The smoked salmon Eggs Benedict was wonderful! They serve hugs amounts of really good food. Coffee is great. Right downtown on Stark and next door to the ACE Hotel, a refurbished, unique hotel with a Stumptown Coffee Shop. More

Pastrami heaven. These folks definitely know what they are doing. Bit of a wait but very well worth it. Bring your appetite tho they don't make plates that look like pretty art that leave you hungry. They bring out plates of art that fill your tummy! More

You'd think they could make a classic Rueben, but naah, just a really crude version of this standard fare, and at a high price. More

I've eaten here twice, the first time because I read about it and was excited, the second time because it was next to my hotel and we could sit outside with the dog. I think it's good but not great. My favourite part is the extensive ginger ale menu. I love fancy soda, and I especially love ginger ale! More

OK, so maybe someone who lived in New York City for 23 years has unreasonable expectations but K&Z is unimpressive deli food. Elephants Deli blows them away. More

This is a great place to eat in downtown Portland. Really tasty food! Try the blintzes and the potato pancakes!! It's a great space and great vibe. Excellent people watching from one of the windows. We really enjoyed this place. Bring an appetite. More

I think perhaps this place was a little over-hyped. Upon arriving for what we'd heard would be a savory and memorable lunch, we were pleased with the quaint and welcoming atmosphere. Service, however, left something to be desired, as we were greeted as a bit of an after thought and left at a table to wonder when we might get... More
