New American Restaurants near Clackamas, OR

“Fuego Underground is indeed "Fire!" I've been to dozens of Speakeasy establishments in New York, Las Vegas, and even in Central America. Fuego Underground has easily become a top 5 favorite experience for me!It isn't secreted behind an unmarked door or hidden behind a business front, but it has an authentic feel of a Speakeasy from the 20s and 30s. The servers are dressed as flappers, and the interior of the Underground beneath De Fuego bar attached to the Monarch hotel in Clackamas is opulent yet tasteful and reminiscent of the era. There is live piano music at opening, and smooth jazz trios and featured artists later in the evening.The service is on point. Everyone embraces the spirit of the experience being created within the Fuego Underground. The cocktails are heavily weighted toward the whiskey and bourbon drinking crowd, yet all drinks are given the prohibition era spin in presentation. The entrees are predominantly various cuts of beef with some exceptions, and they are of equal quality to any high-end steak house in Portland. The sides are varied and better than most compared to, say, El Goucho or Ringside. I had a Gâteau au Chocolat for desert that was delicious! (even though I had to take it home and eat it 2 hours later for being so full!)Overall, it was an amazing experience! If you love a good Speakeasy, you HAVE to try Fuego Underground. If you just like great steaks and craft cocktails, this is a hidden gem with easy parking, but reservations are recommended. This place is popular and for very good reason.“

“Perfect date night with amazingly well prepared food. Appreciated that we didn’t feel rushed by the waiter or that the restaurant was trying to keep the guests revolving through as fast as they could. Was not expecting a few menu items with Asian flair, highly recommend pairing the chilled tom kha mussels and shrimp udon. Husband said oysters were the best he’s had. Really enjoyed having some different drinks to try, like skin contact wine and Amari. Will definitely be back!“

“Lovely venue, amazing food. Every single bite was unique. I typically approach food as fuel, but the same ingredients prepared by masterful hands and palates on a warm Portland evening are downright ethereal. Unparalleled. Go for the fixed course meal and wine pairings, and let them make the decisions. Dealbreaker: The focaccia and butter plate is like none I’ve experienced before. Best plate ever. Seriously. If you haven’t had butter or cheese with honey and fennel, it’s a must.“

“From start to finish our experience here was perfect. The staff are so friendly and focused you will never be without anything you need. The food is beyond delicious and the presentation is beautiful. They are able to but together flavors that you would never think would work, and then wonder why you haven't been eating these combos your entire life. I woke up still dreaming of the food. And as a bonus they are a women owned business.“

“I’ve been here 7 or 8 times, and I keep coming back. Food 5 stars, love the shareable idea and that the food changes but kinda stays the same. The non meat options are chef kisses. Servers 5 stars. Bathrooms 5 stars. Desserts 5 stars. Drinks 5 stars. What more can I say? If this restaurant ever were to struggle (it wouldn’t), I would single handedly do my best to keep it in business. I may have left a review before but can’t find it so here’s another. 10/10 highly recommended“

“One of favorite breweries. A hidden jewel of the Portland beer scene. High quality beer in a wide variety of traditional styles and some innovations. Chill and friendly vibe. Dog friendly. Worth going off the beaten path to have a pint or two.“

“Great low-key atmosphere, rain or shine! Family and dog friendly. Tons of outdoor seating, dozens of brews on tap, and several food truck options. We opted for brews and 1/4 slices of Ranch Pizza's pepperoni pizza and breadsticks. Everything hit the spot, staff were kind and helpful, and on a Friday night there was live music on the patio. We'll certainly be back!“

“Was in town for a few days and came in for lunch. First time at this spot though I've been to Han Oak before. Lunch was really excellent. I went with the Ban Chan side dishes, a dol sot bowl of rice, and split the Korean fried chicken with one wing of each flavor (essence of ramen and sweet and spicy) The ban chan was quite good, especially the marinated spinach. The wings were also excellent. Beautiful crunch and flavor. One order plus the sides was enough for lunch (for me, at least). My only disappointment was the dol sot rice. It wasn't actually dol sot. There was no fried crunch on the bottom, probably because it wasn't actually cooked in this pot. Just served that way. Felt a little unnecessary. Just a side of rice will do. Service was excellent. Sat at the bar and my bartender was kind and sweet. Was lovely to be back in PDX. Will come back for lunch next time I return.“

“Super cool snack store with some very interesting and creative sundaes ? it’s a perfect dessert place after a meal at nearby restaurants or bars.We got the cheese and crack sundaes with a marshmallow on top. Super good and we can barely finish it ?“

“I make it a point to visit Canard Burnside on all of my trips to Portland! The unique flavors and presentations on their menu keep me coming back for more. Had the roasted beets last night for the first time and the flavor was out of this world.“

