Disgusting behavior by staff. Harassing a man on a public sidewalk while filming. He said not one word to these disgusting humans but they just couldn’t help themselves to criticize & belittle him. POS staff.
Terrible food, terrible service. The staff are extremely rude. I will never eat here again.
Employees harassing a mute man that was filing while I was trying to eat. Man did nothing name the employees kept escalating the situation. Someone told me the man posted a video of the employees harassing him. He had right to do what he was doing. I am visiting America and I thought there were rights but I was wrong. Employee that was pushing him should be fired and and charged with the assault.

Portage Bay Cafe in South Lake Union offers a variety of big breakfast plates with large portions, including avocado toast topped with poached eggs. The restaurant is known for its excellent food and service, with many customers praising the quality and taste of the menu options. It has friendly and efficient service, making it a lively spot for guests. While it can be quite loud, this adds to the atmosphere, allowing plenty of time for guests to chat with friends while waiting for a delicious meal. The crab benedict is outstanding, and the oatmeal French toast with the berry bar is particularly noted for its amazing taste. Recent visitors have highlighted the large portions, with one calling the French toast the best ever and praising the fresh berry bar with homemade whipped cream. Although service remains wonderful even when busy, some guests have experienced frustration with seating issues, noting delays despite having reservations. Prices tend to be high, often around $25-30 per person before tax and tip, which some find excessive. The menu does not offer small meal options or sustainable choices, and the check cannot be split three ways. Overall, it’s a popular, lively brunch spot with excellent food and a friendly atmosphere, making it a great recommendation for both locals and out-of-towners.
