Cute shop! I've been dying to try it and finally stopped by around 2PM on a Sunday and no line!…read more Which was a win The presentation? 10/10. It looks insanely good. The taste though... not bad. Just not as exciting as it looks. I got the banana pudding and was really hoping for more banana flavor. It felt pretty subtle, and there weren't many banana pieces in it. We also tried the Mud Sundae, which was fine but kind of underwhelming. The ice cream itself is thick and creamy, which I liked! But if I'm being totally honest... I might still choose Costco soft serve over this. It was still fun to try and the area is super cute. I'm glad we went but it's probably a one and done for me.

Beyond beautiful cuts of meat!…read more The people that work there are friendly and helpful. Beyond the butcher shop, they have a restaurant with a menu that is absolutely delicious.

My husband is always craving a steak for his birthday and I've heard never-ending, amazing things…read moreabout Laurelhurst Market, so we made a reservation to celebrate. We got seated right away, the hostess was friendly and mentioned the birthday listed on the reservation. To start, we ordered two cocktails, the beef tartare, and the shishitos peppers. The beef tartare was incredibly fresh and flavorful and the mustard vinaigrette was the perfect touch. The blistered shishitos were good, however, they were underwhelming compared to everything else and we probably wouldn't order them again. For our entree, we shared the Brandt Ranch Ribeye which was phenomenal - definitely one of our top 5 steaks we've ever had. We prefer medium rare and it was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of crème fraiche to not overpower the flavor of the steak. Plus, the bacon vinaigrette went very well with the entire meal. We were incredibly impressed with the meal and the atmosphere, and we'd join again for sure. The area in which our experience lacked was the service, which was disappointing and didn't make us feel great ordering anything else. After we got our appetizers, and then entree, we were not checked on once and I had to wave down our server for another round of drinks. At the same time, he was supposed to get us a water refill which we never ended up getting. Our server didn't mention anything in regards to a birthday, never asked how our cocktails or food was, checked on every table around us (besides us) and we didn't even get a thank you as we passed him heading out the door. Because I've consistently heard amazing things about Laurelhurst, I'll take this as a fluke because I definitely believe in second chances, especially when the food was that good, but I hope the next server we get is more attentive and friendly. Neither of us would expect a birthday beverage or dessert, but after dining at several places where they offer a glass of champagne, a small dessert, etc. it definitely stands out when an establishment like this doesn't offer or acknowledge a celebration. Till next time - Cheers

Will definitely return to try different things. The server was friendly and attentive. There is plenty of seating, and a great deli counter as well.

If you can get in before they shut their doors do yourself a favor and get there!

They're open on Mondays, which is rare since many restaurants are closed, so it was nice to try it before leaving. My sister ordered the spaghetti and cheese with two large meatballs, garlic bread, and the Chicago beef with Italian sausage, and both were great. The meatballs were especially delicious. I just wish more were included, though extras are available to order. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan sandwich which was very cheesey and flavorful. Afterward, we noticed you can add pepperoni and make it a "Chicken Parmeroni," which sounds like a better option. The large antipasta salad with balsamic vinegar was fresh and tasty, and it's nice that you can choose your dressing . I really love the antipasta salad! Overall, a really enjoyable meal and definitely worth recommending! Wish there had been time to try more of the menu.

Let me start by saying I didn't take pictures. For anyone who reads my reviews, that's a big part…read moreof them: ALL THE PICTURES. Presentation, portions, half eaten, etc... but I didn't. Because the food was so damn good. Look - I'm going to start off by saying I grew up practically on The Hill. Out here, you'll have to Google it (make sure to add 'RI' to the search or you'll get some political BS), but back east, "alls you's have ta say" was those two words and anyone would know you knew your Italian, food and otherwise. There isn't anything on this coast that vaguely compares to The Hill's food, but walking into and biting out of Geraldi's was having a little piece of home. There's this little shop in the old town where the owner knew your voice when you called to order... you'd walk in, and you heard "hey cousin!" whether you were or not, and that's the vibe you get from Geraldi's. The food is much the same - you get something that looks like Nonna was at the range all day with her sauce (it's not gravy - no meat) and you came home looking like you haven't eaten in weeks: "I'm gonna fatten you up before you leave" and you walked out the door with a sub (sandwich, that is - not a submarine) that weighed the same as a newborn. We got three of those babies: a Chicago Beef (seal of approval from the orderer - only 'complaint' was that they had to eat it all in one day because the bread was quote too soggy to make it to lunch the next day - travesty), an Italian sausage (just as delicious when 1/2 was reheated the next day) and a Chicken Parmeroni (I thought somehow even better when 1/2 was reheated the next day) and I could have absolutely gone back the next day if it weren't for A. the leftovers 2/3 of us had and B. the meal planning we'd done for the week I also grabbed a side of giardiniera because I will get it anytime I see it available and I inhaled it - I need to know if I can by it by the vat instead of the side cups because it too was like why I can find at home and amazing!! I'm still upset I didn't take pictures though!

Ordered the 2-piece fish and chips along with a dozen oysters…read more The fish and chips were honestly the best I've ever had. The fish was super fresh, flaky, and the batter stayed crispy without feeling overly greasy. The fries were solid too, but the fish itself completely carried the meal. The oysters were really good as well and tasted fresh. The whole place had a laid-back seafood market type of feel, and everything tasted high quality. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in Portland.

We ordered the happy hour fish tacos which were good, although I wish the fish pieces were a little bigger. The clam chowder was delicious and ended up being my family's favorite dish. It was so good we ordered two bowls. My personal favorite was the Rockefeller oysters. They were amazing and I ended up ordering another rounds of them. Overall, we had a great experience and I'm looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu. FYI - street parking can be tight depending on where you park

When we tried the ham, it didn't smell fresh and had a slightly sour taste. I calmly went back to let them know and ask if it could be checked, since food safety is very important to me as a breastfeeding mom. Instead, the manager his name i believe is Ryan came out, grabbed the meat from my hands, threw it in the trash, and told me "don't ever come back" -- in front of other customers. I felt shocked and humiliated. I was polite the entire time and simply raised a reasonable concern. Very unprofessional and disappointing experience

Gosh, not much else to say because others have such a good job with their reviews. They're currently looking for a new location and I'm sad to see them leave their old spot on Williams.

It's clearly a popular spot, and from what I hear, getting there early is key if you want their famous croissants. Everything we ordered was amazing a rocky road cookie, a chocolate croissant, and the ham and cheese croissant. Even two days later, everything was still tasty. The flaky layers were especially impressive. I'm a big rocky road fan and had never tried it as a cookie before this one was a winner and tasted fresh, not processed at all. Definitely looking forward to visiting in person next time.