“Otto and Anita’s > GustavsHands down amazing. Said the red wine caper sauce was still cooking (they cook the sauces, enough said) and wasn’t available. To my surprise it wound up on my plate :) amazing spatzle + meatGood selection of import beers too“

“Located in the heart of the city, The Observatory is a hidden gem for meat lovers. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with warm lighting and rustic decor. The menu boasts a variety of meat dishes, but the standout options are the lamb burger and meatloaf.The lamb burger is a juicy and flavorful delight, served with crispy fries and a side of tangy aioli. The lamb patty is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, making each bite a savory experience. The meatloaf, on the other hand, is a classic comfort food dish that is elevated to gourmet status at The Observatory. Served with a rich gravy and creamy mashed potatoes, the meatloaf is tender and moist, bursting with hearty flavors.Overall, The Observatory is a must-visit for any meat lover looking for a satisfying meal. Whether you choose the lamb burger or the meatloaf, you can be sure to enjoy a high-quality dining experience that will leave you coming back for more.“

“Always a wonderful experience. Top notch plant based cuisine with a wonderful twist of flavor combinations.True care and time goes into their menu, tonight we enjoyed house made tempe, sauces, vinegars, and fermented beverages that have been crafting for months.Far more than just a meal Astera delivers a dining experience worth the price of admission.Highly recommend!“

“What an experience! Don’t listen to all the reviews from folks saying it’s “overpriced” as this trend is just ridiculous—Xiao Ye is the definition of you get what you pay for. The service and ambiance is top tier; the restaurant is staffed extremely well and every person was super attentive and nice. Our server also had great food and drink recommendations.As for the food/drinks: I thought everything was stellar. Standouts were the mini Madeleines (I could eat about 50 of these) and the truffle Mac n cheese (so worth the up charge for fresh shaved truffle). The salads and cocktails were also all amazing and complex. My only gripe was the “Jolyn’s favorite noodles” lacked some flavor/spice for somebody that eats a lot of Asian noodles, but they were still a textural triumph imo.I definitely will be back!“

“This is a lovely setting in Lake Oswego.Service is outstanding and atmosphere is very relaxing. We could have stayed there tasting wine for hours. Josh our waiter was very nice and took time explaining all the different wines and their unique characteristics.They had a red wine tasting offered. But when he heard I only drink white, he made me my own special white wine tasting. I am an owner, but I'm sure they give this outstanding service to everyone.Parking: This is in a mall by Whole Foods on State StreetSo“

“I mean wow, so good. So incredibly good! I didn't realize that Plumb is the kitchen located inside of the bar (Deadshot). It was my first time experiencing something like this (maybe I need to get out more) and it was incredible. The food is made to order so patience is key but luckily theres an amazing bar with handcrafted cocktails to enjoy while you wait. We arrived right at 4pm on Saturday evening and were promptly greeted and seated. We opted for a seat right at the bar. I ordered a red wine and my husband ordered a Deadshot. Then we placed our food order. We ordered the cesar salad, grilled cabbage, burger and steak frites and everything was so incredibly good. Fresh, decadent, perfectly cooked and ever so tasty. Of the items we tried, the cabbage dish was our favorite. I've never had cabbage with bechamel, apples and hazelnuts. It was simply divine! Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“I absolutely love the decor of The Slide Inn, it really feels like I have stepped into an entire different country when i walk in. The food AND drinks are always a win, and they have great vegan and gluten free offerings, as well! The pita and hummus plate is the best I've ever had. ?Dietary restrictions: Vegan, gluten-free“

“Great rooftop. A bit chilly but really nice views. The waiter could have explained a bit more in depth about the different wines. It's like they expect you to know everything about the wine already even though you're ordering flights. Could explain a bit more while we taste, and that way you know what to order. But great atmosphere, vibes, and choices overall“

“Without a doubt one of the best sandwich joints in Portland. Absolutely everything made here is created with a passion for delicious food, and you can certainly tell when you taste it. From the smoked chicken wings, to the burgers, to the properly layered and piled high nachos, you will not be disappointed with anything you get on the menu. Pair anything with their extensive liquor selection and great tap list, along with amazing cocktails they make in house. I feel like when I’m inside, it’s like I’m back in my grandparents basement. It’s cozy and has a great feeling. Patio is great for the summertime. I can’t recommend this place enough.“

“The cocktails and food are definitely worth the journey, but it’s the atmosphere and attention to detail that make Bellwether shine. Has the feel of a French-inspired saloon at the turn of the last century,or something straight out of Paris itself.“

“I absolutely love My Vice. I live around the corner and have been in a few dozen times over the last year or so. Great little covered and heated patio to sit with my dog. The staff are always very friendly and super attentive. They usually come out with a dog treat and a bowl of water before I get seated. Then it's bloody Mary time. The food is always spot on. The breakfast dumplings are no joke and I don't know what it is about their beef but it's top notch.They've been doing dinner service on Fridays for a while now and the menu is awesome.Vegetarian options: They usually have a variety of vegetarian optionsParking: Parking lot on the side of building holds about 8 to ten vehicles“

