Food: Deschutes creates big buzz in Pearl
From the Portland Tribune:
There are some restaurants that find overnight success. A recent meander through the Pearl District indicated that the new Deschutes Brewery (210 N.W. 11th Ave., 503-296-4906,www.deschutesbrewery.com) has a good shot at being one of those places.
May 2 was the grand opening and by 4 p.m. customers were packing the sidewalks like spectators waiting for the floats in the Rose Parade (albeit these people were waiting with pints in hand).
The staff was understandably harried but seemed somewhat stunned by the crush. Who knew Portlanders like their micros so much? (That’s a joke).

I have to say, I'll second that comment about the wait staff. Not only did the order not come out correct (simple request: hold the mayo), but it took about 30 minutes to get the bill. And this was over lunch hour. I saw plenty of staffers standing around, so I'm not sure what the deal was.
Food was good, however. And their beer is always worthwhile. Hopefully they can find some more experienced waiters before it becomes an issue.
