Oh, and both times we've been here, we had terrific service. She described sushi and answered our questions, recommended sake, and even brought me a new cocktail at no additional charge when I found the one I ordered too spicy.

I ordered the tuna panini, which was pretty darn tasty. My husband ordered one of the rice and bean bowls and it seemed to cut his big hunger right down. We split a large house salad, which was $7 for a big plate of lettuce, a few tomato chunks and a few slices of cucumber. We asked for more dressing as there was barely any on there and she brought us a little thing of plain old balsamic vinegar. Boring!
The interior is somewhat cute but not very cozy.

Bijou Cafe is about $5 more per person than those restaurants (meal and coffee tab for two came to $35 with tip!) and the food doesn't even begin to compare. My oyster omelet was so-so, the coffee was weak and cheap-tasting (get some Stumptown!), and my husband's roast beef hash was overcooked and tough. Also, the roasted potatoes are far tastier at other places I've been.
The only thing Bijou has going for me is location... Basically, when you're downtown and you want something more than a bagel and coffee for breakfast, you're kind of in trouble.

Why You Should Read My ReviewsThey're short and sweet.
The Last Great Book I Read"The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle
My First ConcertBarry Manilow (I was six months old)
I used the experience to do some looking at what I call myself. In the tank there was a very intimate investigation of what is left after death of the body; re-acquaintance with void and the whole world just wasn't there. Everything was lost and it was ok - I was home. Coming out into the night city street after, there was the instant "whoosh!" reappearance of forms and I was the witness, knowing all of it was being dreamed.
Use the earplugs! Avoid getting water in your eyes! This happened twice to me and I had to get out and rinse my face off in the shower stall. Bring conditioner; they provide shampoo.
