Came here recently with a friend and left thoroughly impressed. We started with the oregano fried…read morebread appetizer, served with a crème fraîche basil sauce and a roasted tomato dipping sauce -- it was absolutely delicious and set the tone for the rest of the meal. For mains, my friend ordered the elk burger, and as a self-proclaimed elk burger connoisseur, her approval means something -- she thoroughly enjoyed it. I went with the pulled pork sandwich, which was good and flavorful, and paired really well with their pepper & cabbage coleslaw on the side. We also split a cup of the roasted red pepper and tomato bisque, which was honestly a highlight of the whole meal -- rich, well-balanced, and worth ordering on its own. Drinks deserve a shoutout too: their non-alcoholic options were great. My friend raved about the guava lemonade, and I had the blueberry vinegar shrub, which was excellent -- bright, crisp, and refreshing.

Close enough to PDX hotels to Uber. The food was spectacular. The salads are huge. The ribs looked amazing. The lamb meatloaf was extremely tasty and the chicken pesto fettuccine was able to be made without fettuccine for me with just extra veggies and it was stellar. They did not even balk at substituting the extra veggies.. the swordfish special with the mushroom risotto and grilled asparagus was awesome. Everything was cooked to perfection and our waiter. Torben was the highlight. He had a wonderful, can-do attitude, very accommodating and extremely friendly. He really treated us amazing and his workplace as though restaurant was his taking pride in his job. The desserts that walked by our table made me wish I had only shared a meal with someone. Everything looked incredible. This needs to be put on your top five to try list.

More than a 5-star experience! Last Thursday (09/10/11) We had one of the best anniversary dinners…read moreever at the Rendezvous Grill in Welches! From start to finish, everything was absolute perfection. We started with the amazing authentic Caesar salad (we try Ceasar from Hawaii to Vegas to NY to Paris and this is right up there) and Spinach salad (with warm pear slices and hazel nuts--incredible) followed by the most incredible New York steak with Gorgonzola butter and a mouthwatering Ribeye steak. Oh, and the strawberry lemonade? What did they out in that--Delicious! even the potatoes were rich with flavor. Plus, generous serving sizes But wow... shout out to the desserts! The bourbon cobbler crisp and key lime pie completely stole the show. (And no, there are no pictures of the desserts because they were just too good to wait--we ate them instantly! ‍) To top it all off, the chef/owner came right to our table to share the inside scoop on their locally sourced produce and meats, and even personally recommended our desserts. The atmosphere was comfortable but it was five star. Our server knew her stuff and was so warm and responsive. Talk about world-class hospitality! ‍Happy Anniversary to us!

Growing up, I spent a fair amount of time around fire stations…read more My Dad was a firefighter. As a kid, that meant climbing around the trucks, knowing the difference between a fire truck and a fire engine, screwing around in the long-gone handball court down at Station 1, and thinking firefighters were basically superheroes. Strong. Brave. Fearless. And sporting absolutely bad ass mustaches. (For those of you who don't know, a fire truck carries the ladders, and a fire engine carries the hose. Trust me, firefighters are very particular about the distinction. They're also surprisingly proud of hose size. Honestly, who doesn't want to ride in the vehicle with all the hose.) There was a period in American history where every firefighter looked like he was either fighting a five-alarm blaze or auditioning to be the next Dirk Diggler. Thick. Powerful. The kind of mustache that could put out a five-alarm blaze and still have enough left in the tank to offer free mustache rides to the neighborhood ladies. It was magnificent. So, when I heard pFriem was opening a brewery in Milwaukie's old firehouse, I knew I had to check it out. Not for the mustache rides, mind you. At this stage in life, I'm not offering them for free and I'm not looking to ride one. Not in this economy. The old firehouse has been transformed into an incredible space. Too many historic buildings get remodeled into something so generic that it could just as easily be a bank, the office for the city of Milwaukie, or a luxury apartment leasing center. Or they become a McMenamins. Not this place. The massive doors, high ceilings, and creative use of the firepole (without turning it into a strip club)...it still retains some of the charming characteristics of a firehouse. Just one where the emergency now involves deciding whether my liver can handle one more pint. And speaking of beer, pFriem is pFriem. Easily one of my top 5 favorite breweries. Plus, the food is excellent. Years ago, firefighters gathered here waiting for the next alarm. Later it became city offices, which is admittedly a less exciting use of a firehouse. Today, people gather here for great beer, good food, and conversation. Honestly, that's a pretty great third act for an old building. Five stars. Still no mustache rides, though.

