    Cheese Steak Wrap

    Little spendy for a pizza, but it's very tasty. Don't think it's worth 24$ but I knew how much it was when I ordered it, very tasty, the new menu is fun to check out and the cheese steak wrap is always good

    Best bloody marry in the PNW! Great service! Always a good atmosphere and employees are amazing.

    Food has really gone downhill in the last 2 years. Over salted and over priced. Would not recommend.

    Food is excellent - not your average pub food. Service is top notch. Friendly & attentive staff & relaxed outdoor seating.

    Came here recently with a friend and left thoroughly impressed. We started with the oregano fried…read morebread appetizer, served with a crème fraîche basil sauce and a roasted tomato dipping sauce -- it was absolutely delicious and set the tone for the rest of the meal. For mains, my friend ordered the elk burger, and as a self-proclaimed elk burger connoisseur, her approval means something -- she thoroughly enjoyed it. I went with the pulled pork sandwich, which was good and flavorful, and paired really well with their pepper & cabbage coleslaw on the side. We also split a cup of the roasted red pepper and tomato bisque, which was honestly a highlight of the whole meal -- rich, well-balanced, and worth ordering on its own. Drinks deserve a shoutout too: their non-alcoholic options were great. My friend raved about the guava lemonade, and I had the blueberry vinegar shrub, which was excellent -- bright, crisp, and refreshing.

Close enough to PDX hotels to Uber. The food was spectacular. The salads are huge. The ribs looked amazing. The lamb meatloaf was extremely tasty and the chicken pesto fettuccine was able to be made without fettuccine for me with just extra veggies and it was stellar. They did not even balk at substituting the extra veggies.. the swordfish special with the mushroom risotto and grilled asparagus was awesome. Everything was cooked to perfection and our waiter. Torben was the highlight. He had a wonderful, can-do attitude, very accommodating and extremely friendly. He really treated us amazing and his workplace as though restaurant was his taking pride in his job. The desserts that walked by our table made me wish I had only shared a meal with someone. Everything looked incredible. This needs to be put on your top five to try list.

They had a nice draft and bottle selection of German beer. The food was delicious. The pretzel was scrumptious with 3 dipping sauces that were all good. I ordered the Jägerschnitzel, prepared breaded and pan fried like a Wienerschnitzel. It was cooked perfectly with the pork tender and thin. The red cabbage was great too. The warm German potato salad was not traditional. It tasted more like seasoned fried potatoes, but they were still good. My only suggestion would have been a little more gravy. My husband got the Maultaschen, which we had never had. It was a pasta filled with sautéed leeks & cheese, topped with asparagus, & mushrooms in white wine sauce...delicious. Everything was great!!!

I needed protein but it's ALL ABOUT THE BRETZEL (with fermented beer cheese, spicy Dijon, and better-than-butter chicken FAT). It's chewy and toasty and crusted in very fine flake salt - DIVINE! Hausgemachte Wurst (x2 wurst) - Weisswurst was smooth & slightly smoked, excellent with curry ketchup. Bratwurst was shorter & grilled, perfectly herby, although Dijon adds heat - needed because it was a little dry. Add-on Spatzle is comforting, a little charred, probably better with a Bock or Pilz (or CHZ PLZ!). To make it all go down EZ - the very best kraut I've ever had anywhere - rich with slight fruit (ACV?), and smooth like butter. It's warming winter food but still tasty AF in the sunshine.
