    Delicious and cozy brunch place! The Hazel Room is a popular place with great food. We were able to walk were we are staying in Portland. We walked in on Sunday around 11am and quickly got a table. We ordered the Cardamom French Toast and the Poutine topped with Egg and Bacon. Both were really good. The Poutine was fabulous. There was an option to do mushroom gravy. Would order again. Instead of fries, it was roasted potatoes which was perfect for brunch. For drinks, we got the Hot Nurse and a french 75. They were both very good. Overall, the Hazel Room is a solid brunch place!

    Mall quality "Build a Breakfast " . How did staff know that I am a handyman ??? My Bloody Mary was like.........some assembly required . Fortunately , I have had some IKEA craftmanship to realize that others had all the parts , but mine was a little different . What next , bring my own skillet ?? The food is overpriced , overspiced , and some not nice . Wallet took a hit .

    I have been wanting to come here for a while! The restaurant looks like a house, with a prominent sign up front. I tried to put myself on the waitlist online but I was not able to for some reason. We got there at 12pm. Street parking is available. My family and I went inside and we placed ourselves on the waitlist with the hostess. It would be a 35 minute wait. It was packed and busy. I got the text that they were ready for us at 1. We got there and the hostess let us know they were clearing the table. The restaurant has a warm, cozy, and home feel to it. It had a rustic feel to it, and different types of dining tables/chairs. Menus and water were on the table, ready for us. Our waitress let us know that they had run out of potatoes and any dish that had potatoes would include a substitute (veggies or fruit). I thought that was strange, as most of their dishes had potatoes. I had really wanted to get the southwest scramble and hash but I didn't because of that problem. It turned me off and I had a hard time deciding what to get. I ended up getting the bee gee breakfast red eye gravy and my choice of protein like sausage. They have GF options, including the bread. I chose GF bread. For my drink, I got an orange mimosa. It wasn't as strong as I expected but the French 75 was. 25 minutes later, our food was served. I took a bite and realized the gravy they put on the biscuits was lukewarm. The sausage was hard to cut through and was rubbery. They had a great selection when it came to the berries. We also ordered the French connection, southwest, and a pancake. The service was nice, our server was sweet but she didn't check in on us enough. It was decent meal.

    This place was cool with vintage themed decor! The Hazel Room offers all the necessities: coffee, cocktails and food! Everyone working was very friendly, and when we arrived on Friday around noon, our group of 5 was seated immediately. I believe they are first come first serve on weekends, and reservations the other days for parties of 6 or more. Since we'd just had breakfast, we decided to skip the food and just get drinks. A few people ordered the Espresso Martini which was my favorite that I tried. I ordered the Hot Nurse which was warm and cozy! The Corpse Reviver was also really good! I would definitely come back here for brunch!

    Cardamom French toast

    Great neighborhood brunch spot! The restaurant is in an old house, super cute and very well-decorated. Great ambiance, split into two rooms and it doesn't get too loud. There were a lot of 2-top tables. We arrived a couple minutes after 9 so we were able to be seated right away. Starting around 9:30, there was a wait to be seated. They have coffee on the covered deck. We came for Mother's Day, and brought our toddler. There were actually quite a few toddlers that brunched at the same time! We were able to get a high chair as well. I had the french toast platter. The cardamon french toast was quite tasty. The eggs and bacon were fine. The food wasn't piping hot, so subtracting one star there. I also had a latte which was served in a big mug and well appointed with latte art. I ended up not finishing it and they had a to-go cup for me. Overall, lovely experience and I would definitely return!

