    This is great for a romantic date, it's all healthy wholesome food with vegan options. Went here for my bf's birthday was a lil disappointed they didn't offer a free birthday dessert or drink.

    We got the table next to the window, away from other folks which made it more romantic. Music and people can make it hard to hear person you're sitting across from. Definitely try salmon corn cakes!

    The staff is super helpful and funny. Get the "Going Up?" for a delicious semi-spicy drink (but you can't go wrong with any drink, really)...

    One of my fave spots... I love their Saphire Salad!!! Add either their steak or chicken tandoori and you've got a dinner salad. Salmon crab cakes are very savory!

    Buena Vista style Irish coffee is as close as I’ve had to the actual SF experience.

    Contrary to the venue name, this isn't an actual hotel. Just the original hotel lobby was turned into a quaint dining, drinking and socializing space.

    Cocktails were good here... food was average, but the atmosphere is romantic, dimly lit candlelight.

    Aside from the aforementioned bottomless mimosas, the Croque-Madame is greasy and porky and not to be missed.

    Doesn't feel like Portland. Maybe meet someone not your own age. Send a stranger champagne.
