Immaculate atmosphere and the exact sort of thing we were looking for for breakfast. We didn't get her name but saw on the receipt her name might have been Davi, she was such a bundle of light and life, so attentive and kind! She immediately gave us wonderful recommendations which we all adored. The table ordered praline bacon to share (do yourself a favor and get this), one ordered the praline bacon waffle, another ordered the bananas foster waffle, and I got the seasonal vegetable hash. We were all in HEAVEN with what we ordered. From the first bite to the last it we were all absolutely stunned by how delicious and well made everything was. I savored every bite as did my compatriots. One gal ordered a couple things to go for her family (huevos rancheros for the hubby and cinnamon rolls for her kiddos) and our waitress Davi recommended they bring out the cinnamon rolls unfired so that she could pop them in the oven when she got home after a short drive. It was such good attention to detail that felt like such a friendly offer. Absolute superstars, the lot of you. Next time I'm back in Portland I'm absolutely spoiling some friends here with what I can only describe as a transcendent experience.

Screen Door is a Portland icon…read more When family visited and wanted to go to all of the "touristy" spots in Portland, I immediately made a reservation for brunch at the original Eastside location. I know they get busy on weekends but we had no problem making a reservation and being seated promptly indoors. Their indoor space can get quite loud. They do have a covered side patio as well. We ordered some of their classic dishes: chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, banana foster French toast. Everything was absolutely delicious. I did feel some sticker shock at the prices ($17-24 ish) but the portions are quite large. They do have a kids menu as well as a full bar. Customer service was excellent, with a seemingly genuinely friendly server. Though they were busy, it was easy to get assistance as needed. The decor is wonderfully charming. Overall, Screen Door might not be an every-weekend kind of thing, but for an out-of-town visitor, a special occasion, or craving you just can't shake - it's absolutely worth the stop.

The setting on the water is beautiful, the staff has always been good, and the drinks make it feel like a nice night out. That said, the prices are getting pretty high, and I was disappointed with the seafood quality this time. For being this close to the ocean, I expected it to taste noticeably fresher. I've honestly had fresher oysters in Idaho. We also ordered the seafood sampler, so we got to try a good portion of what they had available from the market, and nothing really stood out. The view, service, and drinks are what keep this at 4 stars for me. If you took those away and judged it only on the seafood for the price, I'd probably be closer to 2/5.

There were some good food choices, but some bad ones too (including some listed on their on-line menu that wasn't available), and the service was the opposite of friendly. Fork and Spoon was listed as one of the best Filipino restaurants in the Portland area. I wanted to go some place where the food was made-to-order. After looking at their really colorful and put together website, saw that they had dishes like Humba and Champurrado, along with what looked like Chicken Inasal. We found free street parking right in front. I noticed the sign that stated no public bathroom was available. The inside was very quiet, with one couple quieting eating their food, and an older non-customer gentleman minding his own business. We were taken to a table near a window, and given a menu. It's a very simple one, and none of the dishes I was looking for were listed. I asked the hostess/server about it, and she just shrugged and basically told me she had no idea. Yeah... So I reset, and ordered the things that we always order at a Filipino restaurant. COMBO Meal ($23) - Consisting of Pork Adobo, Rice, Bihon style pancit, and shangahi lumpia. The steamed rice was excellent...sounds goofy to say, but have had so much bad white rice at restaurants lately. The pork adobo was good, using very fatty pieces of pork, but cooked to be very tender without being mushy, and the strong sauce was great over the rice. I liked the pancit, with the large vegetable pieces and it worked since it had been made-to-order. But the lumpia was bad: it had been deep fried from frozen, and the center was still cold. Plus, the meat had been ground too finely, causing the filling to be mealy. Pork BBQ Skewer ($17) - three skewers of pork barbeque. It was thinly sliced and expertly skewered, but that's where the goodness ended. The sauce wasn't good, just a very weak teriyaki type sauce. The meat had quite a bit of gristle (which is OK with me if it has flavor, but this did not). It had been cooked on a flattop grill so missed the charring of the meat over fire. It just tasted old, like it had been reheated Have no idea why this is $17...the price fooled me into thinking this would be a 'deluxe' version of this classic...should be closer to $7.50, especially since it was served as an app (no rice or sides). Halo-Halo ($9) - a shareable ice cream dish, topped with a scoop of really good ube ice cream and a shower of fruity pebbles. It came with a piece of leche flan and various sweet beans and jelly at the bottom. I really liked this. My only wish was that it was made with shaved ice instead of crushed ice, but I understand it can be too time consuming. It just felt like we came to a place on a day (or time) when everyone was just trying to get through the day. The prices were good (except for the BBQ), and the portions decent. But along with unfriendly service and the hit/miss taste, it's a place I wouldn't go out of my way for (even though I love the name and their website).

The egg noodle bowl on the top with fried chicken and tofu was phenomenal. The chicken was similar to fish sauce wings and the tofu was very caramelized and had a nice salty coating of sauce. The bottom was nem nướng and pork with the woven noodles. It was a very big portion, but the fresh herbs/veggies made it feel balanced. An order of spring rolls were also ordered, but wasn't in the photo. It was ordered with crispy pork belly. Based on some reviews, I was skeptical about ordering the pork belly, but I was pleasantly surprised. The skin was very crispy and you could hear the crunch from across the restaurant. The restaurant is very open with big windows, but I liked the concept of the open kitchen look. The service was really good. We ended up ordering pork belly and shrimp for our spring rolls and the worker politely came by and told us they were out of it. He was able to accommodate for it and was very kind about it. Even though you can order at the table with a QR code, the staff was very attentive.
