Nice outdoor setting on SE Milwaukie and wonderful desserts, though very few are gluten free. My husband ordered the chocolate mint tort which is gluten free except for the outside edge, and we were told by the server that I could have a few bites from the middle, which I did. Delicious! I ordered a shrimp salad and was assured that it and the dressing were gluten free. All was well until the next day when I experienced a major gluten reaction. I called the manager and graciously explained what happened, but she was less tha... read more

Like the food here a lot, but today's terrible service experience pretty much wiped out a decade of good will. Our lunch order (four sandwiches and salad) took over 45 minutes, and after about the first 10 we never saw our waiter again. He was hiding in the kitchen. We finally sent somebody to ask about our food. Tables around us were seated, served and cashed out while we waited for our food. I understand kitchens get backed up or make mistakes or lose orders, but the absolute lack of communication about the delay was profo... read more

Est. in 1985 Papa Haydn's cozy Sellwood spot ditches NW's pretentiousness, maintaining their flavor-infused cuisine, and irresistible desserts. An ideal way to end an afternoon of antique and boutique browsing.

Overpriced and pretentious – I've been to the Papa Hadyn on Milwaukie Ave. only two times, but both were bad experiences, so I will not be returning. I first went several years ago when I got a gift certificate. I called an order in for take-out, but when I went in, I ended up having to wait for 30 mins. for my good (all I ordered was a sandwich and hot cocoa). I went again just last week with a large group of friends who had made a reservation for 9pm. The waitress was very rude and seemed pissed to be serving us (although ... read more

Disappointed – I must admit I was psyched to try out Papa Haydn after hearing glowing reviews from several other Portlanders. Unfortunately, I found the experience fell flat of the hype. My issues with Papa Haydn can be summed into three points: 1) Proportion 2) Portion 3) Description First, it is the mark of a good pastry chef to balance and accentuate the unique flavors of their creation through proper proportioning of each component. Unfortunately, this was not the case at Papa Haydn. The two desserts we tried (Raspberry ... read more

Hamburger & Fries Are The Best! – Although a big fan of their desserts, I also love their burgers and fries. Fun atmosphere and the staff is always terrific. Excell wine list, really one of my favorite restaurants in town.

Wonderful Variety – What a wonderful treasure. I adore resturants that use healthy local ingrediants. A wonderful variety to choose from. The salmon I chose was cooked perfectly. Light & delicate, not overly seasoned. BTW... I parked on the side street, very close and felt safe in this charming neighborhood. Today was my first time here, and I am looking forward to going back. Creative Chef, great cook, lovely service.
