We always stop in the Northwest part of Portland for lunch as we head to Seattle from parts South, and we have always admired this place but were afraid to go in with our brood (two 8's and one 10). However this time we chanced it, and even though their request were almost unreasonable (all the cheese on the side, the salmon without pepper, etc) the staff was friendly and quick and brought the food and wine promptly and professionally. We went there for lunch, and would likely NOT recommend this at night with kids, but for lunch on a beautiful hot summer day in July in Portland the lunch and dessert were perfect. As opposed to a recent review the AC was nice and cool without freezing us, and the salads which we also ordered were just right. The salmon was cooked to a perfect flaky point and my son ate it so quickly we had to order more. Would definitely go back as long as the kids have not burned any bridges.

Pros: great lunch spot for people watching and enjoying dessert

Cons: slightly pricey for a quick lunch with kids
