This was the first nice restaurant I went to after moving to PDX (a year and half ago). Since then I have taken every person who has come to visit me to the VQ brunch. Super reasonable prices, great bloody marys and coffee, and a patio that (despite its highway proximity) feels like a secret place. I have never eaten dinner there, so I can't comment on anything else, but I highly recommend it as a way to start a weekend off in Portland.
Pros: patio, coffee, seafood brunch entree
