This place was packed on a Sunday morning and the inside was beautiful living up to the country vibes of the restaurant. Staff is super friendly and had really good recommendations. What we ordered: Cinnamon rolls(this reminded me of the old-school Entenmann's dessert had like a creamy custard in the inside of it, which was absolutely amazing. Came out nice and warm) Chicken waffles country, fried steak and eggs The country fried steak and eggs was 1 million out of 10 was the thickest piece of country fried steak I've ever had in my life and I'm not a big fan of country fried steak but this was a hit for me. She asked me if I wanted the white gravy or the brown gravy and asked her what was her recommendation. She said try both and I was glad that I listened to her. It was Rich. It was creamy. It was flavorful. Its homemade and it was huge. I would definitely recommend this place. If you wanna have breakfast I'm from California and I wish there were something like this.

Got sat immediately during lunch on a weekday. Ordered the tartare and garlic soup. I asked if they had lattes and they recommended me go down the hall while I wait for my order for a coffee at ranger chocolate how fun! The tartare hit the spot. Ice cold, the meat was fresh, Briney from the olives. Delicious would get again. Garlic soup, very rich. Never had it before it was delightful. Was a quick stop so I only grabbed a couple things but this was such a joy would recommend ! Looking forward to returning to try more things on the menu.

Everything we ordered was gorgeous and whimsical in presentation, but of course that would mean little without the flavors to back it all up, which it had in spades. The Thai steak tartare tostadas were incredibly balanced, with brightness and herbaceous notes from the vegetables, herbs, and sauce, great punch from the Thai spices, richness from the tartare, and a nice snap and slight nuttiness from the tapioca crisps cradling everything underneath. The foie gras dumplings were simply divine. I expected them to be rich and dense, but they were like little pillows, with a savory filling and a perfect balance of smoked leek broth, crispy fried leeks, and a caramelized shallot jam that ended up being the surprise star of the dish for me. Then came the main event, the Duck Stack, which I can only describe as a McGriddle on steroids (in the best possible way!). Somehow it all worked beautifully, with the rich duck gravy, fluffy pancakes drenched in syrup, spiced onions, and a fried duck egg tying everything together in perfect harmony. It was one of those dishes that sounds wild on paper but is totally brilliant on the plate and in your mouth. Really fantastic meal from start to finish, and I'm already excited to come back to try more of the menu (and the happy hour!) on a future visit.

I'm going to be thinking about those Foie Gras Dumplings for quite a long time…read more All items I tried last night at Canard were creative, flavorful, well presented and reasonably priced. The garlic fries were spicy in the best way, perfectly crisp, and served steaming hot. The Duck Stack (pancakes covered with duck gravy, onions, and a duck egg) sounded a bit odd to me (and probably many others). When I asked the server if it was good, they told me that people travel to the restaurant specifically for that dish. I'm glad I tried it. Again, very unique with a well balanced spice profile paired with the delicious undertones of a hot pancake. I know I would have never thought of that, doesn't sound like it should work, but....it worked! Service was great, atmosphere was a bit loud with a band playing next door, it was a bit overwhelming, plus a random dude walked into the restaurant and a server lit his joint for him as a courtesy(?)...stunk the place up for a few minutes, but as I thought about it, I decided that was about the most "Portland" thing I had seen all week on my trip :) I'll be going back for sure, I would love to taste through that entire menu. Did I mention the Foie Gras Dumplings? I never had anything like them in my life. That's a dish I would definitely travel back to Portland for.

They actually had a couple choices, and I got the cauliflower tinga. I don't know if it's because I had more coffee and alcohol than food in me at the moment, but it was the best dish I've tasted in a long time. Very spicy, but flavorful. Every cocktail unfolded in layers of flavors. (I tried a sip of my friends' drinks, and I had the Jazzy Aperol Spritz.) Very unique and complex combinations. Seriously, vegans--don't sleep on the tinga. I tried to order another one for the road but there was a snafoo, maybe they saw it and dismissed it as a dupe. It got figured out but was a little awkward. Regardless, I will easily give five stars because otherwise the service was lovely, and I'm going to be dreaming about this dish until I can get a babysitter and go back for a date night.

Hey love has a beautiful ambience…read more It's primarily a bar so the variety in food is limited. You order from the QR code and you don't get serviced otherwise, but they want a tip. It's just like ordering from McDonalds. The prices are high for very little. I paid $16 for a small drink called Home for the Holiday. Go to Sandy Hut instead, cheaper stronger and tastes better too. Jk, that's comparing apples to oranges....but if you want an espresso martini that's actually worth it...

Mothers is a great place to eat downtown, but I'd recommend making reservations or at least calling ahead. They get busy! Service was very friendly and our server checked in on us an acceptable number of times. Everyone we interacted with was also friendly and warm. The food came out quickly, hot, and prepared correctly. All items were quite tasty. It's not exactly gourmet in terms of you taking a bite and thinking it's the best thing you've ever eaten, but it's solid. I really want to try dinner there. Ambience is busy and bustling. Really it's what you'd expect for a downtown diner. This is the kind of place I would take people to who are coming in from out of town and I'm not sure how adventurous they are (mom & pop from Ohio for example) We will definitely eat here again.

But when our server was with us, they were very nice and patient with my questions and requests. It's a bit loud when the place is on the full side, making it difficult to have a conversation. I wouldn't bring my girlfriend who is hard of hearing, at least with a group. I'd be curious to try more of the menu. I was very much not wowed by the breakfast. The beverages were however very nice, and I recently had the cobbler dessert and it looked amazing and tasted better. We had the coffee (Extracto, love.), I had a really good hef and my mother a very well balanced Bellini that I was very pleasantly surprised with trying. From what I saw, the lunch sounds very good and I'd be more apt to recommend folks give that a shot if they happened to be going there too. I'm not sure if I'd recommend as a must go stop. Vibe wise, the ambience is overall really nice. I think having rolled flatware, even with just upgraded napkins, would better complete the aesthetic you initially see and feel. This would also connect with the price point of the food and quality of the beverages. As a fellow server, on that note I would expect more consistent stronger visual appearance standards with servers. (Sorry guys! But some of you looked great!) Overall, I'd definitely join a friend for coffee and lunch over there in the future. Just wouldn't be my top pick for a celebratory brunch or intimate dinner with a date or friends and fam.

While this place isn't open 24/7 anymore, the hours are generous. Remember, it's a local joint with tenured staff- they stop the grill an hour before close. No matter the hours, this place is such a gem and worth everyone's time.

Their all-day menu includes breakfast favorites as well as lunch & (ersatz) steak dinners. Stanford recommendations include the chicken-fried steak (save some of your gravy for the very very good hash browns). Pancakes are basic but exemplary quality -- fluffy but holding up well to butter and syrup. If the idea of having your food made on one big grill right next to everything else scares you, skip this place. But if you realize that from that grill and sometimes-shared grease you get delicious flavor, you'll love this place. The only downside is that they used to be 24h, but didn't fully recover from the pandemic. Still a classic PDX destination whether you're in the mood for comfort food or looking to sop up a night of drinking.

The restaurant was crazy loud and while the service started out good, Georgina, our server stopped coming by after a while. I had to ask someone to get her so we could pay and leave.
