Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Lake Oswego

We sat at the chef's counter with a great view into the tiny kitchen, which was an experience in itself. No wonder the food is so good because that's one peaceful, harmonious and efficient kitchen. The service stands out at L'Orange for enthusiasm and personal attention. Our server, Erica, was so lovely and that last time I was there I also had an amazing server. We ordered the mushroom broth-based French onion soup, which was my daughter's favorite due to the garlic bread pudding - custardy texture against the crispiness of the cheese - and the intricate, delicious flavors. I had (for the second time) gnocchi which does not fail to delight due to the pillowy texture and layers of sauces and flavors. Dessert must include the orange cake because the flavor of natural orange is strong and pleasant. Again with the textures: burnt sugar crust, moist cake, cardamon icing and orange gelee. So many flavors to mix and match on the fork. We also had the white chocolate mousse with layers of cake and cranberry. So good. We'll be back for the service, the food and the sweet ambiance.

We had reservations, there was very little wait time for our table. Wait staff was very friendly and inviting, they interacted with us in very engaging and cheerful manner, and when asked recommendation, or staff favorites, they openly gave wonderful choices to consider. Our table ordered wine, roasted brussel sprouts for an appetizer. Then there was prime rib and petrale for the main en’tre- all of which were delicious. Portions were more the Aiden’s. We left filled and happy! Thank you!

Nostrana delivers on all fronts: great service, a beautiful interior, and fantastic food from beginning to end. We went for our anniversary and were very satisfied!

The table we requested was already booked and we were disappointed not to get the one we asked for. However, they put us at a wonderful booth and it was very quiet and we had a lovely time. The food was fabulous as usual and the service was great. Our server was helpful, kind but not TOO attentive.

You made a very happy birthday for my friend. In the midst of the holiday rush your staff took the time to make our meal extra special. I will definitely be back.
