Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Gresham / Troutdale

We’ve always had a great experience at Nostrana, and love to celebrate special occasions there. Ensalata Nostrana and Pizza with extra fixings are a great standby; last night we got the Papardelle as well, so good! Excellent wine list and the Tiramisu is a perfect way to end the meal.

We went the day before Christmas Eve and it was the most amazing and memorable experience of a lifetime! We had just found out that my FIL has a very aggressive form of cancer and this was a memory none of us will ever forget. The six of us ordered about 9 HH apps and two entrees and everything was a 10/10! The food was the out of this world, our server was the most attentive we’d ever had, and the ambiance was quiet, exciting, and amazing the entire time. I highly recommend this tapas-style culinary experience of a lifetime!

Wedding Anniversary Celebration! We arrived and waited in the lounge for a window table and are so glad we did. Wonderful view! We can recommend the Lobster Bisque and the Lamp Chops. Our server, Daniel, was marvelous and was supported by Laurel, who was a gem. Bethany in the lounge was very good and really took care of us.

My wife and I go every year for her birthday, which is on Christmas Day. So we visit the Ringside a few days before her birthday. It is always the most stellar experience for her. We absolutely love the service. The food is pure class, so delicious. We love the elegance of the place and the community vibe, having been open since 1944. It is her favorite gift for her birthday month.♥️😀

We celebrated our anniversary and felt like royalty by the attention we received. My steak was prepared to perfection and my husband had the best battered fish and chips ever. Beautiful setting, table with great view of the river. Desert was delicious.
