Owner is rude, crazy? – I called the owner to tell him about a bad experience at his restaurant. I was extremely polite. His response was so unbelievably rude, and unprofessional, its hard to fathom that he's actually a business owner. During our very brief conversation, he inturrupted me twice, and ended the call by saying, "We don't need your business." Then he hung up. I felt like a practical joke victim. I've never seen a situation handled so poorly in my life.

Trendy 23rd restaurant is a longstanding dessert mecca. – Gaggles of teenage girls, prom entourages and couples out for a romantic date cluster under the recognizable striped awning at this corner restaurant while waiting for a coveted table. The menu in the white tableclothed dining room stars pedigreed European cuisine from French onion soup to panzanella to an aromatic clam, pancetta and herb linguine. But what the clientele is most interested in are the luscious sweets sitting in the front-of-the-house dessert case. From... read more

good place gone bad – This place use to be one of my favorites. However, it has drastically gone downhill. The selection of entrees was pitiful. My mother choose an $18 pasta dish that was terrible. It was dry with no flavor. We mentioned it to the server and she said "oh, well I hope your desert is better." That's not really the service I'd expect from Papa Haydn or any place that cost that much. I won't be going back anytime soon.

So lovely – I've only ever eaten desert at Papa Haydens, but I've been doing it pretty steadily for several years now, and the only real complaint I have is that it is ALWAYS crowded. A sign of a good restaurant and the crowds have certainly never stopped me. I'm on a mission to try every desert I can, and have only ever been disappointed once when I ordered the Sorbet Bomb. It's not on the menu anymore, so maybe others were disappointed as well. I recommend the Autumn Meringue, and the Passion. I'm also a big fan of the cob... read more

Papa Haydn's, just keeps getting better! – Papa Haydn's has been one of my favorite restaurants in Portland for many years but I have to say I was there last week and things have changed ... When do you ever hear that a restaurant that has been around for over 20 years, has not been content to rest on it's laurels but has actually shaken things up and improved on a good thing? Some of the mainstay desserts recipes have been revamped. The venerable Marjolane, my favorite dessert in the world has a crispier merinigue and a mor... read more

It was like having an 0rgy in my mouth – The food was divine. The atmosphere was romantic. Having our dessert and coffee over a candle lit table made for the perfect evening.

Excellent Service with pseudo-unruly kids. – We always stop in the Northwest part of Portland for lunch as we head to Seattle from parts South, and we have always admired this place but were afraid to go in with our brood (two 8's and one 10). However this time we chanced it, and even though their request were almost unreasonable (all the cheese on the side, the salmon without pepper, etc) the staff was friendly and quick and brought the food and wine promptly and professionally. We went there for lunch, and would likely NOT... read more

Very pleasant meal, though building needs A/C – I visited Papa Haydn's westside location with 3 friends, 2 of whom were from out of town. We chose Papa Haydn as an upscale restaurant with superior desserts, and that exactly what we got. Three of us ordered Caesar salads (2 salmon, 1 chicken), and all were enjoyed. The only downside was the overcooked salmon, but the flavor was still delicious. The salads were served whole-leaf, which I don't prefer as it makes it harder to eat. The fourth friend ordered the halibut and seeme... read more

Best Burger! – Okay, I love burgers! Just when I had thought I tried every burger joint in town, claiming to be the best, my partner suggested Papa Haydn's to me. I am not a huge fan of N.W. 23rd dining but I agreed to give it a shot. When arriving, I remembering passing this place before and just thinking " Oh, another schmoozy place I most likely will avoid." At the entrance is an elaborate dessert display that made my sweet tooth begin to ache! A hostess promptly greeted us and we were seated right away. We were provided ... read more
