Lexus was one of the best servers during our time in Seattle. She seamlessly navigated dietary restrictions and her suggestion for the double smash burger was on point! She was friendly, fast and anticipated needs with a genuine smile.

I recommend calling ahead. We had to wait for 15-20 mins and watching all the food walk past us made us super hungry! The place is loud but oh so yummy! We got a pear/cardoman scones that needed butter... we were given a frozen pat of butter... not the best with this level of place but not a deal breaker. The Seattle Benedict and the Berry French toast were AMAZING! we were very happy and highly recommend!

Visited Portage Bay Cafe on a busy Saturday—rustic, cozy vibe with a lively, friendly crowd. Staff were warm and attentive, though tables filled up fast. Food was stellar: fresh, organic, and creative (goat cheese omelet wow). Portions were hearty but pricey—$75 for two meals, drinks, and hot sauce felt steep. Parking was a hassle nearby. Small gripe: maybe offer more affordable options for casual diners. Still, worth the splurge for quality and flavor.
