While in Gresham on a Sunday, a couple of weeks ago, I thought I would visit the highly recommended restaurant, Sympatico. It was morning and I'm not really a breakfast person, but I was hungry and had some time to spare. I picked up a menu at the counter and looked at my options. Turning my head to the close-by kitchen and grill, I saw several Eggs Benedict accompanied by potatoes. I don't like Eggs Benedict. After ordering a hot croissant with ham and swiss I made my way to the dining area and saw that several people had ordered the Eggs Benedict, but they all looked different. Some of them had salmon, some with ham and I couldn't tell what the others were. But I overhead the diners (groups of ladies that were clearly friends, couples who wanted a special breakfast, I didn't see any children because this place looked more like a grownup get-away) commenting on how wonderful it was. By this time I wished I had ordered the EB. On my way out, the server was kind enough to offer me a taste. I was in heaven. It had all the wonderful elements you could hope for.
Pros: Grown-ulp get-away French feel to it.
Cons: I don't like the horse as their logo. Takes away from the upscale worthiness of it.
