We were in a date night rut and I wanted to try something new. So I hopped on Yelp and searched for…read more"date night" and found this gem. So fun! I was a little confused how to get in so we walked in to the restaurant (The Hive Social) and asked. They let us to the secret stair case and said we'd need to figure out the rest for ourselves. And we did. The portrait swung open and we discovered the coolest bar! The ambiance was very cozy and perfect for our date night. Our server was very friendly and made some suggestions when asked. We ordered a couple rounds of drinks and several small plates to share. They even staggered our apps to not overwhelm our cozy table. Everything was delicious. Well worth the drive and we will be back for sure (and probably bring friends)!

I ordered a couple cocktails here and both were top notched. The bartender was busy but was still friendly. The vibe here is trendy and definitely a great place to bring a date. The night I came there was a live singer performing.

I learned of Giving Cafe & Bistro through a Yelp Elite event. It was such a delight!…read more I go to Milwaukie once a month or so on errands. I will usually stop in the area for a bite or drink. And now I've discovered my favorite place to stop in at when I'm in town! My favorite cuisine is Thai, and my favorite Thai food is fresh salad rolls with peanut sauce. That's what I ordered on a cold, blustery day..that with a pot of jasmine tea. It sure warmed me up! The service is great! The server was friendly with a beautiful smile. She checked with me to see if I needed more hot water or peanut sauce. Yes please on the peanut sauce! I will definitely be back!

Many positive things about my visit to Giving Cafe & Bistro. Thai Fusion isn't usually up my alley,…read morebut heard it was a new restaurant and their menu looked really good- lots to choose from! I started with a cucumber basil margarita- very refreshing. Then ordered the cashew nut entree, medium spice and it was delicious- all my favorite veggies with chicken, and added shrimp to it (additional charge). I really enjoyed the flavors and probably could've gone up a spice level- there is a pepper oil on the table that I dribbled on and really enhanced the flavor. I loved dipping the rice in the juice as well. So good. Very cute inside, and wish I could give the waitress more stars- she was really nice, helpful, attentive, and made really good drinks. I also got the lychee martini to end and it was delicious as well. Very highly recommend to visit. I heard multiple people order the pumpkin curry and may have to come back and give it a try.

Quaint and charming restaurant in downtown Milwaukie with a Mexican/Latin style twist on entrees…read moreand full bar. We've been for both breakfast (pictures attached & speak for themselves :D) and lunch- both times were delicious! Make sure you go early enough or there's a chance they will already be sold out of something on the specials board as happened to one of the guests in our party of four. The hubby says they make a great bloody Maria with their own spices and nice veggie accompaniments. Same thumbs up for their margaritas too. Not really a place to take large groups but given their hospitality, I'm sure they would try. Best to call in advance for that need. Super friendly staff, it almost feels like you've gone to their home and treated like family. You've likely seen the place if you've driven on McLoughlin/99E as they're right on the corner but only accessed from northbound side. A small parking lot but since it's the north end of town you're likely to find a spot on the street too. Support their restaurant ... would love to have them be around for a long time!

I had the Philly cheesesteak brisket, and it was delicious, smoky tender, salty, and flavorful the baguette that it was on was so soft and yummy. The garlic Parmesan fries were also amazing and they gave you a ton of food. I ended up eating my brisket sandwich for three different meals. And you can get a six dollar corndog with a big piece of sausage in the center so that's pretty cool too. The staff is amazing the environment and ambience is very fun and everybody was having a great time. This will be our new neighborhood joint for sure.

This is the absolute best Texas style barbecue brisket in Portland. I am continuing my quest to make that statement a lie, but as of right now, this is the best. I can't say how good this brisket is.

Dean's Homestyle is a busy, old school diner that feels like a step back in time. The food is solid…read morewith a huge menu nothing amazing, nothing bad, just dependable comfort food. Where it struggles is presentation and flow. The entry isn't very inviting, seating is tight, benches are worn, and the bathrooms and back areas could use a serious cleaning. There's no clear waiting area or place to pay, which makes checkout awkward especially since it's cash only, leaving you feeling like you're in the way just trying to settle the bill. Service was a longer wait, understandable with how packed it was, but a little polish would help. The staff works hard, but a cleaner, more uniform look and keeping the attitude in check would go a long way. Dean's has history and loyal regulars, but it could really benefit from a modern tune-up. For now, it lands right in the middle: 3.5 stars.
