Me and the crew finished up a long day of field location work in the Portland area, so I figured…read morewe'd have a nice dinner. I saw that there was a Cheesecake Factory location here and I've only heard about the place, but never been. I heard that they have a huge menu, like a book to choose from. OK, I figure with 5 different people, they could all find something they'd like to eat here. The interior looks kinda on the upscale side. I guess this place isn't any sort of bargain dining, but we got the expense account, so it's all good. We get seated by our friendly host. Our equally friendly server takes our drink orders. Wow, this is some menu! All kind of stuff, from dinner salads, meats, burgers and tons of dessert choices. I didn't wanna just get a common burger, so I ordered a sort of meatloaf thing. The other girl on the crew ordered a salad and some one else got the burger sliders. Everyone just ordered whatever they wanted, and I'm OK with that. I think if I come back, I'd order something else though. It wasn't bad, just not spectacular. Our food come out in not too much time. They must have a huge kitchen to service a big menu like this. All of our food was tasty and I got no complaints from the crew. It was good to go out to a little more upscale place, but not too pretentious fancy like some French place, and definitely better than a Chinese buffet! Oh Yeah, we all got dessert, cause how could you not at a place called Cheesecake Factory. Yep, pretty decadent and tasty desserts. I'd sure come back here. We don't have any Cheesecake Factories where I live.

Sadly, something has gone terribly wrong at Happy Hour at what has traditionally been my favorite…read moregastropub in the Westside. For the past few months or possibly more, there is a server/closing-manager (male Caucasian, glasses, ponytail) who only reluctantly provides the HH menu. About two months ago, I asked when HH started, and he said in 7 minutes (i.e., it was 9:53pm). I asked how much I'd save on the beer I was contemplating if I waited for 7 minutes, and he said a dollar or two, so I told him I'd wait until then to place my order. It seemed like a pretty light day, yet he took a full 20+ minutes to come take our order -- it felt like he was punishing me. Last night, it was 10:10pm and I asked if there was a HH menu. He said "not yet." I thought he meant that they hadn't yet been published, but when I went to the bar to say hi to someone I know, I saw a HH menu already on the bar. I'd already ordered off the regular menu, and chose to not change to something on the HH hour just to avoid the conflict. I have no idea what is inspiring this behavior. Perhaps people who order off HH menus don't tip well? In any case, this new HH attitude has definitely dampened my enthusiasm for Fireside. Which is sad since it still has a great tap list and menu.

To be honest, when our plans to go bowling and have lunch at Big Al's today fell through because…read morethey didn't open till 3, but we still wanted to eat (and hadn't had breakfast yet at 1:30), I tried every option I could think of to not go to Bannings. When we moved to Oregon, it was under construction but we kept hearing how good it was - in fact, all the local FB pages would gush about it when a newcomer would ask about the best restaurant. And once it finally opened, we tried it, but it was kind of like Marie calendars and Shari's, but local. Ok, but not what we had expected for all the hype. So, after trying a handful of options it seemed Bannings was the only place we could still get breakfast so I begrudgingly agreed. Well, I was mistaken! I got the breakfast enchiladas and a strawberry orange mimosa. Now, the mimosa - I'll get that out of the way first. It was weird - it looked curdled. It just had mashed strawberry at the bottom and it actually was quite good. I'd do a normal mimosa in the future, but good. But the enchiladas - delicious. Like, I'll come back again and again for those. And they didn't charge me extra for the avocado, which I think is righteous because I asked for no hash browns. But not all places would do that, they'd nickel and dime even if you passed on one side for another. Additionally; my husband likes a savory breakfast and a sweet one too - so he often gets two breakfasts and though he may not eat all of both he gets that savory and sweet. Well, the omelettes come with 3 pancakes. Perfection. And, I took 3 bites of them - I usually might try 1 or not at all - they are very very good. Last - it did not break the bank. I've about ruled out breakfast out because of how crazy expensive the places that should be reasonable are. This was reasonable - PLEASE DONT CHANGE!! All in all 5 stars, will be back for breakfast; and hey - when I'm wrong I can admit I was wrong! Give them a try if you haven't!

​My go-to spot for a delicious and comfortable meal!…read more ​I am a regular at the Nordstrom Marketplace Cafe (2F), and it consistently delivers a wonderful experience. Whether you're a solo diner or with family, the layout is excellent--I love the cozy 2-person side tables when I'm by myself, and they have great booth seating for groups. The atmosphere is bright, clean, and very welcoming. ​During my recent stay in Tigard, I enjoyed: * ​Spicy Wild Shrimp Pomodoro: Perfectly seasoned and delicious. * ​Penne Bolognese & Chicken Meatballs: They offer gluten-free penne, which is a huge plus! The texture and flavor were spot on. * ​Cilantro Lime Salad & Roma Tomato Basil Soup: A fresh, comforting, and reliable choice. * ​Hot Mint Tea: The perfect way to round out the meal. ​What truly sets this place apart is the staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly and professional--the kind of service that makes you want to leave a generous tip and keep coming back. ### A few tips for your visit: ​Beat the Crowd: It gets very busy during weekend lunch hours, and takeout orders can take some time. If you're like me and prefer not to wait, order online in advance! It's a major time-saver. ​Parking: Since it's located at Washington Square Mall, there is plenty of parking available, though it fills up fast on weekends. ​Highly recommended for a high-quality, reliable, and friendly dining experience!
