The restaurant is simply decorated and really clean. They really pack people in there, but it's packed in not a suffocating way. Our party of 5 got seated about 10 min after we checked in. All employees we came across were super nice especially our waitress. She was fab! Ordered the Cajun Scramble [$19] which came with potatoes & a biscuit. The potatoes were some of the best we've tried and the scramble was really flavorful. Also got the Praline Waffle [$15] which came w/one huge waffle with all the praline fixings. That was sooo esp the white cream that it came with. Tried a bite of the Banana's Foster French Toast [$16]- super good as well. Also took a bite of the Cinnamon Roll [$9] which was warm and gooey just the way I like it. The whole meal was straight fire! No misses. Would have loved to try their dinner menu, but it was our last day in the city. However, if we ever find ourselves in Portland again, best believe we're coming back for more. Excellent establishment!

However, there was quite a bit of tendon that wasn't trimmed off the bone which made it chewy and inedible. The baked beans were deliciously sweet and the coleslaw tasty. The fried oysters were crispy outside and tender inside. Highly recommend getting this. The restaurant had quite an amount of bugs flying inside so it was annoying having to wave them off as they circled around our food.

The freshness of the seafood was out of this world. In my honest opinion, their best dishes are the…read moreFlautas, Tostadas, and the sashimi. The flautas delivered an exceptional crunch with a lot of filling - alongside their lettuce and sauce that just made the dish amazing. The guacamole tostada was to die for. It's refreshing and very unique and complex in flavor. The sashimi was very fresh and beautifully presented. I think I could have lived without the Hokkaido Scallops and the Ceviche, but they were still fresh nonetheless.

Food is good but definitely not worth the wait and for what you pay. The line took about an hour…read moreto go through. Their beverage service seems to be a bit of a cluster as people wanted something while waiting so went to the bar inside which they initially served people but then they started telling people you couldn't order there so would need to wait in the hourish line again for something (ie if you wanted something after ordering your food or like a modelo cause they moved them all from the inside bar to the outside). Probably had the worst tasting Hazy ipa ever from their interior bar as they would only allow cans for the exterior after saying they wouldn't serve the exterior people (much of what they said didnt make much sense and seemed like they just couldnt handle doing that many orders although the interior was only a couple patrons). Took about 30 min to get food. They say they sell out but seems like they just put up the sign and post that on ig once the line length will take them to closing (ie about an hour to hour half line from 8pm). Foods good but seems poorly managed creating waits and wasn't really that busy compared to other places of similar menus.

The waiter came by several times to check in on us and served each course right after we finished the previous course. The seafood was absolutely delicious and everything was seasoned to perfection. I probably wouldn't get the pork again because it was pretty dry but I would definitely come back to try more of their seafood offerings. The lemon curd peppercorn meringue was also delicious and was executed perfectly- such a unique combination.

For those of you who imbibe, the cocktail was super unique as well. Wish I grabbed a photo but I drank it too quickly!

I saw online, ordered, and demolished more bread and bagels in one setting that I'd like to admit…read more I actually hadn't heard of Fairbanks Bread/Honey Bagels until I saw an online post and was intrigued. My friend and I had recently started ranking Portland bagel spots and even tried our own bagel-making home attempts so I knew I had to try this place out. I grabbed a variety of bagels for the both of us and giant country loaf as well. The menu/ordering site opens up on Fridays and you pre-order/pick up at Ollini on Mondays between 3:30 pm - 6:00 pm (just down the street from Cafe Olli). I was able to find good street parking nearby and swing by for my order which they put together pretty quickly. Service was quite friendly able to accommodate separating a couple of the bagels so I could more easily hand them off to my friend. I am so so so curious how these bagels taste fresh but I will say they were pretty darn good when we tried them later that day as well. The poppy seed one...did lose a lot of poppy as we ate, but c'est la vie, that's what I expect to begin with. My only qualm was that the bagels were a bit toothsome pre-toasting, but otherwise, good quality and taste. Now the loaf of bread, that's another story altogether. Could wax poetic about how good that is for paragraphs more. I was so excited when I cut it open because I knew I was going to make a set of heirloom tomato stacked tomato toast on this bread. Great taste, texture, flavor. Would absolutely buy again without hesitation. All in all, a really solid spot in Portland for bagels and bread! Put an order in (prices are quite reasonable) and enjoy!!
