Superb service and food. The view and noise levels were perfect. I'd recommend for brunch or lunch. I never tried it at night but I'm sure it's top notch too!

This place was fancy and pricey so the hopes for the food were high. It started out fine with some fresh bread and butter. We ordered some spring rolls and they were pretty good. Unfortunately, that's where the joyous part of the experience ended. The giant scallops were decent and probably the best dish of our 3 dishes. I'd give those a solid 7/10. My mom got the stuffed salmon with Mashed Potatoes and asparagus. The portion was fine but lacked flavor all around. This dish was a 5/10. My dish, the spicy seafood stew was portioned nicely with a bowl of rice. Unfortunately, it had zero flavor. It's as if they added a bunch of seafood into hot water with red bell peppers and the bell peppers gave the "stew" its color. My rating of this dish is a 2/10 and that's generous. Please add SALT AND BLACK PEPPER to your dishes!Overall, would prefer not to revisit and just give the pizza spot downstairs a visit instead.

Terrible service. Flavorless food. Flat soda water served as water. I’ve not ever had food that I’ve had to add so much salt and pepper to to just taste something. The drinks were watery and flavorless. Our waitress forgot to bring out appetizers never asked how the food was. For the price of the entrees you would have thought you’d get some sort of vegetable but it seems like you have to pay $10 more if you’d like a starter salad or a vegetable. Colorful lentils were just brown and green and no amount of salt made them have any flavor. We left hungry and got pizza in the restaurant below after. Such a nice space for a restaurant but if you are called 5 spice I would think the last thing I’d be left begging for was flavorVegetarian options: They have one but had no flavor

Let me start with Service. Our waitress was friendly but not very attentive. We had to ask for things multiple times. I understand it's an upscale restaurant but portion size was ridiculously small and had no flavor. There was 4 of us and all our dishes were flavorless. Also our water tastes like flat soda water. I for the life of me can't see how they have such good reviews. We were very disappointed and had to go to a second dinner afterwards. If you like expensive,small portioned food with no seasoning this is the place for you.

Amazing food. Scallops were cooked to perfection. Crab cakes were excellent. Bartender made excellent cocktails. All around a great experience and would go back without question.
One of the best happy hours in Lake Oswego. Service and atmosphere are 5 of 5.

We dined in. We had the light meals and there was plenty of food. I prefer small meals and still had enough to take some leftovers home. Staff was friendly, knowledgable of menu and service was great!Parking: Parking garage had plenty of space. Street parking depending on time is tighter. No issues parking with the garage right there.

Server was attentive and friendly. Food was mediocre. You're paying for the location. Unfortunately, most of the items we ordered we felt could have been made better at home. Nothing terrible, but nothing mind-blowing. The chicken needed an actual sear and seasoning, the ribs were meh, the potatoes served with the lobster were strange, the spring rolls felt like a tiny portion for the price. The music needs to be turned down one notch. We were yelling over the table at each other. We're not just a bunch of cranky old folks, there were a mix of ages in our group. Would I go again? Maybe? Would I recommend it? Probably not.Vegetarian options: I vaguely remember two veggie/lentil options and salads.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on the second floor, but there is an easily accessible elevator.
