Where is the Best Hamburger in Portland, Oregon?
I’m baffled by some of the negative comments. I wasn’t going to review this place (its busy enough as it is, so I wanted to keep it as “secret” as possible), but now I feel compelled to do so. THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC! I don’t go often, as its a little above my budget, but I try to go at least once every month or two because the food is incredible. The gnocci is to die for (nothing close to a ‘donut’–come on for real?!) The chicken is so tasty and falls off the bone. We’ve ordered every special they’ve offered – loved them all. The various bruschettas are mouth watering. And Seth knows his wine! I really like Seth and Chantal – they are very nice, very real people. Chantal is not as engaging as Seth, but still friendly in a quieter way. And they are definitely NOT pretentious. I have to admit, on my first visit there, the place was busy and the service wasn’t uber attentive or outwardly friendly. But I came back for the food and so glad I did, because the service only impr
The food was pretty average, definitely nothing special.

My wife and I enjoy good food and even though we live in the area we tend to find ourselves driving into Portland to have good food from locally owned restaurants (we really try to support only those places). So that tells you how hard it is to a place close to home. We decided to try one of the few locally owned/operated in Beaverton. I have been here before a long time ago, it wasn’t a memorable evening the first time so we decided to try to give them another chance. Times are tough right now and business are slow. So when we walked in it was almost empty. As fast as we were greeted and sat, it took quite a few minutes for our server to acknowledged us. A pet peeve with 99% of customers.The menu prices where fine. The beers are overpriced! As I said I eat out a lot and I don’t know one restaurant in Portland that I have paid more then 4.50 for beer, and that includes places like El Gaucho and Blue Hour. The beers here are 4.95 a glass that’s more then a well drinks around town! T
