brown "flying spaghetti monster" t-shirt & jeans (apparently he thought we said "write down what you're wearing" when we said "write down what you ordered." he really got the harbor special.) also, i got a great recipe for peachy chicken on the back of the malt vinegar bottle that was on the table." two poached eggs paraded on the catwalk of strips - truly a taste sensation! with a touch of salt & pepper, this meal was a hit! frequent coffee refills washed down the meal nicely. the spread of smokey, grilled sirloin strips topping the foccacia was great. "my first attempt at steak with breakfast - how pleased was i. sirloin benedict, homefries, and coffee anyone who can handle us scribbling on a notebook at the table with grace, has my vote! overall an A+ for the day with NO complaints!" last, but not least.our server was fantastic - fast, friendly, and genuine. the coffee was okay, but there were frequent refills. the homefries were the best in portland - 2 - 3 types of potatoes, rosemary, spectacularly seasoned and not mushy. the toast (i had sourdough) was excellent.although, i had to get more butter for it. great food with a price that can't be beat. "i just might have to say that this is my fav brunch spot in portland thus far. my only complaint was that the water glasses say pepsi-cola on them - i'm a coca-cola girl. what a great server! the bacon is the best ever! i put it all together on the toast and made an open-faced breakfast sandwich that would blow your mind! the tea was good - a little skimpy on the water, no pot, and wasteful containers again.but whatev - a minor issue. but that's okay - the server must have telepathically known that i was just going to put my side of brie on the toast anyway. the homies are amazing - complete with crunchy little nubbies - m'm m'm! the toast was perfectly golden, although it wasn't buttered. "the porthole is basically my favorite breakfast restaurant in portland, and today's meal definitely didn't disappoint. 2 poached eggs, homefries, toast, bacon, brie, and tea not the nicest bathroom.not a place where you'd want to change a baby. if you have to go to the bathroom while you're there, you might want to just hold it. the specials board was in two locations - very helpful a nice touch to the atmosphere was the boat outside with the pirate flag hostess looked miserable and like she hated life - not a very friendly greeter good layout of tables - doesn't feel too crowded in there very artisan toast and a nice medley of potatoes - "it even looks like there's rosemary on there!" server very attentive and friendly.AND he looks like john belushi - a definite plus great atmosphere - very briney & rustic - right on the water.a perfect harbor restaurant! When we ate here in 2007, but our commenters have had some negative experiences there more recently. Guest critic: wizard rock 2000 & scrimps! (both came from out of state just to join us for breakfast) Pricing category: super inexpensive for really amazing food - no greasy spoon here!
