205 Place — Attraction in Portland

This whole parking lot is an accident waiting to happen!!! When you drive around like you are a mouse in a maze, with the all 'stop signs', nobody does the right thing and gives the correct person the right of way here at all, there are times that I've had to wait for a row of cars to go cause they wouldn't let us go at all...There needs to be more security around the parking lot too, not just by the mall, but by Olive Garden, Red Robin, Home Depot load up area!!! This night I visited this area, I went to dinner at Olive Garden with my mom, and right at the benches by the front doors, this kid maybe 19-20 years old, he had sores all over his face, his eyes kept rolling while pan handling us, asking for change.. We let the restaurant know, but like 20 minutes later I went to get something from my car, he was still there, asked me again for change, and then asked me the 3rd time, when I went back into the restaurant??? I even stated to him, you asked me 3 times already, the answer is no... I told the restaurant AGAIN, and when we left 1hr later, he was roaming the parking lot, looking in car windows, as he walked by them!!! Shady area all around!!!...

While this was my first time at this restaurant I didn't come away with a satisfied smile on my face. My lunch was served on a carving board where I was supposed to add onions and guacamole to my steak tacos. I also ordered rice and beans for my order. Sides are extra. The taco shells were very thin and when I tried to roll the first one up to pick it up and eat, the shell tore in half. So I used a fork to eat my lunch. The steak meat was tiny pieces made up of gristle and very little meat. While these people were very friendly and pleasant some couldn't speak English. I was never asked if I wanted a refill on my coffee or water. My Attorney paid for this lunch so I was spared the cost. I'm hoping after hearing about my review this place will try a little harder for their customers. Note:. One of the servers was in the restroom at the same time I was. She didn't use soap when she washed her hands.....only water. It did appear to be a very clean restaurant but the ladies restroom needed some attention. There weren't any seat protectors and the toilet paper fell off...

Don't be expecting Clackamas Mall or Lloyd Center Mall stores here. If you need a quick trip to Target or Home Depot, sure. If you are looking for small little clothing stores or traditional mall stores ie. Spencer's, Gap, what have you, keep moving. The surrounding mall stores are in abundance but the main building has the sort of worn out vibe of a building who's glory days are a faded memory. If you need to walk around the inside of the mall , the first thought that enters your mind is, what happened. Elderly mall walkers are one thing. But the worn out vendors who peddle everything from baseball card dredges, to Beenie baby charlatans have me rolling my eyes, literally and figuratively on every visit. Like I said, if you need a gallon of milk or a haircut, no issues. But don't try the rest if the mall....
