Best Fun Restaurants in Canby

Nostrana is an (almost) hidden Portland treasure! The space and ambiance is warm yet epic, the entire staff seems to be operating on another level from other fine dining restaurants in Portland; they're engaged, friendly, warm, and yet professional and perfectionistic in the best possible ways. The food, all of it, was super-fresh and really special. Might have something to do with them having their own chef's garden right across the street. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Absolutely phenomenal experience from beginning to end. The ambience and decor are charming, whimsical while still being elegant. The service was top notch and friendly. The food was outstanding. I had the black cod with cauliflower puree, mushrooms and truffle plus a farro-type grain, absolutely delicious. My colleague had the lamb shank which was falling off the bone and had a ton of flavor. I highly recommend it!

Always good food and service. Only issue is the noise level when the restaurant is full. Wait staff was excellent.

Decent food. Nice atmosphere though a bit noisy at times. Our server was the best part of the experience. Friendly and quick.

We’ve blown past Parkway Grille for years—made FUN of it, even—why would we go out on a date to a random hotel restaurant with a view of the freeway? But we kept seeing reviews and even articles about the place, so we tried it on a whim. HOLY WOW, we’ve been missing out on an amazing dining experience, right under our noses, this whole time! The service was impeccable—Isaac is absolutely delightful and gave us killer menu suggestions; the other server, Carrie, is SO much fun to talk to—and the drinks! Zhanna is an epic bartender and she personally delivers the most beautiful cocktails to your table! The food was other worldly—my husband’s ribeye was perfect and my salmon was delicious. The appetizers were perfect, dessert was wonderful—the entire bill was really reasonable, and we’re kicking ourselves for skipping over Parkway Grille for so long. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you again for a lovely date night dinner!
