Review by Aric

I recently enjoyed brunch at The Front Room and it was a delightful experience. The menu offers a fantastic variety, but I highly recommend the Eggs Benedict - it was perfectly executed with a rich hollandaise. The pancakes were a notable highlight too, rivaling some of the best I've had!

The atmosphere is cozy and casual, ideal for families or solo diners. Service was friendly, with quick drinks arriving, though it did get a bit busy. Definitely a solid choice for brunch lovers in Portland! 🍳
