Restaurant Review: Papa Hayden

by Elliot McIntire

Papa Haydn’s has been one of our favorite go-to spots for as long as we’ve lived in Portland, but it has now moved to our skip-it list. We went there for lunch a couple of weeks ago. We each had an entree, a drink, and Marina had a dessert. My risotto was fine, but Marina’s Nicoise Salad was barely edible, and the bill (with tip) came to over $100!  Seemed pretty steep for an almost okay lunch.

Editor’s note: I think this is our first negative review. But given that this is such a well-known place, I for one was glad to have this information. CB
