We moved to the Portland area about 6 months ago and we have gone to Gustav's several times since we have lived here. We've never had a bad experience! They tend to be really busy thursday-sunday but that should be expected at any restaurant in the area. The longest we've waited for a table was 65 min but we are always greeted by prompt, curteous service. On the busy nights, food tends to take about 30 minutes so we always plan ahead and order dinner salads or have their yummy fondue! I think it's key to always remember that if you have to wait at the door for a table--then you're going to have to wait awhile for your food at any restaurant. If the lobby's busy..imagine what the kitchen looks like! We love coming here during the week for happy hour or big birthday get togethers. My favorite's: Love for Sale (alcholic bev.), fondue (app), Flank steak (entree), and chocolate mousse (dessert)! Granted the portions are large so I never am able to eat everything in one sitting but most of the leftovers are just as good as in the restaurant!
Pros: Great service and food
Cons: Long waits on weekends
