The pancakes could have used more toppings, but other than that I have no complaints. Price for quality was good. There is limited seating for the crowd it draws, so I'd recommend a reservation if you want to be sure to get in.

The burger was cooked well and pretty good. Another time, I came here for breakfast. I ordered the french toast and the breakfast burrito. Both items were great.

We are typically brunch people, making it here most often on a Saturday or Sunday for a late brunch. Their benedicts are to die for... truly, they're all wonderful. Their Laser Potato is out of this world. Truly, my favorite item on their menu. It is fabulous in all ways. I often take a side of it home just to enjoy later. We recently tried them for dinner. Their muscles are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truly, the best I've ever had. This beats living in the southeast on the coast, any west-coast seafood restaurant, and every place I've ever enjoyed in Italy. They've certainly topped the muscle game. Highly recommend Olympic Provisions. I will gladly vouch that the negative reviews are from the haters, just to hate. The overall experience has never been anything less than fantastic. Photos to follow (hopefully, if I can find them! HA!) Enjoy OP next time you're in PDX!

This OG spot is still serving next door to Steven Smith, around the corner from locally-sourced COWBELL cheese, and just downstairs from MUSE Storytelling. On this visit, Kevin was taking chill care of the atrium, delivering BRIGHT, BEEFY, FRESH Hierloom Tomatoes with Burrata & crisp Focaccia breadcrumb that is SO RICH - no saucisson required! HOWEVER... if you decide to dabble, the infamous CHARCUTERIE ART should include the Green Peppercorn Paté - everything beloved about a mild sausage, more tender, seasoned to herbal perfection with split peppercorns & a sprinkle of flake salt - the meat medley is heavenly with a toasted crostini + Triple Cream Brie, cranberry/raisin chutney on top. Amen!

When we were new to Portland in 2018, Mother's was the overwhelmingly first recommendation for a "must visit" with a stern warning to "make a reservation" as we would not get in otherwise (due to its popularity! This was at their earlier location on the corner of 1st Ave and has not changed even in their larger space inside the corner of the Embassy Suites and across the street from the original Voodoo Doughnuts!! Some of my favourites over the years have included her Pot Roast, Meatloaf (in the very convenient "half & half" plate - no sacrifice of one for the other)! The breakfasts are the warm, delicious you need inside to start your busy day or to ride the "el" back up to your room to sleep off the carb coma (from the amazing waffles)!! Don't get me started on the pastries (if you truly don't wish this review to become a "50 Shades of Fatter After" ;) Don't question it, JUST GO!!

I found Mother's Bistro through Yelp and recommendation from the front desk person at my nearby…read morehotel. I arrived about five minutes before opening on a Friday morning. There was a short line forming. The large windows give you a sneak peek at the opulence waiting inside. Upon walking in the main entrance, the first thing I noticed were the chandeliers. The inside is gorgeous. The walls are painted various shades of greens making it bright and gives off a soft and natural feel. Given I was dining solo, I decided to seat at the bar located off to the left. It seats 12 comfortably. A big plus for me are the seats. They had a high back and are super comfortable. I could see sitting for hours gabbing with friends. Nice upbeat electronic music played in the background. Loud enough to hear but soft enough that you can hear who is next to you. I ordered the Omelette du jour - Three egg omelette special with bacon, spinach, caramelized onions, gorgonzola and blue cheese. It was fantastic. The first thing that hit my palate was the blue cheese and caramelized onions. Delicious combination. I was happy to see that the omelette was overflowing with caramelized onions as I love them. The accompanying roasted potatoes were cooked perfectly. I also got an espresso martini to wake me up and give me a buzz to start my day. Upon first impression, if I lived in Portland, I would come here weekly. I could see this being the place for brunch with girlfriends to catch up over cocktails.

The food is absolutely incredible- everything you can think of is made to perfection. Old school diner vibes with fast, efficient, and friendly service. The entire menu is affordable, the service is great, overall so nostalgic. The hotcakes are a must & the burgers w/ sweet potato fries are my go to. While this place isn't open 24/7 anymore, the hours are generous. Remember, it's a local joint with tenured staff- they stop the grill an hour before close. No matter the hours, this place is such a gem and worth everyone's time.

They also sent a bunch of hot sauce packets (Cholula, Sriracha and what not) which I can't thank them enough! The delivery was on time, and they are extremely reasonably priced. If you want to use your Amex Plat FHR credit for breakfast, then skip the buffet at Royal Sonesta which is like $15 per person and instead get the room service from here because they are so much better than the hotel's bare minimum breakfast offerings.