As a Vegan I really appreciated having a vegan sandwich on the menu. But I had no idea what I was…read morein for when I ordered the vegan special. I wish I could tell you what all was on it.

Don't Call It a Cuban. Sincerely, a Cuban…read more There is a sacred alchemy to a real Sándwich Cubano. It requires crisp, lard-baked Cuban bread pressed paper-thin a la plancha until the crust crackles. It requires yellow mustard to cut the fat, sharp pickles for acid, and molten Swiss cheese acting as the crucial binding agent between roast pork and ham. It is a precise, beautiful piece of culinary history. What was served to me here is an absolute crime against my heritage. Look at this plate: soft, pillow-like Hawaiian rolls stuffed with shredded pork, leafy greens, and a thin vinaigrette. It hasn't seen the heat of a press in its entire existence. There is no mustard, no pickles, no ham, and not a single drop of melted Swiss cheese binding anything together. This is not a Cuban sandwich. It is a pulled pork slider on a dinner roll. And it would have been a pretty decent one on that merit. However, slapping the name "Cuban" on a Southern pulled pork slider because someone threw pulled pork on a bun is lazy, dishonest, and insulting to the culture it claims to represent. Call it what it actually is on the menu, you are ruining what some people will think is an actual Cuban. Or... maybe hire a Cuban and learn how to make the real thing. A four paragraph AI response? Look. There is a stool in Havana, or Tampa, or a fluorescent-lit ventanita in Hialeah at two in the morning, where a man who has done this ten thousand times takes bread baked with lard that morning, lays it open, and builds something with no wasted motion. Mustard. Pickle. Ham. Pork. Swiss. He puts it under a press that has been hot since 1961 and he leans on it. The crust goes to glass. The cheese surrenders. You get it in butcher paper and you eat it standing up, maybe with a few fried ripe plantains (not kettle chips) and you don't talk for ninety seconds. That sandwich is not a concept. It is not an interpretation. It is not an exploration of a broader range of anything. It is years of exile, hunger, cigar smoke, and stubborn people refusing to forget what home tasted like, compressed under a hot iron into something you can hold in one hand. What you served me is a pulled pork slider with fruit on it. And look -- I ate it. For what it was, it was good. Smoked pork, mango, mint, pickled onion, a soft milk bun: that's a nice sandwich on a summer afternoon and I don't begrudge anybody a nice sandwich. But you didn't have the nerve to sell it on its own merits. You reached across an ocean, took a word that people bled for, and stapled it to the front for the traffic. Call it Mojo Pulled Pork. Call it Caribbean Gold. Call it anything true. The sandwich is alright it's a 6.25. It's the word from a culture that's stolen. A real Cuban mixto would beat down this sandwich with a 1st bite knockout.

It's a nice family atmosphere here. I just felt welcome the min I came in. The simple decoration with messages written on a black board gave the place a homely feel. The friendly welcome I got from all the staff and the food. The menu made me think with I wanted. And the portions made me regret what I ordered. Not really I regretted I didn't have a bigger stomach. ;) There was no way I could finish my food in one setting. I got good old biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs. I feel I got a potful of sausage and gravy instead of a ladleful. I couldn't find my biscuits for a few seconds. I also got a side order of sausage. Yea it was too much. Overall five stars. Great tasting stick to your bones meal. Even when it's reheated. The service was on the spot. She worked hard and kept smiling the whole time. And for the price well, well, WELL worth it.
