Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Lake Oswego

Sitting at the communal table is always a wild card. In this case, the other five diners were quiet and didn't really interact with us. The same gamble applies to the chef assignment. Nick did a good job (considering there was a strange dietary restriction that completely changed the way he seasoned the food) but he was pretty low key, didn't talk much or interact with us. The two chefs at the closest tables were both more gregarious. The food is basically $50 per person. It was delicious but my chicken was prepared at the end because the chef "miscalculated" at gave all the meat to the others.

We had a family celebration at Tavern and the entire family loved their meal and experience. The seasonal specials of the lamb gnocchi and osso bucco were wonderful along with the staples of the tavern burger. Our server was personable and attentive while allowing family time.

Overall the experience were great. The only thing was the waiting for our table. We got the reservation at 7:30 pm but got there early and we got a text saying out table was ready at 6:55 pm. We were told it will be a minute or so but did not get our table close to our reservation time. I know it was busy around Christmas time but don't send a text saying the table was ready and then made us wait for another 30 minutes. My wife and kids wanted to leave but I told them they were busy around this time, so we decided to stay. What made it GREAT was out service person!

Service was excellent as was the 22 oz cowboy steak. Best steak I have had eating out in a long time. Superb cut of rib-eye, cooked and seasoned perfectly. My wife had the stuffed salmon which she said was delicious. We will be going back!

Consistently good spicy salami pizza. Just wish the restaurant were open weekdays at lunch still. Server was very pleasant.
