My experience must have been an anomaly. I genuinely hope it was. My dining companions enjoyed their meals, but mine was dreadful. Yeah...dreadful sounds about right. What I ordered was advertised as a 1/3 pound burger with bacon, Gorgonzola, and grilled onions on a brioche bun. I ordered it medium, without onions. What I got was maybe a 1/4 burger, done beyond well-done, bacon the thickness and toughness of the sole of a wingtip dress shoe, the bun toasted to the consistency of a store-brand graham cracker, with bits of dried up chewy Gorgonzola jammed in the top of the bun. It was the worst burger I have ever tried. No exaggeration. The waitress -bless her- narrated everything she did, with an uncomfortably odd "pre-school teacher on Xanax" cadence in her voice that ended in a contrived upward glissando at the end of each sentence. And she seemed especially fond of the word "sneak". "Im just gonna sneak some more water to ya heeeeeeere..." "Ill sneak you the menus. There ya gooooooo." "Let me just sneak you the check, mmkaaaaaayyyee..." Now, the atmosphere...that was neat. Seriously. The place is cool. I sincerely wish the food was as positive an experience as the place itself.

The food here was amazing. The ambiance was very cozy. The staff was very friendly and gave good options on the food they enjoyed most. Nicole was our waitress and was great at checking in with us. The cocktail menu was very good. I have a French fiesta which had some fancy liquer, tequila, hibiscus syrup and a hibiscus flower. Strong, but delicious. My wife had an Irish coffee and said it was just as good as she had in Ireland. For an appetizer we had the Beer Fondue which was bread/homemade pretzels and beer cheese. Super delicious. I had the chicken pot pie for my entree. It. Was. Amazing. The gravy was on point. My wife had the Bolognese and it was also great. The noodles were expertly cooked. For desert we had an apple crisp which had just the right about of cinnimon and the apples cooked just enough so they had the slightest crunch, melded with a delicious oat covering and a nice scoop of vanilla on top. We will be back.

Worst eggs Benedict ever. The chef needs to be taught how not to use salt. The Benedict was so salty it was virtually inedible. I will say the hollandaise sauce was superb. The other items were not. Also, the portion was tiny. For $12 I expected more... and of course better. Im with the other reviewer that said they hope their meal being bad was an anomaly. Coffee was ok. Not great. Only white sugar available no brown which I prefer. Service was weak. Slow and weak. I had to ask for coffee refill even though other tables were getting coffee refilled (when they asked). Overall, I am super bummed out. I really wanted a cute place to bring my family back to. The atmosphere is cool but lets face it; if the the food is bad who cares how cool a place looks.

There are signs that warn you that your meal may take a while to prepare, but its all in the name of quality.....and the chef does not disappoint! Food is excellent, morning, noon, and night. Been here for breakfast with a group (7 people) and an intimate dinner, cocktails were amazing and the food was cooked and seasoned perfectly. A little on the pricey side for drinks and dinner, but they do have more affordable options, and breakfast was about as expensive as anywhere else with this kind of quality.

Outstanding dining experience! Menu was simple but varied. Server was knowledgable, attentive, and very easy going. The dining was very enjoyable. The prepared and presented entrees, salads and desserts were simply the finest. Wine/Beer selection was terrific with featured Oregon beer and wines. Atmosphere was very pleasant. A 3 piece Jazz band played Big Band tunes with just enough volume that you enjoyed the music but could still carry on a conversation. Plenty of time to linger....just great!!

The food here is absolutely amazing. I recommend this place, it is such a nice relaxing place to eat with a loved one, or even your family. The presence in this place is warming. Food wise I would recommend the Cheedar Dijon Soup with house made pretzel, and for an entree I ordered the Vegetable alfredo with Shrimp, my sister ordered the Chicken pot pie both were absolutely delicious. Finally the desserts are the perfect ending to such a delicious meal.

Excellent food. Had teriyaki chicken bowl and steelhead trout dinners. Chicken and vegetables were fresh and combined with light tasty sauce over rice. The trout was spiced just right along with vegetables. We topped off dinner with key lime pie that was slightly sweet and filling tart Overall excellent. Only drawback is waiting for meal. Cooking time was long

Absolutely incredible, cant wait to go back. The bologenese was the best Italian dish I have ever had. My old fashioned was perfectly made with the nice large single ice cube. Great staff, great atmosphere, perfect dining experience.

Small place, very friendly! Had the spare ribs and a side Caesar salad. The ribs were perfect, and pulled apart easily no knife needed. The croutons on the salad were the best ever and seemed to be made fresh, perfectly toasted.

Quiet, intimate setting. Menu shows imagination and the touch of a chef or at least a long time cook who loves food, pays attention to presentation, and seeks to add a little more adventure to tastebuds too used to mundane.

I went to Troutini the other night for a business dinner and I think this may be my new favorite restaurant. The service and food were great and the atmosphere was perfect.

Great ambiance and reasonably price for the quality of food. I recommend the soup and salad for lunch. The bacon on the house salad is some of the best.