    Don't get comfy. 20 minute wait outdoors, cold, rainy, blah blah blah, and within 1 hour of being seated we were asked to surrender the table for others. We were seated, we ordered, we ate, we ordered additional drinks, the tabs were brought immediately and we were asked to go within minutes. I spoke with the floor manager directly as we were leaving and they apologized for "offending us ". We were not offended. This is a nice place to pop in, get the Hawthorne vibe in your veins, but not a place to spend time catching up with loved ones. Eat and go. Food details. I had the Mexican mocha, the design on top was cute, there was no mocha to be found anywhere in the drink, and the spice level was intense. I then ordered a latte and it was mostly foam. I ordered the chive biscuits with the red eye gravy on the side since I've never had that, two eggs over hard and the chicken sausage. The chicken sausage was cooked well and had nice flavor. The eggs were cooked well the red eye gravy, unfortunately did come smothered all over the biscuit, so it was extremely hard to discern which flavor was what. The red eye gravy was a shock to my taste buds but once I adjusted to it, it was not bad at all. I definitely didn't get any coffee flavor in the redeye and it did overpower and a biscuit flavor, but I would get the red eye gravy again. The chive biscuits were nice and fluffy, but I couldn't get any flavor from them with the gravy on top.

    poutine with bacon, egg and gluten free country gravy

    Visited here when visiting family - so glad to have found it! I let the staff know that I have celiac and they were very helpful about what was safe - and gluten free is noted on the menu (thank you!!). The breakfast was fantastic - I had the poutine with bacon and egg with the GF country gravy. The restaurant is really fun in a great old house. I can't wait to return!

    To be honest this was the best breakfast we have had in Portland. We got the pancakes and French toasts. Everything came out perfect! The server was so kind and inviting. Just a great experience! My daughter name is Hazel so she was so excited to come here! We will be coming back for suer!

    Forget the 1hr+ wait at Jam on Hawthorn ( I mean been there done that) Hazel Room had no wait for us. Got lucky on parking first side street Coconut cardamom French toast hell yah!!! Grapefruit mimosas yes please. The Bloody Mary was stacked with veggies. Man I'll come back here 3 times before that nasty line at Jam down the street. Hahah

    Big Gee Breakfast
    Rashi T.

    Its been a long time coming but finally, one weekend I actually made it to the Hazel Room . The vibe is cute and cozy and felt it had a very inviting feel to it . I was not a fan of the seats they put us in despite half the restaurant being empty. We started with a nice tall cup of cappuccino and a cardamom bun. The bun was doughy and not cooked and when I let the staff know about it they said that it comes that way !!! Sorry but no , I know what a cardamom bun tastes like and it certainly isn't the taste of raw flour. I decided to just not eat it and make myself sick . The Big Gee breakfast was scrumptious and very filling , I loved my coffee and the vibe of this place and that`s something that will bring me back here again . The staff can do better at customer service though .

    Had the Square Meal with the roasted veggies option and it was scrumptious! The veggies had a subtle Asian flair to them which was a delightful and tasty surprise. Gluten Free toast was nice and chewy and the jam was terrific. They have a very cozy space that is now twice the size of what it was when I was last here several years ago. Theres also a few tables on the porch outside. Service was very nice. This is definitely one of my top spots for breakfast in PDX!

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.

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.

    This was an incredible introduction to the Portland food scene, delivering some of the best…read moresandwiches I've ever had. Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers. Griddled Mortadella (5/5): An incredibly delicious sandwich that perfectly balances rich, salty, and savory flavors. It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll. It had a generous portion of perfectly tender and sweet bulgogi steak that pairs with their melted jack cheese. The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side. Logistics Tip: Street parking is surprisingly easy to find in the surrounding area, even on a busy weekend evening. The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside. If you're a first-timer, don't hesitate to ask the staff for suggestions, as they're exceptionally warm, welcoming, and passionate about the menu.

    I've only been to the Lardo in PDX (is it still there?), so I felt like I needed to give the brick…read moreand mortar a chance because, let's face it, the one in PDX is meh. We walked down here on a beautiful day after wedding deletes shopping, so spirits were high. Located on a busy corner, but with plenty of outdoor seating, Lardo is a good place to have lunch on a Saturday. I have nothing to say about the parking sitch. My daughter and I shared the Willamette Reuben and her friend ordered the Italian Flag. We shared the Lardo fries. Oh man, the Reuben was perfection! The flavor of the meat and everything on the sandwich, from texture to flavor--chef's kiss! We heard that the Italian Flag was excellent too. Definitely, you can share a sandwich especially if you're having fries. The fries were delicious--crispy and flavorful on the outside, perfectly hot and mushy on the inside. Yum!