“It's been a long time since I've back here. They have some tasty and crispy fried chicken here. It's nice that you can order from here and other food from the surrounding area and eat together. The spicy fried chicken dish has a good kick to it. The bread is a good compliment to it.“

“Break Bread was able to cater my daughter's 1st birthday on short notice. The staff was great, super friendly and communicative. Also, they're one of the few places in Portland that offers Dutch crunch bread. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Love how cozy this bar is! Dim lights and vibezzz. To eat I ordered "Trivia tots" and they were great! To drink, I got the spicy margarita and an IPA. Super cozy, hip atmosphere both upstairs and down. My friend and I hung out at the bar since trivia was going on upstairs and we just wanted to chit chat. I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area looking for a quick stopover!“

“Quaint little wine shop/bar located in SE Portland. There's probably 3 little tables and bar seating. They also have a menu for small bites. Perfect place if you don't like crowded bars and are trying to go for a more quiet environment.“

“If we had to pick one bar in Portland that is our favorite go-to for any occasion, Rum Club would be it. Love the space and vibe, the people are super friendly, the drinks are oh so well-crafted, and the food is excellent!. Love this place!!“

“Preston is one of the kindest, most personable bartenders in the city, so glad LB was able to retain his talents. Give that man a raise.Beers are diverse; light sours are the main attraction, but plenty of IPAs, stouts + lagers as well. The lager is stellar. Nice to finally see some higher ABV options.Patio is great, dog friendly, both open air + more private options. The establishment encourages outside seating, which is nice to see when most places are practicing COVID denial.Lawless BBQ is no Holy Trinity, but damn good, and very reasonably priced. Happy Hour has some great deals!!All around great spot. Cheers!!“

“Excellent food & friendly, knowledgeable service. We asked for wine recommendations and they were all spot-on and delicious (and quite generous with the pours). If I had to choose one adjective for Davenport it might be "unaffected"--everything was done very well, without preciousness or pretense. Thanks for a lovely dinner, we'll definitely be back.“

“Everything it has a cozy feeling. I love the decor. Also our waiter was very nice and friendly. I don’t live in Portland, but when I visit again I will definitely come back. My dinner was delicious. My daughter who lives in Portland suggested this restaurant.“

“From the moment you step through the door, Vista Spring Cafe welcomes you with its inviting atmosphere and warm hospitality.

“Comfortable place to eat and visit... I'm not a vegetarian, but I really enjoyed the wild salmon hash. Flavorful... The gent behind the counter was helpful. I ordered the green Macha tea w/coconut milk, oat milk and honey. Good...I met my friend, June there. She enjoyed her Avocado toast also...“

“Random place I found on google maps while walking downtown Portland. Atmosphere was very unique. We could sit on couches to eat dinner. One of a kind. Kids loved it. Place is like a bar/restaurant/living room all in one mix. Food was good. Good vibes.“

“Came here with a group from a conference nearby and had an amazing meal with excellent wine selections and recommendations. We knew in advance that our fixed menu would be $95/pp plus wine. We had a delicious meal and would happily return on our next visit to Portland!Highly recommend the focaccia (the butter is to die for) and the rabbit. Thank you for an excellent evening!“

“I am a programmer for a local city community center, and our group of seniors (13 people) had the most wonderful experience! The food, ambiance and amazing service that everyone received was top notch! What made it a truly memorable experience was the group getting to meet Cheryl herself, who was so accommodating and generous. Thank you Cheryl❤ , we will be back again and will be singing your praises with our friends and colleagues.“

“What a jewel we just discovered in Gresham!! We could not choose and ordered 3 appetizers that were excellent plus our entrees and a yummy lemon meringue pie for dessert. Good sized portions and the Apple salad was amazing!! The restaurant size is perfect for a dinner for two or four with not too many tables and spread enough apart that you can have an intimate conversation. We are going back for my birthday.“

“Cute little spot to grab a cocktail mixed excellently by such a friendly bartender. Everyone here was welcoming and so nice. The food came out pretty quick and looked amazing. I got the ox tail cheese steak sandwich with fries. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was that the cost of the meal didn't include fries. It was 16 bucks and 3 dollars more for fries. Other than thati would go again and take advantage of the happy hour pricing from 4pm-6pm.“

“I had a little lunch date with my wife there. Everything was good and food was excellent. I had Ravioli and my wife had a salad. It seems everything they serve are good. Only thing is that price was bit expensive other than that I strongly recommend this place.My dog was watching us across street. That is my Golden Retriver name "Belle".“

