The Blueberry Files has published a review of the brunch at Caiola’s.
Brunch is a complicated animal, I realize. Tastes are highly personal, kitchens are very busy, and usually you’re hungover, which can make you even more sensitive to service and food issues. But I don’t find brunch to be Caiola’s strong suit (admittedly after only one try). With other strong contenders for Best Brunch in Portland, I think I’ll stick with a restaurant whose kitchen is more in line with my tastes.
Brunch is dependable and very good. I like all of their dishes and the Bloody Mary’s are the best in town. This atmospheric neighborhood place gets my vote Brunch or Dinner.
