The hostess was terrible, almost to the point of ignoring us. People that came in after us were seated - maybe they had reservations. Finally a waiter came out and sat us. The waitress was different. She never came back and refilled my coffee. We went there for breakfast/brunch. The fresh fruit with mint and currants was tasty. The cornmeal buttermilk waffle with homemade syrup was delicious. My basic eggs, bacon, and potatoes was ok. The eggs were overdone, bacon limp, and the red rosemary potatoes were great. Fresh squeezed orange juice was good too.

It's not surprising that such a popular restaurant has made its name on its wood-stove-smoked meats and seafoods. There has to be some trick or magic to it, because their "house classics" wow crowds: pepper-scented king salmon, Oregon chicken, rib-eye steaks, and Diablo pork loin with "smashers" (garlic mashed potatoes). Luscious desserts include banana cream pie and an old-fashioned devil's food cake.
