Nice cafe in a nice part of town. You can come by for a full dining experience or just hang out with friends over a cup of coffee and desert. I enjoy my visits coming here, I hope you do too.
Very nice cafe in Portland Downtown, plenty of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I went there for a breakfast and I liked the food, the place and the atmosphere. The service was great.
Mediocre food at their Zeus Cafe, which is surprising since the food at their other establishments are invariably good - if not great. Alas, the service is abysmal and rude. Maybe they were short-staffed the day I was there for lunch. I will not be coming back.
The staff was polite and welcoming, and I loved the cosy seating arrangement. The pizza I ordered was fresh, although a bit smaller in size than expected. I requested for hot water instead of cold and the staff was happy to oblige. Overall, very nice restaurant and a wonderful service.
We are here several times during our stay. exceptional staff, amazing food and great atmosphere. This will be on our list of stops during our next trip to Portland.
I had a nice breakfast at this McMenamins location. The wait was a bit long, and the eggs were overcooked. The restaurant was busy, though; there was only one cook it looked like. I was compensated for the error. The food was tasty, especially the hash browns. Very enjoyable.
Stumbled upon this restaurant as we were strolling around Portland and stopped due to the great jazzy music and spacious patio seating. We had to wait around 30 minutes to be seated but it went by fairly quickly since we checked out the shops across the street. I had a pollen-something drink made with gin and it was absolutely delicious. I’m a fan of intense flower flavors and this drink was right on point, it even came with an edible flower which added a little extra flower flavor and flair. They thankfully serve brunch into the afternoon so we were able to order from that menu. I had the Slabtown sandwich and it was a good option for when you’re wanting brunch but need something more filling. The side of potatoes was pretty good but definitely elevated by the ketchup, it wasn’t just regular ketchup, it tasted more vinegary and spice-filled. Our server was also very nice and attentive!
The McMenamins Zeus Cafe is a swanky little kitchen/bar attached to the hotel with plenty of treats. Throughout my stay, I had a few items: yogurt with granola, a Bloody Mary, a gin and tonic, maple brussel sprouts, and a beer. Everything other than the Bloody Mary was to my liking. The granola and yogurt paired with fresh berries were a delight to consume, and despite it being a light breakfast pair, it got me through a groggy morning. The Bloody Mary had some unique garnishes, such as a tomato slice, a clove of garlic, and bell peppers, that failed to appetize, but the drink as a whole was solid. The maple brussel sprouts are some of the best I've had. I found the earthiness of the sprouts to be well-balanced by the sweetness of the maple dressing. All in all, I would return for more of their bites. I did find the prices a smidge too high to consider having a meal, given one's proximity to plenty of restaurants. However, the atmosphere and array of lounge rock music is a rustic delight to enjoy. Cheers!
Excellent Caesar favorite! The smooth homemade creamy classic dressing, perfectly crisp crouton deliciousness… creative cocktails in the Mc Min spirit so nostalgic pleasing! Cheers to James excellent service made my night. You too Jack Shout out to sunny smiling Jack and server David, oops!… John, and Nikki too. Your warming smiles cheer and bring good appetite. Shine on. It’s not always just about the food but the service. Both times I had the Caesar it was delicious, served with gracious kind sincerity of true service to please all involved. Eye contact and kind thoughtful courtesy 💭 such as opening the umbrella in the sudden rain deluge. 🧑🍳 Bon App
Very confusing place so I’ll explain Their downstairs is called Al’s Den The upstairs is Hal’s cafe but it was previously named Zeus Cafe (but they haven’t changed the signage) Went for happy hour food and drinks The cocktails were straight up undrinkable. So strong and bad flavors (monkey puzzle julep and the seasonal passion fruit mule) Meat and cheese board was good Flatbread was not that good I liked sitting outside though
