Im surprised this restaurant doesn’t get better reviews but sounds like service gets tough when it’s busy and I can see how this Northwest spot can get really busy for lunch and dinner. It’s a small place inside but they’ve created amazing outdoor spaces. I’ve been a few times, always during off-times like 3-4p for a late lunch. The food is always great (chicken and salmon cob are my go-to but the beef and turkey burgers are fantastic too). The service has always been friendly, attentive, and quick too. Go during their off times or just be patient as the atmosphere is incredible and the food is worth the wait!

Or visit to Café Nell was fortuitous, as the nearby restaurant we’d planned on checking out was unceremoniously closed during their posted operating hours (both online and terrestrial), for some unknown reason. We looked for something similar in the neighborhood, and this classy little bistro jumped out at us, having both an intriguing brunch menu and an adorable aesthetic.

Fun spot for a group reservation outside. It’s on a quiet street. They have a sidewalk patio and back patio in addition to indoor dining. The have a full bar. We came for dinner but the breakfast and lunch menus looked better. I wished there had been more snacks to order for the table. I’d come back to sit outside again.

We had been to a wine tasting in the alphabet district and needed a light dinner. Cafe Nell hot the spot. It’s decor is quirky but not in a bad way, lots of convex mirrors on the wall and ceiling.We had eaten a large late lunch so decided to share the crab cake appetizer and the mussels and fries entree. The crab cakes were tasty but could have had more crab and less filler. The mussels and fries were delicious. We had to order bread to soak up the sauce. We will definitely go back with bigger appetites.

The picture I took already has a few bites out of it because it smelled so delicious that I was already a few bites in before I thought about taking a picture.

We had brunch. It was overall good but I feel like something was missing. The crab cake Benedict was good but not great. I thought it was going to be loose/lump crab but the cake was actually really good. The egg was poached perfectly, however, the hollandaise sauce was missing something and lacking flavor. The breakfast sandwich was good but nothing too exciting. The portions seemed small. We loved the seating in the oasis! Perfect setting for brunch. The service was a bit slow and our server was cocky and seemed a bit arrogant. Nice overall but I didn’t love the way he talked to us and made it seem as though we were an inconvenience to him. I’ll be going back to try again but I hope it shines a bit brighter next time.

Sublime brunch. We had the huevos rancheros, pumpkin pancakes, and turkey burger. The food and cocktails were excellent, and the outdoor space was really comfortable thanks to their heaters.

Went here for brunch with friends with high expectations. We made a reservation for 4 and still ended up waiting to be seated about 25 min. Then after being seated our drink order wasn’t taken for another 25 min. Very slow service. It as you can imagine took the drinks and water an ample amount of time. Our server did not really check in on us. Food came cold except for the warm soggy French toast. They do have a vegan option at least, but if you’re brunching in pdx I’d recommend elsewhere. They do use good ingredients though, I’ll give them that.

The food was great. Restaurant seemed understaffed. 5 diners, took 3 hours, appetizers and dinner, no dessert. Staff was friendly, I think our server was also working the bar. Food was fabulous. Swordfish with tomato reduction and butternut squash. Pork shank ossobuco with squash and risotto. Nice portions.

The food, service, atmosphere is absolutely amazing. Venessa the owner had turned this place into Miami/Beverly hills beauty. Every time we walk in it feels just like home
