“I am on a work trip and am happy to have found this place.There was only one lady working the front. She was fast, attentive, and very nice despite being incredibly busy.There was one Cook during most of the lunch rush. He worked as quickly as he could. My food came out hot, fresh, and delicious.I had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was seasoned and battered well. It was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The waffle had a nice crispness to it and was still soft and pillowy.If I lived here, I'd be a regular. My only small complaint is that it was cold.“
“Thirsty Lion is my favorite restaurant in Hillsboro. I go for brunch most weekends as they have an excellent brunch menu. Mikyla is one of their best servers and I always ask for her at brunch. All the servers are attentive and friendly.I recommend the edamame or pretzel for an appetizer, and the bread pudding for desert. You can’t go wrong with any entree but my favorite is the Caesar salad with salmon and my husband loves the French dip.“
“This place is my not-so-secret secret spot. Been on a mission to find a place with wings that remind me of ones back in Virginia and Lighthouse has come the closest. I make the drive out here whenever I really am craving a solid wing. French fries are great. Service is always killer. Pool table and plenty of tables. It’s truly a gem“
“This is quite a little gem. Lots of wine and beer on tap. We went on a Saturday night and it was full but still chill. Very neighborhood feel despite being in a strip mall. We got the scallops and gnocchi with crab. Both dishes were delicious and the focaccia was excellent too. Highly recommend.“
“The vibe of this spot is wonderful. ??☂️Walked in on an early cold & cloudy Saturday afternoon.The woody rock ? classic tavern vibes had me feeling at home. Had no problem knocking clean a whole turkey reuben and coke.Could sit and digest before heading out, even when it got busy. Noticed almost everyone else had ordered reubens too. ?*Worked at a restaurant in Florida for some years and folks loved our reubens, but they don't come close to these. ✅“
“They were very accommodating we took our 81 year old dad for his birthday. First they made sure that the seating was OK for him not to cold or not on the high seats. Then we had the best waitress her name was Rebecca R she was so nice and very attentive and she was busy seen her everywhere plus it was a Friday night. I just had to say something because lately my husband and I have been going out every weekend and the service has been terrible. Thank you for my dads birthday special Tina“
“Cool spot, very relaxing yet has great vibe of energy. Both the drinks and the food exceeded expectations as set by menu and/or friendly staff.A great founding cornerstone and testiment of "Greater Mississippi Street" rebirth and proof of ongoing Eastside dominance of ever expanding list of " places to be".Don't miss out! Treat yourself- Go..!“
“Had so much fun visiting this little bar. We are from Arizona and didn't realize everything closed so early during the week. So we stopped later in the night. I wish I got the ladies name who helped us because she was wonderful. She made a delicious old fashion. They had really good food and drinks.Parking: You use the kitty parking app“
“TL;DRCleanse the whole building of Mandarin Palace vibes as much as possible and make improvements to dining areas more visible upon entrance.Make your menu stand out somehow against your nearby competitors. Three burger spots (Bville, MidCity, Silver Birch) in one block is just not going to help the underdog in this case. This is going to require better (more expensive) kitchen staff and more expensive meals like steak.Get your name out there somehow, someway, once you have something that will leave an impression on newcomers and old fans of MP. Most people who drive by think it's still the old restaurant.This place is trying to turn around a restaurant that was undeniably disgusting. Seriously, Mandarin Pal was some of the worst Chinese food I've had every single time someone ordered it for takeout, and dining in just felt creepy. It's way too big of a building and very closed off inside.The location and reputation of the old restaurant is going to make it really difficult for the new owners to put "Silver Birch Kitchen" in peoples heads especially when there are multiple other locations (Sports Page, Dublin, Dugout) nearby that have established reputations and are way more lively.You might notice how other reviews and this one haven't mentioned the actual restaurant part of the huge building. That's because when you walk in, you can't see it, just a lobby in the middle of renovation that's still majorly Mandarin Palace vibes. It's kind of jarring, but I see the potential in where the owner wants this place to go. Renovating the aesthetic (opening up walls) of the entire restaurant