Cafe Allegro, Tigard, OR P11
 
While Cafe Allegro puts out a pretty fair lunch and dinner menu, it does tend to be a bit pedestrian...certainly not inspired....but good and tasty...somewhat Italian, a bit of the Northwest and a bit heavy handed.

Caesar salad is far too gloppy with gelatinous white stuff; Minestrone soup is excellent; blackened salmon is quite good; sauteed mushrooms a bit heavy handed; an evening special of scallops, peppers, cheese and penne pasta was good, but uninspired.

Prices are good, as is the service...but one has to question the long line up at the self service sign in sheet...and where is the host/hostess to announce when tables are ready?  An unnerving event.
