    This place has such a relaxed, cool summer vibe! Great tasting, fresh food, along with an awesome waiter, and funny times. Only one complaint. Since we were seated outside, we noticed a homeless man going from table to table, actually sitting down at random family tables and so forth. After he ate food he asked for from strangers, changing tables a few times, and obviously making guests feel uncomfortable, I was expecting the staff to ask him to leave....yet they just ignored him. This type of thing is happening all over Portland due to the rising homelessness problem, but it's the restaurants responsibility to ensure the guests are not bothered in this way. And although I care about the homeless, we must set a limit at some point. It's sad to see people hungry, but allowing them to come into our private space that we payed to visit, seems a little too lenient. If I worked here or was the owner, I would train everyone on how to handle that situation as politely as possible, but stern. If all restaurants allowed this, I would never eat out.

    Very good food, casual atmosphere, and a great option for those who want a place that allows dogs. They offer water bowls for the dogs, and have a grassy area to sit as well. Your dog will be comfortable. Service is friendly enough, but *slow.* The big downside was that we seriously waited an hour for our food, and it wasn’t busy. People who came in long after us got their orders before we did, with no acknowledgement from the wait staff. We’re pretty sure our order got lost somehow, and it eventually resurfaced. We weren’t expecting a comped bill or anything, but an apology and explanation would have been appropriate.

    The burger was great. Nice and juicy. They were very accommodating, as we all had ours served differently, as needed for our dietary needs. I had mine with a gluten free bun, my husband had his with a regular bun (which was nice and soft) and my daughter had hers served on lettuce. My only complaints were that although the servers were very courteous, the service was pretty slow, and it took a long time to get our food.

    Food is very good. Always consistent. Sat and Sunday brunch start s at 10 and is getting more popular as word spreads. Indoor and outdoor fills by 11. 18 local beers on tap, plus full bar. Service is hit or miss. Depending on day and staffing level.
