Review content:
I liked the ambiance of the place. Good music, friendly staff, with a cool vibe combine here in a way that most trendy places can't pull off. This is a place where you can enjoy a good cup of stump town coffee and a book or go with some friends and enjoy some drinks. I was surprised that a gay friendly place was able to come off without a rude sassy attitude. Many gay friendly places in Portland give off a smugness that leaves one feeling like they are outside some high school clique, but here there was an openness that makes one want to return.
The menu is interesting, but unfortunately the taste doesn't coincide. While the fresh lobster is perfectly cooked, it is sadly tossed in with bland ingredients. The lobster benedict comes with a sauce that has the consistency of pudding with eggs that seem to have been cooked by someone's first attempt at poaching eggs. Over cooked poached eggs with lard-like sauce left the poor lobster to fend for itself to satisfy the palate. The lobster mac and cheese had a similar effect. the sauce was again bland, but this time the blandness was covered up with a lot of added salt from the kitchen. The lobster corn dog tasted like an old Chinese kitchen's egg roll, complete with that deep fry oil that hasn't been changed in about 10 years, the lobster was actually ruined in the dish. Many of my friends won't return because of the disappointing food, but again this place has an amazing feel to it and yummy stump town coffee.
Pros: The friendly staff and atmosphere
Cons: The food
