    Migas
    Tram D.

    I got the migas and I enjoyed my scramble with the tortilla but wished it came with more than two as I felt like I had to ration it. eggs were fluffy and everything was well seasoned. loved the chorizo they used. the complementary beignets were delicious but not what I was expecting for a beignet. they were moist and fluffy on the inside and not too sweet.

    We had a reservation for 11 am on Saturday morning, but arrived at 10:40. There was no waiting and we were immediately seated at a lovely table near the window. The restaurant is really cute and feels a bit trendy. The staff were very sweet and offered us the most amazing complimentary beignets. The food came quickly and was delicious! When we left, there was a line out the door, so I recommend going early!!

    Awesome breakfast stop! We had a small group of us, and we got a table fast. The service was great and we had our order in fast. The food took a while, but it was worth the wait. So many great dishes. From classic bacon and eggs to some wilder options, there was something for everyone. It was all great! Great food, great service!

    Mini Benedict (half order) heart of artichoke in there! Yum

    We just dined at Cheryl's, and Georgia was our waitress, she was absolutely AUHMAZING! This was our first visit, and it did not disappoint. The space is cozy and inviting, with an open kitchen right in the center as you walk up the slight incline from the entrance. There's a charming little café area to the right and restaurant seating to the left. The large windows overlooking the city from this beautiful old building create the perfect atmosphere, especially on a cold, rainy day. We were greeted with fresh, hot beignets to start, which was such a treat. My husband enjoyed the Mexican Mocha, and I had the London Fog, both were perfect for warming up on a chilly morning. We couldn't decide what to order, so we split the Huevos Rancheros, and wow... it was AUHMAZING too! It was loaded with zucchini, broccoli, potatoes, carrots, spinach, and caramelized onions. We added linguiça sausage, which took it over the top. Every bite was delicious. To make the experience even better, Georgia brought us a sample of the Portuguese Fried Rice, which was incredibly thoughtful and gave us another reason to come back and try more of the menu. By the end of our meal, our bellies were full, we were warm and cozy from our drinks, and we were already talking about our next visit. So glad we found this gem thanks to Yelp. We'll definitely be back! Thank you, Georgia, for making our first visit such a memorable one!

    Beignets, sort of a French-Cajun donut, very light and tasty.

    Cheryl's catered my husband's and my wedding reception and did a great job. But we had never tried their brick and mortar restaurant. We recently took a staycation in downtown Portland and decided to have brunch there. At 1030 on a Saturday morning, we were still able to get a table. It was crowded, but the noise level was do-able. Service was excellent, very friendly and efficient. All of the waitstaff seemed very relaxed, which I thought was great. They bring beignets to every table as a starter. They are light, airy and not too sweet. For breakfast, I had the Ed's scramble, which had a ton of veggies in it, but also cheese. It was served with a ranchero sauce and sour cream. This was very, very good. My husband had the chili and cheese omelet, he said it was great and it looked really good. This is an excellent dining spot that has been in Portland for years. I can see why.

    A very quaint spot in the heart of downtown Portland. Went on a Sunday and had very little wait . There is the main dining room and it appears they expanded to next door. When you first sit down you are greeted with warm beignets and a friendly waitress. The selections were hard to choose from just one item and from the looks of other tables the portions were very generous so I ordered a half portion which let me try a few things.

    Portuguese Fried Rice was delicious!

    Googled breakfast spots in downtown Portland and this gem of a restaurant popped up! From the greeting I received when I walked in to the delicious food I ate made this a place I would recommend and return to! I even appreciated the reprimand for brining my Starbucks cup in there when they have the best coffee. Great indoor/outdoor seating! It was a pleasure to be there.

    Bright space with lots of windows, tall ceilings and seasonal decor... tried the Green Omelet & Huevos Rancheros. If you get an omelette, I recommend try it with the potatoes. They have a nice seasoning that actually complements the Omelet. First few bites of the omelette were a little bland till got the part with the feta in it. Their coffee is a local coffee. The server did a great job of keeping the coffee topped off. Though the coffee comes with sugar and cream it's tastier on its own. The complementary beignets were delicious. Airy and not overly sweet.

    Been here a few times now- amazing service and lovely atmosphere. Plenty of seating and even tho it's packed, I'm able to get a table quickly. Staff is amazing and very friendly. Portuguese fried rice is recommended for a reason. It's very savory and it's the spot, especially when you add the fried egg. I've had bacon wrapped dates which were HELLA GOOD. Drinks are fire too, well crafted and they have quality mimosas. I had the cinnamon and it is ONE OF BEST I've ever had. When I'm in the area & they're open, I will stop by just to get one lol. It's famous for a reason. The quality is amazing and it not gimmicky. Just good comfort food that will hit the spot.

    Visiting Portland and found this place on yelp for breakfast. Made a reservation and glad I did, this place was very busy when we came around 10am. The servers were attentive and very kind. Even got complimentary beignets. We got a split mimosa for $22 instead of $12.50 each glass. Came with a cute bottle and a small oj. The fried rice was so yummy and the crab benedict was probably the best crab benny i've had ever. It was real Dungeness crab was and they did not skimp. potatoes were alright but the benny was so yummy and the asparagus added a nice green crunchy layer. would love to go back!

