    We enjoyed breakfast at Portage Bay Cafe on Easter Sunday. We had a reservation, which was definitely needed that day. It was an incredibly busy morning for the restaurant, and they were staffed appropriately. We were immediately greeted at the host stand and our reservation was acknowledged. We were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation time. Our server greeted us immediately and was attentive throughout our meal. I ordered the Florentine Benedict and selected the salad over the potatoes, as a side. The side salad was enough for the meal! The ingredients were so fresh and delicious. My daughter ordered the Classic Benedict with the side potatoes, and said it was also delicious. My husband ordered the Swedish Pancakes which included a trip to the berry bar. He thoroughly enjoyed the pancakes and loaded up on delicious fresh blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and whip cream from the berry bar. All of us had plenty of food (more than we could eat) and we felt like the price was fair and a good value. My daughter also enjoyed a traditional mimosa, which was large and delicious. I was impressed with how the restaurant handled such a busy holiday breakfast and I look forward to returning.

    The Ivy was great! We went for a late lunch/early dinner date and loved the food and service we got. The drinks were delicious and the staff was so friendly. They had just started doing Happy Hour (which was a pleasant surprise for us) and we'll definitely be back to have more food and cocktails. Loved how the sun lit up the room when we were there and can only imagine how great it looks when it gets dark for the night caps we always talk about.