“Very sweet small bar tucked away in a cozy alley. The service was fantastic-got my party of two seated quickly even though we didn’t have a reservation on a Friday. The drinks were great as well as the oysters but the octopus I ordered bordered on being too salty.“

“We came here after a kid’s birthday party in the neighborhood. The food was delicious and made to order, and the kitchen was really accommodating with our 3 5 year olds, making modifications to the menu to make things kid friendly. I’m gluten free and they also very easily accommodated me. We didn’t have any drinks but the bar menu looked awesome. This is a great little gem!!!“

“This place is just adorable and such an eclectic menu! We had the sweetest time celebrating my birthday dinner and will absolutely be back for brunch! Best cooked octopus I've ever had and the table raved about the burger. Also don't miss the cheesecake.“

“Sushi burrito? That may not sound appealing at first (it didn’t to me) but Rollin Fresh gets it right.This is not your typical sushi place but that’s what makes it special. Instead of ordering and eating sushi piece by little piece, they put a lot of sushi together for you and wrap it so you can eat it like a burrito.This is an excellent and surprisingly good Portland find.“

“Great selection of original desserts. Loved the bourbon ball, which is perfect for dark and intense chocolate lovers. The baked alaska was a bit too sweet and was different to the ones I had elsewhere. Cappuccino was tasty. The location is great and the indoor space is large. Prices were also very reasonable given the great quality of the desserts. I plan to revisit to try different desserts. ?“

“Picked this place because reviews said it was dog friendly. Pizza was REALLY good and it made for a filling affordable lunch. Dogs enjoyed the patio. My server Becky did a great job keeping my drinks filled and checking in on me. I will be returning!“

“A really big corner diner. Last stop for food on my way to the airport. Walked from my bnb and ordered at the bar. They opened kind of late for breakfast (9am) so I'm guessing lunch is more their thing? I got the breakfast sandwich and fruit to go. This is one of the better sandwiches I've had. Even with a runny egg, it stayed together, this croissant bun is working miracles. Salty, savory, sweet with a tiny kick, it's hitting all the marks. But @$15, it's a little pricey. I so wanted a bloody, but I had to say no. Friendly staff gave me a water instead while I waited.“

“Stopped by here on a Thursday afternoon for happy hour with a friend. We ordered the sliders on the happy hour menu. She had the tuna, I had the burger & bacon. We both slightly preferred the burger & bacon, but they were both super tasty.I really appreciate that they give you a normal-ish portion of fries with the 2 sliders! Some places give you only a little or none at all.Highly recommend.I've been into dry ciders lately and they had Kinda Dry (Portland Cider Co) so a couple of those went well with the sliders.It's an Order at the Bar place. The bar staff was efficient. They didn't give off an immediate sense of friendliness, but once we didn't appear to be wasting their time (opened a tab, got balls to play, ordered food & drinks without indecisiveness) everyone was smiling and things were cool.Later, there was an older gentleman that came around and kinda checked on us that was really nice.If this was my neighborhood, I'd probably be at Sam's a lot. Good pool tables, good drinks, good food, app "jukebox", what more do you want??“

“We hosted our wedding in September 2023 at Coopers Hall. We picked this venue for their full-circle service, beautiful atmosphere and tasty local food. Wedding planning can be stressful, but Coopers Hall had it all- we were minimal with decor since the venue itself is so beautifully set up, the food was INCREDIBLE (they adjusted their menu to provide passed appetizers all night rather than a full sit-down meal, and our guests LOVED it), and Coral was wonderful to work with as our day-of-coordinator. Not only that, but the staff here is so fantastic that they even had a relationship with our photographer from previous events she had been a part of. From start to finish we were thrilled with our event.“

“Stopped in for the first time. Reminds me of a loved neighborhood bar/eatery.Arrowood deserves their high ratings. Husband and I had Cheeseburgers, he with salad, me with soup of the day - Curry Chicken. Wow. Burger was perfect, toppings complimented it well. Soup was so flavorful. 2 others in our party had fish and chips, raved about the chips and wished they had more. Last member had the Ahi sandwich. Said it was perfect.“

“It was nice It was a nice atmosphere I enjoyed the staff, and the food was amazing I'd like to say that I enjoyed the company of the people around me. It's a Bar, with a restaurant atmosphere , I really enjoyed my time there I came from out of town and I know every time I come to Portland I will be going to Tabor “

“Everything is great. The cocktails are unique and diverse, the food is really good - the pastrami baos are one of the best things I've ever eaten and everything else is really good, and the staff is super helpful, friendly, and welcoming. Cannot recommend this place more.“

“Roadside Attraction in Portland Oregon is a true Oregon original. It feels more like a country fair than a restaurant. The food is good, they have a pool table, juke box, and they have clean restrooms. Make sure you bring cash or you will need to use their ATM, as they are cash only.“