    We were visiting Portland and looking for a place to eat, and Cheryl's on 12th was on my itinerary, so we decided to check it out. The wait wasn't nearly as long as described, which was nice--probably helped that we were only a party of two. That said, once seated, it felt a bit uncomfortable being placed in the middle of a very crowded dining room, especially with tables packed closely together. The food came out quickly, and the coffee was great, which we appreciated since we were short on time. Overall, though, the experience felt a little overhyped for a breakfast spot. It wasn't bad by any means, but there are probably other places we would try next time. Since it was nearby and convenient, it worked for this trip--but I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

    Sheesh, this place is busy, and understandably so. We waited approx 15 minutes on a Sunday morning, which wasn't too bad. Overall, I had a pleasant experience. While I did end up with crab cartilage in my crab benedict, and egg shell as well, it was addressed. I appreciate the customer service and acknowledgment on Cheryl's part for this. It was made right and not brushed under the rug. I enjoyed the food otherwise! I didn't care for the free beignets, but liked everything else. While I didn't get a chance to come back while visiting, next time I would still dine here, as the food was delicious and the customer service is wonderful.

To eat I got the tomato soup with a grilled cheese, which was absolutely fantastic. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and I cannot imagine a better meal after spending all day walking outside in the rain. The fries were super crispy and I liked the batter. My partner and I shared some of their breadsticks, which were deliciously baked (fresh!) and came with a super refreshing basil crema and a nice tomato-y dip. Wonderful all. My partner ordered fish and chips, and was surprised to find that it is one large fillet of fish, not multiple pieces like you would typically expect. He said the fish was fine, but a little tough. Overall, a wonderful experience. I definitely hope to return. I highly recommend this place as a refuge during the cold winter months!

The foie is not buttery and the truffle tasted thin and had 0 flavor. I think we would've been happier with a dozen oysters. Iberico pork for 2. This was enough for 3 of us. The majo sausage and spatzel were excellent as was the pork. Think of thick cut pork chop and it tasted just like it. We had one piece dryer than the other but they were cooked closer to medium.

We were seated right away, wherever we wanted. I picked a shady indoor spot booth. I'm not sure, if it's the right booth, I then realized, they have the swings, by the window facing Burnside. I wanted to move, but hubby won't! No matter how much I begged, he ain't movin'. Then, I said: 'the music here is too loud.' His answer? 'There's always something!' So I stayed. I checked out the Patio. It might work, for the group. At least, there's one of us, who love alcohol. That may give them a reason to come. (She's driving the rest of the group). Since we are heading to an event, not far from here, we didn't have much time to take leftovers home, we didn't have a cooler, it's almost 80 degrees out, so we decided to eat something we could share. We picked the BBQ COHO Salmon Sandwich. Seared Coho salmon glazed with Bourbon BBQ sauce topped with baby Aragula and pickled red onions on a Portland French toasted potato bun. There's a $2 discount recess during happy hour (3-5pm). We were there at that time. (Is that the reason WHY the music were soo loud?) It was served with hand-cut fries. Both were just the perfect taste (delicious), and size for both of us. But, for some reason, I was still tempted to have something else. We looked at the desert menu, and decided on the Peach Crumble. Food taste so much better, when shared! Enough said. (We waited so long for this one, that we almost didn't made it to our event! We were enjoying our time here, that by the time we got to our car, we were rushing, and made it two minutes later we would have been late!) Negative: Music is too loud! Restroom could be improved.

A lot of places treat zero-proof drinks like an afterthought, but here they actually had fun options. The Phony Espresso Negroni was a great non-alcoholic cocktail and made the meal feel special without needing alcohol.

We came here because I heard they have a great seafood menu and my kids recently started enjoying oysters and other shellfish that used to be "gross". We got here about 15 minutes to opening on a Friday night and there was already a line. We were fortunate to still get a spot outside which worked out because it wasn't too hot and the outdoor space is much more spread out than inside. We ordered a dozen oysters to start. Love their various droppers with infused mignottes and hot sauces. Really made it fun to try out different combos. We also got the cold smoked mussels, the hamachi crudo, grilled oysters, lobster roll, rockfish, and the little gem salad. In order of least favorite to favorite, the little gem salad was good but just not that memorable or spetqcular the way the other dishes were. Next, the grilled oysters were flavorful with the garlic and lime but I wished there was a little more kimchi flavor and overall more sauce given the size of the oysters (they were huge!). The lobster roll was good and I appreciated the different take on a lobster roll but my favorite lobster rolls that really accentuate the lobster flavor and this masked it a little. The hamachi crudo was a surprise. It's a dish you see a lot and I was a little worried about how the pineapple might overtake the rest of the flavors but that didn't happen. The balance between sweet, savory, sour, and crunch from the peanuts was perfect and every bite was really enjoyable. Finally, my favorite was the cold smoked mussels. You never know how fish sauce and tom kha might overwhelm everything but again, their chef understands flavor balance really well. You could taste all the flavors, the smokiness, the slight bitter and sour umami flavors and slight sweetness to round it out. It was outstanding and highly recommend. They also have great cocktails that go well with their dishes. Really enjoyed the experience here and will definitely come back.

Vibe is loud, fun, cool. Employees are having a blast, both behind the beautiful open kitchen and hearth and those walking. Can be a little hard to converse depending on where you're seated. Food is really good but for some reason, not great. Can't put my finger on it but everything was a 4/5*, even though it looks like 5/5*. Service is punctual and professional, but missing something personal. Maybe a little perfunctory? A really solid meal. Fun vibe. But my least favorite of our 3 dinners in Portland. Would I try it again. ABSOLUTELY.
