Stopped in to Bayside American Cafe on my last day in Portland. What an excellent way to end the trip. I was initially thrown off by the surrounding neighborhood being a bit sketchy, but I found the atmosphere warm and inviting. I was immediately welcomed when I arrived by staff and seated upstairs. I ordered a Mimosa to start and a coffee. The mimosa was great and the coffee was strong. What I enjoyed most about my visit was that our waiter actually tasted the food. I find it excellent when I visit an establishment where the staff can make recommendations based on having previously tasted the menu. Our waiter recommended the Lobster scramble and cinnamon roll pancake. I can understand why the pancake is the most popular, I enjoyed it but found it a bit thicker than I typically like my pancakes. It was very delicious and not overly sweet. The Lobster scramble on the other hand was AMAZING! The goat cheese mixed with the fresh lobster went so very well together and that homemade wheat bread has a nice subtle sweetness. I can’t wait to come back to Portland and stop by for another meal.
