Our local friend suggested McMenamins Kennedy School for lunch when we were in the Portland area. This is another of the McMenamins repurposed buildings. The old elementary school has been repurposed and refurbished as a specialty hotel that has an excellent restaurant on the premises The Courtyard Restaurant. There was limited off street free parking at the school and street parking in the nearby neighborhood. There are both indoors and outdoor dining options (though outdoors closed due to rain on the day we attended). We were there on a Saturday and were put on a wait list until we were seated. There was significant wait time, but we wandered the halls of the building and took in the art and archives displayed throughout the building while we waited. Once seated, we were served right away. The menu provides many options and everyone in our group enjoyed their choices. The wait staff was friendly and efficient. Our bill for three people eating lunch was $60. We would love to come again and enjoy the food and atmosphere again.
