The French Cusine/Bistro of Gresham. Grown-up get-away for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Very nice servers.

While in Gresham on a Sunday, a couple of weeks ago, I thought I would visit the highly recommended restaurant, Sympatico. It was morning and I'm not really a breakfast person, but I was hungry and had some time to spare. I picked up a menu at the counter and looked at my options. Turning my head to the close-by kitchen and grill, I saw several Eggs Benedict accompanied by potatoes. I don't like Eggs Benedict. After ordering a hot croissant with ham and swiss I made my way to the dining area and saw that several people had ordered the Eggs Benedict, but they all looked different. Some of them had salmon, some with ham and I couldn't tell what the others were. But I overhead the diners (groups of ladies that were clearly friends, couples who wanted a special breakfast, I didn't see any children because this place looked more like a grownup get-away) commenting on how wonderful it was. By this time I wished I had ordered the EB. On my way out, the server was kind enough to offer me a taste. I was in heaven. It had all the wonderful elements you could hope for.

I had to go back for dinner that same night. This time I was seated first with the server offering me a cold beverage and a menu. I'll write more on that later. Even more amazing than breakfast!

"Flair of French, Down Home and Just Plain Wonderful Food, Best Restaurant in Gresham in EEONS"

Whatever your heart desires! And probably more. Superb flavors are startling and amazing. Being a more "mature" person, I have constantly been surprised, and pleasantly elated with the amount , the presentation, and the consistency of the quality of food served. I began eating at Sympatico about 2 years ago for lunch, (along with hundreds of others). The Hungarian Soup and any kind of sandwich or salad was the event I looked forward to. I live in Boring, not far from Sandy. I would go into Gresham even though Sandy is much closer, just to eat at "Sympatico." They now have added breakfast, and dinner. Double YUM. Whatever your choice is, if you are not satisfied, your taste buds haven't grown up yet. (Big Smile) The owners are accomodating, pleasant, and professional. I have never had a bad meal. After watching the meals go by, perhaps I would have wanted something other than what I had ordered...We were discussing with Rebecca (one of the owners), that perhaps some background music would be ideal in the summer months when the side doors can be opened up. Whatever your tastebuds are, you will be satisfied. Because they prepare food from scratch, and get busy at lunch time, call ahead and order over the phone if time is not on your side. Here is my challange to all of you-- 'Betcha can't eat there just once. Otherwise, sit back , enjoy the moment, and allow service to come to you at the hands of the "Masters."

Great flavor combinations

I took my mother-in-law here on the recommendation of a friend. I wasn't impressed with the outside of the restaurant, the location doesn't match the sophistication of the restaurant. Once I walked inside, the restaurant became a beautifully elegant place. The smells were inviting and we were hungry.

Olive bread and rosemary butter were served to tide us over until our meals were served. I ordered a chicken dish with lots of olives. My mom-in-law ordered a roasted chicken salad. Both meals were healthy proportions. The flavors were so perfectly matched--the roast broccoli had me rushing to the store to attempt duplication. I love Mediterranean flavors and there were some good choices on the menu, I had a difficult time choosing. There were also many tempting sandwiches.

I was pleasantly surprised, called my friend to thank her for the heads up, and heard that breakfast is just as good. I look forward to meeting her there, I know the meal will be delicious. And I will walk away wondering if I could even come close to duplicating the delicious flavors at home.

I highly recommend this restaurant!

Best in Gresham - No exceptions.

Sympatico has the best Breakfast and Lunch in Gresham. The food is very fresh, local, homemade and exceptionally tasty. Everything is made to order and the quality tells it all. This is truly the best place in Gresham and can compete with many Portland restaurants. This is something Gresham has needed for a long, long, long, looong time.

Delicious Food, Horriable Ora

So, It was Sunday morning, and The bistro looked like an inviting place to eat. The food was amazing,
but the service, and the overall feeling of the place was less then exceptionary.
The lines sometimes croud the whole walk way, in and out of the resturant.
The employees are very bossy.

Best food in Gresham!

Sympatico is a great addition to Gresham. The food is fresh,delicious and great portions. The atmosphere I think could use some work though. It is a little too religious for my taste and I could see it turning some people off from dining there. Maybe if they toned that down a little bit it would have more of an actual French bistro feel. Other than that though I think the place is great and I hope they are around for a long time!

Wonderful

I just love this place. I can see all of the work and creativity that goes into all of the dishes that they serve, and at such a reasonable price. I found the employees to all be very attentive, and accomodating. I havn't had a bad thing on the menu. Everythings delicious. You just dont find such wonderful little jewels in Gresham very often, and Im very thankful to have this place. I tell everyone I know that they have to try this place, they dont know what they're missing. I highly recommend the eggs benidicts for breakfast and the Steak and peppy jack for lunch. But you really cant go wrong with anything.
