on Citysearch Feb 27, 2011Roots is not as far as one might think and well worth the drive. It is probably about 5-10 minutes past the PDX airport taking the I-205 bridge. Exit onto I-14 heading east, and about two exits later get off at 192nd, go... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 27, 2010The two previous reviewers must be local competitor restaurant owner's or soon to be former restaurant owners, because they are "so far out of the norm" and "out of touch" with their reviews. The bar is awesome as well... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 17, 2010Way over priced. Menu is for those with a fancy taste preference only. Wait staff is seldom seen one you are seated and your order is taken. (more)

on Citysearch Aug 13, 2010If a place is full I can deal with sub-par service. But when we were one of four tables and we get to see our waitress three times its bad. Take order, give food, and drop off check. Normally when you order a blue cheese... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 09, 2008I've been 3 or 4 times within the space of a year and a half. I figure they're new, they'll get things sorted out. Evidently not. Went today for lunch, and in the midst of the meal was overcome with the thought "Why does... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 19, 2007Our server quickly sized us up when we did not order high dollar bottles of wine and we barely saw him. He was arrogant and pretentious. The food was fantastic, reasonably priced and good portions. I ended up taking... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 08, 2006Not sure how I ended up all the way out here but would probably come back (but not go out of my way to eat here) The "Couve" needs more places like this, competition = better food. With that said, everything I had was just... (more)
