned, and the portions are huge. We always get extra so we have leftovers for the next day. Great spot to grab a big meal with friends.

The tandoori chicken was cooked over charcoal, which is how I prefer it. The naan was fresh and warm. I just wish there were more vegetable side options to balance the meal.

That elk burger was so juicy! 🍔 The flavor was really unique. Fries were crispy and golden too. Perfect for a casual hangout with friends after class.

Spinach dip with sourdough was a great quick bite. North African lamb meatballs were the real star though. Lean, flavorful, and that harissa sauce was spot on. Got my order fast, which is key for a lunch break.

Came in for the bread pudding French toast. Really liked how they nailed the texture - crispy outside, soft and custardy inside. The bear decorations are a cute touch, my kids were pointing at everything. Service was quick and friendly.

Been coming here for years and the peach buffalo wings are still spot on. That sweet and spicy combo is just right.

The espresso drinks here are solid, just what you&rsquo;d want in Portland. The seating is surprisingly comfortable for a hotel cafe, too.

Hannah Jo at the bar remembered my usual order, which was a nice touch. I really appreciate their sazerac&mdash;you can tell they use fresh ingredients. It&rsquo;s a reliable spot for a well-made drink.

A solid downtown spot. The food is consistently good, and service is always decent. I had the salmon last night&mdash;it was cooked just right. A bit on the pricey side, but you know what you&#39;re getting.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The honey chicken was delightful, and the brussels sprouts were the best I&#39;ve ever tasted. The service was fast and friendly, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal.

Server was super friendly and gave great suggestions. We didn&rsquo;t feel rushed, which was nice. But honestly, for the price, I expected a bit more attention&mdash;like checking in once or twice more. Still, solid service overall.

I&rsquo;ve been a regular for years. The seasonal orange creamsicle margarita was a nice change&mdash;creamy vanilla with a hint of orange. My only note is the booths are a bit snug, but the service is always friendly and attentive.

Came for a quick Sunday lunch. Upstairs area is nice and bright with all the windows. Quiet too, which is a plus. Staff was friendly and checked on us. Good spot for a relaxed bite.

Been coming here for years, and the kebabs are still the reason. Always juicy, never dry, and they get the seasoning just right. The rice is good, but honestly, I&#39;m just here for the meat.

The fish and chips were the highlight for me. The batter was so crispy, and the fish inside was incredibly flaky and fresh. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The portion was generous, too.

Good spot for a casual meal. The draft beer selection is solid. Menu has enough variety to please a group. Service was efficient, got our food quickly. A reliable choice when you need something straightforward.

Cozy spot with booths, connected to the pizza place. Live music lineup was solid, friendly vibe. My booth was a bit cramped, but the atmosphere made up for it. Good for a casual night out.

A nice family-run place. The vibe is authentic and welcoming, which I prefer over the more corporate spots. The pasta was pretty good, though the sauce could have been a bit more flavorful. Decent for a casual dinner.

The baba ghanoush was the standout. Perfect smoky flavor and texture. Plenty of good veggie choices too.

The brisket tacos were pretty good, especially with the fresh slaw. The sandwich was decent too.
