Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Lake Oswego

Nostrana is an outstanding restaurant. The dining room and bar are quite beautiful and nicely furnished with quality design elements. The service was fast, friendly and efficient. The food was delicious with generous portions. We shared the wonderful Insalata Nostrana with radicchio, Parmesan Cheese, Caesar dressing and rosemary & sage croutons. For our Primi course we had the Gigli Pasta which was delightful and our Secondo course was the Mushroom stuffed Idaho Trout with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The trout was perfectly fried and deboned and, was topped by a generous dollop of black truffle butter which made it a very special dish. Nostrana is what a fine dining Italian Restaurant should aspire to. We’ll be back!

This was an anniversary dinner. Service was top notch. Our server was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive without being TOO attentive. We loved her. The restaurant was surprisingly noisy, but thankfully we were given a cozy table away from the main dining area. The food was a little different for us. My husband had the rabbit with mustard sauce, and although he’s enjoyed rabbit before, he thought the mustard sauce was overpowering the delicate taste of the rabbit. I had the butternut squash gnocchi and I savored those tender pillows of deliciousness. We both raved about our favorite part of the meal: the crispy broccoli side (with miso ricotta and pecan chili crunch.) FANTASTIC! Those flavors worked together beautifully. I had two non alcohol drinks. The caramelized pineapple shrub and soda was delightful and refreshing. I also enjoyed the mocktail “making fetch happen.” My husband had Earl Grey tea, and they kept the hot water coming. The experience was pleasant, but not particularly memorable, except for the waitress. She belongs at someplace like The Peak at Hudson Yards in NYC. They need to hang onto their fabulous staff!

The food at Katchka is always unique and delicious. The service was lovely, and the mood was festive. I love their house martini, which is both citrusy and savory.

One of my favorite brunch spots- beautiful environment and awesome staff. Come for the bottomless mimosas, stay for the perfect ambiance.

Always a good meal but the Ahí salad is a favorite. Bring back the Nebbioltini please.
