Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Southwest Portland

Am amazing meal as always. The food is crazy creative and always delicious. This is one of Portlands gems!

Love the way this spot is somewhat a hidden jewel. We sat at the bar and the fun and knowledgeable service was tops. That chicken liver mousse pate was like butter;smooth and perfectly seasoned. I want more! Next we had the sturgeon, cauliflower and gnocchi. All was superb. I want to go back next week. Not a thing was less than 5 stars.

This is one of our very favorite restaurants in all of Portland, especially for meeting family and friends. The ambiance and comfort level are unmatched. The menu is extensive enough for everyone to find something they enjoy. The prices do not exceed the value of the meal, which itself is invariably of high quality and well-prepared. One does not go away hungry. The service is always friendly and welcoming. The Oswego Grill in Lake Oswego always feels festive and warm. Seriously, I cannot think of another restaurant with all these fine qualities.

Arden never disappoints. This little gem of a spot offers seasonal cuisine, French inspired, but completely accessible. Nicholas is AMAZING (he will provide you with some truly amazing wine pairings) and the chef's combinations are exquisitely balanced, creative, and palette pleasing. See the chef expediting at the small counter and knowing that everything will be perfect is an experience not often found at this price point. This is a place where we are made to feel valued and welcomed, and the food leaves you contented and excited for the next culinary journey. I cannot say enough good things about Arden.

Under the radar and in my opinion, the best restaurant in Portland.
