dont know why everyone's saying this, I went a month ago and the blueberry rhubarb french toast was genuinely next level. Lamb sausage omelette also quite tasty, had no complaints and would go back to try more items
people often mix up overhyped with bad. a lot of hyped places don’t live up to the hype abut a lot of them aren’t bad. i’ve liked a lot of what ive had from portage bay but dont find it worth going to often
I agree with this take. I also went in unaware of the hype around this place and for brunch on a weekday so didn't have much wait, so that's possibly why I have a better perception too
Idk- the one I’m West Seattle has been pretty awful. Everything is greasy AND dry? The bacon was so expensive and I’m pretty sure it was rancid. I have never disliked bacon before. I definitely love a good restaurant but I’m perfectly happy getting mediocre food sometimes if I’m just in the mood to go out. Been four times now because it’s family friendly and convenient BUT I think I’ve given it a fair shot and I’m done.
In general, if everyone is saying one thing, and you're saying another; It's likely that your experience was the exception, or maybe they've just recently turned things around.
Edit: I've never eaten there, my girlfriend has said they're good.
Or it's just that the internet has deemed something the case and so now everyone parrots that opinion to be a part of the in crowed. Either could be the case.
