Cameo Cafe

* Comments on Decor - WOW This place beats every where else, hands-down, in the STRANGE DECOR contest.  It gives meaning to the word unique.  This is where country kitchen meets the land of Shabby Chic tea pots and figurines, meets 1980s Asia,  then mix in an old fashioned photo galley of various Miss Americas, a pinch of the psychedelic1960s, a bow to mid-century modern,  then add lots of crystal chandeliers that have strange little things hanging from the bottoms of these light fixtures...and you've created the Cameo Cafe. It doesn't stop inside ...outside, at the front door, there is a chicken coop (hidden under a blanket for insulation)  And  all of that is just a start. You walk into a new world when you enter here. You can't help but notice it is unusual when you enter but as you sit and study the place, the details begin to overwhelm you -- but it is fun--and it is squeaky clean

* The Food Was -- ok --we had a Eggs Benedict and a half acre of blueberry pancakes --and a half acre is BIG.  The eggs were fine--but not special --and the pancake was bland. Not bad--but not particularly good either.  The coffee was not up to Portland standards

* You Ought to Try -- to go to see the decor if you are in that part of town-but don't go out of your way to do it.

* The Service Was -- ok

* Of special note -- did we mention the decor?

* We will go back? not likely
