What People Are Saying About Caldera Public House

In Short – This appealing historic space includes maroon walls and huge front windows overlooking the steep street. The cuisine is unfussy and easy to enjoy. Appetizers like shaved prosciutto with crisp pears and sliced Romano cheese are straightforward. Entrees include halibut bathed in a light mustard sauce--nicely balancing sweet and spicy--and blackened shrimp sauteed in a slightly creamy wine sauce with red peppers. For dessert there's s'mores, a gooey delight straight from the campfire.

The best!
by bkwurm1
Fantastic place to grab a burger, hang out in the beautiful outdoor patio, or relax upstairs. The waitresses are friendly and personable, and the menu offers a lot of low-cost options. They've recently started offering little buckets of fries or tots, too. Their daily specials never disappoint. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat in Portland!
- Pros: Outdoor patio area and new upstairs seating
- Cons: on-street parking

A sweet & helpful waitress, a good sandwich, a relaxing patio -- definitely going back!
by pfk2
What a wonderful neighborhood find! Had dinner there last week with a friend who lives a few blocks away and will definitely be going back. Our waitress was the sweetest and very helpful. Being a vegetarian she allowed me to order one of the burgers, sans the meat, and substitute egglplant. So nice. My only complaint -- the chocolate cake was a bit on the dry/stale side. I felt really comfortable and welcomed there. Like the outdoor seating.
- Pros: Welcoming bar staff, very helpful and friendly waitress

Beer and setting - good; food and service - not so much
by KFC2008
We went there last night to meet up with some friends. The beer and outdoor seating is nice. They were out of some primary food items, but not a big deal except for the fact that it reduced the food choices by about 25%. The food I got (eggplant sandwich) was mediocre.
I was mostly put off by their service and attitude. It's as if they were doing us a favor by serving us. Citysearch website says they are open until 10pm which apparently is an error. They close at 9pm on Sundays. Instead of telling us they were closing, they turned the lights off on us out on the deck at 915pm. If they had mentioned they were closing, we would have left. We thought their approach (turning the lights off on us) was rather rude.
I might go back for a beer, but not for dinner and not for good service. What a disappointment.
- Pros: Beer choices, outdoor seating
- Cons: minimal food choices, minimal service
