Fun, loud restaurant with good food and even better prices. I've been here twice, the first time for their famous butter cakes alone, the second time for actual dinner. Depending on when you come and how large your party is, you will probably have to wait (they don't take reservations). As soon as you enter, you can tell this is one of those places that help keep Portland weird. The waiters wear dressed-down white tuxes, the music is loud, the walls are red, and there's definitely a religious theme going on with their artwork. Well, religious with a twist. My favorite painting is the huge Last Supper painting covering one wall. The space ship in the background should give you a sense of the restaurant's atmosphere.The best deal would have to be the steak: $16.75 for a juicy steak, garlic mashed potatoes, carrots, and a small caesar salad. If you're lucky, you'll have leftovers, with which your waiter will create an aluminum foil sculpture for you to take home - mine was a swan!
Besides the aluminum foil sculpture, you also want to take home leftovers because you want to save room for the butter cake. Words cannot describe this butter cake. Some people like the soft, weightless center the most, others like the more textured edges. Regardless of which section of the cake you'd prefer, you will fall in love with this cake. Another great thing about this place is that it's open late (for Portland)!
