Editorial Review for JoPa – by Ivy Manning

The Scene
Once occupied by the western outpost of longtime Portland fave Papparazzi, the former chef has taken the reins and made a place of his own. Vaulted ceilings, colorfully puerile murals and a something-for-everyone menu draws a following of families with parents who like to eat well. If you're not with tykes, try the more serene bar for dining.

The Food
Whimsical items like hamburger shooters--miniature hamburgers on house-made buns--and snow cones keep the kids occupied. Adults can choose from a mix of entree salads--try the shrimp Caesar with vaguely garlicky dressing, cracker-thin pizzas with artful toppings, or homemade pastas with classic sauces like the slightly watery Bolognese, or tuck into the seasonal specials like beef paillard with comforting, if not overly salty, shallot sauce. The Cup o' Lava, a coffee cup full of steaming hot espresso brownie, is worth the trip out.

I've been here several times with friends and co-workers, and even rented out their upstairs "party" room for a work function. Never, not once, have I had a bad experience. Great food, good prices, great service, good sized portions all add up to a great experience I would go back for again and again -- but not on Mondays -- they're closed Mondays!

Pros: Consistently a great experience, good prices, GREAT food!

Cons: Maybe a wait for a table at peak times

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Jopa's food is ALWAYS great. We have been dining there off and on for years. If they had breakfast, we'd go, too. Happy hour food is great and $2.95...can't go wrong. THEY have HALF PRICE BOTTLES OF WINE on TUESDAYS! Yes, that's right, we were amazed when we ordered a bottle of wine and the server said, hey...you are going to get half off that. We weren't sure what she meant. Perhaps half off an entree? NO, the bottle of wine was half price! Well, I am a loyal customer anyway, but now I want to tell everyone about this. In times like this, we all need to tighten our belts, but still want to enjoy an affordable meal out. And throw in a bottle of wine for half price..take the rest home, you just can't go wrong. I should mention their food is really outstanding (as I said, we've been going for years). We have always received excellent, professional service and on a rare occasion (every restaurant has it happen): if the food was not right, they apologized and fixed it right away! So, the moral of the story: WINE BOTTLES HALF OFF with entrees TUESDAYS. Great food, too!

Pros: Affordable very good food, great service, affordable WINE, especially Tuesdays

Cons: water needs to be filtered, only 1 bathroom and hard to get into on weekends
