I’m so glad my friends and I did a reservation on a Saturday because they were crowded. We checked in with them and got our table a few minutes after that. We ordered Seattle Benedict and French Toast. I think their foods are tasty, but they are quite expensive. Customer service is great. I would definitely recommend to people

Did not enjoy the things I ordered today. Shakshuka was very sour and spicy, and the bread tasted grainy. The red velvet pancake (French toast?) is part cake part toast, it’s an interesting idea but does not taste very good. The fruit bar has a good selection, but some raspberries were visibly moldy.

Food was delicious. The French toast melts in your mouth. There's a berry bar where you can add fresh berries and fresh whipped cream to your pancakes/French toast. Genius idea. The biscuits & gravy were delicious. The biscuits were kind of like the Cheddar bay biscuits from red lobster. More

My husband and I stopped here for breakfast on the recommendation of one of his coworkers before a busy day of sightseeing in Seattle. I ordered the Farmer's Hash Bowl, which was full of fresh veggies, eggs, pepper bacon, and mushrooms with

  • Suzy Ekstrom

There was a slight (50 minute) wait on the Morning of Memorial Day, no duh. But as always this place never disappoints. It's tried and true. Always worth the wait in literally every instance. After living in Seattle for 13 years and moving

We got amazing service but not great food on a Saturday morning. We got the farm hash bowl and Joe's scramble and both were bland and not well cooked. The hash had a large variety of veggies with a wide variety of doneness, and the crunchy

Food was delicious. Had the mole verde burrito, which was huge. The French toast was also really good. Service was great, even when busy. We had a reservation, so didn’t wait. The kids meal prices are great and still had good portions. More

My friend and I decided to brunch at this spot, and we were in for a treat. My friend ordered the migas quesadilla, and it was so generous in portion size that we ended up taking some home. As for me, I opted for the oatmeal French toast,

We’ve been here perhaps 20 times and it’s long overdue for a review. I recommend reservations to ensure a quicker seating experience. There can be a pretty big line otherwise. Very kid friendly with high chairs, booster seats and crayons.

  • Sara Beth Wade

I was honestly a little disappointed - the place is great, and I enjoyed the staff, but I ordered a mother's day special lemon blueberry french toast and it was much heavier than I expected. And no discernable lemon or blueberry flavor to

Wonderful restaurant! I’ve been wanting to try this place for some time and we finally were able to. Upon entering, the staff was kind and told us to seat ourselves. We chose a booth next to pancakes bar. A waiter promptly came to us and

Oh man this place is great. We had such an amazing time. Might have something to do with the mimosas. Or the dhow we got to watch from the view of the kitchen we had. Or maybe the amazing food we ate. Or maybe it was our amazing servers.

I came with a small group on a Sunday morning and I'm glad we made a reservation. The restaurant was packed, which contributed to quite a bit of background noise. The overall vibe was cute. The menu is very extensive and well priced for

  • Juhwan Jeong

Food was absolute garbage. Paid for $25 seattle egg benedict. Sauce was basically all butter, potatoes over cooked and old. $15 phil’s breakfast had subpar salad, subpar sausage. Worst brunch in my life. Go to eggs n us

  • Isabele Horton

Absolutely AMAZING! I wish I could give it 10 stars. Food was so delicious. My husband got the oatmeal french toast, which he said was absolutely amazing alongside his toppings from the fruit bar. He also got a

I’m visiting from Minneapolis, and my dear friend highly recommended this spot! I have high expectations for brunch, and Portage Bay exceeded them. Everything

Disappointing and overpriced. Portage Bay was once a great option for breakfast in Seattle.
