    Toughest pancake ever made!

    My dad got the short stack. In his 93 years he's never had tougher pancakes. He had to use a sharp knife to cut them!

    Disappointing long wait, but good food and service @ The Palms Cafe in Medford, OR. We were seated upon entry and received friendly service throughout our time here. The wait for the food was longer than expected especially since the restaurant was not too busy at all. The booth also had crumbs on its cushion topped seats. When we did get food, one of us had to wait an extra 10 minutes for the entree because of some kind of confusion in the kitchen?.. but we were told our coffees were comped for the trouble. The food was delicious and we were more than full, but we wouldn't go out of our way to come back unless it will be convenient at the time because of their location.

    I arrived here thinking I'd face a longer wait time after running two errands in the neighborhood (dropping off a donation at Goodwill and getting my propane tank exchanged in the neighboring Grange) and yet I lucked out and was seated right away. My omelet and coffee were great and the service was impeccable. Can't wait to return here again!

    Breakfast.. eggs and bacon.. i got the 3 meat with biscuits and gravy. All tasty.

    Service was good but the food was just so-so. Disappointed overall. We need more cafes but I can't recommend.

    One day we hopped in the car and said, "Let's drive down to Medford for the night." We found a…read morecheap hotel and as chance would have it, this little bakery was right around the corner. It is a small, intimate space where we were greeted with a big smile by the hostess and our waiter came by soon after we were seated. It was a chilly walk around the corner so I was looking for a hot coffee to warm me up. Having never been here before I opted for the special of the day, which was something with lavender in it, and I was surprised at the delicate way the latte both supported the robust coffee flavor and the delicate lavender addition. It was better than I anticipated and I knew that we had stumbled upon a gem of a spot that emphasized quality of what they serve. Now, for breakfast, I love a good gravy but I am always disappointed by my order. The country gravy is usually too thin, to bland, too chunky with some sort of meat product, and too small of quantity to really enjoy a good biscuit with it. With this skepticism in mind, I ordered the "The Works" assuming at the very least, the addition of fried eggs and ham were good enough to eat on its own when the gravy, which I also assume will disappoint me, runs dry. I apologize for my assumptions, ButterCloud Bakery, because I was served a thick, seasoned, peppery gravy and plenty of it. This is actually the best gravy I have ever ordered from a restaurant, if I was not traveling, I might have bought a few sides of this delicious concoction and brought it home for the next several mornings! Nothing skimpy on my plate. My husband ordered the beef and blue and devoured every last bite. I managed to steal a few bites off his plate and was pleasantly surprised, I did not expect to like it as much as I did. I stole a few more bites when he was in the bathroom! We left very satisfied with our meal, our drinks, and our service. Fast forward a few months later and we are traveling with my parents to California and we insisted that we stopped by ButterCloud Bakery to share our gem of a find. My mom considers herself quite the cook and she also was skeptical of the gravy. One bite and her eyes popped...she was also impressed. This time round I had the scone and gravy and enjoyed every last bite. My mom tried a specialty hot chocolate and I, again, had the latte special of the day, both were rich with flavor. Our second round at ButterCloud Bakery did not disappoint and we have decided it will be our go-to spot when we are in the area, there is still a lot of menu items to try!

I grade a restaurant on numerous parameters (e.g., parking, attitude of host or hostess, waiter or waitress, ambiance, noise vs music, and of course quality and presentation of food and drink, and expense. My rating goes from 0 (absolutely horrible) to 10 (the most incredible dining experiences in my life). I consider any restaurant with a rating 7 or higher worthy of return. I think in Medford, most restaurants rate about a 6-6.5. I rate Tartine at an 8 to perhaps 8.5. 1. Parking fine. 2. Greeting upon entry- Wonderful from host and hostess. 3. Ambiance/Decor: I cannot think of any place with better ambiance and tasteful decor than this. I am speaking of the interior. Just beautifully done. 4. Waitress we had (Angie): would take her home and/or adopt her. What a doll. A sour-puss waitress or waiter can kill a meal. Angie brightened up everything. Good on you, Angie. 5. Food, drink: coffee very good; food excellent. Price reasonable. I only have one negative. I don't need noise in the form of bad music or bad speakers while I am eating and having conversation. IF perhaps the sound was not the thump-thump of an aerobics class and instead it was soft jazz, or soft classic music not intrusive, I would up my grade to a 8.5-9. I will go back and try to find seating far away from any speaker.
