Sorry, it wasn't that good for me. I went there with a friend for the first time, the service was good but the fare was just ordinary. The corned beef hash was as dry as ashes and the eggs benedict way too lemony as others have noted. The biscuit was very good, maybe if I'd had biscuits and gravy or the pancakes it might have turned out differently.

A huge thank you to the staff at Sanborns!!!. I had a huge family get together and for the life of me could not find a local restraunt that could serve a party of 13 for breakfast on a Saturday! Well i was pretty discouraged but left a voice message on the service at Sanborns and was thrilled when I got a call back saying they would love to book the reservation for our group. Well it was everyones first time there and we all loved it the place was so cute the staff was friendly, it was spottless and the breakfast was amazing!!! We will definately be back!!!

Best Breakfast in Portland. We had breakfast at Sanborn's 5/22 and loved it. I had the eggs benedict, my wife had an egg white omelete with sun dried tomatoes, artichokes and feta. We split a fruit plate and biscuts with homemade fruit preserves. Absolutely delicious!

The eggs benedict had perfectly poached eggs, nice thick slices of ham and an excellent hollandaise that is made to order. Not too lemony at all as some other reviers have indicated. I didn't try my wife's omelete but she said it was awesome. The biscuits were your basic buttermilk recipe but when paired with whipped butter and the house made fruit preserves they were transported to another level.

The fruit plate was generous and far better than the 75% melon plates you get at other restaurants. All in all, it was the best breakfast we've had in Portland. Everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. These folks know what they're doing.

Delicious Breakfast!. My sister has always raved about this place and I finally got to try it today. She got her usual mango German pancake while I opted for the special fig and chevre German pancake. I rarely eat anything sweet for breakfast but could not resist this interesting option. It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! Would definitely go back just for that. Our other dining companion ordered eggs, potatoes and bacon. This didn't quite live up to the German Pancakes but was still pretty good. The menu is quite extensive and I can't wait to go back to build my own omelet!

why the hype??. I recently tried this place and and thought it was less than ok. I'm diabetic and I will tell you they have got some really tempting dishes. Fearing being put into a coma, I opted for the spinach,eggs,and steak (kelly street special).Not all that good. The spinach was way over cooked, almost to the point of turning to green liquid. The meat tasted like the only seasoning used was worscestershire sauce, and had the texture of being cooked the day before, refrigerated, then left on the grill in a pile for far to long. As for the potatoes, you might have to trade in some carbon tax credits before you eat them. That was ok for me because potatoes aren't really diabetic friendly. To be honest, I could have done better with the leftovers in my fridge. The place just doesn't do it for this foodie but if it works for the local trendies then maybe they will stay open for awhile
