Portage Bay Cafe - 65th

I really like this Cafe, specifically this location. Lamb sausage scramble special had such a lively, fresh flavor, and the roasted potatoes were perfectly cooked - slightly crisp on outside, still moist and soft inside and not cut too small like the other location. Pancakes are deliciously wheat and fluff, beautiful breakfast bar to decorate and enjoy.

This restaurant was wonderful! I'd never been there before and will be back. It's much bigger inside then it looks on the outside. I was worried about not finding parking, but that wasn't a problem. There was a lot of gaity and upbeat energy inside, making for a fun experience. We had a very attentive, positive waiter. The food was great; tasty, beautifully presented and had very good proportions. It was excellent in all aspects. I'd definitely recommend. I was just reading the comments, and thought I'd say that we made reservations and were seated inside. We hadn't specified this. Glad we were since it hadn't warmed up yet outside. Also, we had a 10am reservation and it was pretty full, but when we left at 11:30am only half the restaurant had customers, making it a do-able place to drop into at that time. We went on a Sunday, so don't know if there's an after church surge then, but very do-able to get in.

Made reservations on open table after finding this organic place on Google. The pictures of the food looked great! Got to the location and was told I made them at the other store. Funnily enough I clicked the link from this location on Google so maybe they have it set up wrong. Hostess sat us right away anyway as they had open tables so it wasn't a big deal, it might have been if we had to wait. The busser did not look like he liked his job but dropped us some water and went back to bussing tables while looking like he would rather be anywhere else. Cute open place, clean and a nice open area with some art on the walls, breakfast bar looked amazing but we decided on challah French Toast with bacon and sausage, Crab Cake Benedict and an Omelette. Our original server only touched our table a total of 4 times, once to take our order, to touch our table after someone else delivered our food and check in and to deliver and take payment of our check. Could work on her personality a bit, were were glad the rest of the team was quick with our food and beverages. My girlfriend ordered the orange mimosa but was brought a pineapple one by mistake, she liked it so it wasn't a big deal. The bathrooms were clean. The food was ultimately why we were there and the star of the show. It was nice to see a kitchen running like a well oiled machine. The Challah bread vanished on my daughter's plate and my Crab Cake Benedict was delightful, the eggs were perfect and the hollandaise sauce was delicious. My girlfriend omelette was tasty but did not keep it's omelette shape very well. I will definitely try this place again maybe the other location next time and attack that breakfast bar. Some personality and customer service skills need work but overall a good visit.
