I took my family to Shenanigans on Hayden Island, for Easter Sunday. Thinking that it would be convenient for everyone to arrive and have a nice brunch and visit. I have not been to Shenanigans since the move from Swam Island. It would be a GREAT change in pace. We arrived on time and found out that the seating for the brunch was running late, about 30 minutes. Well OK, we could deal with that. Thirty minutes goes by and did another check-in, the answer was very vague. At this point it was apparent that the staff was very unorganized. Waited another 20 minutes and checked in again, finally some progress, we were seated. While walking to our table we had notice the main coarse and at a distance looked good. So we gathered our plates and headed to the salad tables and then onto the main coarse. Finding that what looked good at a distance was not so good dishing it up. The choices of food were less than what we had seen while going to the table. We dished up what we could and started to compared notes amoung ourselves. At first I thought that it was just me, everyone had the same thoughts. That the food was not being replaced with like food, it was being replaced with what was in the kitchen. Turned out to limit your choices of food, this was at 1:30pm in the afternoon. Knowing that the bunch was advertised to run until 2:30pm, what gives? After our discussion at the table had started we also observed the quality of food available. The quality was much less than expected for this highly advertised brunch, we paid $29.00 per person. THIS SUNDAY BRUNCH WAS VERY MUCH A DISAPOINTMENT IN PORTLAND DINING.
Cons: Very Poor Sunday Brunch