would be extremely refreshing to the eyes, especially if the overall design made it not still feel like a dingy cheap spot.I'm going to take a guess that the bar is the only thing keeping this place afloat right now, and maybe their takeout. The problem with their takeout is that it's American food, half of which is burger variations. Burgerville is right next door, and again, the previously mentioned locations are already known to have decent American food. Mandarin Palace only survived because it was cheap, fast, and the only nearby Chinese food.The bar is the heart of this place, especially the bartenders and regulars that just make it feel welcoming. Opposite the restaurant, I don't think they should actually change much here. Yes, it's a little worn and divey, but not in an off-putting or obnoxious way. It feels like you're in a truly local neighborhood spot to hang out and not be overwhelmed. Maybe some new paint and a couple of renovations to match what they plan to do for the restaurant side, but I think it largely works as is.Uptown beer is 100% pulling in a lot of their daytime customers, and I see that getting even worse as the weather warms because they have that Portland outdoor vibe and amazing smash burgers that are easily the best on that blockI hope this place turns out, they have the space to make it really fun and a nice slightly upscale sit-down restaurant for the whole neighborhood, with a small but cozy bar to hangout in then walk home from on the trail. These are their main advantages and should be leveraged.“
“Stopped in here for a bite to eat and a few drinks. Place was lovely, very nice architecture inside and the bench seats were pleasant and comfortable. Had the burgers which were not over salted and were juicy. The Dopplebock was amazing though, one of my favs for sure.“
“We went to Cascadia for their Easter brunch, the first time Cascadia was doing this in a couple of years I was told. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with smiles and staff welcoming us, directing us where the brunch was taking place and seating us at our table. Serious kudos to the staff for their welcoming attitude. The brunch itself had excellent food with entire stations for appetizers, main courses, a carving station and of course dessert (see vid for the dessert station, yeh!). Added bonus points for photographers walking around taking pictures of people enjoying their meals with their families, the live music that was at the perfect volume to still enjoy conversations and the champagne/mimosas that were included in the price. We had a fantastic time and looking forward to making this an annual tradition.“
“I organized a dinner in the patio area for 23 guests. The management at Produce Row was wonderful and the atmosphere was perfect - they had 3 picnic tables set up for us when we arrived, and it open-air and quiet enough for us to hear each other. The picnic tables made it easy for folks to move around and catch up with different folks throughout the dinner. If you are looking for a great open-air venue near the convention center for a larger group (or a smaller group), I highly recommend Produce Row! The food was really good (something for everyone) and the service was great, too. I highly recommend the Produce Bowl!“
“We are not local so when it came to finding a special location to celebrate my daughter's birthday I could not have stumbled across a better spot. This place is so much fun. They have board games, table games, bowling & giant versions of connect four & jenga. Our server Ben was absolutely phenomenal. He was friendly, funny & made sure we had a great time. The menu can easily accommodate specialty diets for vegetarians & GF peeps. Emily ordered the beyond burger & fries with a strawberry rhubarb beverage. I ordered the cauliflower nachos with a strawberry daiquiri. The servings are very generous. For dessert Emily got the salted caramel cake with a side of warmed cookies & I treated myself to the flourless chocolate cake. We stayed for almost 3 hours & left with a lot of to go boxes. If we were local this would be our spot for sure.“
“I had my baby shower in the banquet room at Bethany Public House. It was the perfect spot! Private, roomy, clean, we were allowed to decorate, and the food was delicious. Not to mention the service was amazing! Joe and Michelle were very accommodating. I highly recommend using their banquet room for any event, or even just going to the restaurant for food and a drink. 5 stars!“
“First time customer. My wife wanted a BLT so I googled what restaurants had them and this place came up. It did not disappoint! Menu is chock full of pop culture references that will entertain you while choosing your libations which are quite extensive. Shout out to our server, Mallory, who was happy to answer a few questions when it came to dessert selection and she was right on! Also kid friendly!“
