    Got the special - a fall vegetable hash with turkey and mushroom sauce. I hope they keep it for the winter! Hearty and filling. We went when it first opened for a quieter meal, because the space is a bit echo-y.

    Excellent choice for diners who want a hanging' special breakfast with several innovative benedict choices including Dungeness crab benedict or crab cake benedict. The pancake/waffles are very good with many fruit toppings options that you can add, but some come fruity spreads creating a little too much gooey affect. Plain eggs dishes and the rosemary potatoes a little too bland and bloating but the breakfast sandwiches, BLT 's are good. Think before you order!

    The food is great. It was very busy, so the service was just ok. It started a little slow. It was packed that day, so we sat quite close to each other.

    What a great place to enjoy a weekend morning! The service and food is always first class, and the value is excellent. The berry-bar is a special treat!

    The three of us had the eggs benedict with salmon at Portage Bay Cafe in West Seattle. It was delicious. However, it was lukewarm at best. The server was very friendly and provided excellent service. Glad we made reservations ahead of time because it was packed. The noise level was moderate so we could talk without shouting. Highly recommend the watermelon mimosa!
