I did get a picture with Chris, so one can have an idea of the atmosphere. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">The atmosphere was very laid back and casual, and there was no wait for a table! That's always a plus for me:) They had an excellent wine list. Each style glass pour that they offered was delicious and memorable. Chris had a slice of the pecan pie that was the perfect consistency and hit the spot nicely. William went with the french fries that were fried in duck fat! OMG what a deal for $5! I had a hearty slice of goat cheese that resembled blue cheese . It too only $5! It was perfectly rich and creamy, which paired nicely with the Cote de Rhone I was drinking. We will definitely be going back! </div>Lil' Biscuithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15548398928378953590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461702009294789154.post-90551203341812521952010-03-30T13:18:00.000-07:002010-03-30T13:42:23.706-07:00Aquariva Italian Kitchen + Wine Bar I had been to Aquariva in the past for dinner and found it to be very yummy, but very pricey, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that they now serve brunch on Sunday's. They have a wonderful location on the SW waterfront with floor to ceiling windows looking out at the Willamette River. Some other great perks of their brunch were: no line, great prices $10-$12 and every breakfast includes a complimentary mimosa or fruit juice. Unfortunately all the free mimosa's could not make up for the fact there biscuits and gravy were "<b><i>biscuits and lazy</i></b>", scoring well below average(even after adding tabasco). There frittata and omelettes weren't very exciting either:( The dishes were very bland, and everyone agreed that salt and pepper were lacking big time. Below are pics of whet we ate, at least the food looked pretty!<br />

Sundays are easy going late breakfasts and early dinner/dessert days. Today started at Besaws on 23rd. It was a first, and of course I got the biscuits and gravy. The gravy was average as far as gravy goes, but the biscuits were exceptional. Very light and easy to eat with such a heavy gravy (sorry no pics I forgot my camera in the car).<br />
<br />
Enjoyed yummy mimosa and Chris got the farmer scramble which was really great and loaded with garlic potatoes, caramelized onions, leeks, and plenty of cheese! Their mimosa's hit the spot!<br />
<br />
After a relaxing day at the art museum, sugar is needed to re-pep! Tried out the Papa Haydns in Sellwood. When you want a special dessert with that special someone this is a must!<br />
