I've been thinking a lot about this and have concluded that, hands down, Zalaya is Eugene's best restaurant -- in every sense of the word "best." They call the cuisine Mediterranean, but really the dual foci here are Spain and Oregon. Zalaya doesn't try to be a true tapas bar, but what its owners have created is somehow more authentic, considering the setting -- more appropriate to Oregon. The menu is judiciously short (there are no weak dishes), seasonal, and locally-focused, taking advantage of the full bounty of the Willamette Valley. Call it Barceloregon cuisine. Or maybe Spangene. Zalaya's Amanida appetizer plate is a great way to start, offering tastes of half-a-dozen stellar tapas. The main courses, especially the paella and lentil gnocchi, are really outstanding. Trust the servers' wine recommendations, too -- they've steered me toward a lot of interesting Spanish wines and ports that I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise. So far, the only desserts they've offered are a ginger creme brulee and a dense molten chocolate torte; both are good, but not remarkable. But that's a small quibble. If you're looking for a nice night out in Eugene, a great special occasion spot or parents-in-town spot, I couldn't recommend Zalaya more strongly. The setting is lovely, too -- a beautifully restored, century-old house tucked away on a sleepy, leafy street in downtown Eugene. Enjoy.

Great pancakes. Great service! Awesome owner! I have never had a bad meal in my life, and I have grown up with Ye Olde Pancake House. My personal favorite...the banana pancakes. I also thoroughly enjoy the wide variety of syrups.

The food here is very good. I love the bread and dipping sauce. The prices are high, and you should expect a long wait. If you are not in a hurry, and have the extra dough to spend, by al means...It is good food.

This is my first review, but I wanted to take the opportunity to praise this establishment. They deserve all of the business they can get.
Contrary to what some would say, this is not a hole-in-the-wall in the true sense. It's actually a fairly decently-sized restaurant (probably converted from a Denny's or something like it) with plenty of adequate seating. It's open and airy, as well as bright, having lots of large windows all the way around.
I haven't had too many dishes off the menu besides the french-style iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk, fried tofu and the pho, but I was absolutely thrilled just to find a restaurant that had the real thing. They're a teensy bit more expensive (around $8/bowl) than I'm used to from my days in Seattle (where you can get a gallon of the stuff for not much over $5, along with free cream puffs), and they don't have nearly the variety of choices for what parts of the cow you favor that a restaurant devoted solely to pho would have, but it is the first authentic pho I've had since leaving Seattle.
As an added bonus, they're on a major bus line that I can easily walk to and from.
Pros: reasonably priced, large menu, on the bus line
Cons: not as many options for cuts of meat in the pho, no free cream puffs

If you go, have a salad. Icebergs won't be straight ahead. Understandlably, you won't be paying the price of a "McSalad."
