Best Northwest American Restaurants in Oregon City

Always a favorite - service is great as is the food and menu, and no pressure to hurry up and leave

Great food, great service and great music. I had the chicken Alfredo and it was delicious.

Third time at Yalla. They have this dialed in! Excellent flavors, nice presentation, comfortable dining room. Service is always "spot on". What impresses me most, is how they handle unexpected situations. We showed up for a reservation (for 4), and they offered a table in the front of the restaurant by the door. Was a little cold and breezy on that day, so we asked for a different table. We were told that unfortunately, none were available, as they had a large party coming in, so many tables had been combined. A minute later, the hostess came back and told me they'd rearrange things for the other party, and offered us a table further away from the door. Very nice gesture - they totally could have just forgotten about it, but they made an effort to be accommodating. Same reservation, we were waiting on one last plate (food is served family-style, so plates come out throughout the meal). Asked about it, and the server told us that she thought it was coming up. She left, and a couple minutes later, the manager came out and apologized for the delay. He acknowledged that they had missed the dish, so he immediately brought it out, with an extra appetizer, and comped them both. Again, could have just brought the plate and not said anything, but they went the "extra mile" to provide an exceptional experience. Will certainly be back.

Avanti is my go to happy high end restaurant. The servers and owners are wonderful people, the food is always amazing, and they actually likely could charge more than they do for the quality. They have a diverse menu in the classic American style with strong French and Italian influences on many dishes and the sides with various entrees are always beyond surprising in their flavor. Mark’s crab cakes are probably the best you will ever have in your life and if you are there when they have mushroom soup available it is an absolute must.

Delicious machetes! And the desserts were so good. Highly recommend.
