DO NOT EAT HERE!

by DianaN

DO NOT EAT HERE!! Unless you enjoy bad food and don't mind paying double for it, by all means eat here.

I have never ever in my life been so frustrated with a restaurant!

The service was okay but the food may have looked good but tasted horrible! I was not satisfied at all and they charge $27 a person, could've gone to Shari's down the street and the food would have been better! Not only that, I was charged DOUBLE for the meal of 7 people!! I called in to file a complaint with the restaurant and the girl who answered the phone said that all day she had received phone calls regarding a double charge under the restaurant's name, not a good way of keeping customers if they're going to continue doing that. I am extremely disgusted with their way of doing business and they are not being helpful at all. I am going to file for a dispute.

• Pros: Food "looked" good
• Cons: Food was crappy and they charge you double on your card!!

Easter Sunday Brunch

by JayPDXdiner

I took my family to Shenanigans on Hayden Island, for Easter Sunday. Thinking that it would be convenient for everyone to arrive and have a nice brunch and visit. I have not been to Shenanigans since the move from Swam Island. It would be a GREAT change in pace. We arrived on time and found out that the seating for the brunch was running late, about 30 minutes. Well OK, we could deal with that. Thirty minutes goes by and did another check-in, the answer was very vague. At this point it was apparent that the staff was very unorganized. Waited another 20 minutes and checked in again, finally some progress, we were seated. While walking to our table we had notice the main coarse and at a distance looked good. So we gathered our plates and headed to the salad tables and then onto the main coarse. Finding that what looked good at a distance was not so good dishing it up. The choices of food were less than what we had seen while going to the table. We dished up what we could and started to compared notes amoung ourselves. At first I thought that it was just me, everyone had the same thoughts. That the food was not being replaced with like food, it was being replaced with what was in the kitchen. Turned out to limit your choices of food, this was at 1:30pm in the afternoon. Knowing that the bunch was advertised to run until 2:30pm, what gives? After our discussion at the table had started we also observed the quality of food available. The quality was much less than expected for this highly advertised brunch, we paid $29.00 per person. THIS SUNDAY BRUNCH WAS VERY MUCH A DISAPOINTMENT IN PORTLAND DINING.

• Cons: Very Poor Sunday Brunch

Excellent time had by all!!!!

by Lioness

A large group of us went to Shenanigans for dinner and later to their lounge Tuxedo Charlies. It was my mom's 65th birthday. We have not had such a good time together for a long time. The staff was very attentive to all our needs, they even had the DJ shout out a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to my mom. We'll be back for Easter & Mother's Day

• Pros: Awesome food, service and ambience
• Cons: None found
