Little nooks to hideaway and get work done or a full bar where you can sit and have a glass of wine with friends. The workers were very sweet and helped us with out order. The menu isn't extensive but has a good amount of choices including lite food options. In the end we got one of their seasonal coffees, a wonderful artisanal tea, and a savory squash pastry that was to die for. I'm excited to return sometime in the evening for a cute date night. This is really such a versatile place. I can't imagine anyone being unhappy here. Enjoy!

The great thing was not only did they have a good selection to take home in cans but they also served food and had beer on tap. We both got a beer, Steve and I to go along with our meal. For lunch I had a delicious Portobello Mushroom sandwich which was excellent! Very fresh ingredients and very, very flavorful. I haven't had this particular mushroom in a while and it was great to have it in this sandwich! Lots of other promising sandwich and lunch options as well! I'd love to come back because not only was the food great but this location is in a neighborhood I'm not familiar with at all and I would love to explore it some more!

Arancini, is just great/okay, but maybe I'm not sure what it's supposed to be like. Crisp, rich, but not a stand out. All salad is fantastic! The bread!!

Many years ago, the southeast area known as Sellwood was the most populated area of Portland (more…read morepopulated than Portland itself was at that time). The Sellwood area featured a racetrack, and an infamous bar called the Whitehouse (known for its gambling and prostitution), just off of what is now SW Macadam. The street of Macadam derived its name from the early process of road paving, known as macadamizing. This was the first paved road in Portland near the turn of the 20th century, and tales abound of men racing their horse-pulled buggies down this road to The Whitehouse; an early form of drag racing I suppose. Within Sellwood itself stood a bar known as the Leipzig, and for years this was one of many watering holes on the southeast side near the bridge. Years later, the original owner would sell the Leipzig to its current owners, with one caveat, the Leipzig sign was to remain, and so it does to this day. Today the attached restaurant is known as Gino's. The bar inside was salvaged from a Chicago warehouse by the current owner, and adds a more authentic old-world touch to the atmosphere of the bar (the brass seal from the manufacturer is still on the bar today). The legacy left behind by the original owner, the Leipzig sign, often makes me consider what drives men to want to create and perpetuate legacies? The fish symbolizes the many years back in the turn of the century when fisherman used to come back from a day of fishing to the Liepzig, where the owner would let them clean the fish in the back of the restaurant. I wonder too, how many of those he was given for the Saturday evening special... Distilled http://distilledpublishing.blogspot.com/

It's a bit dark, a bit funky, but unpretentious and authentic, kinda like it's run by a family rather than a marketing firm. The food comes out fresh and the menu offers some interesting twists (not just the usual fare) which for me took it from 3 stars to 4. The service, also, was just wonderful - friendly but pro, all the way. I had the Shirred Eggs (baked and smothered in tomato sauce), a nice change from my usual over easy order, all savory and saucy, and the hash browns they came with just took it to another level; the fluffy pucks are almost mashed on the inside, with a crust-like outer that collapses in your mouth. Perfect to sop up all the tomato sauce with. Seating is tight for breakfast in the downstairs area, and although there is a patio, I'd skip it this time of year; it's all covered with dark material and with no natural light, it feels pretty cave-like out there, IMO. Still a great neighborhood place, and a nice menu of French-forward items too, if that's your thing. No frills, just good food.
