Kushal Dave: Vermont-style IPA and German lager were both great, as were the nachos, mac n cheese, even the house salad. Kid-friendly.
Behrad Eats: Awesome patio to go along with some fantastic beers.
H. Colbert (@hrsch): Really cool outdoor front deck & patio with a fire pit. Now on those rare, non-rainy, Portland nights, I know where I'll be.

Keri Fenton-Mazenko: The mussels with lemongrass and coconut milk were absolutely AMAZING. Great flavor and very fresh. I can't wait to try their other varieties. The green beans and house salad were also great! Yummmmmm!
Noland Bell: Great patio area, very good happy hour offerings, VERY solid Belgian beer list & great service even when busy.

Pizzeria · 83 tips and reviews
Chris K: Best pizza I've had on the west coast. Better than anything I've had in NYC also. Definitely worth the long wait.
Andy McMillan: This place transcends Foursquare tips. It is simply not possible to convey just how good this pizza is, or even suggest a pie that stands above the others. But order the margarita with truffle oil.
Eater: Thin-crust East Coast/New Haven-style pizza, this southeast joint closes when they out of dough, which they stick in a 650-900-degree oven and char the daylights out of. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Liza: Get the cream cheese Parmesan Bagel. An affordable lunch that is delicious!
Tantek Çelik: If you're here working (laptop, notebook etc.), stare up at the disco ball until you start seeing patterns/shapes and get inspired.
Sean: I've tried all of their breakfast paninis and their great. Add a bowl of fruit if you're a bit more hungry. It's got blueberries, strawberries, and grapes in July.

Middle Eastern Restaurant · 22 tips and reviews
MLO: Best Lebanese food in PDX. Hand-rolled croissants made to order, fresh grilled pita, and an incredible shakshuka made this one of the best brunches in a long time. Kid friendly. No reservation needed
Kristin Wright: Absolutely the best Mid-east food in the Portland area. Fabulous hummus, baba ganoush, pita, kabobs...and dishes I've never seen anywhere else. I also heartily recommend the veggie mezza.
Marshall Kirkpatrick: We ate here once & disliked it, didnt come back for a year. Loved it ever since & wish I could get that year back.
