    Shrimp Omelette looks like a new chef
    Todd H.

    Always a good time. Fast seating Immediate attention Friendly service Good breakfast Regular staff so they learn and remember what you like. I'm a regular. Maybe I get treated a little better than the rest however almost everyone in there is a regular so that should tell you something. Always a good time for breakfast

    Pancake Breakfast
    Britt C.

    We are from out of town and saw this place on yelp. It's right across from our hotel so we went there for lunch! This place has high stars for a reason! We were extremely impressed. We were seated right away, there were 5 of us. Had time to review the menu and place both drink or food orders at same time rather quickly. Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering and my god! The food portion sizes are ginormous!!! You get more for your buck that's for sure! The photos don't do it justice! The food was delicious and tons of options! Lots of lighting, seating and friendly customer service. Here's what we ordered with photos to give you an idea how huge these plates were. 1. Pancake Breakfast (3 pancakes, eggs and bacon)! He said it was pretty good. 4.2 stars. The bacon though tasted different and didn't feel like it was fried fresh. But other than that he liked it. 2. Two of us got Chicken strips and fries and these were not strips. These were like 3-4 whole chickens lol. I've never seen anything like it but they were so delicious! The fries were amazing. And I'm very picky on fries! The ranch was amazing as well and I'm a ranch snob. Very picky but this stuff was so good! 3. Chicken bacon ranch sandwich and sweet potato fries! She liked it but said her chicken was a bit dry. She would try something else next time. 4. Chicken Ceasar salad - it was pretty big. She said chicken was dry though and didn't really care for it too much or eat more than a couple bites. She ended up eating my chicken strips with me. She wouldn't get it again but shes also a picky eater! If you love salad this thing is huge. *She loved the chicken strips of mine she ate. Also had a Side of fries for the table as appetizer. Overall this place was so good and we would absolutely come back and try more items as there was so much to pick from. I highly recommend it. Only reason it got 4 stars vs 5 was cause their sauce was expired and gross colored and he was unable to use it. This place was also super affordable!!!

    Farmers omelette
    Jazzy S.

    We came in for breakfast on a weekend and were seated right away for a party of 3. It is a typical breakfast diner, with good service overall. - Chorizo scramble (3.5/5): Cooked well, good flavor, but could have been seasoned better. Not bad but not super impressive. - Farmers omelette (3.5/5): Large portion size, and with hash browns on the side. Hashbrowns were a bit bland, and not very crispy. The omelette had good flavor and paired well with hot sauce.

We began with the grilled Foie Gras add-on to the tasting menu. We chose the four course tasting menu @$225/pp, but there was also a 5 course and a 7 course available. The chef's presentation on each course was outstanding; almost too pretty to eat. Each course ranges from pretty good to exceptional in flavor. My only disappointment was that the duck and the Wagyu steak could have been cooked slightly more; and I was definitely expecting a buttery flavor from the Wagyu steak versus slightly tough. I requested medium rare for both the duck and the Wagyu, but these were rare. I would've preferred the duck to have a crispy skin for example.

Each time, I spoke with the owner to make a reservation, and the process was incredibly easy and accommodating. The food, drinks, and service were excellent on both visits. For such a small place with a tiny kitchen, they absolutely crush it! The bar was packed each time, yet everything came out beautifully and the staff handled it all so well. The atmosphere is such a vibe. there's always a great DJ, making it perfect for either a date night or a girls night out. The menu is made up of smaller plates, which makes it so much fun to order a variety of dishes and share with the table.

    To speak about Teardrop Lounge, I should probably start with this:…read more Ladies and gentlemen, I present my favorite cocktail bar. Not the best -- I'm not arrogant enough to claim that. I haven't been to every cocktail bar in Portland, and saying something is the best usually says more about your lack of experience than your conviction. But favorite? That I can stand behind. And I want to get that out of the way early, because of the amount of praise I'm about to pour on this place -- fully earned, completely intentional. The biggest crime here is that I only discovered it two weeks ago, after living in Portland for a year. It had been recommended to me countless times, and I ignored it. A mistake. A painful one. But now that I've found it, I don't plan on making that mistake again. I'm not typically an Old Fashioned drinker. In fact, I usually hate them. But somewhere between curiosity and too many episodes of Mad Men, I decided to try one anyway -- fully expecting to confirm my bias. Instead, it completely flipped me. Bright, almost citrus-forward in a way that felt unusual but entirely intentional. Balanced, smooth, just enough burn to remind you what you're drinking without overwhelming it. It was the first time I actually understood the appeal. I'm pretty sure I grew a few chest hairs that night. That alone would've been impressive. But it didn't stop there. The space is beautiful -- clean, intentional, but not cold. The staff are excellent: personable, engaged, and most importantly, authentic. Not scripted, not performative. The kind of people you actually want to talk to, and hopefully, eventually be on a first-name basis with. Now, all of that gets it close to a perfect score. But what pushes it over the edge -- what makes this place stick -- is the White Russian. One of the first drinks I ever had. My dad's drink. Not because of The Big Lebowski -- that came later -- but because it's just always been his thing. And at some point, it became mine too. Typically, when bars try to "elevate" a White Russian, they ruin it. They overthink it. Swap ingredients, tweak ratios, add unnecessary flair. And more often than not, it ends in disappointment. Teardrop does the opposite. They respect it -- but refine it. The coffee liqueur actually tastes like coffee. The heavy cream is properly integrated, not just dumped on top. The vodka -- whatever they're using -- is clean, present, and perfectly measured. There's a subtle complexity to it without losing what makes the drink what it is. It's the best White Russian I've ever had. No hesitation. I've gone back twice just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. If someone asked me what my death row drink would be -- this specific cocktail, from this specific bar, is in the conversation. Easily. Teardrop Lounge doesn't just make great cocktails. It reminds you why cocktails matter in the first place. And that's why it's my favorite.

    We came to Teardrop Cocktail Lounge while visiting Portland and were genuinely impressed…read more The cocktails were excellent -- thoughtful, well-balanced, and clearly made by people who know what they're doing. One of the best parts was how approachable the bartenders were. We asked for custom drinks based on our preferences, and both came out perfectly tailored. Creative without being weird, and strong without being sloppy. What really stood out was the price point. For the quality of cocktails, the prices felt very reasonable compared to similar craft cocktail bars in other cities. The vibe was also great -- relaxed, cozy, and not pretentious. It felt like a place where you could come for a special drink experience without feeling like you had to "perform" or order off a rigid menu. We liked it so much we actually came back a second time during our trip. Highly recommend if you're into well-crafted cocktails, friendly bartenders, and a laid-back but elevated atmosphere.
