But I would guess you went here: La Carreta

Yikes! Secret talking sounds like something from that chick flick "the sisterhood of the ya ya traveling pants" or something like that. Hopefully there were no blood oaths, Ellen Bursyn's, or Seances involved. Party on June-y.

Two drinks tends to be one more than I really need to spill my guts.

Another one of my faves in Portland is: Screen Door

I have only been here for breakfast (can you tell we like breakfast?)

It is best to arrive about half hour before opening because otherwise the wait is 1-2 hours – June-y would not enjoy this.

They are famous for the fried chicken & waffle: Spicy buttermilk battered fried chicken over a sweet potato waffle. It is a bit too much for my stomach, but it is very popular and definitely enough for 3 meals.

I like to order the traditional benedict or one of the scrambles. Often I actually order one of the specials, which often has some different ingredients like kale, chard, sautee'd spinach, roasted red peppers, fennel, chanterelles, etc.

They have delicious biscuits and gravy. There are several places in town for great B&G...this is in the top 5.

Also the grits are soooooo good.

And of all things, they have a really wonderful organic oatmeal with butter and brown sugar and fresh fruit of your choice. It is a huge bowl, enough for leftovers.

Everything is fresh! The coffee is good and strong. In fact they have s self-serve coffee area where you can make your own while you are waiting for your table.

The kitchen is always bustling…it is great to watch them prepare the food.

They play great music, like class jazz or big band...

Okay.

If the glasses were cylindrical, that would be

divided by nine cubic feet of Hurricane.

Were you counting the stem?

Lidia Bastianich, one of my favorite chefs, has two great places (her son owns a couple with Mario Batali).

Theatre location but if you go after the theatre crowd, easier to get reservations and well worth it.

I'm only in it for the Umbrella and Cherries.

Well that's a relief! If you were in for the foot long and 8" of girth we would have many questions for you.
