Incredible service amazing food. All Staff has great energy. Can't wait to go back!!!!!!

This place is a little la-de-dah for me but so is most everything in Lake O. There's a speed shop a block away that keeps my hemi running like a top so when I bring it by for service and a bath I usually have b'fast here. Food is excellent. Wait staff is very attentive. Prices are a tad on the high side but this in an upscale joint (well, upscale compared to where I usually eat). Very handy to the shop. Just a block away. They have outside seating which is very pleasant on a dry day. Nice b'fast while you watch the world go by. I've tried quite a few items on their menu and have not had a bad meal yet. Parking could be a problem but not for me since I am always walking. There's ample parking behind but you have to look for it.

What a gem of a spot located in Lake Oswego! Very happy to have this restaurant close to home because it is so good. If going for brunch, there may be a wait but it's worth it! Must try item would be the waffles. They have gluten free as well which is bad a** ALMOND BERRY CREAM - I got this each time I went because it was just so perfect. The crispy outer layer of the waffle with soft center. Amaretto blueberries. Thick and creamy mascarpone. And the added textural element of an almond crumble. Absolute perfection. And surprisingly "light" feeling. CHICKEN TINGA - very good with hearty portion. Tastes like very fresh ingredients *healthy*. Left me wanting a little something extra however. Perhaps some lime or more spice. They also have the option of getting 1/2 and 1/2 waffles where you can mix and match. I got my fave waffle ^^^ and the fried chicken (not pictured). The fried chicken waffle is really good but very sweet. It is topped with a sweet potato mousse and tossed in a coconut and rum caramel over the chicken. This eliminates the desire for syrup, but was a little too sweet for me. DRANKSSS *lavender lemonade. Very pweeettyy and delicious!

Went to Babica Hen around noon and there was a line. But they've got EV charging, which was pretty nice. The wait wasn't too bad, they said 35 min and it was less... and they seemed to handle the crowd well. The restaurant was efficient and the host and servers were attentive. Got the chicken and waffles. The chicken was just okay, not the best in town. But the waffles? Really good and big portions too. My wife got the waffles with short rib and Gorgonzola. She's on a roll for picking a better option than me. We took some leftover waffles home. Might go back to try other stuff on the menu. Overall, it was a decent spot, especially for those waffles.

Pros: + I had the the smoked salmon avocado Benedict and it was DELICIOUS. + Nice brunch vibes and dish-ware, serve-ware, glassware, etc. + Ample parking. Neutral * Expect longer wait times to be seated. Cons: -- Hard to get attentive service when it's so busy, e.g., waters not refilled, hard to get attention if something is needed, etc.

I'm not even a waffle gal but I was inclined to order some waffles after seeing them go by on their way to other tables. The lemon poppyseed waffles were AMAZING, and paired with the fresh berry compote was delectable. My other fav was the avocado toast - comes as a single slice on a huge piece of bread, mashed avo + dressed arugula slaw + chili oil + more veggies and greens on top. It was piled high and spicy, just how I like it. I always add some S&P to mine as well, I appreciate that they don't over-salt the avocado in the kitchen. Overall a delicious brunch spot that is homey and bustling. Be prepared to wait! Get your name in and walk around. Keep checking the link to see how far you are down the waitlist; when you get close to the top of the list head back and listen for your name. They say they text you, but we only ever got a physical call out from the seating hostess (which was fine, but what if we were relying on the text?). Solid 8.5/10 and I'll be back if I'm in the area.
