this is a great brunch spot. the food is really good and not the same old selection. they are timely and consistently delicious.
The best. Go here. I had the farmers gallete with ham, the bloody Mary, and the parm soup for the side. Woah. If you want the... best that St John's (and possibly portland) has to offer for breakfast, this is it. I love my eggs and ham, but damn... thevegetables here take the spotlight with their amazing combinations. The service was amazing too. Not pretentious like some otherspots. Everyone here wants to invite you to enjoy their food in the best mood. Read more
To start, the place is charming and the staff seems sincere and friendly. The quality was good and and I wanted to leave the... full five stars, but there were a few little things nibbling on my judgements like those little doctor fish that nibble on yourtoes during a fancy pedicure. It was a nice day and I thought it would be nice to sit outside and bask in the welcome spring,but none of the outside tables had been bussed. In fact over half the tables in the place had not been bussed so choosing aplace to sit was more of a what's left than a where would you like to sit. Staff is hard to get and the server was probably onbreak or something. I ordered Chai tea, which came with no milk or stirring utensils, so I went and fetched those myself. Maybethat's what you are supposed to do, but no one explained that to me. I ordered the BLT, which when done well is a nostalgic joyand this one, when it arrived looked like a veritable tower of fond memories and motherly love. It wasn't bad. I think maybe thebread should be reassessed. It had a good crunch, but lacked a certain chewiness that is not only a good mouth feel, but allowsthe sammie a structural cohesiveness. When I bit into it broke up like a globally warmed ice flow and I had a heck of a timeholding it together. Just a tad too crunchy. Good flavor. Good layered structure with plenty of fixins, but a little hard toactually eat. Does that effect the overall charm and rating of Paiku"s? Not really. The food felt like it was made with love andit was only a minor observation. They get dinged because the service, although friendly was not particularly on top of the game.I would be perfectly willing to try again and see if that was just bad timing on my part or a normal burp in the flow of theday. The name Paiku was a little confusing. My years in Japan led me to think it might be related to fish (Pike), or some otherobscure Japanese reference, maybe a Haiku with a P, but on enquiring it turns out to be the ter Read more
