Restaurants near Crystal Creek Park

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.

My husband and I come here about once every couple of months because the food is fantastic, and all the staff are great, especially Jemma! The atmosphere is perfect for a moderately fancy, but fun and sultry food experience. This is a go-to date night spot!

Had lunch there with a friend and we shared the Mexican Street Corn. Quite good. I had tortilla soup and my friend the taco salad. Nice portion sizes and well seasoned. The service was attentive but not invasive. Will definitely eat there again!

GREAT job everyone on the team! Service was excellent, food was great, and you really were very busy! Positive attitudes helping people celebrate the holiday, you guys were awesome!!

Considering how many exceptional restaurants there are in the Portland area, it's a bit unusual that we choose to go to Mingo so often, but dinners like the one we enjoyed last Friday night are exactly why we do. It literally was one of the best meals, and best dining experiences, we've had in quite some time. As usual, the staff were friendly and approachable, even when informing us that the party ahead of us at our table was taking longer than they expected to finish up. So Michael, the owner, found a couple of seats at the bar took our drink order, which we enjoyed while we waited for our table. The wait was less than 10 minutes and no big deal...it was a busy Friday night during the holidays after all. When we were seated, it didn't take long for our server. Suzie, to come over, tell us about the menu specials for the evening and recommend what turned out to be a lovely bottle of red wine that we had with dinner. We split a crab cake appetizer and a Mingo (Caesar) salad and both were fresh and delicious. My wife ordered the daily ravioli dish and I selected cioppino, and we were both very happy with our entrees. The cioppino was packed with seafood in a delicious broth...I would definitely get it again. The entire place had a festive vibe to it, with a solid "hum" of conversation but it wasn't so loud as to make it difficult for us to talk with each other and with Suzie. It was an absolutely lovely evening from start to finish.
