went here today based on ljc's recommendation (http://bluedot.us/users/ljc?show=64605846545)

the atmosphere was "new jersey diner". that's good or bad depending on what you're looking for.

the pancakes were very good, and they were generous with the fresh blueberries. the egg dish i had was scrambled with sausage and hash browns -- pretty good, but there was way too much cheese on top.

a notch below my favorite seattle brunch places, but still recommended as long as you set your expectations right.

Went here for Saturday brunch. Great place on all counts (food, service, atmosphere). I had the filet mignon tips from the specials menu. Also, they took a little long to get our food ready -- so the waitress took 1/3 off our bill despite our insistence that it was not necessary.

Quoted: CJ's is a great neighborhood breakfast spot, with great breakfast food and exceptionally friendly service. They offer weekly breakfast specials, that are very interesting, as well as their standard menu of regular breakfast fare. I'm a big fan of the Eggs Benedict and fresh squeezed OJ! Lunch is ok, but nothing fantastic, this is definitely better for breakfast than lunch.

Also, here's the address:
(206) 728-1648
2619 1st Ave (Belltown)
Seattle, WA 98101

breakfast is spelled "break" "fast" for a reason...

Quoted: However, if you want to boost your metabolism, have more energy, or lose weight, eating breakfast is one of the most effective ways to accomplish those goals. By waiting until lunch to eat, your body will assume you are fasting, since it may have been 12 or more hours since you last ate.

My second favorite breakfast place in Portland. I still think Mother's Cafe is the best. Anyways...I had an omelette, and the below review is right on. Also, the service was great.

Quoted: Their omelettes, in particular, are the best in town - most places focus on impressing you with the size of the omelette, leaving the fillings and preparation to be compromised. The Bijou's are just how real French omelettes should be: perfectly tender and appropriately-sized for any person with a normal-to-above-normal appetite.

seattle has tons of great breakfast places. this one not my favorite -- but is decent. hey v, can i come, too?

Nice. Another place I can take my parents.
