Been here before and liked the food. Came again on Mother’s Day. The restaurant was very short staffed that day. We were greeted by the host with blunt attitude that only she was there and needed 15min to clean up tables for us. Several groups came later and were told with the same information, and was also told that the host does not have access to the reservation system.
It took one hour for our food to be delivered.
I do not think the restaurant was properly staffed , including kitchen that day, which led to rather a disappointing experience

Went on Mother’s Day for breakfast and there was only one person working so she was overwhelmed and wasn’t able to check in with each table as needed. When we asked for more water and condiments after our meal arrived, it took much longer than it should have and the server had to be reminded twice before bringing it to us. Felt really bad for the server since I don’t think any restaurant that size should have only one person working on Mother’s Day knowing there will be more people than an average day. Management should have scheduled better. Food was okay but not for the portion size and price. Overall a disappointing meal to wrap up our Portland trip. .

I set the wrong expectations for this restaurant. I read Bistro and in my mind I was expecting more than a hamburger option for lunch. They did have many delicious looking breakfast options, but we were there for lunch.
Our server was less than stellar.
