Great fresh fish and lamb. Pacific oysters melt in your mouth! Knowledgeable waiter. Lakewood Bay view.

We had the pleasure of dining here last night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was exceptional—easily five stars—and the service was flawless from start to finish. The only drawback was the ambient noise level, which made conversation challenging for our party of four. We often found ourselves repeating remarks just to be heard. A subtle addition of white noise might help balance the acoustics and elevate the overall atmosphere. That said, the quality of the meal and service ensures we’ll be back.

The food had good flavor but our lobster tails were overcooked and rubbery. Our waitress was taking so long coming to our table between visits that we were waiting on her the whole meal, which wound up taking nearly two hours. For our drink order, for our drinks, for our food order, for our dessert order. She said it was because she had other tables, but because we had to wait so long, we were one of the last tables and we were still waiting long periods of time on her to come to our table. She was also a little snooty when I'd ask questions, which I didn't understand. For spending $200 for two people, I would expect better service. Really put a damper on what could have been a lovely evening.

We've been here 3 times this summer and it has been hit or miss. I've been here for weekday lunch and Friday dinner. Both times we were impressed by the food (taste and portions), and service. Enjoyed eating indoors at the bar and also on the outdoor patio with great views of the lake. A stellar and unique experience! Based on those prior experiences, I decided to bring my parents here for their anniversary celebration on a Sunday evening and we had a poor experience that one time. I felt totally embarrassed that I brought them here. We were seated with half of our table (and party) in direct sun on the patio - no shade on one side. We were initially given 1 food menu for our entire table and it took 40 minutes for our drinks to come out (just water, sodas, and juice) and over an hour for the complimentary bread to make it to our table. Once the food came, it was all delicious as usual, however. Our server was courteous and helpful when they were available. We really like this place overall, just have gotten inconsistent experiences here. Hard to recommend given the price point and inconsistency, but when it has gone well we've really really enjoyed dining here.

I have been wanting seafood for a while. I am so thrilled that this is where we went. If it wasn't for me on a date I would have taken pictures. The diver scallops were absolutely scrumptious, is the only one eating oysters that evening I was pleased that they were not excessively large. My date had the salmon and said it was perfect.
The service was absolutely excellent through appetizer, dinner and dessert.
The atmosphere of the restaurants was exceptionally suitable for a date night and the location made it a lovely place to go for a stroll after our dinner.

This place has great views of Lake Oswego as it is on the second floor. The shrimp and spring roll appetizers were very tasty. The spring roll sauce is a bit spicy so watch out. The fish and chips were cooked to perfection - nice and golden color which I like to see. Fish was rock fish which I had like this for the first time. It really works and tastes amazing. I finished off with the lovely Lemon Posset. It was nice and lemony as expected but also very smooth and creamy. I could have another one for sure as it was really light. The raspberry coulis was a great choice. Drip coffee was also tasty. In some places unfortunately coffee quality is ignored, which leaves a bad taste in your mouth as you leave-here it was great. Our server was very attentive and helpful. I liked his eye for detail while serving and clearing up. No small mess was left behind. He also adjusted the portions of the starters to be enough for 6 people without us reminding him. Great job! I would gladly visit this restaurant again. It is on my good list of places 😉

A client of mine and her sister and I had lunch there and it was quite pleasant. Our server was prompt and courteous and the food was enjoyable. Regretfully it was raining so we did not get to enjoy a great view of the lake, but that gives us a reason to return.

Great environment and view, I did only get one dish which was the Ahi Poke. It lacks Asian twist and flavor. Coming from someone who is Asian this is very Americanized. It was fresh but just lacked flavor and authenticity

Great staff, reasonable drinks, tasty food. Well worth the walk up 20 stairs to get there.
