Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Hillsboro

We had the radicchio salad, beef and pork gnocchi and tagliata. The salad was so fresh and delicious, the Caesar style dressing was absolutely to die for and it wasn’t overdressed (which is a usual problem for me). The beef and pork gnocchi was soft and tender, and the ragu was so flavorful. The tagliata was cooked to perfection and the chimichurri was the perfect compliment. I’m really glad I didn’t let the string of poor reviews impact my decision to dine here. Perfect atmosphere, impeccable service and some of the best Italian food I’ve had in a while. Brava Nostrana!

Each dish brought out just got better and better! The service was so friendly and the servers were patient and knowledgeable. Our last dish took a little longer to come out so they brought us a spice infused wine that aids in digestion that they comped. It was such a nice treat!

We enjoyed ourselves from being seated to paying the bill. Both the manager, Matt, and the waitstaff were very attentive and accommodating. We ordered a broad range of meals, from jumbalaya to crab fettuccine, to stuffed salmon, to a cheeseburger, and everything was cooked properly. Tasted a few different beverages, and our birthday boy (35) was given a card signed by several staff members and a sundae to share. We’ve eaten here before, now introduced 2 new patrons who vowed to be back.

Fabulous food. Yum! Lovely atmosphere. Service was a bit spotty. I had to wait for my wine after I got my entree. Very happy we got a booth. Will be happy to return for another delicious meal and cocktail.

Stanford's is one of my favorite Portland restaurants. They have a great menu with lots of choices, and the food is always delicious. The service has always been great as well. Whether going out for a nice dinner or dropping in at Happy Hour, going to Stanford's has always been an enjoyable experience.
