About time North Portland had a ""go to"" restaurant. This is a place you could take anyone. The menu is diverse enough that there is something to please everyone. \r

Good old fashioned comfort food, along with fantastic steaks and seafood. I went last week with a large group of people and we had a wonderful meal. What was especially nice was how perfectly cooked everything was. Six of the nine of us ordered their NY steak with shrimp scampi special and every one of us got our meat the way we asked for it to be cooked. I actually ordered it rare and it came out perfectly grilled and a beautiful pink in the middle....(ok, I get a little carried away when talking about steak). The salad was fresh, the vegetables tasted like they were picked that day, and real mashed potatoes ....yummmmmy! Others in our group had the stuffed salmon and turkey dishes. The stuffed salmon was awesome and the turkey was good too. The portions were generous enough that we didn't have room for desert but the display case was full of really tempting treats.\r

All in all, a good experience. We would definetly go back.
Pros: Fast seating, very diverse menu options, good food for good value
Cons: Not much parking but side streets are available...
