Nearly everything at Grain & Gristle was perfect, and it was such a lovely experience. The French press coffee came with a timer, the chocolate madelaines were tender and gorgeous, the board with cheeses, fruit, a hard boiled egg, pastries, and meats was to die for. Great service!
I'm only removing a star because I had the Only the Best-O and my partner had the Bowl with Puy lentils, and they were almost identical. Plus, half his veggies were burned (we're talking charcoal black carrots) and the white of my egg was mostly uncooked. Had we only ordered these, we would have been massively disappointed.
Fortunately, we were with other people so got to taste a big variety of dishes. I will definitely go back but will be sure to favor the fresher options with salads rather than roasted vegetables.
Quaint NE Portland neighborhood restaurant with a unique brunch menu! The atmosphere was fun and the service good. I love to share plates and I got savory and sweet bites. The Cavendish is an amazing Nutella Stuffed French Toast with bananas cinnamon rum Carmel and hazelnuts! What a great dish to share. I also split a great burger that was so flavorful with very tasty pickles, blue cheese and bacon. I am definitely looking forward to another visit!
Fantastic!! My wife and I were in town for a comedy show and grabbed breakfast before leaving home and couldn’t be happier with our choice! Food was top shelf, all of the ingredients were fresh, their hot apple cider is the best I’ve ever had and my coffee came out in my own french press. Highly recommended!!
